Ice Cream Factory

4 STARS — OMGGG. Their Grape-​nut Ice Cream is phenomenal!
And they have soooo many interesting flavors to try out!
SUBTRACT 2 STARS — Staff is not friendly at all!

Fast, easy, convient && affordable
It’s a small location but don’t let that fool you. The customers here are loyal and love quality ice cream for an affordable price.
But they also offer soy Ice cream && have a juice bar located inside which are really good .
My fellow Jamaicans come here either for rum & raisen or grape but ice cream … Which they now infuse (yay)
It’s a must try if your in the area trust me you won’t disappointed
Oh and there’s a parking lot for you to use but it does share with the rest of the plaza so parking maybe a little hectic.

I NEVER imagined this ice cream shop could be amazing. i live for grapenut ice cream, after leaving Jamaica I never knew it was possible to find it again.
MUST TRY FLAVORS!
— grapenut rum and raisin
— rum cake ice cream
— cookies and cream
— grapenut pistachio

this ice cream spot is great it has an islandy taste to it and all of the flavors I’ve tried so far have a really vibrant taste my favorite is cookies and cream and butter pecan the only thing I’m not a big fan of are their cakes there not too spectacular

The ice cream here is amazing. The texture is so creamy and the soy ice cream is similar to a frozen yogurt texture! What more can you ask for? Plenty of different flavors to choose from. I have personally tried the egg nog, soursop (guayabana), soy vanilla cherry, pistachio pistachio, soy grapenut, mint chocolate, soy rum raisin, coconut! They even pack half gallon containers! My husband worked at an ice cream shoppe for quiet some time and he finds this ice cream is very fresh all and it’s never frost bitten. I recommend this place to anyone who is a fan of unique combinations and classics with a Caribbean touch.

The name is somewhat non-​descript, other than they make ice cream. Given the madness of the parking lot, I would not be one to stop by if I didn’t know about this place. As many people noted, they make interesting flavored ice cream. Some noteable favorites are soursop, Jamaican rum raisin (not to be confused with their plain rum raisin), and stout. And most of their flavors have an option with grape nut.

I’ve seen this place several times while hanging out in the best buy/​target shopping center area. I was never really motivated to come in here until I found out about their unique flavors.
On the outside it seems like they’re a generic ice cream shop but they serve up some quality one of a kind ice cream. If you’re feeling nervous, come in and try a scoop of the grape nuts ice cream… you’ll be sold. They have a lot of carribean inspired flavors like Jamaican rum raisin. I tried the grape nuts and pistacho (with real pistachios) and was in heaven. I also gave the banana bread a try, but I wasn’t impressed at all.
A large cup here means two scoops, which at the time of this writing was four bucks. Roughly the same price as baskin Robbins. I wish these guys had some indoor seating though.

I have been coming to this place for a while and the staff is so nice. The reason I keep returning is for the guanabana ice cream (aka soursop to noncarribeans). Haven’t found it anywhere else except PR. Anyway, they have other great flavors and mix grape nuts into some of the ice cream flavors or u can get it on the side. Who knew that such a nasty cereal pairs well with ice cream? Go figure!

I really like this place. A big part of it is because it is a bit unexpected for the area. I think they work along with the deli/​jerk spot a few doors down because they have some Jamaican fare here too.
The pistachio pistachio is tasty and they have good milkshakes as well. They have soy options which is cool especially for when I am feeling extra lactose intolerant. The options are plentiful with items like stout. Try the cookies too. They’re cheap and chewy.

Love the ice cream at this place. Head and shoulders over standard ice cream shops with interesting flavors like grape nut, Irishmoss, stout, and grapenut. The ice cram is rich and sweet. My favorites, so far, are egg nog rum raisin and Jamaican rum raisin.

I love love love this place. This is the only location in Mt, Vernon that has Vegan ice cream

You know– we’ve been to this place several times and things were always cool until the girl at the register got all primal with us over something she NEVER said but wanted to save face so decided to take it out on the customer. Let me explain:
We ordered ONE small banana-​strawberry ice cream in a cup. She decides to serve up two cups for us. We asked her «Are they both for us» and then she just goes hog wild on us…
«See, you said TWO– you ain’t say ONE now» and just rambled on and on and on like a ravenous, feral animal. I was afraid she was going to jump the counter and start assaulting my wife. It was just ridiculous and embarrassing to be verbally accused of ordering two when we clearly did not. The number two NOT ONCE came out of our mouths.
The best part was that she said she made sure we meant TWO by asking us if we were sure we wanted TWO cups. The funny thing is that NEITHER one of us heard her ask us that– interesting. You know why neither one of us heard her ask if we were sure we wanted TWO cups instead of one? Because her lying ass didn’t ask to begin with. You made the mistake, didn’t want to own up to it, and you took it out on the customers.
Needless to say– we won’t entertain an establishment that treats their customers like poop on the bottom of a dirty boot. We were raised to respect everyone we come across– and we ask for the same respect in return. That line was crossed, no forgiveness here– you will never see our money again.
Maybe a good thing anyway considering how grimy the actual store looks.

This Place is Pretty Good Nothing to Write home about I only tried one Flavor and It was about as good as baskin and Robbins maybe slightly better. But again like I said Pretty Good but nothing to leave my Couch for.

This place is an unusual place, both an Ice cream shop and a deli. To make things a lot more unusual, the flavors are Caribbean inspired which means several are «grape nut» flavors which (best I can tell) simply means that grape nuts cereal has been mixed into the iced cream.
The ice cream here was very smooth and creamy, in many ways suggestive of some of the higher quality Mexican ice cream shops. Similarly, there were a lot of flavors, including many fruit based flavors available both in an ice/​sorbet or an ice cream.
The ice cream here could easily have earned another star except they used very cheap, obviously artificial flavors to flavor the reasonably high quality ice cream they served.

Don’t really go there often but they’re way better than those other ice cream places. It’s a little ice cream shop that taste pretty good and have a vast variety of flavors, plus their soft ice cream taste great. Try it one day so you can say you did.

yum, yum, yum! homemade ice cream! tons of flavors. like stout, peach-​grapenut, and even non dairy. i usually get a small and i feel like that is big. better tasting than Hagen-​das and definately less expensive. they make cakes too!
