Reviews of Vanderwende Farm Creamery

Henry Farkas

Stopped at Vanderwende Farm Creamery on the way home from the beach. It's a nice place to stop. It breaks up the trip. I had a milkshake with mint chocolate chip, peanut butter swirl, and cherry ice cream. It was very tasty with plenty of delicious mint chocolate chips. The cherry ice cream wasn't flavourful enough to be tasted. Those of you who like cherry ice cream should get it in scoops rather than in shakes. The shake was thick and delicious. I highly recommend the Vanderwende Farm Creamery.

Thomas Hornik

We took the backroad to the coast, and found this gem amoungst a series of farmers market stands. We stopped because it was an actual dairy farm with fresh ice cream (is there any other reason)? The ice cream and milkshake were very creamy and delicious. There is both indoor and outdoor seating (although the outdoor seating had lots of flies). There also is a small toilet on-site. We definitely recommend popping in for a fresh treat!

20211022 Yeah!! They are open!! Oh my, this Creamery gets pretty busy. They sell jar items, candles, soap, coolers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, cheese, milk, pies, cakes, diggie donuts and baked goods. Their ice cream serving is HUGE!! One scoop is more like 2 scoops at most creameries I have been to, about 40+ up and down the East Coast. Most of their flavors are not what I usually get. Their cherry ice cream is both red and black cherries. I got the strawberry and mint chip (half and half = scoop). I appreciate that they offer half and half since I don't eat a lot of Ice cream in 1 setting, and half half gives me the variety I need to eat more at 1 setting. Might need to let the rest melt and drink it like milkshake. The ice cream has a nice consistency, but needs more filling... chocolate chips, strawberry pieces, etc... I rather get a smaller potion of ice cream and get more filling... just got home... doggie Donut smelled so good - peanut butter, but when I tried to pick it up, it broke, crumbled. So disappointed. My finicky pups don't want it. OH well. 20211019 So disappointed!! I have been wanting to try their ice cream. Finally made a trip to the beach... and they are closed due to staffing. Since my arrival, at least 5 cars drove up, looked and drove away... likely with the same disappointment I have. At least I spotted a couple of cows. I think my girls are more disappointed than me since they love ice cream.

Timothy Torres

Just great ice cream all around and big portion sizes.

Jasmin Cleveland

We stopped by this gem on the way to DC because our friends in the area suggested it. The staff are so nice and answered any questions that we had. My favorites were the coconut 🥥 and the Apple pie ice cream. It was so good and reasonably priced. I will definitely be stopping there every time I come to that area. …

I have been going here for over 10 years. They have the best ice cream around and huge portions. My one and only complaint is that they do not have their homemade waffle cones at their Greenwood location. I am a local and I prefer going there because it is less busy than the 404 location. Please bring them to the Greenwood location.

Molly Baxter

Very delicious! Not unreasonable price for the size. A single scoop was more like 2 big scoops. Coffee Oreo had huge chunks of Oreo and hit the spot. Highly recommend for high quality creamery ice cream

Noah smith

Went down there for a family trip, It was very nice. They had a very good selection of ice cream. Love the cows that come up to the fence! Nice decor. And very last.. VERY GOOD ICE CREAM

Danirae2216

My husband and I wandered across this place in the middle of nowhere and so glad we did! UNIMAGINABLE! Honestly, it's so creamy and smooth, not too sweet, it's perfect. . We stopped back once more on our way back home from the beach and now that we are home all I want is more of this ice cream. Being that it's so hard to find anything worth spending your money on nowadays, I'm definitely up to taking a 3 hr. Road trip for something to do🍦

Emily Bever

Amazing ice cream, straight from the farm! You can even say hi to the cows. Limited seating inside, expansions over the years have created a nice outdoor space. Generous portions - well worth the price.

Jennifer France (Jen)

Looove this place. Can get really crowded on a nice warm weekend, but they are friendly, keep it moving pretty well and worth the weight. Price and flavors are great here!! Jamoca Almond Fudge is soooo good!! MIL was in town, went there weekday in Aug, sat outside together, really nice treat. She had two more times before she left as well.

Jeanine Philips

OMG what a great place. We never go by without stopping in (unless closed). Friendly staff and plenty of parking! You know it's good when patrons are lined up out the door (moves quickly).

Alexei Kolesnikov

Wonderful place to stop for an ice cream on the way to the ocean. Easy to miss while driving on the highway, but we'll worth making a u-turn. This is a part of a big farm operation, so they sell more things inside the store.

Joseph Walsh

Delicious ice cream! 'Holy Cow' flavor is excellent. One scoop was still a huge ice cream cone!

Sofa King Good

This place is so popular because the dairy farm is next to the ice cream shop. They sell other stuff too but the real draw is hand dipped cones. We arrived at 12 noon, there was a line of about 20 people. Line for the bathroom was not too bad, it was clean. There are tables and chairs in the center. Outdoor seating is also available but it was hot out.

Ian Hillerman

Great ice cream! Recommend the PB chocolate as well as the mocah almond fudge.

Jobany Villatoro

Very good ice cream, I just wouldn't call it "out of this world". The staff members were very pleasant and efficient. The serving sizes are really big.

Andrea Bean

The ice cream here is very tasty! I got a banana split and it is big enough for two people. The strawberry flavor had chunks of strawberries 🍓 We have passed this place many times on the way back from the beach and always wanted to try it. So glad we did and will definitely visit again! …

Doreen Stuchinsky

Very best ice cream ever! Stopping there will be a tradition whenever we travel to our beach house! 😊 …

Alejandro Cruz

Great tasting ice cream. Beautiful scenery with the farm as a backdrop. 1 scoop is actually closer to 3 scoops. They also sell watermelon jam and pepper jam which were wonderful and unique. This is only place I've seen it being sold. The only downfall is the smell of manure which can be expected but still a bit unappealing and there were flies inside the actual shop.

Annette Meade

We love visiting Vanderwende Farm Creamery when we are in the area! The ice cream is delightful!

Roberta Kaub

Nice little ice cream shop. Sells jellies, fudge and assorted foods. The ice cream is the creamest I've ever had!

karen m

On the way home from OC, stopped for Vitamin D, aka ICE CREAM. It was AMAZING and plentiful. One scoop was almost too much

Psalms 118:17

Great flavors ...very creamy but still number one ice cream is Daily Scoop in Pasadena, MD. I prefer a slightly chewy ice cream. Fyi...lots of outdoor seating but smell can be over powering so most were sitting in their cars.

