Ice Cream for Hot Days: Check out Golly G's!

The temperature seems to be rising a little more every day this week, and as we hit heat advisories in Clarksville, it's important to stay cool. Start up the sprinkler, jump in the pool, and get yourself a scoop of ice cream! If you're lacking ideas of where to go for a sweet treat, take my advice and go to Golly G's Coffee, Ice Cream, and Sweets! This local growing chain currently only has three locations within Tennessee-- Sango, Pleasantview, and Greenbriar. The Sango location is (obviously) the one I've attended most, but all of these shops have a certain charm about them reminiscent of an older ice cream parlor. 

Golly G's is the place to go for ice cream for a simple reason: it's made in-house. No generic ice cream in this little restaurant! While there are the staple flavors of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint chip, there are also more creative flavors. Currently, at the Sango location, there are flavors such as blackberry cobbler, oreo speedwagon, whopper, and (my favorite) peanut butter honey. You get any flavor of the ice cream made into a banana split, a hot fudge sundae, a milkshake, or a shake with a shot-- or a milkshake with expresso. Though of course, there are other sweets including the famous Golly G's Giant Cinnamon Roll. If you have a real sweet tooth, order the Golly G: one of the famous giant cinnamon rolls topped with sweet buttercream ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce.

While there are some lunch options-- and of course, coffee-- the ice cream is to die for. If you're needing a cold, sweet treat? Head to Golly G's at 2622 Madison St!
