Red Barn Ice Cream

Talk about a palate cleanser. The Millennial Chum and I came here last week right after a very mediocre meal down the street involving sub-par flatbread, needing desperately to do something positive with our mouths. One of the number one benefits to hiking up a mountain (in this case Mount Mansfield)? You can eat an entire flatbread and then top it off with some ice cream if needed. Red Barn was conveniently located between the offending flatbread restaurant and our hotel, and without much research we quickly pulled in to salvage our gastro day. It's located in a pretty non-descript strip mall right on the end, which gives it the advantage of taking up the outdoor space nearby with some seating (a few benches) and one of those wooden prop/photo-ops that you can poke your head in. Definitely a cute/quaint vibe in there. Unsurprisingly, it has a rustic, farm feel on the outside with a lot of wood rafter goodness throughout. We were probably a little early for the evening rush and had the place to ourselves. I don't mean this as a negative per se, but it had some tourist trap vibes - there's a lot of local jams, etc. for sale, and a significant section of the storefront is dedicated to self-serve candy (not dissimilar from our experience at Lake Champlain Chocolates). The vast majority of flavors were pretty standard, and I opted for one of my all-time classics that I used to get at Friendly's when I was a young pupper - purple ice cream (aka black raspberry) with Reese's Pieces. Hit the spot. I thought it was a little creamier than its Friendly's counterpart, and also a smidge softer so you didn't end up chipping away at it like a sculptor (which honestly sometimes I'm into). We took our ice creams outside and ate them on a bench nearby, taking in the sights. It's right on Route 108 so it's not the most scenic view, but you do get some glimpses of the nearby farmlands/greenery. Pleasant. The service was perfectly fine. There were two people behind the counter who were very professional and efficient. We had no issues ordering or receiving our items quickly - it would have been pretty concerning if we had, honestly, given the lack of a line and the straight-forward nature of the items requested. But solid thumbs up nonetheless. If you're dabbling in the local touristy chains here, I thought this was a bit more affordable than Lake Champlain, and more down to earth. But they both have their own selling points, I suppose. We got the taste of the bad flatbread out of our mouths, and that was truly what mattered. read more

I'm a native Vermonter that lives in Southern NH now. When I come back to visit (a few times a year) I must get a maple creemee. I have stopped at many places, but Red Barn had the best I have ever tasted! So creamy and VERY maple-y. BIG fan! read more

After the obligatory tip was $6 for a single scoop. I'm not talking about a scoop sized dish that a normal ice cream shop would pack out. Saying the employee literally gave me a single small scoop. For this same price you can get a full pint - of better ice cream - at Ben & Jerry's. Been intrigued by this place a long time, glad I finally made it in so I know not to go back read more

Great ice cream! We both had the Maple Creemee, and it was absolutely delicious -- rich, creamy, and full of that classic Vermont maple flavor. The texture was perfect for a fall day in Stowe. The service was friendly and quick, and everyone behind the counter had a smile. The barn-themed setting is clean and welcoming, with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the mountain view. Highly recommend stopping here for a sweet treat after exploring the area. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Vermont! read more

We loved the maple vanilla ice cream! It was so rich and creamy. I haven't read the other reviews, but if this wasn't super premium ice cream, i would be surprised. I also love the cotton candy flavored ice cream, as well as the cookies and cream. It was rich and more chocolatey than most other cookies and cream brands. The fact that a cone was only 35 cents extra was hard to believe in this day and age, and especially in Stowe, Vermont! We also tried the sour fruit gummy candies: they taste more like a fusion of gummy and fruit licorice and were not overtly sour. The maple popcorn in plastic bins was also well-kept: fresh and good. The aftertaste is where you get the maple flavor. Really enjoyed it. The ambience of the store was plain and there were enough places to sit when it's not crowded. This ice cream shop is partnered with Wilcox Ice Cream, in business for 125 years. The flavors are traditional, classic and delightful. read more

Such a cute little icecream spot in the middle of the scenic mountains in Stowe! The service was fast, even though there was a queue, but they made everyone's icecream so fast, we hardly waited. I had their sea salt caramel and coffee with toasted coconut flakes as the topping which was delicious! I also tried the vanilla shake with their soft serve which was topped off with whipped cream and cherry, which was yummy and smooth too! read more

This is not a real Vermont ice cream (creemee) shop. This is a tourist trap. The ice cream is not great quality and the prices are taking advantage of the Stowe crowd. There's a lot of Vermont products for sale in the store that you can buy elsewhere in town for cheaper. If you want ice cream and Vermont products, head down to cold Hollow cider mill or hit up any of the creemee stands in the area. The only advantage to this place is that it's open late. read more

As a lover of soft serve ice cream, our friends in Stowe highly recommended that we visit Red Barn, and we are so glad we did. They are famous for the Maple flavoured soft-serve (known as "creemee" in Vermont) it is soooo very good. We bought three pints of soft serve to share of: Vanilla, Chocolate and Maple. All three flavours were delicious. Everyone was happy with their dessert! *Please support your local businesses.* **Red Barn is one of the the few Black-owned businesses in Stowe and we are thrilled to see them here. ** Enjoy! read more

