"Ever since it gained notoriety for a cicada ice cream flavor during a wave of insects in the summer of 2011, Sparky’s has established itself as a classic for Columbians. Walk in and find an eclectic mix of wall-to-wall decorations; the owner likes to buy paintings at art sales and off websites, so there’s no shortage of inexplicable art to admire as you enjoy your cone. The shop often rotates its unique flavors, but a few favorites do stick around. Look out for the Oreo Speedwagon." - Chloe Konrad
