In fact, Utah ice cream makers say that nostalgia factors into why they opened their businesses and why soft serve can outlast other trends - if you can call it a trend at all. These modern businesses benefit from the drive-ins and drive-thrus - like Arctic Circle, Dairy Keen and Iceberg Drive Inn - where generations of Utahns and other Americans first tasted the signature swirled sweet. Since 2017, the year that Buzzfeed named Auntie Rae’s Dessert Island in Holladay the best soft serve in Utah and about 10 years after the frozen treat started trending across the U.S., at least three soft serve-only businesses have opened in the state: Normal Ice Cream, Spilled Milk Ice Cream & Cereal Bar and William’s Dairy Bar.Ĭloud Ninth Creamery, Ginger Street and The Churro Company also offer the airy confection in addition to other foods and desserts. The shop, named after their son, opened in May, becoming the newest addition to a small but growing market of premium soft serve businesses in Utah. Now they own and operate William’s Dairy Bar in Provo.
