Ice Cream Shops in Ogallala

“After our unintentionally hilarious dinner experience at Tres Margaritas, we decided dessert was necessary for emotional recovery purposes, so we went searching for ice cream.

Google led us to what appeared to be… a gas station.

At first, I honestly thought Google had finally given up on us after six weeks of road-tripping. I walked inside a little suspicious and confused, wondering if maybe the “ice cream shop” existed only spiritually. But then, tucked inside the convenience store area, there it was: a surprisingly impressive little ice cream counter with a ton of flavors.

My husband ordered the salted turtle flavor, and I got a split scoop with chocolate peanut butter and another caramel-and-chocolate flavor that I unfortunately cannot fully remember because apparently I was too busy enjoying it.

And honestly? The ice cream was excellent.

Creamy, rich, flavorful, and exactly what we needed at the end of a long day on the road. We ended up sitting in the car eating our ice cream in the gas station parking lot like two exhausted travelers who had completely surrendered to the road-trip lifestyle.

Somehow, it was perfect.

There is something wonderfully peculiar and charming about Ogallala. One minute you are having an accidental comedy routine at dinner, and the next you are discovering genuinely good ice cream hidden inside a gas station convenience store.

Road trips are weird like that.“

“Went there Friday at about 5pm. The gentleman that took our order was friendly and funny. He also brought our food out and was cleaning tables in the dining area. Food was hot and fresh and made to order. The staff was very friendly.
The only reason for not 5 stars, the bathrooms were disgusting and the floors needed some attention.“
