The ice cream itself was great, and the portions were generous. The customer service from the staff was friendly as well. I also appreciate businesses that hire younger employees and give people what looks like their first opportunity in the workforce. The reason I'm only giving three stars is because there appeared to be an owner or manager who was constantly micromanaging the young employees. While I was checking out, a blonde woman with a baseball hat making cones aggressively corrected and criticized the staff in front of customers. It wasn't just giving direction, it came across as embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch; even comparable to downright bullying. Constructive feedback is important, but it should be done respectfully and when possible in private, but instead she openly berated them in front of customers as well as each other. The employees were doing their best, and the atmosphere would have been much more welcoming without that dynamic. I'd happily come back for the ice cream, but I hope the management style improves for the sake of both the staff and the customer experience. Hopefully this brings attention to the right people so it can be addressed on behalf of the staff. read more

Looking for a sweet treat on a warm day, we took a stop here after going to Sterling Tavern! It is right across the road in a convenient spot. Parking is a bit of a struggle in the area, and seating for the ice cream parlor is outside in the exit alley way. There were many bench's out for customers to sit, but the fill up quickly! It seems as though they always have a line and the place is very popular, rightfully so! The icecream was thick and well made. The consultancy of the cake batter and cookie dough icecream were different but not bad! The employees were nice and had the line moving quickly! I really enjoyed the richness of the icecream and how spot on the cake batter flavour was! It would be nice if there was inside seating and more parking! read more

They just have really good ice cream! The counter folks are very polite and have no problem offering samples of the varied flavors. I usually always order what I sampled. This visit was the Bourbon Caramel Crunch. The decor is Beachy and cozy at this location. It is a very narrow building. They have a garden like seating area in the side alley. The waffle cones are made fresh and they are delicious! read more

This ice cream is simply amazing. We have been to dozens of these types of ice cream venues all around Maryland, Pennsylvania D.C and Virginia. This place is near the very top. Just simply delicious whatever flavor you get. Very good service and many outdoor seats to enjoy. read more

Some of the best ice cream I've had in a while! Classic mom and pop, rich and creamy dessert. They make the flavors in house and the chocolate peanut butter flavor was unbelievable! The peanut butter and jelly wasn't my favorite, so would skip that one next time but will definitely be back to try more flavors. read more

Ice cream and service is extremly dominant. One of the best places to go to! 5/5 for sure. read more

This place has absolutely delicious ice cream! It may seem like a great place to stop on your way to Ocean City and that would be a mistake. The reason I say this is if you stop here first, as we did, then you'll be disappointed by ANY ice cream place at the beach. However, if you stop there on the way home from the beach, as we did, then you'll get great ice cream while still being able to appreciate the likes of Dumsers. Anyway, I loved their butter pecan. It had large chunks of pecans in just about every spoonful and the ice cream had a lovely buttery sweet pecan flavor. I also liked the pairing of their coconut and orange cream ice creams. On the flip side, I wasn't crazy about their rum raisin and I guess you can't like everything. The consistent themes across all the flavors I tried was richness, creaminess, and full, natural flavors. And, thinking back, it may not be that the rum raisin was bad as much as that I liked the other flavors so much more. read more

An outstanding ice cream shop in Berlin, MD that's highly deserving of the Yelp 2025 Top 100 Ice Cream stores in the US! I recently went to Island Creamery on a weekend trip with my wife and loved my experience. We went in the middle of the day, which I highly advise, as the line gets long on summer weekend evening. We were able to order immediately and were able to sample a couple of flavors. Island Creamery has over 30 flavors, including more than 10 season flavors. I got the chocolate peanut butter and caramel bourbon in a chocolate waffle cone. The scoops were so big that Island Creamery put the cone in a paper bowl so they didn't fall. The price was incredibly affordable (less than $8 total including tax and tip), and the ice cream was phenomenal. The scoops were rich and creamy, loaded with flavor, and perfectly blended. The homemade chocolate waffle cone was fresh, crunchy, and loaded with chocolate flavor and hints of cinnamon. I would highly recommend Island Creamery if you're visiting Assateague Island or Ocean City (20 minutes away from both)! read more

Impossibly cute ice cream shop in an impossibly cute town! The service is always friendly and patient. The flavors never disappoint. You can ask to try flavors too, so definitely check out signatures like Pony Tracks and Salt Marsh. Allergen note: They offer vegan vanilla, as well as some dairy free sorbet flavors (blue raspberry is a hit). Don't forget the homemade waffle cones! I love their little outside side seating area. With faux palm trees, string lighting, and colorful seating. It's a must when we're in town. read more

The service is terrible. The kids behind the counter have no personality and are so rude. They need customer service training.

