Coming in hot! As the temperature rises and we prepare to go outside, we all prefer to escape the heat by cooling off with a treat. Whether it’s ice cream or milkshakes, shaved ice, or popsicles, Huntsville has plenty of delicious treats for the whole family. There are quite a few places here in The Rocket City to help you cool off this summer. Here are a few of my favorites.
Oscar Moon
Traditional milkshakes are great, but there are times when going over the top is necessary and Oscar Moon has you covered. “Oscar Moon’s is a shake shop. A vintage soda fountain. A milkshake bar. Whatever you call it, it’s decadent & delicious.” Oscar Moon is located at
Stovehouse which guarantees sweet fun.

Pinguinos Shaved Ice
Pinguinos Shave Ice offers bright, fruity, and tasty summer treats. Their unique twist on shaved ice is like no other. The strawberries & sweet cream is my personal favorite.