Dottie Skocic

Absolutely love this place! The best ice cream hands down

Jill Carpenter

Great family friendly ice cream place in Delaware! Lots of flavor options. Price is decent for large portions, even the kid's size was rather large. My kids loved being able to play on the equipment. Friendly people and dogs to pet were the highlight of our visit along with the climbing sets. I should have researched more though, prior to going. I had hoped to take the kids on the tour, however they did not offer weekend tours.

Ashley Beisel

Such great quality ice cream - the cotton candy flavor is so good! Service was wonderful too. Highly recommend!

Linda Gitt

Generous portion on our single scoop cone! Very creamy and yummy. Good selection of flavors including seasonal flavors. Nice clean store and neat farm surrounding it.

Hugo Gomez

The ice cream here is simply amazing. Never had better in my whole life. They sell other cow products as well such as milk and cheese which I'm sure would be just as good. The price was good and they have many options to pick from as well as specials. If you pass this place up on the road you will definitely regret it!

Deborah Hampton

As usual the ice cream was awesome. Had a root beer float which was so good. The people are always friendly. Love this place.

Rob T.

This is always a "must stop" going to and from the beach. The ice cream is so fresh and there are so MANY flavors to choose from. And the prices are unbelievable. I always go for a milkshake with whatever flavor combo I pick, because it's easier to consume while driving. 5-stars ALL DAY!

Russ Adams

Large portions of the ice cream they make. This was a fun stop coming home from the beach. They only have one bathroom and there was a line to use it.

Adrienne Jenkins

This great ice cream destination is very handy if you're going to the beach, it is on the way. They have probably 40 flavors of homemade ice cream. You can order 2 flavors & can get a float, a sundae, cone or cup. They also have a clean nice restroom next to big refrigerators with juice, butter milk & other offerings. The ice cream is the star here & deserably so. Easy to order at the counter, & then they call your name when your order is ready at the far end of the counter at the left. Clean, & accommodating young people serve. Nice place, I never miss going there & I I look forward to stopping on the way home.

Bradley Risinger

Prices have gone up, but still worth a visit on the way to Ocean City. The black raspberry shake was very good, and the ice cream.

Graham Shuman

Went a few times over vacation. These place is sensational. We asked some of the servers what their favorite cone was and they flaunted the homemade waffle cones they enjoy. Those delivered. Amazing creamery and great ice cream. Generous 1 scoop as well!

Krystelle Marie

Every now and then work takes me to DE and I always pass this on my way to the labs I work at. One day i finally left work early enough for home (in Baltimore) to make it in before their 6pm closing one weekday. Got there at 5:45pm - the line was at least 6 people deep! I was able to get my order...at least 12 different flavors... a whole bunch of offerings I terms of sizes and cups and cones. As i was going home I grabbed a couple pints. (A pint is $5, a quart is $9... my Root beer float was I think $4 or $5.) Ice cream very creamy... not my fave and I wouldn't drive out of the way for it, but nice to have if you pass by it on your way to your destination. I thought it was nice touch to actually see the farm and the cows that made my milky delights... but honestly i could have done without the stench of manure (?). They also sold other farm based or associated items - I think there was soap, Mason jars, merch. Servers were young but pleasant and quick.

DM B (Dave)

Though my cardiologist would not approve... Great ice cream, large portions, fair prices, nice staff.

Robert Crowe

Great ice cream! Worth the visit!

melanie dudor

Incredible ice cream - truly so much better fresh! I even got some raw cheese which was such a bonus. Passed this on the road on the way to Ocean City and now it will be a stop every time!

Rami Yousif

Amazing ice cream! Can’t go wrong with any flavors but I got the Banana Nut Fudge. I always make it a point to stop here on the way to Ocean City from Virginia and back home. Super friendly people and the portions are large!

Denny and Lacey Echard

As much as I love the atmosphere here and how nice and welcoming they are, and the taste of the ice cream... I can only give three stars due to dyes and unhealthy ingredients in the icecream. ☹ Know that the advertisement of "farm fresh" is just the milk, not healthy ingredients. They have packets that come in of each flavor including high fructose corn syrup, blue dye, red dye, etc. If they change this our family would be regular customers! Ps, This is a picture of my family enjoying ice-cream here as it was our once a year visit. And no blue ice-cream was eaten! Lol

Dorothy Keating

Delicious ice cream. LARGE portions. Saw a beautiful rainbow while we were there. Glad we stopped.

George Silvas

What a place for delicious ice cream. Big too. Friendly staff. I travel the road it's located on and I always stop for a tasty ice cream. 5 tasty stars. Thanks

John Shiffrin

My coworker told me about a great ice cream place on the other side of the Bay Bridge. When I got there, the parking lot was full and there was a line inside, so I figured this must be the best ice cream ever! But I was disappointed. The ice cream was good, but not the best ever. The scooper was very generous. I ordered one scoop. She filled the cone to overflowing, then added the one scoop. I would definitely recommend this place, but don't drive an hour and a half like I did.

Belikebilly P

Yes! Great place for a pit stop! Got 2 scoops of icecream n didn't realize d prices r so low! Great bargain! Will definitely stop by again.

Adam Fagen

Such delicious ice cream! Some of the best I’ve ever had.

Jessica Jackson

Great Icecream! Huge portions at excellent prices! I drive from Central Virginia.

Theresa Wolf

Holy cow! That was my first visit and I ordered two scoops. Aside from being delicious, it was hu-mooo-ngous!! I won't be able to drive by without stopping ever again!!

Esther Nolton

Two years ago, we went on vacation to Bethany Beach/Fenwick Island and thank goodness we discovered Vanderwendes early in the trip. We ended up getting it every day for the rest of the week. We search for ice cream everywhere we go and Vanderwendes is by far the best. I have been sick and on bed rest for the last couple of weeks, so as soon as I was free we drove 4 hours round trip yesterday just so I could get Vanderwendes and left with 5 pints for us and friends who supported us while I was ill. It’s still my favorite ice cream spot. Thanks for always making me smile!

Lainey Eisen

Really yummy high quality ice cream and large quantities!

Jerri “Medic4Purple” Thompson

Vanilla cherry is out of this world and homemade, fresh waffle cones are to die for. Visited last Tuesday afternoon and it was already super busy. They do need more staff but the 2 that were working did an awesome job with the crowded lobby. Definitely a must stop when on beach trips or just every day drives!!!

