When the temperature starts rising, nothing is more satisfying than ice cream. Whether you prefer chocolate or vanilla, cones or sundaes, Stark County is home to some incredible ice cream shops where you can satisfy your sweet tooth. Here are a few of the top spots our real estate agents recommend visiting this June.

• Pav's Creamery - 708 S. Main St., Canton, OH 44720
  Pav's Creamery has been a local favorite since 1969. They're known for their unique flavors, like Salted Truffle Caramel and Blueberry Cheesecake. Guests also love their Adult Shakes. The Lebowski, made with vanilla Kustard, vodka, and Kahlua, is perfect for a warm night. Pav's is now owned by the daughter of the founders, and their ice cream is still made on-site daily. If you do visit, be sure to look at some North Canton homes for sale nearby.
  
  
• Almost Heaven - 624 S. Prospect Ave., Hartville, OH 44632
  Almost Heaven serves super-premium ice cream, and they've created more than 20 of their own flavors. Dessert lovers adore the Banana Cream Pie ice cream, which is made with marshmallows and graham crackers. Another favorite is Chocolate Explosion, made with real brownie batter and fudge swirls. In addition to hard ice cream, Almost Heaven also serves Frappes, sundaes, pies, and ice cream sandwiches. If you're in the area looking at Hartville homes for sale, be sure to stop by.
  
  
• Taggarts - 1401 Fulton Rd. NW, Canton, OH 44703
