Pugnuts Ice Cream Shop

About This Establishment

Clam Trax hits with a milk-ch chocolate base, peanut butter swirl, yogurt pretzels, and Oreo fragments—the crunch and snap clash in a creamy swirl. Salted Caramel Kettle Corn brings a crackly, caramel-bright swirl with chocolate-covered corn nuts for a brine-kissed bite. Oak Gelato pours an oaky, woodsmoke edge while Lavender Honey Gelato perfumes the air with floral notes and a silky finish. Pug Passion anchors the lineup, a bold gelato that fans keep coming back for.
