With temperatures in triple digits, who wouldn't be glad for a sweet frozen snack? As it turns out, the best places to get them in Yuba City aren't all ice cream all the time.
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the coolest spots for icy desserts in Yuba City, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to venture to beat the heat.
1. Brock's Ice Cream
Topping the list is Brock's Ice Cream. Located at 990 Gray Ave., the ice cream parlor is the highest rated in Yuba City, boasting 4.5 stars out of 162 reviews on Yelp.
All of Brock's myriad ice cream choices are made in-house, including such flavors as fresh banana and mountain blackberry. Yelpers also love its good value: the "single" scoop is two scoops of ice cream, while the "double" is four.
2. Top This Frozen Desserts And Treats
Next up is Top This Frozen Desserts and Treats, situated at 540 Bogue Road, Suite W2B. With five stars out of 40 reviews on Yelp, it has proven to be a local favorite for such innovative offerings as the stuffed cotton candy: a choice of ice cream wrapped in a layer of fluffy cotton candy.
The joint is also beloved of Yelpers for its friendly service and ice cream sandwiches made with doughnuts, muffins, brownies and cookies.
3. JanYo Frozen Yogurt
JanYo Frozen Yogurt, located at 1520 Butte House Road, Suite 500, is another top choice. Yelpers give the fro-yo spot 4.5 stars out of 79 reviews for its friendly service, multitude of flavors and unusual toppings — like apple pie filling.
4. Sawyer's Sweet Spot
Sawyer's Sweet Spot, a candy store that offers shaved ice and ice cream along with its traditional sweets, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 23 Yelp reviews. Reviewers praise the generous portions and friendly service of the family-owned spot. Head over to 725 Plumas St. to see for yourself.
