    This is a cool little place that serves great ice cream in Union Grove near the I-77 interchange…read more The ice cream selection is great, they will mix flavors for you too. The service is friendly and efficient, and the shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The seating indoors is limited, but there's several picnic tables outside. The prices are reasonable!

    Our family visited Mason's Sweet Shoppe at about 12:30 pm last Saturday & there was only one other…read moresmall family inside. We had been wanting to visit for a while as other mason jar ice cream joints are usually at the beach or in large cities. Mason's has a bright and clean small interior with maybe four tables. There was no outdoor seating. The chairs they had were metal chairs that are not the friendliest for plus size people as they can be narrow and tight on the sides, but these were not as bad as most. Also, there was no physical menu that showed pictures of each of the mason jar sundaes, just the descriptions. They did have television screens showing pictures of each sundae, but you had to wait for each picture to pop up throughout the slideshow. The pricing for the mason jar sundaes is $10 each and the price does include the mason jar to take home. Compared to the prices at similar shops in larger cities and beaches, those tend to run $15 or more. We got the Razzle Dazzle, Cookie Monster, a scoop of Oreo ice cream & a scoop of coconut fudge ice cream. The scoops of ice cream were both flavorful, creamy & full of mix-ins. The Razzle Dazzle is raspberry chocolate ice cream with a slice of cheesecake on top. Cheesecake is one of our favorite desserts and this slice was absolutely amazing! The Cookie Monster was topped with two cookies that were just okay. The cookies were cakey and chewy. Both mason jar sundaes came in Styrofoam bowls so it would not drip on the table. We were not able to finish both sundaes even being shared between multiple people! They also give you plastic bags to take the jars home in.

    Ice cream makes everything better. Homestead Creamery is down the road from Kroger…read more The creamery has lots of home made treats. There are lots of ice cream flavors, milk, baked goods and produce. There are sandwiches and other items available. You can sample the ice cream before purchasing. The seasonal pumpkin was good. The crunchy lemon is strong and great. My favorite flavor is banana. Grocery stores carry some of the flavors. Customers can also purchase any flavor in the store and have it packed into a pint container. The gift shop area has a nice selection of souvenirs and toys. The shirt selection is minimal. The weather was nice so we ate outside. This is the perfect place to have a treat.

    Homestead Creamery ice cream was the perfect treat to end my trip to Virginia. It's a small,…read morelocally owned business serving farmhouse products, deli sandwiches, and ice cream. Everything is made with the freshest ingredients that are homegrown and locally sourced. I had high expectations for their ice cream after reading so many stellar reviews, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed! There was a huge line when I came in the afternoon, but the employees were fast and efficient. They have a variety of flavors to choose from: classics, fruit-infused, savory, seasonal. I wanted to try something new so I tried the Key Lime Pie flavor in a small cup ($4.99). It was sooo creamy and tasted exactly like the pie- tangy and sweet! I also loved that it had bits of graham cracker in it. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating, but it gets crowded very quickly. Don't forget to check out their products! They sell their own ice cream in pints + quarts, milk, baking ingredients, pastries, sauces, etc. I live in NJ and I found out that they sell some of their products in Wegmans and Whole Foods (select locations)... I'm grateful for that :)
