Our first ice cream stop on the way the the Broadkill Beach, DE : Vandwerwende Farm, Greenwood, DE. It came recommended, and it didn’t disappoint. Monday afternoon was a great time, before the evening crowds. Maple walnut, butter pecan. I bought a bottle of blueberry balsamic dressing, and I left it on the window ledge.
Then, we also tried:
Hopkins Farm Creamery. Milton, DE. You can see the cows, and there’s a nice picnic area / playground. Strawberry cheesecake, which was bright pink with cream-cheese and graham cracker chunks. I didn’t get what I ordered, but the coconut and chocolate banana was a good choice – even if it was Jeanne’s pick, and not mine.
Marigold Creamery. Lewes, DE. Also recommended, by Annie this time. Cute, food-truck like venue along the bike path. Sunny picnic tables so you can wave to the bikers. Banana Honey Oat (WWT), Counter Culture Coffee Toffee Almond Crunch (AT), Lemon Frozen Yogurt with Bennett’s Blueberry Swirl (MT). Wooden spoons.
King’s Homemade Ice Cream, Lewes, DE. Homemade ice cream since 1972. Also a shop in Milton, DE. Fresh butterfat milk from a local dairy is poured into two 10 gallon batch freezers. Flavors enjoyed: Butter Brickle, Coconut.
Before the trip:
Dolcezza is a gelato & coffee shop. Dupont Circle. Washington, DC. After a family dinner at Bistrot Du Coin, a French restaurant that’s been there for 20+ years. Gelato was perfect after seafood, steak and pommes frites. Locally sourced ingredients. Great gelato texture. Coffee was better at Bustrot Du Coin, however – but it is a an ice cream shop.
