One SCREAM. Two SCREAM. We all SCREAM for ice cream, and yogurt, and other frozen treats!

It’s the time of year when the air conditioners continue to hum and walking from your car into a building makes you break out in a sweat.

Thank goodness there’s something that can provide sweet relief.

Frozen yogurt, ice cream and shaved ice are all perfect low-tech ways to beat the heat. And fortunately there are lots of places from which to choose.

Vote for your favorite shop in Goose Creek, Mount Pleasant, Summerville and West Ashley in our "Best Frozen Treats" contest as Patch unveils its Readers' Choice. Nominations ended July 9. Winners will be announced in August.

Don't just vote, tell us why you picked your favorite in the comments. If your favorite isn't on the list, throw them a shout out in the comments below.
