If you are from Vermont or have friends from Vermont, you've probably come across the term "creemee," and if not, welcome to the best part of summer. When most people think of ice cream in Vermont, they might think of Ben & Jerry's but that's really only the beginning. A creemee is basically Vermont's version of soft serve ice cream but don't try to tell us that they are the same because they definitely aren't. In fact, it is actually different (better, really) because Vermont creemees are made with a higher fat content making them creamier (hence the name).

Here are some of the 10 best places to get your creemee fix, in no particular order.

1. Village Creemee Stand - Bristol, VT

Usually I'm not a plain vanilla girl but their's is so good.

2. Shafer's - Middlebury, VT

My personal favorite is a mixed with rainbow sprinkles.

3. Goodies Snack Bar - Addison, VT

They have the biggest serving sizes here.

4. Vermont Cookie Love - North Ferrisburgh, VT

Plus they have cookies so that's a win in my book.

5. The Main Scoop - Vergennes, VT

They have so many flavors and it's right down the road from a bunch of amazing restaurants.

6. Burlington Bay Market & Cafe - Burlington, VT

You can eat this while looking over Lake Champlain, now tell me, what's better than that?

7. Rocky's NY Pizza & Ice Cream - Essex, VT

They have some bomb maple creemees here.

8. Joe's Snack Bar - Jericho, VT

Plus they have yummy fries to get before (or with!) your ice cream.

9. Dakin Farms - Ferrisburgh, VT

Dakin Farms is great for many reasons, their creemees being just one of them. My friends and I always stop in for samples on our way to Burlington.

10. Canteen Creemee Company - Waitsfield, VT

So, so many toppings to deck out your creemee.

Plus a slew of other amazing places and I'm about ready for a creemee!
