Customer Reviews

The creamiest, dreamiest ice cream you could hope for?Blue Mountain Beach Creamery absolutely delivered. They have an impressive variety of unique and delicious flavors, plus some great dairy-free sorbet options for those who need them. We loved it so much we went twice during our vacation! The bourbon caramel was a standout, and I also had a dark chocolate flavor that was rich and indulgent. The waffle flavor was my least favorite of the three, but honestly, it was still better than most ice cream I?ve ev

What a great little creamery right off 83! They have a TON of delicious flavors, literally every one I tried I wanted a whole scoop of, and it's absolutely adorable. The staff is so friendly and helpful and patient, and it wasn't too crowded when we were there but we've driven past and there have been TONS of people. So much, in fact, that there are two windows for ordering! There's rarely a wait unless you have indecisive orderers. It's walking distance from the public beach access which makes it a great

We come here every year when we're down for vacation. The ice cream is delicious ??, as is their freshly made waffle cone! And the young people working there are always polite!

Charming little creamery with a cozy vibe. It gets quite crowded in the evenings, and the wait was about 20 minutes. The ice cream is wonderfully creamy with a smooth texture, though a bit too sweet for my preference?others might love it! The peach sorbet was decent but didn?t stand out. Worth a visit for ice cream fans!

Was super excited to try. I visited mid afternoon June 20. I understand the summer rush but this is different. I stood at the ?order here? window for 10 min. Not a soul there but me. The eating area was full. The workers in the back truly looked busy. The one working the window spent to much time talking to the girls in the ?pickup here? window. I waited patiently for 10-15min in 100 degree heat while he just chatted away. I know I was seen because I made eye contact numerous times. So I just left. Hope e

Delicious Ice Cream!!! The home made waffle cones are delicious, they are freshly made every day. We drove more than four hours to try it. (Yeah, it's that good) We barely made it before close time and I have to say Abby is an incredibly nice, efficient, and kind manager. I highly recommend this place and will definitely drive back for more.

We are here multiple times during our 6 day stay. We have 4 kids and this was their favorite ice cream we had the whole trip. We had ice cream, shaved ice, shakes and concretes and they were all amazing! Staff was great and even though there was a line they moved through them quickly!

Always happy to share delightful experience at Blue Mountain Beach Creamery, a true gem by the sea! For the past three splendid years, this charming spot has been our go-to destination after soaking up the sun and waves. As the sun begins to set, we find ourselves in awe of the bustling line that always forms - a testament to their well-deserved popularity in the community. But fear not, This is no ordinary wait in line; it's a chance to mingle and connect with fellow ice cream enthusiasts. Engage in jovia

We were excited to try after hearing and reading so many rave reviews. Disappointed by the service and the ice cream in general. Mostly Vanilla ice cream with added food coloring and some artificial flavorings and calling it different names. If I?m coming to an ice cream shop and going to drop $70+ then samples upon request should be given no matter how busy you are. It?s about the experience, service, as much as the ice cream if you are over charging for ice cream.

Absolutely the best icecream that we've had in a long while! The young staff are super friendly and the flavors are phenomenal. If you see coconut chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie or cappuccino crunch on the menu, get it!!

Such a treat during our week stay nearby. Flavors may change and popular flavors may sell out quickly. Don't be intimidated by long lines (or arrive earlier in the day) as the friendly staff are efficient scoopers.

If you're a fan of ice cream, you absolutely have to check out Blue Mountain Beach Creamery. This place is a hidden gem that offers some of the most delicious ice cream I've ever tasted. The flavors are all homemade and incredibly unique, with everything from classic vanilla to more adventurous options. The quality of the ice cream is simply outstanding - it's smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable ($6 per scoop). The staff is also incredibly

This place is amazing, different flavors every day. They serve you ice cream almost immediately and the line moves quickly even when there are tons of people there.

Two windows were taking orders. The right window handed out orders as they were received. The left side directed people to the other side of the building to receive their ice cream. Instead of a line, just a group of people formed outside the window, which led to confusion upon receiving orders. Also, this window took considerably longer to get their ice cream. Also, the ice cream was very soft and melted faster than we could eat it (it?s only 70 degrees out and overcast so it wasn?t a hot day).

CASH ONLY! We love to grab ice cream from here and walk on the beach. Banana in a waffle cone hits the spot! Single scoop is a decent size. Highly recommended but it does get busy but worth the wait.

amazing dairy free and regular ice cream! I recommend the dairy-free cookies and cream over the dairy-free cookie dough, if dairy isn't your thang. you get your money's worth, a double scoop is more like a quadruple lol. definitely not your typical ice cream store.

