Strickland's

Nothing cools down the warm Akron summers quite like a banana frozen custard from Strickland's. Seriously, I am not a banana kind of guy, but I am telling you that if you are lucky enough to pass by Strickland's on a day that one of their four always changing flavors happens to be banana, than you are in for a real treat. Strickland's carries chocolate and vanilla (both are very very good) every day, but always has 2 other flavors in stock that change every few days. Some other flavors that are worth the visit if they're carrying it on that day are: Oreo (life changing...I promise.), cotton candy, and fresh strawberry (FRESH is an understatement). Enjoy!

With his formula perfected, Bill turned his attention to developing an ice cream machine (called a "batch freezer") that would quickly freeze the ice cream, while limiting the air whipped into the product. The result is Stricklands' award-winning ice cream, frozen custard, yogurt and sorbet. “
