Ahem. I’d put Udder Delight ahead of both of them.

Our local place is [Flint Farm](http://www.flintfarmstand.com), which has a lot of good flavors. Hmmm. I may have to load the family into the van to go get frappes.

There is, of course, Moo Time in Coronado. They have a depot at the Hotel Del. Almost makes it worth going back…

There’s also [Sloan’s](http://www.sloansicecream.com) down in SoFlo, too!! It’s so zany and colorful and there are so many flavors to choose from along with tons of handmade unique treats!! They also sell a bunch of toys there, too. Stuff you wouldn’t find in your local Toys R Us…gag toys, animated horses, giant plushies, you get the drift. It’s fairly recent; been around since 1999 so officially 15 years. Also one location has this [really rad bathroom](http://http://www.thedailymeal.com/america-s-12-best-restaurant-bathrooms-slideshow).

I go here all the time after I go to the movies because it’s right downstairs below the movie theater. It’s expensive though, $5 for a cone or a small cup…but so worth it! Eating a waffle cone makes me feel really nostalgic, too. 🙂
