The Great Summer Ice Cream Debate
By TheAngelForever | June 17, 2011
The summer is here and most, if not all of the seasonal ice cream locations in our area are open. This often means people in our area debating which location has the best soft serve and/or hard homemade treats. The reality is that almost any ice cream is good in my book on a warm summer day.
The other day, we met Nana and Papa to do some shopping. Afterwards, they asked us to go with them to their favorite local ice cream location. We had not been there in quite some time, so that was our lunch for the day.
This special meal of sorts gave me the idea for today’s Aloha Friday question:
Do you prefer soft serve or hard ice cream in the summer time? Of course, I would also love to know your flavor preference and if you must have it in a cone or dish.
Pssst . . . be sure to stop by my Cars 2 giveaway to enter for a chance to win some great items.

Ha!!!
I do not care!
Either works for me, but looking at the pics, I would totally take the hard one!
As for cone or dish… Depends on the mood, but normally a cone!!! WAFFLE cone even better!

I like soft serve any time of the year! Any time of day, really. I just love ice cream! And, any flavor works, too! haha.

I love any and all ice cream (cookie doh is one of my favorites) and I like either way.

I’m actually not a big ice cream fan. But, if I had to choose I would pick hard ice cream.

Not a huge ice cream fan but my preference would be soft serve in a bowl. Probably vanilla with butterscotch topping.

Oh man, ice cream!! My favorite subject. LOL I’m not picky when it comes to ice cream, but I do prefer hard over soft serve.
ANYTHING chocolate will do.
In a cone.
Now I want ice cream. Lol Happy Friday!

Now I’m drooling.
I prefer hard ice cream but will take the soft serve too!

My favorite is Pralines & Cream on a cone. I like ice cream either way, but prefer soft serve when it’s a sundae. Your photos take me back to when my family use to go for ice cream after church. Those were the good days! Baskin-Robbins doesn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling that Joy’s ice cream shop did.

Homemade preferably and in a cone. As for flavors, I adore peanut butter ice cream. Of course anything chocolate is good too!

Like sundaes..double chocolate and chocolate chip ice cream with peanut butter and marshmallow toppings and jimmies.
June 17th, 2011 at 9:23 am
I am a soft serve girl but only when covered in toppings for a sundae

I might get in trouble for this one but I think soft-serve has no real flavor, I call it “air flavor.”
I am a hard cream girl. We have a dairy by us that makes the BEST ice cream, my favorite being “Salted Caramel”. It is like eating heaven.

Either works for me, though if I had to choose, I’d probably go with soft serve, since it’s easier to eat without risk of accidentally pushing the ice cream onto the ground while eating it.

The hard stuff every time – that soft whippy stuff is just for amateurs ;-). My local ice-creamerie does some amazing flavour combinations. Their honey and sesame is superb. In a cone is always best.
June 18th, 2011 at 12:11 am
depends on my mood, but I love a good soft serve in a cone- swirl of van and choc is best! And I do like the hard, hand dipped mint chocolate chip best.

Definitely hard ice cream on a hot summer day. A cone is fine but there is nothing like filling up a big bowl and letting it sit at room temperature for five or ten minutes so it softens up a bit (but it’s totally different from soft serve!).

My favorite ice cream . . . Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia . . . only comes in the harder version. So I guess I would have to say hard.

Ice Cream is my biggest weakness!! At the market it’s Haagen Daz Vanilla or Butter Pecan. Cold Stone would be strawberry! I can go for a vanilla soft serve too and of course…Dole Whip at Disneyland and yes, I consider it ice cream! ;D

Mmmmm! Ice Cream! I like both kinds, but I love all the flavors you can get with hand dipped (hard) ice cream!
We eat it all year long – even in the winter when temps get -30! I think that’s when we crave it the most! lol
June 19th, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Soft serve for summer! And, it has to be on a cone. There’s just something about a cold cone of ice cream and trying to keep up with it while it starts to melt that just screams summer to me.
I can curl up with a bowl of hand-scooped ice cream any day. I can’t get soft serve in a cone in the winter months.
And now I want to go out for a cone!
