The Must-Do List: Buy a Scoop at Mason's Creamery

The mad scientists behind this Ohio City ice cream shop churn out inventive flavors such as Vietnamese coffee, vanilla lavender and caramel macchiato using milk from Guernsey cows making each flavor creamier and full-bodied. While rookies might opt for a scoop or two on a cone, play it like a pro with a churro ice cream sandwich, egg waffle bowl or macaron ice cream sandwich. Bonus: If being experts in ice cream weren’t enough, the dynamic duo also makes spot-on pork and vegetarian ramen that they sell during monthly pop-ups. 4401 Bridge Ave., Cleveland, 216-245-8942, masonscreamery.com