Great little ice cream shop with good flavors and quick service. The one issue is it is expensive. We had cookies and cream, chocolate, graham cracker, and bourbon truffle. All of them were creamy and delicious with great freshly made waffle cones. We ordered, paid, and had our ice cream in just a few minutes and the provided sidewalk chalk was great for the kids. The prices are high, but this is a destination spot in a tourist area so that should be expected. Our 4 singles and one double with 3 waffle cone

10 stars! Great place for kids. Line gets long after dinner but moves reasonably fast. There are two service windows and one pickup window on the side. If your the impatient type, the shake shop next door has shorter lines. If you found this review helpful, please hit the like button.

My kiddos love to grab a quick scoop here at the creamery whenever we go to grannies house down the road. Been a staple for my kids entire lives. BMB creamery for life!! Don't miss out on the best ice cream after a long day on the beach.

The ice cream is unremarkable, with limited topping and flavor options, suggesting a focus on profit maximization rather than customer satisfaction.!

Most of the products on the menu are Hersheys corporate junk full of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, artificial colors, and other junk ingredients. At least take down your creamery sign and stop trying to deceive people. If you make some homemade and some not, update the menu to reflect that for transparency.

Great ice cream, shakes and sno cones. And although no one asked, the logo Tshirts they sell are SO soft. Lines get long in the afternoon, but it moves fast. Picnic tables outside to sit and enjoy. Ice cream in the front, shakes in the back.

The ice cream and donuts were delicious. Highly recommend the maple bacon donut, but get there early! Update: August 2018 They?ve built a new store beside the original location and open at 7. Still the BEST donuts on 30a!

Every flavor is delicious. I tried their chocolate peanut butter, my kids got brownie batter, cookie dough, and vanilla. We all loved it.

So good that we made the 20 min drive twice on our four day trip. The banana pudding ice cream is to die for!

Cute little corner place. $7 a single scoop. Not a lot of parking. Outdoor seating.

Great milkshakes! I had a chocolate marshmallow shake that was yummy. The high school girl working was very nice as well!

Blue Mountain Beach Ice Cream shop offers an great homemade-style ice cream experience. The helping crew provided amazing and genuine service, which added to the overall experience and helped us create summer memories with our little one. The flavors and choices available were fantastic, and the ice cream itself was creamy and delicious. Overall, we highly recommend Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for anyone looking for a delightful treat and an enjoyable atmosphere.

The ice cream was absolutely incredible! My husband and I went with the kiddos while having a spur of the moment family beach trip, and we were not disappointed. I had seen the creamery while we were looking for parking and convinced my husband for us to stop. They have a decent selection to choose from with basics, to fruity, to coffee. I went with the cappuccino crunch, which was decadent. My daughter went with strawberry cheese cake and was a big fan. Our son is basic and enjoyed a classic vanilla, and t

Delicious ice cream. Long line but worth the wait. They have a pretty efficient system with 2 order windows and 1 pick up window. There is a cute area with benches and picnic table to enjoy your cold treat.

My husband and I have been visiting 30A for years, and we always make Blue Mountain Beach Creamery part of our trip. Ice cream is my favorite food and I consider myself a connoisseur. BMBC is perhaps the best I have ever had - and this would include gelato throughout Italy. It is incredible. The problem is that we now have a home here and feel compelled to limit our visits ? although have not been successful at it. When something is this good - great ingredients, flavors, so creamy, and wonderful employees

Best ice cream ever. Had the dark chocolate with raspberry in a waffle cone. Don't think I could ever get a different flavor...it was soooo good! Will be going back!

Love the ice cream and all the wonderful flavors they have there! Whether you're staying at Blue Mountain Beach or just passing through, this place is a MUST to visit!!! It has the look of an old fashioned ice cream shop, along with a fun energy & laid back atmosphere that extends from the beach which is a stone's throw away, and customers leave much happier than when they arrived!

Wonderful ice cream that I love having over spring break. Rented a house across the street from here and I went 5 times in my 7 day stay in Blue Mountain Beach

Best vanilla ice cream cone we've had in a long time.

Cash only Great flavors Fast service He had banana pudding ice cream and i had cappuccino toffee crunch with waffle cones

The variety of ice cream, yogurt and sorbet offers something for everyone, as well as donut options. The ice cream was rich and creamy, and the original flavors were not what you typically see on menus. The sidewalk chalk was a nice addition for kids to play with in the seating area. There was plenty of outdoor seating available, both in and out of the shade.

Some of the best ice cream available in the area. Just a quick walk from the beach, you can peruse and find yourself a refreshing treat! The staff has always been patient and polite! There is a nice shaded area where you can sit and enjoy your stop! My personal favorite is the Chocolate and Peanutbutter!

