If you’re anything like us, nothing caps off a delicious meal or a long workday like a sweet treat. JCMO hosts a variety of options to satisfy your sweet tooth, whether you’re a cake person, an ice cream lover, or a person who just needs a lil cookie as a pick-me-up.

Ice Cream Factory

Serving up scoops in a renovated service station, Ice Cream Factory will make your taste buds sing. The shop operates under the motto that ice cream makes you happy (accurate, if you ask us) and offers a vast variety of unique flavors. Go classic with caramel praline, tap into your Missouri roots with gooey butter cake, or get wild with Tiger King.

YoYums

A cup of flavorful frozen yogurt topped with tons (or just a few) of toppings of our choosing? Yes, please! YoYums lets you create a masterpiece with an assortment of flavors and toppings galore. Might we suggest cheesecake yogurt with graham crackers and cherries?

Central Dairy

No dessert trail (or visit to JCMO) is complete without a stop at Central Dairy. The nostalgic ice cream parlor offers an extensive list of flavors to top your waffle cone or if you'd like, you can dive into a sundae special or go all-in with a banana split.