Renee King

A great ice cream parlor! Milk comes right from the cows that are on the property. I got 2 scoops of their seasonal ice cream Holy Cow which has peanut butter cups and hot fudge in it. Delicious!

Trina S

Don’t think twice, slap that blinker on and turn into greatness. Hands down the best ice cream I’ve had on the shore. It’s soooo creamy. Keep up the great work, y’all!

D Pak

Fresh ice cream on a cow farm. Can you ask to be any more legit? Coconut ice cream was creamy, contains real coconut flakes, and not too sweet. Balance was perfect Been here in the past and it's a toss up between this and the one down the road. Try both because its a close call!

C&F Rentals

Excellent ice cream quality and taste. Great service. A must stop every time you pass.

Toni Manning

Home made ice cream. Store is neat and clean. Great service

Mary Braun

The best ice cream ever!!!

Rick B

Best ice cream in the area. Highly recommended.

Betsy C

For a quick pit stop in our travels, this place hit the spot! Good ice cream and the other offerings looked good too.

Thao Huynh

Cute place with really good ice cream! It's really cool to see the scenery and cows.

Dave Gemmell

Just plan REAL GOOD ice cream. Always try to stop in when in the area.

Don Gerbrick

Great service great flavors large portions of ice cream per scoop. Very careful and took extra precautions with a nut allergy in my party.

Logan Sun

This was my first visit and had an excellent time. I ordered peanut butter fudge crunch and it was absolutely delicious. I was waited on by Sam and he was a very nice and fast worker. He was extremely kind and waited and helped me pick out what flavor I wanted. Overall great time and extremely great service. Would definitely come back again.

Allison Brown Wild

Thank you Vanderwende Farm Creamery for going above and beyond to make my son with a nut allergy feel safe eating your ice cream. The three young men working today were very professional and knowledgeable about how to handle a costumer with a food allergy. In addition to the wonderful costumer service the ice cream was so fresh and super yummy. We will be back!

Tommy Veirs

Beat ice-cream by far... I always get a chocolate shake

April Wagner

Oh. My. Goodness! This place was incredible. The cows are so sweet and it was fun watching them graze. The icecream flavors are yummy and there are some old time country store items available here as well. I would absolutely recommend this fun pit stop.

Akshu Kumar

Ice cream was good but too sweet. The bathroom was clean but it had some smell in there that made me want to throw up 🤢 I was gagging the whole time. There was a Long time since there was only one person serving. The server was very nice. …

Rob Collins

We love to visit here as a special treat. Large scoops (we usually choose two scoops, which is basically four), good choice of flavors, and fast service! My favorite is definitely Lemon Chiffon!! One of my sons loves the milkshakes as well. We brought a quart home and they filled it to the brim for us! Just writing this makes me want to go!!

Melissa B

Amazing ice cream! Expect long lines. Worth the wait!

Michael Nalley

Clean, pride, good prices, great product. The only problem, is choosing a flavor out of so many. Their on a dairy farm and they're is a kids play yard as well. Its has indoor and outdoor seating. So stop by and enjoy being on the farm.

Michael Passwaters

Ice cream and the variety top notch. Service usually good. Last 2 times they have been putting all my TOPPINGS on the bottom. I let it go 1st time but today took back and said they forgot my toppings. The girl said they are on the bottom so they dont fall oout. She had kind of attitude when said please put on top so when she walked away I told her that by time you get to toppings ice cream basically gone. Thats why they call them toppings, not bottoms. To eat with ice cream not after. Somebody needs to teach them about how to make ice cream sundays.

Loral Johnson

It doesn't matter if you're a local or a western shore beach bum, this is the place for a cold cone regardless the time of year. We usually don't get this way unless we're heading to the airport or going to my wife's sister's house, but she always glances my way to see if I'll stop or not. There is a great selection of flavors. And a few choices of cones or cup. My favorite is their hand made wafle cone. Regardless of how you order, east or west, you'll finish before you cross Rte 13 or get to Rte 50.

Carla Altamirano

The best ice cream! Creamy! Always busy!

Hannah Mulato

Ice cream was amazing! Will definitely stop by this place again when we go to the beach. Place is clean, lots of cows to take pictures of outside. Lots of flies there but it was windy so they weren't really a bother.

Darlene Pearce

Ice cream is delicious! They are always crowded!

Michelle S

We stopped in after visiting Assateague. The cows were out so I got a few pictures and said thank you for their yummy ice cream. Then, I went in and got a cup of half orange and something and half chocolate peanut butter. Y.U.M!!!! Also got a quart of coffee ice cream to go.

John R.

Possibly the best ice cream I have ever had, and the prices aren't bad at all!

Rhiannon Somers

This is absolutely some of the best ice cream I have ever had. The selection of flavors is awesome, the prices are absolutely fair, and the staff is super sweet. I absolutely recommend checking them out.

Todd's Pokestop

Great ice cream and I am always a fan of a fresh made waffle cone, tried the butter pecan 1 scoop and it was more like three scoops. This place is fast fresh and a very generous portion. Such a great little spot for a date or taking the family out for dessert. They sell other items such as fresh milk ice cream by the pint and other items.

Lety Zamorano

Love this place and so happy it stays open in the winter. Ice cream is fresh and creamy and prices are good. I've stopped a few times heading back from Ocean City and it's always been pleasant. I love that you can combine different flavored scoops to get the best out of multiple tasty worlds. Line can be long at times but it goes by quick. Definitely worth a small wait :)

Buck town b

Best Homemade 🍨 ice cream I’ve had on the east coast, I highly recommend & always make special trips to come here few times a year! …

Deborah Remer

Phenomenal ice cream, a delicious assortment of flavors, and freshly made waffle cones... What more could you ask for? The flagship store is also a great place for your littles to see the Vanderwende dairy cows. 😊 …

Kevin LaRue

I'm on a mission to try all the flavors. Today was black raspberry and orange dreamsicle. Both were full of flavor and delicious.

And P

Fantastic, creamy ice cream and huge portions. It can be easy to miss their building, but so worth the stop. The line moved pretty quick, interiors and bathroom were clean. Their seasonal coffee Oreo flavor is my current fav! Recommend grabbing a couple extra napkins on the way out because it melts quickly in this heat and makes a mess!

Alisha Regimbal

Awesome ice cream.... almond joy was so yummy

Mike Sloan

A delicious pre-linch stop on the way home from the Delaware beaches. They have amazing baked good too!

Sandra Duerr

Just what you want at the end of your day at the beach! Homemade ice cream with the cows just outside! Lots of great flavors! Waffle cones! And milk in glass bottles. Annie's Apple Pie was delicious!

