The best bakeries & sweet shops in Ironton

“Whether you're herding kids after a game or just craving something extra, Arctic Roll House is the Tri-State's only rolled ice cream show, spinning ribbons right in front of you inside Rams Dairy Bar in Worthington. Build-your-own with unlimited mix-ins, or go specialty like Cookie Monster or Banana Split.”

“L & J Coal Grove Inc turns the usual cone into an event with artisanal flavors and inventive sundaes, all crafted with real care. They specialize in custom creations for everything from a solo treat to your next big gathering, and the friendly crew makes every visit feel special.”

“Better Than Flours is a gluten-free bakery turning out croissants, cookies, cupcakes and biscuits that somehow taste like the gluten kind. Started by a local celiac who dialed in the recipes, it’s the spot to grab treats for mixed-diet households... or anyone who just likes really good bakes.”

“The Red Bow Bakery is one of those local spots that knocks out the kind of baked goods you bring to the office and suddenly everyone likes you more. Keep them on your radar for birthdays, ballgames, or when that Ironton sweet tooth hits on a Tuesday.”
