You never know what interesting flavors you're going to find in Whole Foods gelato--no two days carry the same selection.

There's a fairly new icecream/smoothie place in 5 Points South. They also offer banana splits and fudge brownie sundaes. I wanted just a hot fudge sundae but they couldn't vary the formula.

Mountain Brook Creamery on Cahaba Road near the circle had at least 10 different chocolate variations yesterday and also offer 8-carb frozen yogurt.

I don't think Wright Dairy is offering tours any more. They do have an outlet store at the farm with their own dairy products and various other organic / hormone-free products they get from elsewhere.

Downtown denizens might also like to know that there's a Dippin' Dots vending machine in the lobby of the McWane Center…

Thanks to both WadeonBirmingham & Dystopos for your eagle-eyed edits!
I've deleted Clumpies from the listings but left Wright Dairy in case anyone wants info about farm tours.

Dystopos is right. I just called Clumpie's and the Wright Dairy outlet — both numbers disconnected.

Did anyone actually edit and fact check this article, or did you just cut-and-paste from the online Yellow Pages?

I'm pretty sure the Wright Dairy outlet and Clumpie's are both closed. You can still drive out to the Wright Dairy Farm near Neely Henry Dam and buy their ice cream in cartons, though.