Fantastic ice cream and photo opportunities too! Their homemade waffle cone is a perfect complement and actually adds to the flavor. For photos, the benches and tables have artwork on the fence that makes for a cute backdrop. This is a really cute place to drop into for a treat you?ll remember.

Always delicious ice cream, flavors rotate a lot. We love it.

Unique and yummy flavors of ice cream. Magical Unicorn is a good mix of sour and creamy sweet. Play Dough hit the spot for sweet and cakey. Oatmeal cookie has a unique oatmeal taste while still being a sweet ice cream. Cute building and friendly staff.

Depending on the window you order from you either get ice cream as soon as you pay or you wait endlessly for ice cream. They need someone with a brain. They don?t give samples to everyone I guess they are selective to who gets a sample

Two popular ice cream shops in one building. This pic is the regular ice cream shop. The shop at the other end of the building offers milk shakes and donuts. There was a line this evening for both shops. Good ice cream. The people in line were happy to be there.

I had the red velvet shake and my daughter had the birthday cake shake and OMG it was delicious ?? definitely coming back

It's a really cool spot with great ice cream!

Not worth the hype. They used to have more and better flavor options. Since the lines are always long they could have music or something to entertain. Unless you think buying a $42 custom hat is entertaining Samples? No, but can you can double for mediocre ice cream .

Best ice cream in 30A! When we pulled in there was a long line. You know if there?s a line it has to be good!! I was worried we might not be able to get served, since it was about 20 minutes before closing, but the line moved efficiently and it was worth the wait! Kind, patient staff and some of the most delicious ice cream I?ve ever had. Will definitely be back!

The ice cream was delicious and my entire family loved it. The service was good considering there was only one person working. My only issue was we witnessed the Hershey?s ice cream truck come and deliver ice cream while we were here. We were under the impression that all the ice cream was all homemade but obviously we were proven wrong. Their website even says that everything is all homemade.

Best ice cream place in the area! There is always a line because it is so good! I like how the flavors rotate from day to day. I have been here maybe five times and the staff is always different, but always very friendly.

The Shake Shop has the best donuts I?ve ever had!! Get there as soon as they open. The creamery is so much fun and the ice cream is great!

Great selection, was happy to have none dairy options.

The best ice cream I have ever had! Our boys loved the cotton candy ice cream so much we had to go back the next day! We had the banana pudding and it was amazing!

Homemade cappuccino crunch ice cream was absolutely delicious! Service was great and portions were generous. This is my new ice cream place when at Grayton Beach!

Terrific spot with great flavors. Even when there's a line everything moves quickly and easily.

Disappointing ? waited over an hour in line only To find the only option was a very mediocre frozen yogurt soft serve, not actual ice cream or assorted flavors. After the wait was very dissapointed in the product. Would not return. Gas station ice cream is the same quality but faster and cheaper.

Nice ice cream shop in Santa Rose Beach. Smaller selection but great service.

Just moved here and bragged and bragged about your ice cream. Last night we got there just before 9:00 pm. No one came to the window until exactly 9:00 pm and waved that you were closed. You saw us at the window! We were ignored. Not cool at all! You made a bad impression? ??

The orange pineapple Iced cream was fantastic! The fresh squeezed lemonade is amazing too! Great for the family.

I have been to Blue Mountain Creamery in prior years and the ice cream was very good. This particular trip the ice cream has been very mediocre. My daughter noticed that they had Lil Blue Panda, a flavor specific to Hershey's brand of ice cream. My daughter eventually ordered cotton candy ice cream and realized it was the Hershey's brand based on her having it many times at other ice cream shops. Very disappointing. This is not a real creamery, go to Pecan Jack's instead.

This place is the best!!! The Oatmeal Cookie ice cream was so good we got a whole pint. But, honestly, we did not try one flavor we didn?t like. The chocolate, strawberry fields, oatmeal cookie, coconut chocolate, and graham flavors were all delicious!!

Good milkshake and fairly fast service for a Memorial Day weekend crowd. Only disappointment was the low number of topping options and the fact that half of them were out of stock. Still worth the trip!

Has been our "go to" ice cream shop for several years now. (Even had a t-shirt). We live in Seaside where we have several places we can walk to and would drive here instead. But... used to be $5 a cone. Then $6. Now $7. Yeah, IDK, probably going to start sticking closer to home. Love their product but $7 is just silly

Mine was good but not Bo's (In Tampa) good.

Great ice cream and floats! Good and quick service with outdoor seating. Right by the trail. Very walkable. Cost a bit more than expected, but understandable.

Our boys loved the cotton candy flavored ice cream so much we had to go back the next day. My husband had banana pudding and it was so good, we both loved it!

