With just a short drive from Guthrie to Oklahoma City, you have access to some of the best ice cream shops around.

Roxy’s Ice Cream Social

Husband and wife duo Shane and Raena Mutz first started Roxy’s Ice Cream Social as a food truck in 2012. While the pair had a different food truck that they had sold the year before, Shane began building food trucks for others in the area. Raena soon asked him to build an ice cream food truck for her, and the rest is sweet history. The couple named the business after their dog, Roxy, and opened their first brick-and-mortar location in the Plaza District. They’ve since expanded to include a location at Classen Curve shopping center.

Roxy’s Ice Cream Social makes its ice cream fresh daily. It aims to use the highest quality locally sourced ingredients. The shop menu includes a variety of ice cream flavors, including vegan, sorbet, and sherbet options. Classic flavors include pistachio, salted caramel, coffee and cream, strawberry, and cherry, and it rotates seasonal flavors at each of its shops. It also serves a selection of floats, cookie sandwiches, and sundaes.
