To beat the heat and "cool down" this summer in Rockford, here's where you should go for a sweet treat in town!

Lately, I've been craving ice cream every single day.  That's not even an exaggeration!  I've been waiting for Dairy Depot to open in Loves Park, but I have to wait a few more days for them to open for the season on the 23rd.

I did try Dari Ripple for my very first time a few weekends ago and, boy, it did not disappoint.  They have the cutest setup, too.  There's a beachy area you can sit and enjoy your ice cream at, plus they have pup cups!
