Searching out some sun on a 60* Friday, we stumbled upon Vanilla Bean Creamery in Shipshewana,…read moreIndiana. We were immediately drawn to the kid friendly, modern feel of this establishment equipped with a kids play house, picnic tables, and a handmade connect four game. The ice cream shoppe is mom and pop owned. They make all their ice cream themselves from the farm's milking cows. I had the mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone and felt the price was more than fair at $3.50 for a large single scoop. It hit the spot during the balmy afternoon and energized us to explore this quaint Amish/ Mennonite village. 3 cheers for Vanilla Bean Creamery!

I have been places where there is wayyyy too much emphasis on the salt of the salted caramel flavor. This place gets busy, and there can be long waits if there is only one person working. Many Amish eat here. No dining in, only some outdoor seating. On a return trip, we had the lemon. It was so good! Not too lemony. Just right. Very creamy. i would recommend.

Which is really nice to know it's not just sitting around. We had the taco specials today--taco salad & beef quesadillas. It was great. They give you so much protein! The only thing was it had been busy right before we went in & a bunch of the tables were dirty. Other than that it was great. Minor inconvenience, but you could tell it wouldn't stay that way. The staff was just recovering & they'd be right on it.

So when they are out they are out for the day. We had the turkey sandwich, ham sandwich, pasta salad and a few different cupcakes. Everything was fresh. The pasta salad was the perfect balance of tangy dressing with pasta, cheese, meat and olives. The cupcakes are spectacular. Rich, creamy and decadent. A real treat.

Nice medium-sized health food grocery store with a sandwich and juice bar with three tables. The wrap and sandwich were good and the portion sizes were just right. The smoothie was a classic - banana, strawberry, apple juice and ice. The store and restroom were nice and very clean. We did wish there had been a changing table in the restroom. There were many items on sale in the store and a nice selection of products. So often on the drive between Toledo and Chicago, we've had to settle for unhealthy snacks from convenience stores because it's still hard to find good vegan options along the way. We're bookmarking this place to visit each time we pass through! Thank you for offering so many healthy, vegan options!