Helen Herrick

Beautiful setting. Clean restaurant and bathroom. Nice staff. Ice cream is delicious, creamy. Lots of choices. I got banana with chocolate and walnuts. Serving sizes are large (one dip is more like two). We look forward to stopping here on way home from the ocean.

Michael Douglas

Ice cream is delicious. However, I remember they used to be much more generous with thier Scoops. You couldn't eat more than 2 scoops. However, they are pretty stingy now.

Mike Nager

This place is absolutely worth the stop. Super fresh ice cream that is arguably the best you'll find in a 100 mile radius or more. In the warmer months, eating outside on the picnic tables next to the cows is ice cream nirvana.

Linda O

Delicious ice cream. A must have on a hot summer day!

Julia Zucco

Love this place! We've been to the Fenwick location a couple of times and also the main store off of 404. The service was great each time. We've enjoyed each flavor of ice cream, particularly the chocolate peanut butter. Was surprised at how light and flavorful the lemon was. Never had creamier ice cream, the quality top notch!

Amy Tomic

The best ice cream I’ve ever had!! My husband and I have to stop when we make our trips to Ocean City, MD and on the way back! The lemon chiffon flavor is so divine and he loves the cappuccino crunch!! We love seeing the cows too!

Tuc Baldecchi

Very delicious and worth a stop on the way to the beach.

Mike Honcho

The family and I are a big fans of this place. The ice cream is great and the shakes are so good Vincent Vega wouldn't think twice about spending the money. Usually pretty busy, that doesn't happen at sub-par places. Sure a lunch or dinner rush, that's common at the worst of places. This place, there is rarely an open spot in the parking lot.

Rocky Donovan

Go get great ice cream for an amazing price. Say "Thank you" to the dairy cows on the way out! Located right on 404, on the way to the beaches. Make this a "coming and going" tradition for your summer trips to OC. You won't be disappointed. They also sell cheeses and milk from other small dairies as well.

Vladimir Rodin

Good ice cream, very disorganized place. Charged me for 2 scoops of ice cream, then told 10 minutes later, that they don't have one of flavours I've paid for. I have agreed for another flavor, finally got the ice cream and left. 10 minutes later I've realized, that I've only got one scoop in one flavor. So I was overcharged and haven't even got any of the flavors I've paid for. It wasn't intentional on part of employees but rather a result of bad store design — you have to pay upfront and then hope, that other employees don't mess up your order. I've never seen an ice cream parlor, including dairy farm stores, where you pay before your dessert is prepared. I'm still giving 4 starts, because ice cream was good, and mostly because we need many stores like this, so I don't want this place to lose any business because of one mishap.

Sharon Kleczynski

Best milkshakes around the area! Ice cream is great. Parking lot is always full and lines out the door! A must stop if you are on the way to or from the beach.

Tina Evans

Love this place. Best ice cream ever.

Doni Hatfield

BEST ice cream ever!!! Thick, creamy extremely flavorful full-bodied deliciousness. Too many flavors always make it a hard choice. Did I say I LOVE their ice cream - try GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! ***WOW!!***

Peera Amornkit

Yummy ice-cream. Great customer service. One scoop is large. love it!

CC's Fitness Hour Lets Motivate To Lose Some Weight

Ice cream was amazing!! Great prices and FRESH FROM THE FARM. Thanks for always being ready to meet our ice cream needs!! Open year around too!!!

Matt J

Great Ice Cream! It was a recommendation from friends who have gone there for years. I would normally post pictures but it went too fast. The single scoop was huge! Great selection and even had something non-dairy for my one who had lactose issues... Orange-whip...

Joseph Bolil

Favorite stop to the beach. Delicious, creamy made locally, hard to pass up even if you just ate. After having go to ice cream places in VA and Nebraska, I must say this is my favorite

Paul Martens

Very tasty ice cream. 🍦 …

Michael Carnahan, REALTOR

Absolutely tremendous. This is always a MUST on our trips to and from the ocean. The ice cream is so fresh and awesome, and the atmosphere is really cool with the cows nearby and the feel of an actual farm. Terrific!!!!

Carl H

This place is off the hook, great ice cream and great customer service and has regular hours unlike Hopkins Farm which can never make up their mind what hours they will be open. This place has cows and has not sold off their farm like Hopkins did because the kids just wanted the money.

Suzanne Berry Woodyard

The very best ice cream. They have lots of delicious flavors but I judge the quality of ice cream by their vanilla. And their vanilla is Premium. Get some to take home or to take to your hostess if you are visiting.

Amber Cockey

So many flavors! Abundant parking. Restroom inside. Other things for sale like salsas, cheese, milk, etc. Definitely go!

Mavi Pine

Smell the milk, delicious ice cream, yummy.

Rob Appleton

Stopped in on a weekday so there was no crowd, but a steady stream of cars pulled in. I'm a plain vanilla guy, theirs is wonderfully cream. My 4-year-old grandson loved his birthday cake icecream but couldn't explain why it is blue. Staff was friendly and patient as we made our selection. Masks required.

Nikki C

This place is A MUST stop when going to the Eastern Shore. Best, most fresh ice cream yummiest ice cream. They have all the traditional favs, PLUS MORE, even sugar free.There is also a bathroom. It's very picturesque, so click away.

Violet Williams

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and I'd have to say it went pretty well. The cows were out on the pasture which was a bonus considering I love cows. The ice cream was also very good.

John Petersen

Amazing Amazing Amazingly good ice cream. Can't imagine what it must be like to find a parking spot at this joint in the summer time. Was blown away with how good the mint chocolate chip was. And the banana nut fudge is the best I've had. Will def be back, every time I'm in town.

Rick Jordan

The other reviews are spot on. Just the best ice cream around. Very creamy but amazingly smooth. Haven't had a bad flavor yet. Stop here to and from every beach trip on the way back to Western Maryland for a couple of hand-packed quarts. Line moves fast.

Holly Spencer

Amazing ice cream. So fresh you must go there

‘ CCK5018 ‘

This is easily some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The owners also own Little Wagon Produce, which has some good corn! But yeah, the ice cream is spectacular and for only 1.00$ extra, you can get a homemade waffle cone in your ice cream. Every ice cream is made themselves, and it is spectacular! A must-go to.

