Are you an ice cream lover looking for a great place to grab a cone? In this episode of Give, Work, Play, we’re going to visit The Creamery in Old Town Alexandria to try some of their delicious ice cream flavors. From Mint Chocolate Chip to Coffee Oreo, this local business has something for everyone.

Homemade Ice Cream At The Creamery

The Creamery has been a downtown Alexandria, VA staple since 1984, the oldest continuously open ice cream shop in the area. Opened by Charlie and Lynne Lindsey, this ice cream shop is still family-owned and churns out delicious, handcrafted ice cream in a variety of flavors. From my favorite—Mint Chocolate Chip—to one of the most popular, Oreo, old-fashioned ice cream flavors are combined with new and innovative tastes. Aside from its signature scoops, The Creamery also has homemade, soft-serve custard that’s a fan favorite. 

Every ice cream and custard recipe is crafted and created in-house, with 32 flavors in continuous rotation. There are also seasonal flavors that are especially popular, like Butterscotch, Maple, and Pumpkin for fall. Depending on the flavor, each batch takes 8-12 minutes to mix up, ready for a bowl or cone as the perfect sweet treat.

The shop itself is also a cute, relaxing place to sit in or outside and enjoy a scoop. In winter it’s a bit slower, while the summer surge brings more flavors and customers to their doors. Regardless of the season, however, ice cream is always a good idea.

We All Scream For Ice Cream!
