These days, your local supermarket, bodega, and gas station all have freezers filled with ice cream sandwiches in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. Despite those delicious variations, we still love the traditional ice cream sandwich—and not all are created (or taste) equal. So which one do we love the best? We decided to find out.
To find our favorites, we tasted 12 nationally available old-school-style ice cream sandwiches (including a few dairy-free options). We specifically looked at ones that could be found easily in stores, because when you want an ice cream sandwich, you probably want it right away.
Ultimately, we discovered that even if someone handed us the worst ice cream sandwich, we’d still eat it. But here’s the ice cream we’d scream for the loudest (grouped by dairy and non-dairy options).
