    Raspberry sorbet with marshmallows
    Kaitlyn D.

    If you want favors, they have flavors. Absolutely love their raspberry sorbet! I get it topped with marshmallows. It's so good!!! They have every flavor you could ever imagine. Very quick service!

    Elephant Ears, Rainbow Sprinkles

    Atmosphere: Edgewood Creamery is a quaint, old-fashioned ice cream shop with a plethora of flavor offerings. Service: Our server was happy to provide us with samples. Food: We tried and were indifferent to a couple of the holiday flavors, and ultimately landed on the Elephant Ears with sprinkles. We liked the soft peanut butter pieces, and the vanilla ice cream was nice and sweet. Overall: Edgewood Creamery is a convenient ice cream option in the Edgewood area. However, we think we were overcharged (or the math didn't really add up) -- our scoop in a cup was $4, and with sprinkles ($1.25, which we thought was also way overpriced), our total should have been just under $6 with tax. However, we were charged $6.28. Not to count our pennies, but we were just a bit shocked that a single scoop with sprinkles was over 6 bucks. The shop was cute, but probably not worth the price we paid.

    Always love the ice cream. I have not been disappointed any time I've come. This visit I got a waffle bowl with "C" is for cookie and Strawberry cheesecake ice creams. Very good! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Plus it's like 2 minutes from home! I definitely recommend anyone, all ages to try them out!

    Wonderful ice cream with really helpful and kind employees. A ton of variety and really sweet atmosphere (pun intended)! I would recommend this over The Big Spoon.

    Special Praline and German Chocolate (so frozen it was hard to even eat sadly)
    Parker S.

    Call me crazy but im giving a dessert place only 3 stars. I have been to several ice cream places around Birmingham and Edgewood was a disappointment to me. Both "Bluff Park Ice Cream Shop" and "Big Spoon Creamery" are absolutely jaw droopingly good, and you can really tell they are proud of what they are serving you! I was excited to see that Edgewood had German Chocolate and a Praline flavor. But after digging in, the ice cream was so hard and frozen it was almost inedible. When I finally got the chance to eat it.... It had ice crystals all throughout it. Dont get me wrong, it was still sugary goodness but maybe this was just the wrong day to come. Overall, I might be back due to all the nice restaurants around the area, but I wont seek this place out like I would Bluff Park or Big Spoon

    Best ice cream in Birmingham! Friendly service and open until 10:30pm! Red velvet and midnight chocolate are my favorite flavors!

    Delicious butter pecan and pistachio ice  cream.
    Ruchi G.

    This is one of my favorite ice cream spots in Birmingham, AL. They have such unique flavors and so many options! I love the German Chocolate Cake and butter pecan. There are a numerous variety for all the chocolate lovers as well as peanut butter and fruity flavors. A must go spot!

    First time here
    Val W.

    I stopped in here tonight with some fellow Yelpers after a Yelp event. The inside is really cute. The employees were friendly and helpful. One of the gentlemen asked me if I wanted to try anything. I told him I wanted to try the Praline ice cream and it was phenomenal. My only issue is that I should not be eating ice cream this late, but it was so worth the calories I didn't need. I only got one scoop and it was more than enough for me. The ice cream is thick, which is what I prefer. My first time visit has definitely left a good impression on me. When I'm in Homewood and I have a taste for ice cream, I'll stop by again. I suggest you do the same!

    Cute ice cream shop! I loved the decor in here! It's in downtown Homewood near Saws on the same side. Staff were really nice. We were able to try a bunch of flavors. I settled for the mint fudge or something like that. Forgot the name! But it was great! I would definitely get that again. There were a lot of unique flavors as well as the standards. And if you like chocolate, there were lots of different chocolate flavors. Lots of sundaes and shakes. Great service, great ice cream

    Cookie dough ice cream in a waffle cone
    Samantha H.

    I have tried a few different popular ice cream places in the Birmingham area and this is my favorite so far. The shop itself is cute. As soon as you walk in, you can smell freshly baked waffles being made for the waffle cones. They have lots of ice cream flavors. I ended up getting the chocolate chip cookie dough in a waffle cone. The ice cream is delicious and SO creamy. I'm not a big waffle cone person but figured I'd had to try it since they smelled so good. The waffle cones are the best, you have to get your ice cream in one. If you're looking for ice cream, definitely try this place.

    Another picture of the MANY flavors they have available

    So good!! No wait and they had Superman ice cream! The person behind the counter was quick to help us, and they allowed us to try different flavors.

    Coffee. Sherbet. Peppermint.

    11/9/17 THEY'VE BEEN REDEEMED!!!!!!!!!! Came over on a hope and prayer without calling after work and omg it's here. Apparently the owner saw my review and found me some rainbow sherbert. I will forever think he got it back in just for me. Lol. Thanks you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. RAINBOW SHERBERT FOR THE LACTOSE INTOLERANT CHIC. I tried Kese's Daiquiri Ice and it was delicious as well but not even to switch over. Happy Camper. Thanks for giving me a complimentary scoop also just adds to why I think you guys Rock!!!!!!!!!! 2.2.18 I love when they have my sherbert. Delicious as always

    Ice cream cakes

    The second you walk through the door you are greeted with the incredible smell of fresh baked waffle cones......Wow! Simply smells amazing! Absolutely love how they have designed the restaurant. Using 2 x 4's for the tables, benches, and tables. Really creative and makes them stand out (see pics). Awesome staff that is more than willing to give sample after sample until the people you are with can finally decide what they want (really, that wasn't me). They have a total of 40 flavors, and trust me on this one chocolate lovers, you won't be disappointed with the selection that awaits you. Get your ice cream in a cup or a cone, or change it up and get it as a shake. Topping to complete your order or maybe a cookie to go with it. These guys have a really good thing going here. Give them a shot.....or maybe 40, I mean it's really only fair to try all the flavors right?

Unique flavors, classic flavors, the smell of fresh waffle cones inside. Big Spoon does a ton of business, as they should. The location here in Avondale is great, but not super walkable from any really good restaurants. I would love to see them open another spot on 2nd Ave. I had the strawberry tres leches in a waffle cone and it was delicious. I appreciate the care and craft that went into making sure every bit down to the bottom of the cone had ice cream in it. 10/10.

    The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.
