    The line in front says it all. We are all lined up in front waiting to order from the window. No my husband wanted a death by chocolate cone and I wanted to caramel toffee caribou. They only take cash, our cones for $10 and they were delicious we really enjoyed them.

    Be sure to bring cash - they are CASH ONLY. This spot gets your attention when you are waiting for your ferry. The place is close to the ferry boarding point. I went to check out this place while waiting for the ferry. I was worried about the long line. But the staff is quite quick and the line moved fast. Good collection of ice cream varieties to choose from. Paid 50 cents for the waffle cone. It was a regular tasty ice cream. (I am a diehard Tillamook ice cream fan. Oops!) Would definitely recommend to checkout the spot while waiting for your ferry.

    So many choices

    Super delicious ice cream....and over 70 flavors to choose from. We had marionberry cheesecake (oh, yeah), strawberry cheesecake with fudge (double yum) and a chocolate malted shake (oh, baby). We would go AGAIN! *WARNING- It's cash only, but lower prices than other ice cream places on San Juan. * Staff- super fast and nice, even with a long line down the sidewalk.

    From right 1. Death by Choclate 2.Pistachio almond 3.Huckleberry all three were amazing.

    AMAZING!!!!! 72 flavors to choose from. $3 for a kiddie scoop and $0.5 for a waffle cone is all that is needed to make you fall in love with this place. I had 1. Death by Choclate 2.Pistachio almond 3.Huckleberry all three were amazing.

    A quaint ice cream shop in the right location! We took the ferry over from Anacortes and after walking around for a bit, decided on an ice cream before boarding again. As I was in line, the lady in front of me said she's a regular and you can't go wrong on any flavors, since it's all freshly made. I sampled the blank cherry, the mango pistachio, before deciding on good old coffee, for that extra pick me up! Service is quick and friendly and everyone is happy happy with an ice cream in hand on a hot summer day.

    There are so many flavors to choose from. The ice cream is delicious but melts kind of quickly so you have to eat fast. The problem is that the place itself is way too cramped and small. It's really hard to get a good look at all the flavors before someone rushes to ask you what you want. My friend also said that the sugar cone is really hard. It might've been sitting out for too long. Who knows. Remember to bring CASH.

    Lopez island creamery ice cream

    Amazing Lopez island creamery ice cream ! So good toffee crunch and boysenberry swirl scoops

    So many flavors at convenient location right by the waterfront. Loved the mocha almond fudge.

    Maui Island sherbet and Coconut Pineapple ice cream

    I'm a little surprised at all the negative reviews for this place. It's in a perfect location right near the ferry dock. And the ice cream is GOOD! I had the coconut pineapple and it was so creamy and delicious that I had to come back and have it again before we left - yum! My boyfriend had the wild berry sorbet on our first visit and the Maui Island sherbet on our second - I tried bites of both and they were very tasty. Lines can be long and the high school employees aren't exactly the most friendly workers in town, but the ice cream is great, the long lines actually move pretty quickly, and the prices are reasonable.

    This is a really small place packed with delicious ice creams. So many flavors to choose from. I got a scoop of green tea and macadamia nut. Normally, I would go with coconut and pineapple. I tried it, but there was too much of the coconut taste and not so much of pineapple. Both flavors were good. The green tea one was better than my expectation. There was a lot of macadamia nuts in the macadamia one. They only take cash. I only sampled one flavor, coconut and pineapple. I asked to a girl for green tea sample as well, but she said they only allowed one sample per one customer at the time. Wonder why.

We stumbled across crèmecart at the Saturday Farmers' Market on Orcas Island. The two ladies who run the crèmecart, Michelle and Sommer, sound like they are regulars at the Saturday Farmers' Market, and other island locations as well. They rotate many cool ice cream flavors and cookie combinations. Their crèmecart Facebook page listed many enticing flavors, including: butter cookie and strawberry cheesecake ice cream; dark chocolate cookie and ginger ice cream; chocolate cookie with: salted caramel ice cream or coconut ice cream or chocolate ice cream; lemon cookie with: lavender ice cream or vanilla ice cream; gluten free almond cookie with vanilla or chocolate ice cream; and on July 4th, Apple Pie Ice Cream Sandies. How fun is that? So, like any food cart, crèmecart is seasonal, and moves around following the crowds. Thankfully, Orcas is a small island, and I promise you, they are worth searching for! Five Stars.

By the time I got there, lots of the ice cream sandwiches were sold out. All of the sandwiches are prewrapped and kept cold in the cart, so once they're gone... They're really gone. The cookie was nice and soft, but firm enough to stay together. The ice cream kept cold and didn't drip all over me. I was such a happy camper with my ice cream sandwich. I sure hope I run into this cart again!!

Very impressive little store full of tons of stuff! Groceries, pantry staples, a small produce section, some premade deli food and cookies. I was looking for the bakery items. A previous review mentioned delicious homemade pastries. Finally as I choose a cookie and a salad for later I see them. A small pedestal plate with pastries. And on the countertop behind the register tons of croissants! I said, there they are! The two ladies working were not impressed. I asked for the flavors and the lady said, there is a menu right there. Ugh, not fully awake I realized a line had formed behind me. This is the spot to go before getting in a ferry. The sign was not clearly visible and I felt overwhelmed with the decision so I quickly decided on a raspberry almond. This is clearly a place for locals. Everyone knows what they want and where it is. Not super friendly vibes, but oh well. Took photos of my purchases back in my gorgeous villa LOL, watch for my next review. Super happy to discover this market! And I love a good market! Happy travels. SYOY!