Brandy Valdez

I stopped by on my way home from the beach on a friend's advice, and she was right. The ice cream is absolutely perfect. Take a cooler so you can take extra home when you stop in!! 🥰 …

Sydney Thom

I've gone during late spring and there was a long line but it moved at a decent pace. The ice cream was delicious, not too creamy but not flavorless either. Great portions. Also, the farm view creates great scenery while enjoying ice cream outside. If I remember correctly there's also a long table inside available to eat at

Peter Israel

Without a doubt this is definitely a winner! I've been to hundreds of ice cream places and Vanderwende may be the best I've ever had. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful. I highly recommend the cappuccino crunch, coffee and the black raspberry. There are 2 locations, I know of, the actual creamery and the other in Dewey Beach, DE. It may be psychological but I thought the ice cream at the farm was better. What wasn't my imagination were the prices. The shake was $5 at the creamery and $6 in Dewey, the small cup was $3.50 at the farm and $4 in Dewey. Either way the pricing is very reasonable compared to other places I've been to. The portions at the creamery were also a little more generous.

BLACKDRAGON RIDER

Yummy ice-cream very homey

Rebecca Lawrence

Delicious ice cream, so scrumptious! Especially coffee Oreo flavor. Wonderful, friendly service too. We can never drive through Greenwood and not stop at Vanderwende's.

Wendy & Charlie Parsels

Creamy, creamy ice cream! Huge selection of flavors and great service by friendly staff!

Meg

I had wanted to go here for the past few years on my ride back from the beach, some family friends said that it was very good. I finally got the chance to stop and got the chocolate chip ice cream, which was just okay. I may have overhyped it in my mind and then been extra disappointed when it was not as good as expected. If you're looking for the best ice-cream experience of your life, you may end up disappointed. The prices aren't bad and if you need to calm some kids down on the long trip back from the beach and don't mind the line and the smell of cows outside, then it's a good place to stop.

Bryan Webb

Creamy and flavorful ice cream served 100 feet from the cows that provide the milk.

carolyn Bell

Very goid ice cream, good service nice place

Alex Galetus

huge portions and solid prices. you have to stop here if you’re driving to the beach. honestly some of the best ice cream i’ve ever had in my life. every time i’m in the area i stop here and it never gets old.

Treva Suit

The service is always friendly. The price is very reasonable. The ice cream is always delicious. They have a nice gravel parking area that can get packed during beach season but the line still moves quickly. Stop, you won't be disappointed.

Ray V

Nice place, just sometimes don't accept credit card, cash only. Call ahead to ask if credit card machine is working.

Priscilla Yuen

I drove by here several times on the way to the beach. They serve homemade ice cream using the milk from their cows. They have a good variety of ice cream flavors. Most recently, I had the cookies and cream ice cream and it was so delicious! I highly recommend stopping by!

Marley Mom Miller

This place has incredible ice cream. We stop by frequently on our way home from the beach. They have seasonal flavors as well as the usual flavors. Well worth the visit.

Cindy Rogers

Stopped in on our way home from the beach. Cute little ice cream shop but in IMO, it was overpriced.

James Cummins

Great ice cream and treats

Chris Derhammer

My grandson and I stopped here on the way to Ocean City Maryland, it's a Creamery out in the middle of farmland. The ice cream is absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous! Worth driving out of your way for! Nice benches outside to sit and look at the beautiful farmland.

Varun Kumar

One of the best ice cream I ever had!

Sean Miller

Absolute banger, had their seasonal special peanut swirl in a milkshake and it was fantastic.

Shay T-El

We have passed this place on our travels to the beach many times for several years, andthe first time we were able to stop there were dozens of other people who were all thinking the same thing! It was an easy in Easy out. although it was crowded, we were not in line for more than a few minutes. The workers move the line very quickly the portions are generous and the ice cream was pretty good.

Sharon Johnson

nice place, but cups are too small for your ingredients! My Caramel Sundae had hardly any caramel.

Josh D

Great tasting home grown ice cream. Well worth the stop! My kids needed the bathroom while we were there, while small (single stall) it was very clean and accessable.

Luciana R

This is a must stop for our family every time we visit family at the beach! They have excellent ice cream and their Carmel corn is to die for! Great access from the road and ample parking.

Katie Jester

The ice cream is fine, nothing terribly special. My issue comes with their process and their staff. They make you order which ice cream you want without being able to taste test or even take a glance. The woman at the register just stood there, rude, unhelpful, with an annoyed look on her face while I figured out based on nothing what flavor I wanted. Then you pay, wait for your ice cream, and hope it's something you like! The only way they're getting business is because it's a cute little ice cream shop. Employees were not friendly and the ice cream is nothing special. Skip it.

Madscrapper85 ok

Our favorite Ice Cream not just locally best I've ever eaten. I compare any that I eat with theirs. Can't go wrong with Mint Chip but any flavor is awesome. Love that it's a local farm and business.

laurelkal

Always great ice cream, always great service!

Frank Gruman

Some of the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had. The black raspberry shake is my favorite, though. Although some might say the process have gone up, it's still a great value compared to anything at the beach or in the DMV area.

sue m

I've stopped here for ice cream a few times with my daughter. It is very clean, the staff is very nice, and they have many flavors to choose from. They also have indoor and outdoor seating as well as a few gift items for purchase. Very nice family place.

Lisa Braden

I would give this place 10 stars if Google would let me! If you drive past this place on your way to the Delaware beaches and enjoy ice cream, this place is an absolute MUST! Their ice cream is the best. They also sell milkshakes, ice cream cakes, fresh milk, butter and cheeses. If I can, I schedule my travel times around their hours! Check ahead of time in the off-season between Jan and March, their hours are much more limited.

Theodore Guba

Rich and delicious ice cream. Portion sizes are huge so be careful when ordering. Seasonal flavors are the best and the normal flavors are quite good also. They also sell ice cream by the quart and pint, cheese, and milk.

Kris Erskine

Great ice cream and milk. Loved this place and it's on a real farm. Would definitely go back.

Patrick

Pro: best tasting ice cream I've ever had! Con: long line but great service and fast for what it is. Since it is organic, it melts a bit faster. Worth it.

James Saul

The ice cream was soooooo good

Tammy Switzer

Best ice cream ever. My flavor fav is German Chocolate Cake! Oh my...

Colleen Copeland

What a great place! Fresh ice cream on a real dairy farm. A chance to enjoy Southern Delaware scenery at the same time. A variety of flavors of ice cream as well as cheese. Enjoy!!

Chris Kephart

This is a great place to stop on the way to the beaches to get snacks, ice cream, and other dairy goods for your day. Likewise it’s a great place to stop to get those nice cold snack to cool you down from a hot summer day.

