Here's The Scoop On Where To Get The Best Ice Cream In Missouri

Ice cream always tastes better when you buy it from an ice cream shop rather than purchasing it pre-packaged in a store.

If you've been on the hunt for the best ice cream (frozen custard and gelato included) in your area, Food & Wine curated a list of where to find the best ice cream in each state.

So, where in Missouri can you find the best ice cream?

It can be found at The Crown Candy Kitchen in St. Louis.

Here is what the report had to say about The Crown Candy Kitchen:

"There are so many things that are gone now, here in St. Louis, which holds less than half its peak population, a precipitous decline that began in the 1960s and continues today. But there is so much else that is still here, digging in its heels and saying, no thank you, we'll stay. The Crown Candy Kitchen, a century-old soda fountain in Old North St. Louis, is most certainly one of those treasures, a Norman Rockwell-level bit of Americana and a quick trip away from modern day life to some kind of fantasy land where they're still mixing batches of ice cream in the antique copper kettle, where people come for chocolate malts and BLTs, where couples on big dates share banana splits. Best of all, the place is owned and operated by the third generation of the Karandzieff family -- with, they'll tell you, a little bit of help from the fourth."
