Alabama’s essential ice cream flavor? We know a place. 🍊🍍

Trowbridge’s Orange Pineapple ice cream in downtown Florence was just named Alabama’s pick in Food & Wine’s “The Essential Ice Cream Flavors for All 50 States,” and we can’t think of a sweeter way to represent The Shoals.

For more than 100 years, Trowbridge’s has been a local favorite, serving up scoops, sandwiches, and plenty of memories in the heart of Florence. Now their iconic Orange Pineapple is getting national recognition, and we’re here for it. Consider this your sign to stop by for a cone. 🍦
