Love this creamery and all of its fresh flavors :-) a definite Must when visiting the island!

The owner of this place is rude and very unwelcoming. Argued with me while I was eating a cone outside. Made my friend drop his cone. No apology. Just kept nagging to move off the sidewalks. Visitors to the island on a holiday weekend give her bottom line a boost I'm sure with the exorbitant prices. read more

The staff here are very kind. My toddler tripped and fell on the sidewalk outside and started crying, and the lady came running out with an ice cream for him. Not sure if she is the owner or just someone who works there but it was very kind of her. We were running late so couldn't stop in for more, but I tried his ice cream and it tasted great. We will stop in if we are in the neighborhood again. read more

Had yet another incredible experience at this Orcas Island favorite. I stop by here every time I'm in Eastsound and I am never let down. April and her staff are such a delight. They let me sample all of their new flavors and are so generous with their scoops. The ice cream is also top notch and made with local ingredients! The sprinkle bar is my favorite. Unlimited sprinkles for $0.99! Couldn't ask for more! Try the Mountain Lake Mint or the Deer Harbor Crunch read more

This creamery had just opened when my friends and I visited a couple of weekends ago. Our timing could not have been more perfect! We got there right when it opened and there was no line. We were able to taste samples of the ice cream, which was great because it was so hard to choose between all the amazing flavors! I ended up getting the chocolate peanut butter and it was out of this world!! SO creamy and delicious. The flavors were fabulous and the ice cream was extra cold, which was awesome on a warm, sunny day. The staff was very friendly and nice and the prices were fair. If I lived on Orcas, I'd be back ASAP! Instead, I will have to await my next visit.... read more

The ice cream looked delicious. Too bad I won't know since the woman with short hair behind the counter was awful and discriminatory. I came in with a face covering and she denied me because it wasn't an actual mask. She made a huge deal out of it and said I had to leave unless I got an actual mask. Nevermind that the people in front of me had on bandanas. The guys behind me in line said "I wouldn't get ice cream from her if I were you" and I said "you're right...I won't" and so we left. This absurdity and lack of common sense has to stop! read more

Charged me $6 for a kids scoop with waffle cone because supposedly you can't get a kids scoop in a waffle cone... AFTER THEY GAVE ME A KIDS SCOOP IN A WAFFLE CONE. Uh ok, I think it's possible. Offered to give me a regular scoop of ice cream (what they charged me for), but unless they want me to have a lactose explosion in their store, I don't want it. Either the scoopers need to know the store policies better or they should have charged me for exactly what I got, which should have been $4. Ice cream was good; I got the road repair (chocolate ice cream with walnuts and marshmallows). Service was very slow, but I chalk that up to being new. Maybe they can figure out the whole customer service thing with time. read more

Disappointing ice cream. Lacks flavor, not creamy, a bit icy. We were anticipating a better ice cream cone after waiting in line.

Great ice cream shop. Delicious ice cream and a really nice little spot to enjoy it.The staff is very friendly and there are so many ice cream flavor options. Nothing like a tasty treat to end the day! read more

Great after dinner treat from Lopez island in Eastsound. New shop in town with creamy treats for everyone. The waffle cones are made fresh right in front of you if that is how you like your ice cream... read more

The ice cream is good but service was horrible. Worst part is we were served by the owner who was ready to close shop an hr earlier than posted just cuz it's Sunday. Not inviting at all. If you're looking for ice cream, they have lots of yummy flavors, if you want a dessert served by someone warm and friendly, look elsewhere. read more

This ice cream place is so nice! The owner was so sweet and gave us all fudge sauce without us even having to ask and overall it was great service. The ice cream was really delicious and I definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

I work in ice cream and I was really disappointed in the service I received here. It took longer than anticipated to be acknowledged by an employee, which I do understand sometimes that just happens, but we had been ignored and passed over already at least once. I ordered my scoops on a cone which were not fully formed and hollow in the middle, and they were not securely fashioned on the cone. The woman who checked me out made a comment about this but offered nothing to help. My top scoop proceeded to fall off less than 30 seconds after leaving the store. I didn't have the heart to ask for another because of the service received. The prices are also ridiculously high, in my opinion. $4 for a single scoop of ice cream. I did like the ice cream served however was very disappointed in the service. I do not plan to return. read more

Great place to get a quick bite to eat and a coffee. We split a chili and ham/tomato/cheese which were SO good, and then stopped back post-hike for a dessert coffee and ice cream. So yummy! read more

So slow. 4 people working here and only one guy serving ice cream with a line out the door. Took us 20 minutes to serve us. The owner is stacking cones when theres already like 100 cones on the counter. Another guy is outside wiping chairs and the cashier is just leaning on the counter while 1 guys serves 20 people in line. On a positive note the ice cream was great but after all that and not feeling like they cared i didnt want it anymore. Need to organize or train better because it seemed like no on knew what they were doing. read more

What an amazing experience! Despite freezing temps and slushy snow, ice cream was much needed to end our day trip to the island. April assisted us enthusiastically and recommended the perfect option for our little boy, my husband and myself. She even keeps kids step stools on hand for little ones to see the ice cream tubs. Wonderful service, beautiful shop. Thank you! read more

The best ice cream place in town!! April always has a smile on her face and makes the best root beer floats ever!! Ice cream is always super yummy!! The summer assistants are always great and very friendly!! Overall awesome place!! read more

The woman who greeted us (I assume the owner) was super pleasant and offered us multiple tastings--always part of the fun. Ultimately, I went for a split scoop with the Blueberry and Salty "Ditch" ice creams. I would've liked a bit more salt in the latter, but the first option was divine. I love that the berries are sourced from local purveyors in Washington. If I find myself back on Orcas I would definitely stop in for a scoop again. read more

Wonderful little shop, they try to do things local. Pleasant staff and great environment. Best salted Carmel ice cream ever. Waffle cone smells from being from freshly made right there at the counter too! Definitely recommend. read more

Delicious ice cream and very welcoming atmosphere. Great for an afternoon sweet treat!!

