Craving a sweet treat? There's no better way to cool down on a warm summer day than a scoop (or two!) of your favorite ice cream. Whether you prefer a tried-and-true classic flavor like chocolate or vanilla or an overloaded option piled high with toppings like nuts or caramel, in a bowl or in a cone, there are plenty of incredible creameries and shops around the Show-Me State that are worth a visit.

Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best ice cream parlor" in every state, the shops that have become a go-to for customers with a sweet-tooth or those looking to beat the heat with a frozen treat.

According to the site, the best ice cream parlor in all of Missouri is Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery. This St. Louis shop offers "innovative" flavors that draw customers to any and all locations around the city. Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery has several locations. Find your nearest one by visiting the website.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about this popular spot:

"The brainchild of Tamara Keefe, who as a kid couldn't afford weekly trips to the ice cream parlor like her friends, Clementine's has six locations in the greater St. Louis area. Tamara's love of ice cream developed when her mother brought the family a $2 hand-crank ice cream maker. Today she's known for her innovative flavors and vegan versions. Menu highlights include carrot cake and gooey butter cake ice cream."
