"The owner, whose name is indeed Mike, left a career in accounting to churn ice cream in the aughts, and the shop’s been a Nashville staple ever since. While you can find Mike’s scoops at Sip Cafe in Inglewood, his Downtown shop on the riverfront serves classic milkshakes, sundaes, and seasonal goodies like peach iced tea ice cream and orange creamsicle floats. But what we particularly love are the throwback ice cream concoctions. Egg cream sodas, malts, and floats are alive and well at Mike’s, and hit the spot after a blistering day on Broadway." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