Long lines but they are really efficient and so the line moves quickly. Ice cream is really good and worth the wait They have just started accepting credit cards. Pay attention to the flavour board because it is updated as they run out of any one flavour.

You have to stop HERE!! Wonderful ice cream!! Get there early!! Excellent service!!

Be aware they will turn you away at 9, even if you got in line at 8:45 and waited! We had 6 kids with us, got to the window and were told they had just closed so couldn?t serve us! They should have put a sign out in the line so people knew. Disappointing to have them tell us and all our kids who had waited that they wouldn?t serve us as we stood at the window ready.

Great local creamery with fresh ice cream and waffle cones, and more than a dozen delicious flavors that change regularly. Next time we're in the area we'll be back for sure!

I loveeeee this ice cream shop so so much. The staff are always super friendly and quick. Ice cream is amazing and they constantly change flavors. Its dog friendly and they even offer pup cups??

Always amazing. We make it a point to get ice cream here every time we go to 30A.

This place is obviously a favorite... People standing in line in the rain for treats. Like every thing in the area they're pricey but you definitely get a very generous scoop of ice cream. The had a good selection of flavors for what I'd consider a boutique ice cream maker. No inside serve, all walk up windows but even though the line was a bit long it moved quickly. Service was awesome... Staff were hustling, very helpful, patient, and polite. Just one warning... If you typically get 2 dips at the 31 flavo

I Highly recommend you try this place if you are in the area! The Ice Cream is incredible and their flavor selection is always different and very good! My wife and I went here EVERYDAY of our Honeymoon for our sweet treat! One of our highlights of the trip! If they have the Apple Pie flavor, that one is a winner!

The bourbon truffle ice cream is incredible! We got ice cream and then walked down to the beach for sunset. Such a great way to spend the evening!

The ice cream was tasty! We had banana pudding, cookies and cream, apple pie, and moos tracks. Cute little ice cream spot but they do not have a bathroom on site which can be tricky with kids.

It?s a tradition to visit the Blue Mountain Creamery as much as possible while in the area. Lines are longer in the evening, but the ice cream side moves fast and it?s most definitely worth the wait! Different flavors everyday. Homemade waffle cones are the best! Cute t-shirts for souvenirs and wonderful service!

2023 update from 5 stars to 1. Just discovered they serve Hershey's ice cream. You can go to any shop in town and get their flavors. The staff here is super rude. A crowd came close to closing time. When asked if they were going to finish serving the line, they responded, "we'll see". They proceeded to just close the window on a customers face and didn't say a word. SO RUDE. My whole family loved the ice cream here. The variety isn't huge, but there's something for everyone. The homemade flavors are delic

Delicious ??Got a double and it was a massive amount!

Great flavors. We tried Banana Pudding, Key Lime, Superman, Chocolate Coconut, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Bourbon Caramel?? All were great though very sweet. The staff was friendly and worked quickly through a long line.

This ice cream never disappoints! We have been coming here for as long as I can remember! They have many flavor opportunities for all to try!

Every time we drive passed this place, it's always busy, which is totally understandable because this is the best ice cream I've had in a long time. They had lots of variety and unique flavors. Definitely stop here if you're in the area.

The ?award winning chocolate ? was not very chocolate. Really need to improve depth of flavor. Server was friendly

This place is the cutest little ice cream shop in the small town of Santa Rosa. Service was good and the ice cream was super yummy with a load of different options. It is in the perfect location right on the intersection to the beach causing families to stop to get cold ice cream on a hot beach day! The small stand is beachy and is giving off surfer vibes ??. There is a large chalkboard on the side of the stand which you put you name on and just anything you like making it more of an experience. There is al

This ice cream stop is so good. I was impressed by the quality of the ice cream. I got the cappuccino crunch (which was incredible) and I could quickly tell that not only was the ice cream made here, but the chocolate chips along with the toffee was clearly made from scratch too. Between my wife and I, we tried 4 flavors and they all delivered. Tourist or not, this place lives up to the reviews.

A must on your beach trip. Great ice cream with an array of flavors. We usally make a point to go here 2-3 times a trip! The service is always pleasant and even if there is a line it moves quick.

A tiny scoop of ice cream for $7. I expected a larger scoop for this price. It?s decent ice cream but $7 for a scoop, especially of this size, is just not worth it.

$7.00 for a tiny scoop and ice cream isn't that great

This place was reasonably priced, portions were generous, ambience was fun, and flavors were creative/ unique. Personally I really enjoyed the waffle cone with graham cracker ice cream. We also tried the waffle on a stick which was good but was over shone by the great ice cream!!!! We have ate ice cream at locations all over and this is one of my families favorites. A must if vacationing on 30a