The service was so wonderful; I am glad I stumbled upon this ice cream shop while shopping around in Stowe! Inside is a sweet tooth's dream with treats lining the walls and tons of ice cream flavors to choose from! The server kindly let me sample the ice cream as I tried to decide what I wanted - I chose the black raspberry ice cream, which was so creamy and delicious! My friends tried their popsicles and milkshakes and loved those options as well. They have more fun Vermont flavors like maple syrup that I will have to try next time! read more

If you are in Vermont, you have to try creemee! Creemee is a special type of soft serve in Vermont that is creamier than regularly soft serve. I got their maple creemee and the texture was very smooth and the maple flavor was very strong! I got a small one but they also have a kiddie one in case you just want to try a little! read more

Truthfully the whole experience here is lacking. The hard- dip (scooped) ice cream looked bad, in mass produced tubs. Definitely not homemade or anything close to it. We read previous reviews and after confirming the scooped ice cream looked terrible, stayed away. My complaint with this place is that I ordered a small ice cream in a cup, and received the kiddie portion, barely filled. It was a tragedy; I wouldn't even mind the smaller portion if the cup were actually filled with ice cream. The cashier ringing up the orders must have misheard me when ordering, but I couldn't confirm since we didn't have the receipt, so it was just disappointing from all angles. See the picture attached to my review. Another oddity is that they had self serve bulk candy items out in the store, but half filled, unsealed bags that looked like someone tried to get them ready for purchase? I'm not sure of the intention, as the bags were 1/4 full, I'm talking 5 gummy worms; but it was odd and I wouldn't buy pre-scooped bulk candy. The redeeming quality of this place is maple-flavored soft serve ice cream, or as they call it, creemie. It was absolutely amazing and I have had nothing like it. If you don't mind getting skimped on the ice cream- stop here to try the maple soft serve. Getting the soft serve in a waffle cone instead of a cup seemed to be the ticket to getting an expected portion of ice cream, as my sister got quite a bit in her cone. the maple ice cream was definitely worth a try, especially if you've never had it before. Otherwise, it's my opinion that you won't find a particularly pleasing or satisfying ice cream trip if you choose to visit. read more

The Sodt serve is good. However, fill the cup! I've gotten plenty of soft serve and made my own at the make your own places. I know how hard it is to get it to leave a big gap like this and have never gotten it like this at other places. Seems like a profit margin trick. I won't be back. read more

When your in VT maple ice cream is a must! We were driving through and stayed one night at the Trapp Family Lodge. Our dinner reservation was not until 8:15 so we decided we needed some ice cream! Red Barn was recommended to us and so thankful we took his advice!!I had the maple creamy which is soft serve maple ice cream. My husband had the chocolate mud one scoop in a cup. We were surprised to realize coffee was in the chocolate mud and my husband does not like coffee.... The lady was kind to offer another flavor.... BUT... to my surprise he decided to stay with his choice and enjoyed it. The maple ice cream did not have a strong syrup maple flavor but reminded both of us of pancakes . Go figure! We ordered our ice cream and went back to the lodge to sit back and enjoy while overlooking the mountains! read more

This is a great place to stop if you want something sweet, if you want INCREDIBLY FRESH chocolates, not to mention DELICIOUS chocolates, and I understand that they are really well known for their hot chocolate, too !! However, we were there during an unseasonably hot summer day (according to the locals), so we were vying for nothing but cooling off type things. Anyway, if you're reading this review, and you're in Stowe, GO HERE !!! (They have other locations in other parts of Vermont, too, but this is the one we descended upon.

She said, "I tell all the kids that too." Ma'am, clearly you don't like queer folks. She tried to tell me it was because of Covid, which I said was 4 years ago. (I'm also a nurse and we don't even wear masks in the hospital anymore). I was ready to spend money for their overpriced candy from China but I set down what I had in my hand because she was rude and then I left, I won't be back. Next time close during Pride since you obviously don't like us. It's just easier to not deal with your discrimination when we are being honored, thanks.

YUMMY They are a bit sweet, but these delicate chocolates are not for binge eaters. They are for connoisseurs of hand-crafted bespoke chocolates. While typing this review, I bit into the maple truffle and it was divine with a filling that was just like the maple syrup from a bottle. VT is almost 3000 miles from my hometown and I can't wait till the roommate must visit the tiny state again. I will have her bring back even more Snowflake Chocolates!!

Luckily, I had errands at a shop in the same strip mall and stopped in to see if they had Easter chocolate. They had some of the best chocolate I have had in a long time The chocolate is very good quality, smooth, not waxy or grainy, and not oily. I also bought a few non-Easter items because, you know, why waste the trip, and everything was very good. AND the people working at the store are very nice and very friendly. I highly recommend this shop.
