Cabanas

This is one of our favorite ice creams shops. I was disappointed that they only had the White Chocolate Raspberry flavor in gelato rather than in ice cream like we had when we were here about three years ago, but their Raspberry Rendezvous and Raspberry Chip Cheesecake are fabulous. The Black Cherry is very good, but it doesn’t come close to being as good as the Cherry Vanilla at Island Creamery in Chincoteague Island, VA, which also has real cherries in it rather than maraschino cherries. We almost didn’t go to Cabanas as their phone had been disconnected, and we thought they had closed. We took a chance and drove to St. Joseph for lunch anyway, and we are very glad we did.

You seriously can not go wrong with any of the ice cream here. Normally, when you walk into an ice cream shop, you’re greeted with the normal array of flavors (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies and crème, a few sherbets, etc.) all of which you could buy a tub of at your local grocery store for the same price and quality. Not at Cabanas. They have a great selection of flavors that are well picked and deliciously put together. The portions are also huge. My favorite part of all the ice creams is how well incorporated all the ingredients are. The chocolate chips, brownie pieces, fruit, etc. all hold their own, yet are soft enough to integrate with the rest of the ice cream.
I got a scoop of the Eskimo Kisses: a great combination of coconut and chocolate in an airy yet creamy ice cream base.
The White Chocolate Raspberry? Rich and creamy and best of all, you can taste that the fresh raspberries. None of the jam stuff you usually get.
The key lime pie, oh man, tasted like the real thing. Super tangy with bits of graham cracker mixed in.
It’s probably a good thing that I live so far away or else I’d be here eating their ice cream every day…

I am an ice cream snob and I would definitely recommend popping in. I had the Salty Jack and Peanut Butter cup

Absolutely, positively, the best carrot cake ice cream I have ever tasted. The servers were on point, fast, and they were busy. You guys got something, congratulations.

Great ice cream. Great variety of flavors. Great service and better price than Kilwin’s. Try their Cinnabon flavor… oh my!

I would have to say that they have the best cake batter ice cream in the area. It seams to have more chocolate than others. The price and taste of their ice cream is way better than Kilwin’s or The Chocolate Café. They also have food on their menu, I have never tried any of their food, but it always smell pretty good. I would recommend Cabanas to anyone who is looking for unique flavors at a decent price.

We went to Cabanas just as they closed and the owner waved us in, they were super nice and friendly and kind enough to accommodate us after they were closed for the night.
They have a wide variety of flavors, some unique, though chocolate cookie dough was my favorite.
Great to support a locally owned establishment.

I used to come here on lunch for the amazing raspberry and white chocolate ice cream in a chocolate dipped w/​sprinkles waffel cone, that put DQ to shame. The last few times I have been here they have not had any special waffel cones made up :(. But if you want some different ice cream flavors I would give this place a shot. They also carrie some food and some other summer items.
