Best Gelato in Hazelwood

"Missouri’s very own award-winning ice cream parlour for adults, Fountain on Locust serves a variety of homemade café-style grub dishes, but what really draws in the crowds are the retro desserts and drinks. The ice cream martini is the most delicious cocktail imaginable, and the champagne floats will reassure you that desserts aren’t just for kids. Food and drinks aside, the quirky restaurant is also famed for the hand-painted art deco interior that surrounds the entire eatery."

"The Fountain on Locust is the place to go if you're looking for both dinner and desert. Their food menu spans a wide range and features delectable dinner items like kale cups, "grown-up" grilled cheese, and decked out, cheesy roast beef sandwiches. The true star of the show, however, is the ice cream menu."

"And no place is more famous for frozen custard than Ted Drewes. There are two locations in the city that have been serving up sweet treats for more than 80 years. The Chippewa location is located along historic Route 66 and is open much of the year, while the South Grand Boulevard location is open from mid-May through late August."

"Tennis champion Ted Drewes Sr. opened his first frozen custard store in Florida in 1929. The business has been selling frozen custard for over 80 years and Christmas trees for over 50 years. Their menu includes malts, shakes, sundaes, floats, and ice cream sodas."

"A trip to Crown Candy Kitchen is as close to time traveling as you can get without having to worry about parallel dimensions or screwing up history. This Old North luncheonette opened in 1913 and they make their own candy, have a real soda fountain, and serve sandwiches that your grandparents grew up with. But what they’re best known for is their BLT, which comes with 14 slices of bacon and might make you reconsider some of your decisions."

"The oldest soda shop in the city, Crown Candy Kitchen is in a transitional neighborhood about 10 minutes north of downtown. The original wooden booths offer the only seating so there’s not much room, but if it’s crowded you can place to-go orders at the counter. We stopped in for shakes after a day at the City Museum but they also serve sandwiches including their famous, enormous BLT."

"I think the picture featured above speaks for itself, that bacon load is ridiculous. Check out this retro soda fountain atmosphere and wash down the monster with one of their signature malts."

"Clementine’s knocked everyone’s socks off when they introduced St. Louis to “handcrafted small batch” ice cream, using only the finest natural ingredients. They call their ice cream Naughty and Nice because they have a selection of boozy ice creams–but their ice cream shop is totally family friendly. Their first location is amazingly TINY, so I suggest heading to their newest location in South Hampton at 4715 Mackland."

"Gelateria Del Leone is a comfortable coffeehouse/gelateria/bakery on South Grand. The bold red store front draws people in from the neighborhood and entices them to try their traditional Italian coffees and gelatos. When I went, I was really surprised as to how welcoming and warm the inside of the store was."

"Enjoy casual fare including lunch options and snacks crafted with creativity in our quick-service cafe. Hours are 10am – 4pm Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday and Sunday, and 10am – 8pm on Friday. The Cafe MenuDownload File"

"Honestly, having the opportunity to stop in Velvet freeze was so nostalgic for me!. This place has been around longer than I have. While many may refer to..."

"Up next on the best places to get ice cream: Ices Plain and Fancy. This place is a true surprise. Ices uses liquid nitrogen to churn their ice cream right in front of your eyes."

"Carryout: Yes (walk-up window) | Curbside pickup: Yes | Delivery: No. Ices Plain & Fancy, 2256 S. 39th St., Shaw, St. Louis, Missouri, 314.601.3604, icesplainandfancy.com"

"The words "Hot Fried Chicken Restaurant" may not sound like the most appetizing idea to a vegetarian, but if you look a little closer at the menu, you will find a Hot Fried MOFU Biscuit that is just as delicious and comforting as its meaty alternative. Finally, a southern restaurant where you can eat more than just the sides. Image from WikiCommons"

"With all of the fried chicken places popping up over the last couple of years throughout the city, you might be a little skeptical of this choice but the chicken served here is solid, even daydream worthy. The heat levels vary from original to cluckin hot and they do not take those levels lightly, even the mild is "hotter than you think."

"The Hill's Anthonino's Taverna, located at 2225 MacKlind Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the Greek and Italian spot, which offers pizza and more, 4.5 stars out of 838 reviews."

"Deep frying the ravioli not only makes them more addicting, but also turns them into a finger food because forks and knives just get in the way."

"Oasis Grill offers one of the most creative breakfasts in North St. Louis: the Oasis Seafood Grits. These creamy, four-cheese grits are topped with shrimp, lobster, crab and garlic; you can even add bacon or extra seafood for an upcharge. If that sounds a like too much for you, go for some of the signature Oasis waffles or a sandwich from the lunch menu, like the Best Damn Crabcake or the crabcake BLT."
