Since July is National Ice Cream Month, we thought we would find out where Delawareans like to go for their favorite scoop.

We took to Facebook and simply asked, "Where Do You Go In Delaware For Your Favorite Ice Cream?"  The response was pretty good.  So, why not put a list together to let others know where the locals like to go?   We promise we won't tell too many people.  Wink, wink.  Long lines are no fun when you have a hankering for something sweet.

There were plenty of local shops mentioned in the comments.  Delawareans certainly take their Ice Cream seriously, and not just during National Ice Cream Month.

According to National Calendar Day,  July is National Ice Cream Month.  It makes perfect sense.  July is most definitely one of the hottest months of the year across the country.

Some fun ice cream facts:

We definitely have some clear local favorites here in Delaware.  Amongst the many, many responses, these locations were shown some love, so we didn't want to leave them out.   Tre Sorelle Docle, Rita's, Vanderwende Farm Creamery, Wawa, Charcoal Pit, Uncle Mike's Ice Cream and Water Ice, Friendly's and the Creamery at St. George's.
