Where To Get A Frozen Treat In Tuscaloosa

Frost Bite

There’s ice cream, and then there’s the innovative fresh take on ice cream at Frost Bite Tuscaloosa. Just off University Boulevard, this shop goes far beyond the traditional scoop to deliver special frozen treats like liquid nitrogen ice cream, shaved ice cream, and rolled ice cream. They also serve items treated with liquid nitrogen to create a “dragon’s breath” effect.

Summer Snow

It might not snow very often here in the South, but you can enjoy an icy chill on the hottest days of the year at Summer Snow. The little shack has served up a vibrant spectrum of flavorful shaved ice since 1988, and locals from all across Tuscaloosa come by the shop to beat the Alabama heat. You can always ask for a classic flavor like grape or strawberry, and expect the purple and red to color your tongue in the process. If you can’t decide, you can also order a combination of flavors.

Steel City Pops

The frozen pop shop that started in Birmingham has found a wonderful second home here in Tuscaloosa, and Steel City Pops sets themselves apart from other pop makers with their high-quality ingredients and inventive flavors. The Alabama business is dedicated to sourcing their materials from local purveyors, and you can enjoy pops enhanced with the delicious flavors Priester’s Pecans and Seeds Coffee. The menu presents a variety of creamy pops like the buttermilk or chocolate, fruity pops like blood orange or raspberry lemon, and cookie pops like the chocolate brownie. They even offer some Paleo diet-friendly options like an avocado chocolate pop and a mixed berry pop.
