Do you make your own ice cream?

Yes! All of our ice cream is made on-site using only the finest ingredients. It contains 14% butterfat, which gives it that extra creamy texture. We also use locally made Wilbur Chocolates for our chocolate-based ice cream flavor, and all of our stir-ins are top of the line when it comes to quality and taste.

Do you make your own waffle cones?

Yes, we make our waffle cones, waffle bowls and one of our favorite toppings – waffle crunchies! You can see them being made right before your eyes. We have 10 waffle irons in the creamery, and during the summer they work extra hard every single day to make the fresh cones and bowls. The best part is the delicious aroma that fills the creamery as they are being cooked.

Do you have your own dairy?

No, we do not have our own cows out back, but we do work with a local dairy to provide our creamy ice cream ingredients.

What are the most popular ice cream flavors?

We have over 24 flavors of ice cream available every day at the creamery. While we always carry our customers’ favorites, we also feature 8 special flavors that vary depending on the season.

Pumpkin, Candy Cane, Eggnog and Ginger Snap only appear around the holidays. During the summer, we are always whipping up fresh fruit concoctions as well. Look for these exciting different flavors – and more! – to show up periodically throughout the year.

What is Teaberry?

A teaberry is a small berry that grows on hillsides. In 1900, a brand of chewing gum was created using this subtle minty-berry flavor. This pink-wrapper classic is sold in our penny-candy section of the Candy Kitchen. Our ice cream flavor was created to mimic this classic gum product, and it has a slightly sweet and minty taste.

Can I take home the ice cream from Strasburg Creamery?

Yes! We sell our ice cream by the quart for you to take home to your friends and family. If we are having a busy day serving freshly dipped scoops to customers, it may take awhile to scoop your to-go container, as we always dip our ice cream fresh. However, you are welcome to give us a call and place your order, so we can have it ready for you when you arrive.
