ice cream parlor

Frozen dessert establishment

An ice cream parlor is a shop or restaurant that specializes in serving ice cream, sundaes, milkshakes, and related frozen treats.

The term parlor evokes the old-fashioned sitting rooms where such establishments invited customers to linger over their desserts, and many modern ice cream parlors cultivate this nostalgic atmosphere with vintage decor.

We stopped at the ice cream parlor after the movie.
