It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity. That’s the mantra of many Clevelanders in the summer months, where the heat from the unforgiving sun mixes unpleasantly with the moisture from Lake Erie to create what can best be described as a gross, sticky experience. Whenever I think about Cleveland summers, one quote from To Kill a Mockingbird comes to mind: “Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o’clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.” What a beautiful, artful way to describe the horror of heat in the American summer. Fortunately, here in Cleveland, we have seasonal ice cream shops to offset the brutal summer temperatures and humidity. And if you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind seasonal treat, there’s one local sweet shop that has secreted itself away in a busy stretch of businesses. However, you’ll find the most unique ice cream shop in Cleveland hiding here. Check it out:
Walking down Clifton Boulevard, it's hard to miss the grooviest ice cream shop in The Land.
This is Remixx Ice Cream + Cereal Bar, a relative newcomer to the local foodie scene. Though it has only been open for a few years, locals can't get enough of its over-the-top vibe, dramatic colors, and even more eye-catching creations.
And, of course, the disco balls in the window will pique your curiosity as soon as you notice them.
The concept at this made-to-order ice cream shop is simple: start with vanilla ice cream, add some mixx-ins, and top it off with cereals, syrups, and drizzles.

Run by a husband and wife team and providing mentorship opportunities to area women, this local business is so much more than your average sweet shoppe.
While this shop empowers you to be the DJ of your own dessert, it's also an empowering milieu all around. Its owners are passionate about encouraging others to chase their dreams, and it's hard not to daydream in their colorful, eye-catching storefront.
With every order, Remixx serves up a side of nostalgia thanks to a colorful atmosphere with throwback-themed art.
You'll find pop art of your favorite musicians alongside their vast selection of sweets. Paired with the rainbow-hued mural of the Cleveland skyline, you won't mind taking the time to stand in line. There's just so much to look at!
While you're able to artfully curate your own mix of toppings, there are also special monthly treats on the Remixx menu that take some of the pressure off you.
After all, combinations created by actual ice cream experts have to be delicious! You'll love the seasonal selections, which often include fruitier, lighter options in the summer and more decadent chocoholic options in the fall.
You can also opt for a mixxshake instead, which is a deliciously sippable alternative to ice cream.
I love a good milkshake, and the selections at Remixx Ice Cream + Cereal Bar do not disappoint. From Gimme Gimme S'more to Cherry Bomb, you'll love both the flavors and the playful names they're paired with.
Of course, in my professional opinion, cones are the best way to enjoy ice cream altogether.
In addition to being yummy, the ice cream cones at Remixx are massive. If you're a slow eater like me, you'll appreciate the extra time these cones give you to enjoy your ice cream.

And if you're hoping to enjoy their ice cream back at home, you'll love grabbing carry out and taking it easy.
