The most special ice cream shop! They get so creative with the flavors and the colors and their ice cream are all natural - no food coloring! The shop is well designed with plenty of whimsy at every turn. I often order the Cookie Monster, honey lavender, churro cheesecake, dark side of the moon, or any of their collaboration flavors. read more

Was exploring the SoMa district in Little Rock and hit a dessert craving at exactly the right moment because stumbling into Loblolly was a full-on find. The space is adorable, the staff was super helpful and the whole vibe just feels homey & intentional in the best way. But they really had me the second I saw ice cream flight on the menu. Like... what?! Anyways, there was zero chance I was picking just one flavor so I went with the 6-flavor flight (they also offer a 12-flavor option!) Here's what I got: Strawberry Buttermilk- a little tangy w/ the perfect amount of sweet Honey Lavender- light floral without going full soap Bourbon Pecan- loved this one! rich, creamy, perfect Churro Cheesecake- obsessed with the pieces of cheesecake in this one! Guava Sorbet - y'all. MY FAVORITE. Refreshing guava heaven Tiramisu- a coffee-forward mocha-ey vibe Every flavor was distinct and crafted with care . Def not your typical grocery store flavors. If you're in Little Rock, especially near SoMa, do not walk past this place. Stop in & get the flight! read more

This was such an ice cream shop in downtown Little Rock. There was parking on the side of the building and plenty of seating inside. I loved their variety of unique flavors. The staff were friendly, patient and kind. The ambiance was lively and decor was bright and colorful. read more

Best ice cream in Arkansas! I've loved following Loblolly since their humble beginnings and have truly loved seeing them continue to grow and thrive. I used to live basically next door and included a walk here for ice cream as a part of many of my days back then. Now whenever my wife and I visit this is a must-visit destination. I love that they always have creative flavors like tiramisu and tres leches and also had a section of more classic flavors (my wife loves a good chocolate herself). A great family friendly spot to stop in while enjoying SoMa! read more

Hands down the best place for ice cream!! There's usually a line in the evenings (and they deserve every single customer) so be prepared to wait in line, but it is SO WORTH IT. So many different flavors, and they're all made in small batches, so it's always fresh! read more

I recently tried two varieties of Loblolly's delicious ice creams in downtown West Memphis, AR at the Groovy Greyhound Coffee & Creamery. The seasonal eggnog ice cream was so delicious that I took home a pint of the bourbon pecan (also scrumptious). I'm quite pleased that I can regularly sample this purveyor's treats far afield in eastern Arkansas! read more

I really love artisan and small batch ice cream, and Loblolly never disappoints. Every time I am in Little Rock, I make it a point to come here. I love the creativity of the flavors, and how much thought is put into them, even with local ingredients. I have never had anything bad from here. The staff have always been kind and helpful. One time, they even had some free samples of house made marshmallows. I love how they have gluten free options. It's not very often that an ice cream shop has a gluten free cone option. Of all the ice cream places I've been to, Loblolly is the best. read more

My all-time favorite ice cream shop is Jeni's (found in other major cities), which sets a high bar, but Loblolly came to play with their A game. I loved the seasonal "Sugar Plum" flavor with raspberry jam and marshmallow. So many fun and creative flavors, with attention to high quality ingredients. I will pay for well-made, intentional treats! It is bright, clean, and easily accessible on Main Street/SoMo, with a small parking lot to the left side. The staff seemed really chill and friendly. We will be back for sure, can't wait to check out more seasonal flavors! read more

My family who lives in Little Rock raved about this place. When they took me here, I knew why! Small town creamery's are the BEST! They had SO many great flavors to choose from. I got the Arkansas mud which is their take on Rocky road + some form of cake batter and it was incredible. Next time, I'm getting a flight! It's located in downtown Little Rock so parking is mostly on the street. The service was wonderful and they offered me lots of samples! read more

Amazing ice cream! I got fresh mint chip, salted caramel, and cookies and cream scoops. The salted caramel was my favorite, but cookies and cream was very fresh as well. I wasn't a fan of the mint chip. What I assume were mint leaves ruined the texture for me, and somehow tasted like pickles. But overall I would certainly recommend! read more

Very friendly and the ice cream delicious. I had the bourbon pecan and I really enjoyed it.

This is probably one of my favorite ice cream spots in Little Rock. My favorite flavors are the Arkansas mud and salted caramel. The honey lavender is also a hit with my friends, but I'm allergic to lavender and so I haven't experienced it myself. They also have flights which is nice when you're with a group and do have some indoor seating as well. It's worth the trip on a nice summer day! read more

This is my favorite ice cream place in Little Rock. I try a new flavor every time I go and have never been disappointed. They also recently got rid of artificial dyes in all of their ice cream which I am a huge fan of. The service is always fast even when there is a long line and everyone is super friendly. The location in SOMA is wonderful with indoor seating and benches outside as well. Good vibes all around. I can't wait for the Hillcrest location to open! read more

It's true-I don't go to many ice cream spots and think "that wasn't very good", so let's make that known from the start. However, I got 2scoops with a waffle cone. Somehow, I've completely forgot just how delicious waffle cones are?! Shame on me! My seemingly ordinary ice cream run reignited a long lost love, so Loblolly is getting 5stars for that. Outstanding joint! read more

After having dinner at el sur we walked a block and a half to loblolly. As usual, it was packed. The store was clean and inviting and the restroom was clean. The staff were friendly and efficient. I got a few samples of their various sorbet options and landed on a scoop of strawberry champagne and a scoop of very berry. This place never disappoints.

