Ice-cream eaters, like motorcyclists, risk head damage if they move too quickly and without proper skill. Practice safe slurping with today’s Groupon: for $4, you get $8 worth of frozen treats and more at Dreamette, a family-friendly ice-cream shop with outdoor bench seating.

Dreamette has been serving classic dipped cones, milkshakes, and sundaes to its many fans in the Jacksonville community since 1948. Mosey up to the mosey-up window for a classic soft-serve cone dipped in one of several flavors, including chocolate, cotton candy, blue raspberry, and strawberry (starting at $1.70). Or pump some potassium into your electro-light sweet tooth with a banana split (starting at $4.25). A vast assortment of sundaes and milkshakes (starting at $3.15)—including the butterfinger milkshake topped with walnuts and the Blue Hawaiian, a mixture of pineapple, coconut, dancing smurfs, and banana—also takes shape behind the counter.
