The Celtic Creamery provides reasonably priced ice cream that tastes absolutely phenomenal!read more

This review involves both Celtic Creamery and DoorDash…read more If you order from Celtic Creamery through DoorDash, be aware. My last two orders had major issues. On 6/4, my order arrived completely melted because the ice cream had leaked through a paper lunch bag after the containers weren't properly closed. I figured "mistakes happen" and let it go. However, my most recent order (6/23) arrived with only one of the three items I paid for ( on a $45+ order). I remember not too long ago when businesses took more ownership of problems like this. I know DoorDash can issue a partial refund, but that isn't really the point. I paid for a service and tonight when something went wrong, everyone just pointed somewhere else. The part I can't get past is that LITERALLY no one could tell me where the rest of my order went. Like, hello?! The driver said there were no additional bags. So I called Celtic Creamery and the guy on the phone said they had tried to tell him there were multiple bags as the dasher left (which I have a hard time believing when the dasher was a 5 star dasher with over 1k ratings.) But if that's true...then where did the other $27 of my order go? What surprised me even more was that NO ONE offered a practical solution. If the missing items were still at the shop, I would have gladly driven over to pick them up. Even something as simple as, "We're sorry. Come pick up the rest of your order, and here's a free scoop or a small gift card for the inconvenience," would have gone a long way toward keeping me as a customer. Instead, the conversation ended with little more than an apology and no real attempt to resolve what happened. A lack of ownership is what lost my business. While DoorDash shares *some* responsibility, these issues have happened with different drivers on multiple orders from Celtic Creamery, which makes me question the store's packaging and order verification process. If a business chooses to offer delivery, orders should be packaged securely and verified before they leave the store--especially when signature desserts cost $12 or more a piece. The ice cream itself is good. Our first order was excellent, which makes these last two experiences even more disappointing. Unfortunately, repeated problems with missing items, melted deliveries, and a lack of accountability mean I won't be ordering from Celtic Creamery again.

You can't find a better donut on the island! Really good and made to order. Friendly staff!read more

Ordered a dozen donuts, unfortunately kids and parents were disappointed. We were excited with the…read moreflavors , ordering mostly originals- French toast, maple bacon, lemon, cookies and cream, s'mores and then made 4 donuts custom flavors, chocolate glazed with m&ms, sprinkles, marshmallow swizzle, etc. The donuts were overfried- crisp darker brown on the outside and soft on the inside but almost oozing with oil. The donuts were small, it almost was like there wasn't enough doughnut for the amount of topping. We had been to OKI donuts on a previous vacation and were happy to see that it was the same owners. We were hoping for the same fantastic donuts. Disappointed that it fell short and especially that it was $29 for a dozen that nobody really wanted to even finish eating.

Great simple cone options for a decent…read moreprice (a small is about $3 and was plenty without being overkill or too little ---- dare I say 'just right'?!). They have cup options with toppings, everything looked fresh & clean. I love the idea of adding just a touch of flavor to a plain vanilla-twist (soft serve) cone, great little treat! This is not a 'gourmet' ice cream shop, just a quaint little soft-serve place on the boardwalk. And I appreciate not having to pay $8 for a little soft serve cone that had a great twist of flavor....was it 'epic'? no....but 'just right' ? Yesssssir. ;o)

Everything is so well labeled and the 3 ladies working were so unbelievably kind and informative. They encouraged me to try almost all the DF options and were excited to hear my thoughts. The flavors were super unique too, chili mango, honey lavender, etc and I honestly didn't think I'd like them but I loved every single one!! My husband was pretty pumped about the carrot cake flavor. We will definitely be back when visiting town. Thanks for making your place feel so inclusive!

Ok I get it now, and the 50 deep line wait was worth it. This place makes 1 thing: donuts. And it…read moremakes 1 style of donut only: fried, glazed and delicious. No frills, old school cash registers, cash only, but holy @#$% do they make an exceptional one! The prices are legit. Buck twenty five for one, $7 for half a dozen, and $13 for a dozen. We ordered half a dozen and when we got home we were pleasantly surprised to have 8 in the bag. Was this an error? I doubt it. Was it because of the wait? Highly doubt that again since there's always a wait. And $7 for 8 of these bad boys is a steal. And now for the actual donut... They are hand made so you get all different shapes and sizes. These puppies are pulled fresh from the fryer and served piping hot. They're covered in glaze, but not the kind that is thick and just sticks on top. It melts into every nook and cranny of the dough becoming a part of it. That first bite is warm buttery and sweet. You get the outer crisp and the softer delicate inner taste all at once. No frills, no toppings, no tricks, nothing. Just pure perfection. If you're in the area this is a must stop bucket list type of place. Don't worry about the line or the wait, it's worth it.

Like I said before my dogs have been inside your store for many years so you recently decided to follow a law that that is almost never implemented.

Not a big deal... there are Numerous stores and restaurants here in the island that welcome our dogs.
