Let’s just be real for a minute. Popsicles are not my favorite dessert, but after having their coconut cream dipped in chocolate, I can convert to a popsicle lover. For real, I will crave this thing on a daily basis after I eat one.

Be sure to stop by there if you are in 12th South! :)

MY FAVORITE!! Cool off on the hot Nashville summer days with the famous Mike's Ice Cream. Choose from a classic ice cream cone, a creamy blended milk shake or a frozen smoothie! This place will have you coming back for more, and it is worth the wait in line!

Everything is gluten fee and vegan!! That is the key to my heart! I love enjoying life's simple pleasures while still feeling like I am being somewhat healthy! 

Coming from me, this is the highest compliment. Their chocolate donut tastes the most like a gas station donut out of any gluten free donut that I have had. (Gas station donuts are the only thing that I miss being gluten free)

If you can get your hands on that boston cream pie cake, get one for both of us!!