Loblolly never misses! A favorite in town with a ton of delicious flavors including vegan options. The servers are always friendly and fast. If there's a bit of a line, don't worry - they usually move with very quickly. The inside is very cute but pretty small. If it's a busier time, it may be best to take your ice cream to go. read more

Stopped here after dinner on the way back to the hotel. A small little place that packed a big punch of variety with flavors and options for both ice cream, sorbets, sundaes, coffees, and pastries. Staff was friendly, though they got overwhelmed quickly and we found ourselves waiting to checkout while they both handled a newly formed line and pickups from mobile delivery companies. I went with the brownie sundae, which is exactly how it sounds - one scoop and two toppings. I pointed at a dark chocolate looking flavor with marshmallow and chunks to it. One drawback would be the weird labeling - with the names all in a line not stacked on glass as they are in the case. My toppings were hot fudge and whipped cream. Overall it was good - nothing groundbreaking just a solid place. read more

The ice cream here is off the charts. Flavors big enough to excite your mouth but subtle enough that you're not sick of it. The cone is thin and crispy and perfectly sweet. The service was fantastic and the shop is cute and just brings a smile to your face as you walk in. Bright, cheerful and very welcoming. I always try to visit an ice cream shop when I travel and this spot is a winner. I would definitely go back if I'm ever back in Little Rock. read more

Delicious! There are so many dairy free options and ice cream flavors in general! The gluten free waffle cones are made in house and was the best I've ever had. Portions are generous. Flavors can be found on their website but some of the dairy free included chocolate sorbet, vanilla (coconut cream based), caramel apple sorbet, chocolate pinnacle, cosmic brownie chocolate, cookie butter and more. Ice creams are clearly marked with allergens (milk, wheat, nut, etc). I'm so glad I taste tested because the dairy free vanilla coconut shocked me! It was SO good. I ordered it on a gluten free cone and topped with the vegan dark chocolate sauce and candied pecans. My husband ordered the regular ice cream, pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie on a gluten free cone with the candied pecans on top. Hands down, best dairy free ice cream and gluten free cone. Hubby loved his too. read more

How fun is this? An actual ice cream parlor. The last time we saw one of these was on a trip to Canada. You stand in a line to order, picking your scoops and flavors. Then you sit at one of the tables or carry it out. The place was a magnet for happy, smiling people in a quaint area. By the time we left the line extended out the door and down the block. Delicious! read more

Housemade cone -- wasn't my fav but an interesting concept. Custom flavors -- key lime pie was the perfect level of tartness. Line down the block -- don't expect a super quick stop but the line moves quickly. Super fun and whimsical decor. Definitely work trying if you're in the area. read more

This is the best sweets shop we found in little rock! Really cute shop & sells a good selection of sweets including hot cocoa, ice cream, oatmeal cream pies, macarons & maybe a few other items The oatmeal cream pie was delicious. Soft cookies & buttery frosting. Yum! The macarons looked like they tasted good & had the proper feet but were tinier than other macarons I've seen for the price Ice cream flavors had a nice variety of choices. I got cotton candy & s'mores & my husband got Arkansas mud & mint chocolate chip. S'mores & mint were my favorites! Tasted like mint leaf, not mint flavoring. So good! The cotton candy was my least favorite ... The flavor was good, but has a waxy aftertaste I didn't care for Overall, worth a trip if you're in little rock Street parking only read more

Loblolly is such a fun, cool local concept! The decoration and theme is super cute. The ice cream is heavy buttermilk. To be honest, I'm from the North, and it's not my favorite ice cream because of the heaviness but they still get 5 stars from me, because I have found my flavors I like from them! They have really unique flavors and I also am obsessed with the marshmallows and macarons. Plus they do their ice cream in flights which is a great idea! They have pints ready to go if you're in a rush. I usually stop in after going to one of the thrift shops or farmer's market on the weekend. The staff is always friendly. Don't be intimidated if you see a line! They get you through quickly! read more

Whatever you could ask for in a high-end ice cream place, this is pretty much it. They have a ton of flavors, plenty of vegan options, and what they do, they do well. I considered a flight, but I doubt I would have finished it and I wanted to try one of their special cones. The cone was billed as gluten-free and vegan, and had a slightly unusual crisp texture and a mild but noticeable flavor that paired well with the cream. It held together well enough. I figured you had to try the Arkansas mud when in Arkansas, and it delivered the rich mix of chocolate-y goodness one would expect. The vegan chocolate peppermint didn't taste wildly different; maybe a tad more dry but certainly not lacking in flavor. The mint chip was excellent, with little green flecks and a fresh taste. Despite the cold, I didn't try their hot chocolate, but I suspect anything they do is quality. read more

I've been gone from the area for 7 years, and was delighted to visit and see that Loblolly has opened their own shop and expanded their offerings! They still excel in small batch ice cream, yet also have a selection of cookies, brownies, macarons, and s'mores; homemade marshmallows, hot chocolate, and coffee concoctions. The branding is spot on...so colorful and cheerful, one can't help but smile. I was so impressed with all of the small details: color changing spoons, adorable tokens for gifting, and even Arkansas shaped graham crackers in their s'more's kits. It's all about the details, and they are perfection. Now on to the ice cream...it's good stuff. We tried the Arkansas Mud, Salted Caramel, Morning Brew, some type of Peach Bourbon, and Strawberry. The Arkansas Mud and Strawberry flavors are my top picks! Morning Brew is a tad bit icey versus creamy, in my opinion. But all are delicious. As a mom of a kid with allergies, I really appreciate the dairy free and vegan options. Although I know it's tough to accommodate all, if they offered some nut free flavors that they separated during processing/sale to minimize the chances of cross contamination, that would be amazing! (And seems very doable since they make in small batches, could have dedicated nut free scoops, etc.) I'd love to take my son here; it's virtually impossible to find ice cream shops or bakeries without nuts/cc risks...but I think Loblolly could conquer this challenge. read more
