ABOUT US

A BRIEF HISTORY OF ISLAND CREAMERY
Started in 1975 by Bob & Nancy Conklin, parents of the current owners, Kelly and his wife Robin, Island Creamery continues to serve delicious frozen treats to locals and visitors alike. The original part of the building was once a pool hall and located across from the Fire House downtown on Chincoteague Island.
The Conklins moved the building to the current Maddox Blvd. location in the Spring of 1975 and opened a candy store known as Mr. Chocolate. Ice Cream was added to the menu the following year. Island Creamery has been renovated and added onto through the years and now is instantly recognizable by the lighthouse portion of the building. We now offer indoor and outdoor deck seating. Cole Conklin, Drew Conklin, Jen (his fiancée) and Courtney Conklin are the third generation of family members dedicated to keeping the quality and spirit of Island Creamery alive.

All of our ice cream is homemade in small batches. We start with fresh cream and milk from local cows, add locally grown fruits or goodies from our kitchen and spin them in our American made Emery Thompson batch freezer. The end result is the freshest and hopefully most delicious ice cream you’ll find anywhere. We’d like to introduce some of our most popular ice cream flavors. Bourbon Caramel Crunch is bourbon ice cream with caramel swirls and Heath Bar toffee pieces. Pony Tracks is a vanilla ice cream with homemade hot fudge, peanut butter cups and peanut butter. Marsh Mud is our super rich double chocolate ice cream. Java Jolt is a strong coffee ice cream with homemade brownie chunks and chocolate covered coffee beans.
Kids love our Cotton Candy Party flavor and our Birthday Cake flavor made from cake batter ice cream with homemade buttercream swirl and rainbow sprinkles. We also offer vegan and sugar free flavors at all of our locations.
We also make delicious homemade sorbets throughout the year. Some of our seasonal flavors include Strawberry Sorbet in the spring, Orange Juice Sorbet in the summer and Apple Cider Sorbet in the fall.
Here is a list of the year-round and seasonal flavors we serve at all three locations. To view our current offerings, please visit the "Menu" tab at the top of the page!