I heard about this place on the radio and decided to try it out and it was phenomenal. I have tried ice cream everywhere I go and this place is at the top of the list, the 1st time I tried it I went there 3 days in a row it's that good. read more

Great ice cream. Great customer service. Couldn't ask for anything else. Prices were reasonable too.

Huge servings! So many options! I loved the black raspberry that I ordered as well as the salted caramel. This is a place where you just have to go to when you are in Berlin. There's always room for ice cream! read more

Amazing ice cream! I got the salted caramel. Fabulous! My fiancé got the chocolate and dropped his cone on the way out the door. He went back in expecting to have to buy another one, but they gave him another one for free! I thought that was so nice of them. They were very nice. The restaurant was very clean. I would go back read more

Big servings for the price, great options, quick and courteous service, some unique flavors, good dairy free ice cream as well. Small, tight space, and parking in the general area can be tough at times (though it's really not impossible if you don't mind walking a bit), but as long as you're ready for those things you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious flavors and ample selection! The service was fast and friendly, even with some slower customers in front of us trying a million flavors and not being super timely with actually paying once they got rung up. The outdoor area is super cute with ample seating, and they've done a good job of making sure you have a plate with your melting ice cream to keep the area (and you) mess free. The whole town seemed to be suffering from flies when we visited--not the business' fault--but it did make sitting outside less enjoyable! read more

Absolutely the best ice cream around. Homemade with a large variety of innovative flavors such as Whiskey Brittle. Very pleasant staff. Worth a try. read more

Refreshing, creamy, home made ice-cream. There's a good variety and the ice cream isnt too sweet. Oreo and salted bourbon are pretty good. Snickers cheesecake is a little sweeter than the bourbon and butter pecan is better than a lot of home made venues. Yiu can add additional nuts if preferred. Attentive, friendly service in a cute, tidy space. read more

Small place with a little but our outdoor seating only. Ice cream was great, would return.

Everything about this place is great. Food 100% prices are great , place is clean along with any kinda question they got ur answer

I went to the Salisbury location in Maryland and the Java jolt was absolutely the best flavor ice cream I have ever tried in my life. I drove 43 miles just to get this and I will do it again. I wish they had one closer in Lewis, Delaware seriously folks you have got to try this ice cream place Definitely will not disappoint. read more

Staying in Ocean City, but took the drive to Berlin, MD and found this ice cream shop. Very pleasant staff, generous serving of ice cream and also very delicious. read more

Great flavors with great portions for a great price! Lots of unique flavors to choose from. Ice cream was super creamy and I was pleasantly surprised how much I received with my order. Enjoyed key lime pie and Java, which both had extra chunks to add to the taste and consistency (graham chunks in key lime and fudge/brownie and little java chocolate beans in the other). Would absolutely go back and recommend! read more

How have I never reviewed this place?! Every time I visit my sister in ocean city l, I make sure to come here. The absolutely nuts is my favorite. Their captain crunch special is also a top favorite when they have it. Best ice cream! read more

Great ice cream in a charming little town. We've been twice and will keep it on the ice cream rotation destination list.

During our re-visit to Berlin on a Monday, all the tea and dessert eateries were either closed or the one that opened closed at 3 pm. So, we visited Island Creamery which had milkshakes (they will make them thin on request) and so many flavors of ice-cream. We had a strawberry milkshake and single scoop sundae with vanilla ice-cream. Generous portions which we could not finish. Strong recommendation and plus for the owner diversity hiring. read more

Amazing ice cream! I'm in love. I'm a huge fan of locally made ice cream. Almost every flavor here is delicious. There is a cute little alley area to stay and enjoy your ice cream. The service was friendly and speedy. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Island Creamery is a nice local spot in Downtown Berlin. They have a large selection of different ice cream flavors. I tried the Snickers cheesecake and it was vanilla ice cream with a swirl of caramel and peanuts. I ordered one scoop and it was a very large portion! Worth the price and pleasantly surprised. It definitely is a nice place to visit and it's also clean. It's a small place but there's definitely enough seating outdoors to enjoy a nice treat. read more

