Visiting an old-school ice cream parlor is a sweet treat for folks in Alabama, and the state has plenty of places to settle in with a double scoop, hot fudge sundae, creamy shake or scrumptious banana split.

We all have our favorites, of course, and now Southern Living has put a cherry on top of the already glowing reputations of two ice cream shops in Alabama. Toomer’s Drugs in Auburn and Trowbridge’s Ice Cream & Sandwich Shop in Florence were named by the magazine in a recent list of “The South’s Most Iconic Old-School Ice Cream Shops.”

Ten ice cream shops in nine states received a thumb’s up from Southern Living for their food, atmosphere and longevity. Although the shops weren’t ranked, Alabama was the only state to have two traditional ice cream parlors on the list. We’re happy about that, and ready to pay another visit to Toomer’s or Trowbridge’s, both longtime favorites with ice cream lovers here.

“Toomer’s Drugs, Auburn University, and the Auburn Tigers football team have been entwined since the very beginning— far before the tradition of rolling the trees at Toomer’s Corner began in the 1960s,” Southern Living said. “First opened as a drugstore by Sheldon Toomer, a halfback on Auburn’s very first football team, the famous gathering place has been around since 1896. Students, locals, and even fans of opposing teams have made a habit of stopping by for the spot’s famous fresh-squeezed lemonade and ice cream in a charming café where the soda fountain spirit is alive and well and the walls are lined with black-and-white photos of shop’s long history.”

When AL.com visited Toomer’s Drugs in November — we were focusing mostly on the famous lemonade — it was clear that ice cream is a marquee item at the shop, 100 N. College St. A menu posted above the counter highlighted flavors such as Smoky Mountain Fudge, Birthday Cake, Moose Tracks, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and more. And let’s not forget the toppings, which included Oreos, caramel, hot fudge and Reese’s Pieces.

Southern Living also offered plenty of kudos to Trowbridge’s, an institution at 316 N. Court St. in Florence.

“Alabama’s oldest ice cream shop dates to 1918 when Texas dairy farmer Paul Trowbridge fell in love with the tiny community of Florence, Alabama on his way to a dairy convention in North Carolina,” the magazine said. “What else was a dairy farmer to do but move his family and open an ice cream shop? Today, Trowbridge’s Creamery is owned by Paul’s grandson, Don Trowbridge, and his great granddaughter Pam. Complete with mint-green stools around a soda fountain, and old Coca-Cola signs covering the walls, Trowbridge’s has retained all its old-school charm. Stop in for a scoop of the shop’s signature flavor of orange-pineapple.”

Outside of Alabama, Southern Living touted ice cream shops such as La King’s Confectionery and Ice Cream Parlour in Galveston, Texas; Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain in Corinth, Mississippi; and Leopold’s Ice Cream in Savannah, Georgia. “These ice cream shops were picked by the editors of Southern Living who report, research, and visit shops across the South,” the magazine said. (See the full list from Southern Living here.)

Trowbridge’s made another opinionated list from the magazine in January, named as one of “The South’s Most Legendary Restaurants.”
