THE spot for banana ice cream in STL

It’s pretty rare that an ice cream shop will have one of their selections significantly outshine everything else they have to offer, but this is exactly what I experienced at A Spoonful of Sugar. And what’s even crazier is that I don’t even like bananas, but I was going bananas over their banana pudding ice cream. Their banana ice cream is so good that I could realistically see a Planet of the Apes situation go on at a Spoonful of Sugar, where apes learn about how good the banana pudding ice cream is and perform a hostile takeover.

Their other ice cream flavors were still good, but they didn’t leave a lasting impression on me like their banana pudding ice cream. But other than being light on toppings in their other flavors, I don’t really have major constructive criticism to offer.

If you want to have ice cream, you can try anything at a Spoonful of Sugar. But if you want to have a lasting experience, you’ve got to get the banana pudding ice cream.

A Spoonful of Sugar is the kind of place you hope to stumble upon—and then tell everyone about. The ice cream here is truly the star: rich, velvety, and bursting with flavor. Every scoop feels handcrafted with love, from the classics to the rotating seasonal flavors that keep you coming back.

And while the ice cream takes center stage, the home-baked cookies deserve a standing ovation. Soft, buttery, and made fresh daily, they’re the perfect sidekick—or better yet, the base for a next-level ice cream sandwich.

The service is just as sweet. The team is warm, patient, and genuinely excited to help you find your new favorite combo.
