All over the state, there are dozens of authentic and delicious ice cream shops unique to Utah. Here is a list of five great places to get a cone.

Pace’s Dairy Ann, a family-owned fast food restaurant, has been around since 1957, and has stayed true to the decade of its time. Not only do they offer burgers and other classic fast foods, but they also serve specialized ice cream treats.
Some of their ice cream cone menu items include the Derby, a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate, the Nutty Buddy, a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanuts, and a traditional vanilla, chocolate or twist ice cream cone.
