HomeTown Creamery

We just discovered that there was a little ice cream shop just down the street from where Jackson goes to OT. Jackson and I went to scope it out last week after his appointment, and then got Paul to meet us there this week after work. The HomeTown Creamery is in a little strip mall in North Saint Paul, located at 2231 E 11th Ave, on the corner of McKnight and 11th Ave. It was a spacious shop, and I loved that they embraced the cows, with fun cow figurines in the shop. They make their ice cream on site and have 40+ flavors daily. Paul said they were selling their ice cream at the Red, White and Boom race, and I know they are at Marketfest in White Bear too, so who knows where else you might find them with so many festivals and such around.

The first time we went Jackson got Cookies'n Cream and I got Raspberry Krunch, and the next time I got Chocolate Chip and Paul got Blind Love. I love it when I can get a good simple chocolate chip ice cream full of mini-chocolate chips, and the Raspberry Krunch was so good with real raspberries, graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chunks. Paul thought the Blind Love was a great mix for him with oreo, chocolate, caramel and nuts. We all loved the flavors we tried and the ice cream was fantastic. It was so creamy and thick, you can tell it is good, fresh homemade ice cream. The kid's scoop is $2.85 and the scoop was a generous size. I was so impressed by the ice cream and the shop, it was a great local establishment. They make their own waffle cones, which makes the shop smell so good, and when we went Paul got a chocolate dipped sugar cone- love all those cone choices. HomeTown Creamery is my favorite place that we have been to so far, the ice cream was so delicious and they had a great variety of flavors both times we went. I have a feeling this may become a new favorite, which is not good since it is so close to OT. Their award winning, premium ice cream totally deserves those awards- Yum!
