On this page: Scoops Homemade Ice Cream, Lloyd's of Avalon, Sailor's Delight Ice Cream Shop, Catalina Cones and Seaside Sweets.
Avalon's only house-made ice cream and gelato — two dozen rotating flavors (Rose Petal Raspberry, Kahului Espresso) that filled the void Big Olaf's left behind. Doubles as the town's Starbucks counter from 7am.

The candy institution on Crescent — watch the taffy puller work the window like it has for generations, then leave with a box of saltwater taffy and a caramel apple. Nobody's vacation is complete without it.

Scoops Wisconsin's Chocolate Shoppe ice cream a few doors down from the pier. Smaller and less mobbed than Scoops, and locals will tell you the quality is a notch up.
Hours: Sun 11am–7pm · Mon 11am–7pm · Tue closed · Wed 11:30am–7pm · Thu 2pm–7pm · Fri 11am–9pm · Sat 11am–9pm
Tucked over toward Pebbly Beach, this little window scoops Santa Barbara's McConnell's alongside soft serve and hot fudge. Off the main drag, so a hidden-gem stop rather than an impulse cone.
Hours: Sun 11am–6pm · Mon 11am–5pm · Tue closed · Wed closed · Thu closed · Fri 12pm–6pm · Sat 11am–6pm
Sweets with a Mexican twist — 40-plus flavors of handmade La Michoacana paletas and ice cream plus the island's biggest wall of jumbo and retro Mexican candy. A fun, cheaper alternative to the ice-cream lines.
Hours: Sun 11am–9pm · Mon 11am–9pm · Tue 11am–9pm · Wed 11am–9pm · Thu 11am–9pm · Fri 11am–9pm · Sat 11am–9pm
