Who has the best ice cream in the Triangle? Tell us your favorite sweet spot

‘Tis the season for a sweet scoop of ice cream, and we want the scoop on the very best in the Triangle.

You’ve recently dished out your opinions on the top tacos, chocolate chip cookies and cocktail bars in the area. Now, it’s time to see who really takes the cake (or cone!) for best ice cream based on your recommendations.

We’re skipping the major chains and sweet treat empires, but we want to hear about your favorite dessert shops from Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill and surrounding towns.

Fill out the nomination form below with your top pick. Of course, if you have more than one go-to sweet spot, you can refresh the page and nominate another.

Next week, we’ll compile your nominations and put them to a vote.

A few notes before we begin:

• This is not a scientific poll or survey — it’s just for fun! During the contest, anyone is welcome to refresh the webpage and submit another vote.
• We are looking for local recommendations, so chain restaurants with more than 25 locations will be excluded from the contest. Previous winners will also be excluded.

• Questions? Email us at ask@newsobserver.com.
