Sweet Summer Treats in Lynchburg

Head to MayLynn's Creamery

By Sandy Wallace July 1, 2016
Whether you prefer shaved ice, ice cream, frozen yogurt, smoothies or a combination, there are lots of places to enjoy a sweet summer treat in our area.

This week's pick is MayLynn's Creamery, located at 4925 Boonsboro Road in the Boonsboro Shopping Center. You may also find MayLynn's wherever you find food trucks.

Enjoy chocolate, vanilla or swirl soft-serve ice cream in a cup or a cone. Add a little variety with a dipper (ice cream dipped in a hard candy shell), roller (ice cream rolled in a tasty topping), mixer (ice cream and your favorite topping all mixed up), shaker (milk shake), or stacker (like a sundae, but stacked). Summertime is just the right time for something sweet from MayLynn's Creamery.
