Rolled ice cream has been around for a while, but rolled ice cream in a waffle cone taco, now THAT is next level. A “melting pot of taste,” from the experience of watching your ice cream be made, and the decadent smells of freshly crafted waffle cones that fill the air, this is a place you won’t want to miss.

#1: Ginger Street

This might be bold, but the ice cream at Ginger Street is debatably the best ice cream in all of Salt Lake City. Traditionally, a “Southeast Asian Hawker Style Street Food Restaurant” has five flavors of ice cream perfection (salty vanilla, pineapple, malted milk, chocolate, coconut). This small but bold restaurant has a perfect walk-up window just for ice cream lovers where it is easy to order any of the secret recipe-driven, mouth-water-inducing ice cream bowls or cones. Ginger Street is located in the heart of Salt Lake City and allows visitors to see the best parts of downtown while having the best sweet treat in town.