Gary and Grant from the TV repair place suggested we stop here after chatting with them a bit, and we're glad that we did. Excellent ice cream and nice portion for the price! Lots of fun flavors, though it makes it hard to choose, and the girls working were the absolute sweetest. Would definitely stop back! read more

Located right on the Eastern Shore, Island Creamery sits in a neighborhood where time has stopped still. Charming antique stores and soda shops line the streets, but this family-owned ice cream shop should be everyone's first stop when visiting Chincoteague. The ice cream is made in small batches daily using the buttermilk from Lancaster Cows so the result is rich and creamy. Locally grown fruit and other premium goodies are mixed in for an addictive treat that you just stop eating. I went for one scoop of their Iced Nirvana (Espresso ice cream with chocolate chunks and fudge swirl) in a waffle cone and was met with about fifty baby scoops tucked in a freshly baked cone. It was absolute perfection! At $4.75 per waffle cone, it's a great price considering what you get. Service is phenomenal, you are met with a smile as soon as you walk in and you will be sure be smiling when you walk out -- this place just brings feelings of happiness all around. They also take allergies seriously -- one girl in the party behind me had a peanut allergy so they made sure to use a fresh scooper in a new ice cream tub just for her. Tastings are also highly encouraged, my second favorite flavor is the pineapple upside down cake. It was so unique and tropical tasting! The store is small but they have a brightly decorated alley way next to the store with plenty of chairs for you to enjoy your treat. Happy eating! read more

Best ice cream on the eastern shore. Love all the flavors I've tried so far and all the little tastes.

On the road to Assateague or Ocean City, you can find a local ice cream shop serving unique and delicious flavors for the whole family (including your pup). We came here for a sweet tooth night cap after dinner and beers @ Burley Oak, best decision ever! They are vegan, gluten-free friendly with bold flavors as well as classics for their whole family. We had the Island Mud which is your classic milk chocolate and I had the cantaloupe. The "mud" was fantastically creamy perfect with whipped cream and cherry. The cantaloupe was the standout! Fresh tastin thanks to the ever present ripe fruit flavor, and at the same time creamy! Reminds me of the melona bars if you know what I'm talking about! Perfectly balanced! The best part of it was the excellent service we received! Despite the long line and orders coming through on Saturday night, the young ladies moved fast to sling ice cream!! They were very sweet and patient! Even offered my pup a pup cone!! Love it!! Tips: accepts card and cash! Parking in mostly empty lot just a block away. No street parking. Masks are required inside of the shop! Social distancing was observed! They also have chairs and tables outside in the alleyway! read more

Very good ice cream. Peanut Butter chocolate was very rich and had a great texture. Very large portion. The only seating is outside in a small alley. read more

Island Creamery sets the standard for an amazing ice cream experience. The flavors range from some of the reliable, like vanilla, to some of the more creative, like Absolutely Nuts (praline ice cream with caramel swirl and a bunch of chopped nuts - really good!). My wife and I were in the mood to splurge, so we tried the Round Up sundae which allows for up to five different scoops and we could try a whole bunch of flavors. It was all delicious. My favorite was probably Cherries Jubilee, with cherries soaked in brandy (it was definitely noticeable, but not overpowering). In times of COVID-19, they are doing a great job to keep clientele safe. A board with all flavors and combinations was outside the entrance. We were greeted at the door by a masked young lady who took our order. She was able to surreptitiously signal to her coworkers during the whole time and so they could get everything ready faster. They ushered us in to pay, then had us wait in the alley where there are marked off seats socially-distant waiting. Only a few moments of waiting and they came out with our ice cream. The order was fast, the ice cream delightful, and the service super friendly and safe. I can't wait to go back! read more

Very nice small ice cream parlor with a good selection of unique flavors. I appreciate they have one entrance door on the street and an exit on the side alley way where there is outdoor seating. Keeps the flow going. They have a variety of options of what you can get although when I was there their blenders were out of order so no milkshakes. I don't know if they make the flavors on the premises, but I got the feeling that they do, which always makes for great ice cream. read more
