Ice cream shop · Stillwater

"Nelson’s has built its reputation on almost comically large servings of Kemps ice cream. The shop first opened in Stillwater in 1923 as Seven Corners grocery store — in the ‘60s, it sold hefty two-scoop ice cream cones for just 10 cents. Decades later, Nelson’s is still known for its generous servings. A “child” size will buy you a towering cone of black licorice chip, moose tracks, or Superman ice cream." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
