Food Critics: The best frozen eats and treats in Kansas City for summer 2022

As temperatures climb, so do cravings for anything cold. From sweet to savory, and everything in between, Kansas City's food scene has almost all palates covered.
Summertime in the Midwest is prime frozen treat season, but you don't have to make do with mass-produced popsicles pulled from the depths of an industrial freezer.

Food writer Liz Cook prefers to explore the options at Baba's Pantry, on 63rd Street in Kansas City, Missouri.

"They've always got something kind of interesting in the case right inside the door," she says. "They do a couple different savory pops, they've got a jalapeno mint as well."

And don't forget dinner before satisfying that sweet tooth! A cold, raw gazpacho soup is always an option during hot summer days.
