PopCe’s Homemade Ice Cream — Local services in Ocean Pines

We started going to PopCe’s because I am terribly lazy and did not feel like driving out of Ocean Pines to the other ice cream places we love. Now we choose to go to PopCe’s because we also love it. I have tried quite a few of their flavors now and all have been great. I don’t even like cantaloupe all that much, but I thought their cantaloupe ice cream was actually quite good. Cookies and cream is my favorite, and yes, they use actual chunks of the cookie (my qualifier for the best cookies and cream ice cream). I almost always get a waffle cone because they are good. They also have a platter and that was nice because it came with little waffle cone rounds/chips to eat your ice cream with. Another cool offering is pretzel cones. When one of our friends visited with her dog, she got a cute little pup cup with ice cream, whipped cream, and a dog treat on top. We usually just take our ice cream home, but they do have a couple of outside tables. TLDR; everything here is...

Sadly, though we'd heard glowing reviews, we were not fans. The dairy free options seemed to use banana and coconut oil heavily, which was unexpected for the flavors we ordered. Had this been advertised, we wouldn't have gotten those flavors. I got mango, which coconut and banana could pair with easily, but it was so coconut flavored that it threw everything off. Mine also had chunks of what I believe to be frozen coconut oil, which made it impossible to enjoy, and I threw it away after only a few small bites (that all had those dry, crumbly cocnut oil clusters). My wife threw hers away, too, unfortunately (I forget which flavor she ordered, but it was a non dairy flavor as well). Neither kid liked their flavors of regular ice cream, either. They were really bummed because we'd heard such good things. Maybe we went on a bad day? Hard to say, though, when all 4 flavors...

My wife and I love ice cream and had been wanting to try this place for awhile. When we pulled up and saw the line I knew it was going to be good and boy was it worth the wait. You can tell this ice cream is homemade and made with love. Creamy and absolutely delicious. This is the best ice cream in OCMD. To make the night even better the owner Bob was there and took the time to introduce himself to my wife and I. He is a very kind, loving and nurturing man who cares not only about his business but his customers as well. This place is a must visit when you are in OCMD for sure. Can’t wait to make memories with our two...