Shelly Daisy D

One of the best ice cream parlors EVER!!! Ice cream is homemade. (This is a dairy farm) can not get more farm to table than that. Multiple flavors and also seasonal flavors. Get over there and get yourself some.

David Candler

Great ice cream with tons of flavors to choose from. Nice staff!

Jeanne Scharf

Quaint homemade ice cream shop that makes most of their ice cream fresh daily. Lots of delicious flavors to chose from at reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly in an intriguing atmosphere. Don't miss this stop on the way to/from the Delaware Beaches. You won't be disappointed!

kathy fowler

Great ice cream! The staff handled the huge amount of customers with ease. One scoop of ice cream is the equivalent of two anyplace else. The peanut butter fudge crunch was wonderful. Strawberry is up next.

Wanda Long

This shop was recommended to us. We were told they had the best icecream in the world. My family and I stopped here while on a road trip. I have to agree. The variety was amazing and the ice cream was rich, creamy and the best I've had this far

Rachel Fazenbaker

My absolute favorite place to get ice cream and I'm fortunate enough to live right down the road. My husband loves their dairy products and I love their peanut butter fudge ice cream

Patty Perkinson

Really good ice cream. Driven by a million times but it was warm.enough and not really crowded on a Tuesday in April. A great finish to a lovely trip.

Marie Hampshire

Was not impressed. Got peach milkshake and didn't taste very peachy. Chick fa las is so much better. Stopped and tried it again and got hit fudge sundae. Hardly any hot fudge on ice cream. Will not be going back.

D M

The place is adorable, and there cones are very large

Jon Simmons

The ice cream here is sooo good, worth the stop if you are near by.

sierraleone

Amazing place to get ice cream. Me and my family were on our way to ocean city when my mom suggested we that we should stop and check this place out. I had plain vanilla, and it tasted really good. The only thing I have to complain about is that there were three or four flys in the eating area.😖 But still this place was very satisfactory. 4/5.

Lucas Reuling

Ice cream was very good.

Michael Francis

I had the Rocky Road and my wife had the Peanut Butter Swirl. Not the best ice cream we have had. It was very busy. Maybe we need to try another flavor but it was not worth the wait.

Randy Chambers

Great as always love their ice cream Annie's apple pie is my favorite but everyone I've tried was delicious

Barbara Bever

A great place to stop! Ice cream servings are very generous and reasonably priced. Even have a few nondairy sorbets!

Wesley Sobolesky

Best ice cream on Earth. Friendly staff and fast service, if you don't go it's just more for me lol

Angel P

Delicious homemade ice cream! I ordered the black raspberry! Yummmidy yummy yumm. Beautiful scenery. The parlor is right on their farm land with cows, too. Was a little chill and a tad bit windy so.....sat in car as we ate our cones. All the while enjoying the atmosphere.

SUE-BROWN Henry

Good ice cream and I don't get sick despite my lactose intolerance. It's almost as good as the homemade ice cream in Reading Square, Philly. A little more flavor would make it perfect! Hmmm, now I want to go get some.

Bug Love

The ice cream is AWESOME! Get the holy cow, oreo peanut butter, or peach. These are seasonal flavors, so get these quick!

Mathias Kristensen

Ordered two scoops of ice-cream, it was so large that I could barely finish it :-) However the clerk did not inform me that he would put the ice-cream and cone into a cup due to me ordering caramel on top of the ice-cream. When I said I would just grab the ice-cream without the caramel when he handed me the cup of ice-cream, with the $1 homemade cone put on top of it, he got annoyed, and made me a much smaller ice-cream, which was still very large though. In Short: good ice-cream, bade customer service / information

Michael Day

Some of the best ice cream in Southern Delaware. Don't just drive by; stop and enjoy.

Joyce Nolen

Need an Ice Cream Fix? You absolutely must stop by and get some of their hand dipped, made "In-House" ice cream. You will make it a regular stop off place while traveling Rte 404 in Delaware, just outside Bridgeville. Outside picnic tables in a beautiful setting! No inside dining. You will not regret it.

PMI Nurse

Best ice cream I ever had. Friendly people. Huge portions and low prices.

Kathy Wan

Best ice cream I've had!

Johnny B

Yea, there's a reason they have 4.9 stars. My milkshake, black raspberry was phenomenal. Service fast, Wuhan flu compliant, with masks and distancing. If you're passing by you gotta stop and at least get a scoop.

Vincent Guerrieri

Stopped here on the return from our trip to the beach. Parking lot was crowded, the queue was long, but the wait was worth it. This is a local creamery with outstanding product. Surely the best ice cream in Delaware.

Jamie Posey

THE best ice cream out there. The shops are vety comfortable and there are so many delicious flavors to pick from. If you ever visit and see a line, it is worth the wait! (which is usually a short wait with how friendly and quick the staff is)

Cody Sisco

Legitimately some of the best ice cream I have ever had. I've only been once but I would highly recommend the 10-15 minute detour off of Sussex highway to hit this place!

Ben Alexander

A great place to have brunch for sure. We walked in with not much expectation, only to be surprised by the friendliness of the staff, delicious food, quick response and clean place. A great place to go to with family or friends.

Larry Cicchiello

Priced very fairly and ice cream is as good as a gets.

art hotchkiss

Excellent home made ice cream. Many, many flavors. I also enjoy the fresh whole milk from them. It actuslly comes in an old fashioned real glass jug. Very tasty.

Jen Birch

Been here before. Had to come back. The store was clean and every one nice. Alot of different flavors. The prices are a little steep but for one scoop in a cup it's like 4 scoops. My family and I will return.

Cami S

The ice cream was suuuper creamy and yummy! The chocolate milk was also very good. It's the perfect treat to get on the way to the beach or even after.

Donna Klauza

Delicious homemade ice cream; huge portions.

Meghan Fan

First Things First: I ordered 1 scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, it only had like 3 chunks of cookie dough in it!!!!! Second: They scooped too much ice cream in a cone, and it crushed right as it was placed in my hand!!! Third: The shop was also understaffed, and did not have enough trash cans on the premise!! Fourth: The air conditioning was up to high! The ice cream was good overall!!!! I'd go back!!

Robert Novich

Best Ice Cream Ever!!!! Amazing selection, incredible quality of ice cream, awesome house made waffle cones and the ice cream is an incredible bargain!!! Stop here on the way to, and on the way back from the beach, because this is always worth it, even with a wait.

