Small-batch · Handcrafted · Delhi, NY

Every scoop tells a story we started from scratch.

We don't follow recipes — we follow ingredients. Locally sourced dairy, seasonal fruit from Hudson Valley farms, and a whole lot of patience go into every batch we churn.

What We Make

Flavors worth saving room for.

We rotate our menu with the seasons so you always get the best of what's growing nearby. Here are some of our constants — the ones our regulars come back for.

Creamy vanilla bean ice cream in a glass bowl

Madagascar Vanilla

Classic

Real vanilla beans, not extract. We split, seed, and slow-cook them into our cream base for a flavor that's warm, floral, and unmistakably honest.

Rich dark chocolate gelato with a glossy surface

Valrhona Dark Chocolate

Rich

Single-origin cacao from Venezuela, melted into a ganache base and churned until it's impossibly smooth. It's chocolate the way it should be — deep, not sweet.

Pink strawberry sorbet in a ceramic dish

Hudson Valley Strawberry

Seasonal

When strawberry season hits, we make this. Local berries, a touch of lemon, and no dairy — just pure fruit sorbetto that tastes like July.

Pale green pistachio gelato with whole nuts on top

Sicilian Pistachio

Fan Favorite

Bronte pistachios, ground fine and folded into our base with a pinch of sea salt. Nutty, slightly savory, and the kind of flavor that makes people close their eyes.

Pale lavender ice cream with dried lavender buds

Wildflower Honey & Lavender

Signature

Honey from a beeyard two hours down the road, infused with culinary lavender. It's floral without being perfumey — delicate, calming, and entirely our own.

Espresso ice cream with a coffee bean garnish

Espresso & Brown Butter

Bold

Brown butter until it smells like a bakery, then fold in a double shot of local espresso. It's the flavor that bridges coffee and dessert — and fails at keeping them apart.

Our menu changes with the seasons — check with us for what's fresh this week.

Our Story

We opened this shop because ice cream should taste like something real.

The Ice Cream Shop started as a weekend experiment in a home kitchen — a batch of vanilla, a batch of chocolate, and a stubborn belief that most ice cream leaves something out.

Today we're a small team on Main Street in Delhi, churning 20 to 30 flavors a week. We source milk and cream from farms in the Catskills, fruit from Hudson Valley growers, and chocolate from traders who know exactly where their cacao came from.

We also run a small café counter with coffee, tea, and espresso drinks — because sometimes you want ice cream with your coffee, not instead of it.
