Salt Lake friends, we need your help: who has the best local ice cream in Utah?

June is National Dairy Month, summer is here, and we’re making a local ice cream list based on YOUR recommendations.

Do you have a favorite spot for ice cream, gelato, shakes, or frozen treats around Salt Lake City, Murray, Holladay, Sugar House, Sandy, Draper, Ogden, or nearby areas?

Drop your vote in the comments and tell us:
1. Your favorite ice cream place
2. What we should order there
3. Who you’d take with you

We shared a few local names to get the conversation started. ⬇️

We’ll gather the answers and share a community favorites list soon!
Because supporting local businesses is always sweeter when we do it together.

Looking for a new local food stop in Sugar House?
The Kolache Place is now open at 1751 S. 1100 East in Salt Lake City, bringing Texas-Czech flavor to one of our favorite Salt Lake neighborhoods.

Formerly known as Hruska’s Kolaches, this takeout-only spot has moved into the former Brownies! Brownies! Brownies! building. There’s also a patio outside with tables, which makes it a fun little grab-and-go stop when you’re out exploring Sugar House.

We especially love the details: the Hruska family is from Texas, so you’ll see sweet little Texas touches in the decor. And since “Hruska” means “pear” in Czech, the pear theme shows up throughout the space, including the logo. 🍐

This is exactly why we love sharing local business updates around Salt Lake City, Sugar House, Millcreek, Holladay, and surrounding areas. Local businesses help give every neighborhood its personality, and we’re always cheering for them. 💚

Have you been yet? What kolache flavor should we try first?

Salt Lake City dog parks and dog-friendly neighborhoods are a big deal for buyers who want a home that works for every member of the family, paws included!.

Early summer is one of the best times to get outside with your dog, but it’s also the season to be extra careful with heat.

A few simple dog park tips:
💚Go early in the morning or later in the evening
💚Bring water and a collapsible bowl
💚Check pavement before walking
💚Choose grass and shaded areas when possible
💚Watch for heavy panting, slowing down, or signs of overheating
💚 Know which parks allow off-leash time

Salt Lake City notes that dogs must generally be leashed unless they’re in designated off-leash areas, and Pioneer Park’s dog park is currently closed during renovations until winter 2026.

For a shady local option, Cottonwood Park is often loved for mature trees, grass, picnic tables, and Jordan River Parkway access.

Because honestly? Sometimes finding the right home also means finding the right walking route, dog park, patio, and neighborhood rhythm.
