ice cream shops

Frozen dessert vendors

Ice cream shops are retail establishments that sell ice cream and related frozen desserts, typically offering multiple flavors for purchase by the scoop, cone, or cup.

They range from local parlors to national chains.

The term usually implies a casual, walk-in business rather than a full-service restaurant: Let's stop at the ice cream shop on the way home.