Alan L

It doesn’t get any fresher! Best strawberry ice cream ever!

Brian Phillips

I'm not a dessert person, so I normally skip it. I much prefer salty or savory foods. However, riding down route 16 in Delaware today I nearly caused an accident pulling into Vanderwende's parking lot. I have found that their ice cream is not overly sweet, so I love it. We live close to Island Creamery and Chesapeake Bay Farms Creamery and Vanderwende's tops them for their perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. Do yourself a favor and try them out!

Kate Shaw

Best homemade ice cream. Good portions for great price. Love the staff too, always happy and friendly. Great place to stop on way back from the beach. Miss living nearby.

Lisa Voge

Love their options. Employees aren't very friendly, ur lucky to get a smile. The young girls are a bit snooty. But Ice cream sooo good My fav Maple Walnut. They will also let u sample flavors. The line is always long and I think they need to organize that cause customers argue who was their 1st. Doggie ice cream avaliable for ur pooch is also available for $2.00. The small is big so watch

Jason Lin

Good ice cream, but the workers there did not made us feel welcome at all. We made a stop there on our way to the beach on April 27. Not once did the worker smiled or seem happy to serve us(unlike the people in front of us), and I can tell that she was getting annoyed waiting for us to pick our flavors, with no one else behind us in the establishment. After reading the past non-five star reviews from here, I've noticed that most of them who complained about services, are not Caucasian. I hope that's a coincidence. Because I like to support local creameries and usually make a point to stop at one or two during most of my long trips. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, specially after reading the reviews.

Cece Coleman

Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. I tried two scoops of the cookies n cream....OMG!!! Heaven! Kicking myself right now as we ride back to VA, should've gotten anothere scoop : (. Will definitely be making the trip back to Delaware JUST for this ice cream!

Luis Lopez

Our #1 place for ice cream... Love it!!!

Marie Lamm

We go often, they have excellent ice cream, and sell many other items such as pies, butter, jelly, etc.

Emily

The Ice cream is awesome, the outside of the place kinda smells cause of the cows but the ice cream is worth it so I'd recommend it

harriet smith

People that was there eating with very friendly with each other in us really enjoy the experience Wonder wonderfully icecream fantstic people

Kim Graves

Best ice cream on the shore! The creamiest ice cream and not expensive at all which makes it even more of a delicious treat. Nice place to stop, sit for awhile watch the cows and enjoy an ice cream cone.

dirtylaser

Yum nothing like home made hand dipped ice cream. It's always busy for good reason but the line always moves fast.

Sarah Ito

Amazing! Outstanding! 6 stars! Small cones $3.50, pints $4.50. Also very friendly and super clean. Our whole family gives it "a gagillion thumbs up"!!

Mindy Scango

Great staff. I’m a regular since I travel to the beach most weekends so they recognize me and ask if I want my usual. :). Amazing ice cream!

Constance Rawlinson

A must stop if you are an ice cream lover. Lots of flavors and large servings too. Milk shakes are perfect. Stop there now.

Melba Martin

Great ice cream! My friends and I love to stop here on our way back from the Rehobeth outlets!

Greyson DeVries

Absolutely terrific ice cream. Shakes were good too! If you've got a hankering for ice cream I'd stop by.

Raven H

been coming here for years and it never disappoints!! The texture and flavor of the ice cream is always perfect.

bob schmermund

Warm friendly family owned. Great young people working hard to give you the best ice cream in Delaware. Black cherry milkshake -- yum!

Y B

The ice cream flavors are great, but if you eat outside manure is the bonus tang. Can't have good ice cream without cows though.

John Masterson

It doesn't get any fresher and better. They also sell some meats and Togo items. Bring a cooler with ice. Great experience for a stop on our ride home.

Mark Caison

Best ice cream my family and I have ever had. Friendly girl's behind the counter and fresh milk and cheeses for sale. Wish I didn't live so far away!

Moises Camacho

Excellent like always, my family usually stop by the creamery on our way back to VA every two week, when we go to the beach

Bill Waring

Definitely a new family tradition on any beach trips. The ice cream is amazingly delicious, a huge assortment of flavors and reasonably priced. Worth the stop for sure!!

Karen Lewis

Phenomenal ice cream, served in generous portions by friendly staff and/or the owners. I wish it were closer to home, but it is well worth the trip for a special treat.

D Hunt

Wonderful homemade ice cream right next to one of their pastures. Friendly service. Lots of unique flavors and great prices!

Anh Truong

Amazing ice cream, amazing value. Definitely recommend this!

Megan Sumner

The best ice cream in the world!

Michele G

Probably the best ice cream I've ever had! I mean the cows are right there, from cow to cone!

Top notch ice cream great thick consistency throughout and decent variety of flavors including multiple seasonal flavors such as rum raisin which make my mouth water even thinking about it Small country store selling products from bordering states also located inside a semi modern very clean facility

Benjamin Brown

Awesome ice cream place. Stopped by quick and was impressed with the amount of flavors available. The scoops are huge too, and make for a great price

Sharon Rumley

The ice cream here was great. A nice selection of flavors. I had the coconut and triple chocolate flavors. The also have fresh milk.

Amanda Doran

Outdoor seating with shade umbrellas, grazing cows nearby, fun cow facts posted on the fence, great tasting ice cream and HUGE servings! The John Deere Tractor sprinkles are so fun! Cool decor inside too- old ice cream scoopers and stuff. Fun place!

Richard Taylor

You will go crazy here, awesome ice cream and plenty of other homemade stuff. Jams, butter, canned beets are awesome. One of my favorite places.

Adam Lewandowski

Great stop on the way to or from the beach. Really good ice cream and always quick and friendly service.

Brian Condon Jr

Great ice cream, with great service. There is usually a line, but it’s well worth the wait!

Carolyn Biggs

We totally love this family owned shop and are delighted to have their new location open in our hometown of Greenwood. The ice cream is delicious, the staff are always friendly and pleasant!

JOSEPH ALVAREZ

Very good ice cream

Jeff Blaher

Stopped by after work. Off season had friendly service. Place was clean and ice cream is some of the best. Can't beat this place.

Helen Rush Anaya

Amazing ice cream! Their cookie dough and birthday cake ice cream is out of the world. Very affordable as well! Our go to place on the way home from the beach!

Deneen Frazier

Best homemade ice cream around

Walt Gordon

Delicious ice cream served by friendly staff. Enjoy inside or take it on the road...the flies outside can be very annoying. Worth the stop any day and any time!

