Summer Rerun: Pace’s Dairy Ann
Assignment: City’s Best Snowcone
Stop No. 3: Pace’s Dairy Ann
Location: 1180 S. 500 West, Woods Cross
Madame, P.I. Reports:
I headed up north to Woods Cross to check out Pace’s Dairy Ann. It’s an old-timey hamburger joint with loads of fun treats. Not to be deterred by the abundant menu, I stayed focused and went straight for the kill: the Rainbow. With a slush-like consistency, power-packed flavor (I tried peach—the same peach that made Pace’s popsicles famous) and a swirl of soft-serve to boot, it’s easy to see why this frosty delight warms hearts over with ease.
True, it’s not your classic snowcone. Hence the “sort of.” But seriously, what’s not to love about a truly tasty alternative? (Or a place with “Dairy Ann” in the name?) Especially this time of year, when it’s slim-pickings for us snowcone lovers. Pace’s is open year-round.

Mmm these are the best. When I went to USU we would stop here every time on the way home to SLC.

Millie’s in Sugarhouse (2100 S. 1000 E.) serves something like this. They call their’s “The Glacier”. My favorite flavor is Tiger’s Blood. Yum yum! I love Millies!

I love Pace’s and used to hit it often when I lived up that way. Their Astro bars are the best!

I have to admit I got a little excited when I saw a thing on Pace’s. It was started by my great grandfather and is now owned by my uncle. And my Dad is the one who makes the Pace Bars that are in the grocery stores. I have many a memory when I was little eating dinner in the back of the store on milk crates while my Dad was working nights. The rainbows are definately my favorite.
