Today, it’s time to celebrate National Ice Cream Day — quite possibly the best holiday of the summer.

Treat yourself to a cone or dish, a banana split or milkshake and cool down from the hot summer temps this weekend.

Enjoy National Ice Cream Day at one of these popular sweet shops:

1. Broom’s Bloom Dairy (Bel Air) — Winner of multiple awards, Broom’s Bloom won the first spot on our list as readers raved about the irresistible old-fashioned ice cream. No objection here!
2. Arctic Circle (Churchville) — Prefer soft-serve ice cream instead? Arctic Circle came in second for their creamy ice cream and shakes. (Is your mouth watering yet?)
3. Jarrettsville Creamery & Deli (Jarrettsville) — The homemade ice cream is made daily in house and served up in over 20 flavors. (Coconut Almond Chip, anyone?) Did we mention their waffle cones are made fresh at the creamery too? Yum!
4. Bomboy’s (Havre de Grace) — Known traditionally for their handmade chocolate treats, Bomboy’s is also home to some of the best ice cream in the area. Flavors include: Cookies Galore, Snickerdoodle, Oreo Cheesecake and Cotton Candy.
5. Keye’s Creamery (Aberdeen) — Their premium ice cream is made from the farm’s grass-fed cows and is then hand-mixed right at the creamery. Quarts and pints of ice cream are also available for purchase at the creamery or at other locations across Harford County.