Jennifer Lewis

Love their ice cream! Homemade, fun flavors, and huge scoops! It's always worth the wait in line!

Katy Johnson

Best place to get ice cream on the Eastern Shore! So many flavors it's hard to choose. You better be hungry because the cones are huge!

james ray

Great ice cream, nice spot to get a break on the drive to the beach. Don't rely on it for a bathroom break, just 1 unisex that can't keep up with the crowds visiting for ice cream.

Anne Johnson

The ice cream was creamy and smooth. They have a variety of flavors. The wait on a Sunday to be served was about 15 minutes but it was worth it!

Jeanne G

This is the best ice cream! The farm is located on 404 in Bridgeville but you can also get it at Pizza King in Seaford. I like birthday cake the best!

Joshua Baum

You cannot beat the price or the fresh taste. We go out of our way to visit and get their ice cream. I strongly recommend birthday cake or cherry vanilla.

James Johnson

The best ice cream in the world lives here, specifically, Vanderwendes coconut. The only thing that keeps it from being a 5 star is the price. A quart of ice cream here can buy you two quarts of Bryers. But that's not keeping me away from... coconut!!!

Joe Paquette

I'm giving them 5 stars , even though I've never been inside there. I'm not kidding......they stay packed from opening to closing!! I'm not too keen on waiting, so I have to pass on by, but always wishing I had hit them at a better time. I'm sure that day will come, one of these days. You don't do that kind of business, and not be outstanding.

Betty Cyrana

Excellent service and the most wonderful ice cream my mouth has ever tasted.

Cyrus Capuzzo-Hojaji

There is ice cream. Then there is superb ice cream. Then there is ice cream that would make you drop a baby. Then there is Vanderwende. Superb flavor and texture. If you dont pull over for it then someone dropped you as a baby.

Marcella Hilgartner

Delicious ice cream and they give you a lot. One scoop is acutally two scoops. My trips there qualifies as a meal of the day 😁 …

Mark

Best ice-cream I've ever had and extremely cheap prices for the sizes they give you. You can sit and eat right next to the cows that they milk.

Robert Agin

Excellent ice-cream place on the 404 highway at the Delaware-Maryland line. Love the Maple Walnut flavor.

Jon Kamide

Our stop on the way home from the beach every time. The best ice cream in the region. Line is always long, but the wait is short because of the 8-10 staff on hand. Not the friendliest crew but they get the job done.

Jesse Caris

Best ice cream around! Everyone local knows it. You wont be disappointed. They give generous amounts as well so good luck finishing it.

Benie B.

Excellent quality ice cream. One of the last old time ice cream parlors in a rural setting. Gets busy on the weekends. Limited seating inside and outside.

Caitlin Serotkin

We stopped here on the way home from the beach. Staff was friendly, the ice cream was amazing, the portions were huge, and the prices were super low! We enjoyed it a lot.

Jennifer M

Best ice cream ever! Never thought ice cream could taste so good! You can meet the cows too. Fast service.

Shanelle Noss

You have to try the Annie's Apple Pie with caramel... Yum!!!

Ashley Probasco

Very good I liked it best of the 3 fresh homemade ice cream spots I've been to in DE

Tom Oelschlaeger

Fantastic ice cream, locally made. Lots of flavors, friendly service. One scoop is about all most can eat.

Nathan Stanford

Ice Cream made right on the farm where the cows are that produce the milk used. Friendly Staff. Good portions. Highly recommend it. Check it out.

M Reaves

Update Aug. 2017 - ice cream is still incredibly delicious and I got the two biggest scoops for $4 that I've ever seen. Great, friendly service. I love this place. *** Great, fresh ice cream. The crowds are what stinks!

Anna Zorio

I love this place it is so good. They make their ice cream from the milk that their cows make. Ice cream here is AMAZING and their fudge is great too

Robert Reynolds

We stop on the way home from the beach. The joke is, save room for ice cream. Sometimes the cow smell is astounding, but ice cream is the best. Oh yeah , get the home made waffle cone.

Tammy Benton

Best homemade ice cream in our area. It's so creamy and the fruit ice cream taste so fresh.

Elaine Hochman

Best Ice cream ever so creamy and smooth. Many flavors to choose from. Staff is always terrific.

J c

Best homemade ice cream I've EVER had. My boyfriend and I are very glad we stopped on the way back to Arlington from Ocean City.

Nancy Archey

I go off my diet for Vanderwendes' coconut ice cream 🥰 Granddaughter chose pink and orange today (AKA cotton candy and orange pineapple) with grandpa and his chocolate ❣️ …

s a (75sue)

What a selection!! But be warned their serving sizes are huge!! The cows are right next to the shop too. We had a line of people but the workers are fast, friendly and got our orders perfect.

Chris Davidson

The ice cream is excellent. It is a must stop on way home from beach. Be careful, the sundae is huge!

Ellen Cameron

This place is so amazing!! Their ice cream and milkshakes are to die for, they sell amazing cheese (the pepperoni one is my favorite) and their chocolate milk is the best around!

Lynn Holthaus

The best smoothest milk shake I ever had! The wider sized straw is a stroke of genius. Awesome!!

Donald Lewis

Outstanding ice cream.

Kyle Prestel

Best ice cream I've ever had. Holy Cow! I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

SHADOW CREEK MUSIC (Jimmy)

The BEST ice cream EVER! Great service, talk about a dip for your buck! They got it! Im in love with Vanderwende!

Barbara Fleming

Absolutely, the best ice cream I've ever had. EXCELLENT!

Dan Nogueira

A must stop here on the way to the beach.

Kathy Kisela

Great ice cream and service.

Hakan Yavuz

Delish ice cream. Loved it

Great ice cream, generous portions... but they are too generous. It would be better if they offered a much, much smaller kid size portion

Nathan Watts

Best ice cream! Super accommodating to people that have allergies. 100% recommend.

Divad Harriz

Best ice cream that I have ever had, hands down. The cows are right there and clearly happy. Employees are efficient and kind.

The best made on site ice cream I have ever had in all of my life. There is often lines here but it is worth the wait!

Fred Blumenthal

Delicious ice-cream served in generous portions. Recommended stop going to or returning from the beach on Route 404!

The cookie dough ice cream could have used a little more cookie dough. But all the other flavors we tried were excellent and the customer service was even better.

Angelina McMahan

The icecream you will ever eat ❤

Carlos Mateo

Great ice cream and you get to see cows outside in front of the farm where they actually make their products. Milk cheese and ice cream. Loved it