Best place for ice cream in town, hands down. If you like sweets it's a must stop. Fun flavors and atmosphere.

JUST left Clever Cow! My husband and I have been before and love it. The ice cream is creamy (not icy) and they use locally sourced ingredients. But it gets better. This was our first time with our four year old daughter. Our four year old has severe food allergies and rarely gets to have ice cream out. And has NEVER had ice cream with a cone in an ice cream shop until tonight at Clever Cow Creamery! April was so kind, hospitable and genuinely excited for our little one as she enjoyed every single bite! Our daughter ordered 2 flavors - mango and lemon sorbet with a cone. She is deathly allergic to all nuts, dairy, eggs and seeds. Tonight to eat ice cream together as a family is a memory we will never forget. Thank you Clever Cow Creamery! Thank you April! Can't wait to come back again - all three of us. Ice cream. You scream. We ALL scream for Clever Cow Creamery Ice Cream! read more

My son is their "number one fan" for good reason...they serve a wide selection of Lopez Island Creamery ice cream, have good sized portions, and friendly service. The owner cares about the community and the customers, and this is reflected in the overall vibe of Clever Cow. read more

The ice cream is good here, but not unique. Just because you have a funny name for chocolate, doesn't mean you came up with a new flavor. The waffle guy is friendly. Root beer floats are extremely overpriced, but the ice cream is decently priced. read more

Delicious ice cream with unique flavors. Staff is wonderful and super friendly. I eat a LOT of ice cream and this is definitely up there on my list. read more

Delicious vegan options here! April was very warm and welcoming and we plan to come stop by again! Thank you

Fabulous ice cream. I had the ginger ice cream and my partner had licorice in a waffle cone. Super yummy and the owner was very friendly and helpful. read more

Delicious ice creams with unique flavors and wonderful customer service at the cute little shop on Orcas. The woman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer..she even made sure my friend got all his milk shake out of the silver container. Had a delicious waffle cone with cherry amaretto and "London fog" aka earl grey, and they were creamy and wonderfully balanced flavors. My friends got a sundae and malt shake, respectively, and they couldn't have been happier. My only regret is not trying more flavors when I had the chance! read more

Fresh, clean ice cream shop just opened 3 days ago. The owner is so kind and they even have a half-scoop of gourmet ice cream for $2! Amazing flavors are worth the trip. read more

Spent the summer (they opened June 1st) testing the product, and found lots to love. They care about the product, even if something I like one week isn't available the next, there's plenty to try out. The long lines from the summer are gone, and the interior is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Now it's Fall, and those clever folks expanded into a line of soups. The tomato-basil-gorgonzola is a keeper, just missing it's cornbread or baguette to accompany. Of course, there is the grilled cheese, so we're thrilled, and pleased! read more

Not worth the wait. Manager (owner??) with the short blonde hair is rude. I agree with all the other complaints about her.

I ordered a mango sorbet. When I got outside and took a bite it was unfortunately flavorless. It almost tasted like sugar and water. I went back in after having taken a bite and said that I really wasn't happy with the ice cream choice and asked if I could exchange it for a different one. The young girl behind the counter gave me a look and asked me if I had eaten the ice cream. I stated that yes I did take a bite and that I was not happy with it. She then proceeded to try for herself the mango and told me that she felt the mango tasted fine. She asked me what exactly I wanted. I explained again that I would like to just simply get a different flavor of ice cream and she told me that she would only be willing to give me half of what I had a previously ordered and paid for in a different flavor, or I was welcome to buy a new ice cream entirely. She literally was splitting hairs over a couple of dollars and willing to tell me that my experience with the ice cream was not true, instead of just issuing me a new ice cream. I found it to be pretty bizarre and I'm not sure why a business would not seek to correct the issue and make a better experience for the customer by just getting them a different ice cream scoop. Not good business. I got my "half" replacement in disbelief and the strawberry flavor was pretty good, but will not be returning after this strange nickel and diming. read more

We were excited to try this well recommended ice cream shop for our first visit to Orcas Island, but after getting ice cream there the past two nights we will not be returning. The service is lacking in even mild friendliness and after my kids put the toppings in their cones, "above the tray" as instructed, there was still a small mess, which was cleaned up right in front of us with the explanation to other staff members "just a minute, have a clean up here on isle 5" all for sprinkles on a tray. Overall, passive aggressive attitude and expensive ice cream, no thanks. read more

Best ice cream in town! Lots of great flavors to choose from, and nice space to relax while eating your ice cream. Thanks!

Delicious ice cream and friendly service! Observed COVID protocols in a respectful way and helped guests feel safe.

Fresh and clever... Love the truffle turtle back

This is a wonderful ice cream place! the owner was so compassionate and talkative during the process of ordering and checking out. would absolutely recommend to a friend. read more

Delicious local ice cream. Service worked really well with kids. A bit pricey, but good for a one time treat.

Excellent ice cream, coffee and service! Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Try the espresso with a scoop of ice cream!

Wicked good treats summer and winter!
