Our Team’s Picks
Renée: The first place we brought #LittleBigE for ice cream was FRESH. She loves their strawberry. This has become a fun family outing to check out different flavors.
One of my favorites off the beaten track is Maple View Farm. It is worth the drive. My all-time favorite is Howling Cow, which brings back great memories of college and getting that at the student center. Now they have a gorgeous facility off Yates Mill Pond!
My go-to flavor every time, you can’t beat cookies and cream.
Jonathan: Vanilla base with Spanish peanuts, caramel, malt powder, and cookie dough from Goodberry’s Frozen Custard.
Kayla: I’m going with tried and true Goodberry’s Frozen Custard. It was always a treat to go to Goodberry’s when I was growing up and still is today. I would say my go-to would be vanilla custard with cookie dough and fudge. But my go-to flavor of the day is Jamocha with Oreos or banana pudding with Oreos.
Robin: Sunni Sky’s is the creamiest homemade ice cream with tons of flavors. My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter. I have sold three houses down that way this year and always schedule my showings and inspections when they are open!
Rebecca: Goodberry’s Frozen Custard is my favorite! Chocolate with strawberry and almonds, please!
