'''Ice cream parlors''' (or parlours) are places that sell [[ice cream]], [[gelato]], [[sorbet]], and [[frozen yogurt]] to consumers. Ice cream is typically sold as regular ice cream (also called hard-packed ice cream), gelato, and [[soft serve]], which is usually dispensed by a machine with a limited number of flavors (e.g., [[chocolate]], [[vanilla]], and "twist", a mix of the two). It is customary for ice cream parlors to offer several flavors and items. |

While the origins of ice cream are often debated, most scholars trace the first ice cream parlor back to France in the 17th century. In 1686, Francesco Procopio del Coltelli opened Paris' first café. The cafe, named II Procope after its Sicilian founder, introduced gelato to the French public. The dessert was served to its elite guests in small porcelain bowls.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Avey|first1=Tori|title=Explore The Delicious History of Ice Cream|url=http://www.pbs.org/food/the-history-kitchen/explore-the-delicious-history-of-ice-cream/|website=The History Kitchen|publisher=PBS|accessdate=19 February 2015}}</ref> |

Until 1800, ice cream remained a rare and exotic dessert enjoyed mostly by the elite. The introduction of insulated ice houses in 1800, the first ice cream factory in Pennsylvania in 1851, and industrial refrigeration in the 1870s made manufacturing and storing ice cream much simpler.<ref>{{cite web|title=The History of Ice Cream|url=http://www.idfa.org/news-views/media-kits/ice-cream/the-history-of-ice-cream|publisher=International Dairy Foods Association|accessdate=19 February 2015}}</ref> The first ice cream factory was built by Jacob Fussell, a milk dealer who bought dairy products from Philadelphia farmers and sold them in Baltimore. The mass production of ice cream cut the product's cost significantly, making it more popular and more affordable for people of lower classes. |

[[Sorbet]] is a frozen treat made from fruit, syrup and ice. No milk or cream is used. [[Frozen yogurt]] is a common low-fat ice cream alternative with a smooth texture that is similar to soft serve ice cream. All of these frozen products may be sold in [[ice cream cone]]s, cups, [[sundae]]s, and [[milkshake]]s. Some parlors may also sell [[ice cream cake]]s, [[ice cream bar]]s and other pre-packaged frozen sweets. In addition to [[frozen dessert]] products, some modern ice cream parlors also sell a variety of hot [[fast food]]s. |

Because ice cream parlors are located throughout the world, there are both small, local [[Franchising|franchise]]s as well as large, global enterprises. Some of the most notable large, global ice cream parlors include [[Baskin-Robbins]], [[Ben & Jerry's]], [[Bruster's Ice Cream]], [[Carvel (restaurant)|Carvel]], [[Cold Stone Creamery]], [[Dairy Queen]], [[Dippin' Dots]], [[Friendly's]], [[Häagen-Dazs]], and [[MaggieMoo's Ice Cream and Treatery]]. [[Yogurtland]], [[Yogen Früz]], and [[Sweet Frog|sweetFrog]] are notable frozen yogurt parlors. |

Just as the size, style, and selection within each ice cream parlor may differ, so may its notoriety. Each July in the United States, in honor of [[National Ice Cream Month]], several prominent publications rank the popularity of ice cream parlors throughout the United States. In 2014, Travel + Leisure, National Geographic, Business Insider, Food & Wine, and TripAdvisor published their top ranked ice cream parlors. |
