    A Buck's fan since he was an Ag major in the 50s!

    My dad ate Buck's ice cream back when he went to Mizzou in the 50s...ag majors made their own ice cream on campus. It was closed when I went to Mizzou in the 80s...reopened the year after I left. At any rate, we rediscovered Buck's ice cream on a recent day trip...go for the Tiger Stripe. Great-tasting rich vanilla flavor. Generous portions at a great price. I think I have seen Tiger Stripe at a St. Louis grocery store...but can't remember which one! Anyone know? Because now I have to have some more!!!!

    Super underrated ice cream place on campus. Hours are a little obscure but the ice cream is made by food science students and it tastes really good! The inside is very historical feeling and has some cool signs about the history of Buck's. The tiger stripe ice cream is a must try here. I think there cash only if I recall but there prices were really good!

    The Tiger Stripe ice cream was the first treat I had freshman year! It's delicious and will always remind me of The Columns.

    I love sparky's! It is one of the best ice cream shops in Columbia in my opinion. There are always…read morenew flavors to try and they make their ice cream in house! The ice cream is creamy and smooth and not too sweet. There is always a flavor for everyone to try! The workers are also always super kind and attentive. There are a few tables and chairs inside to enjoy your ice cream while looking at all the fun paintings on the walls. I recommend checking this place out if you are in downtown Columbia!

    This ice cream shop tucked away is a fun escape. The fun and colorful artwork and vibe of the shop…read moreis an instant mood boost. The shop offers homemade classics with new twists. For example they had a cookies and cream flavor unlike the common recipe and uses chocolate ice base. I also tried the London Fog tea flavor which was unique and very bright on the tongue. There were a few dairy free and vegan options but not many. You can check their facebook or call ahead to see those selections if needed. The shop offers ice cream scoops in all sizes and even kids eat free with an adult purchase. There is seating in the shop and outside for good weather days. It is pretty accessible as the front door and bathroom doors were light to pull open. The view to see the ice cream selection was at a reasonable height for folks in wheelchairs and kids to see everything well. This shop is very LGBTQ friendly and offers as a great space to gather for everyone who wants to enjoy a sweet treat.
