Vanilla Bean Creamery — Restaurant in Elkhart

I saw a little girl with an amazing looking brownie sundae. Another lady had a flavor that looked very good, when it was my turn I asked to try whatever she had. Which I did and then I sampled the other flavor that I I want it but then I saw a flavor that I know I really like in other brand of ice cream and I haven't seen it for years but I wanted to make sure it was the same like I had before and that was Butter Brickle. The woman at the counter told me I'm sorry I can only give you two samples. And I said I'm going to buy two scoops and a brownie sundae that's the last one. She said I'm only allowed to give you two samples. And I guess I'm allowed to spend my money where I believe deserve it. With that kind of rule I'm sure it's to prevent people from trying everything but when I assure her I only wanted to try that one more, she should have some discretion. Instead I decided to leave and I really wanted to try that place but I cannot support a business that doesn't go just a little out of the way for the customer. So I left without buying anything and that was sad because I really wanted try the Butter Brickle and I really liked another one that she gave me a sample of but it was whether or not to get two scoops of the moose tracks or one of the Butter Brickle and the moose tracks and the brownie sundae. My business does not put a dent in theirs because I see people going in and out of there. The only thing is I reward people when they're going out of their way to give me samples to try because they're working harder for just one cone, so I always give a very good tip. And the crazy thing is I've spent so much money at the one in Granger. Now I won't go...

Yum! I left here wanting to go back for more! The ice cream here is literally the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I’m not a sweet tooth type of woman, I have to have a “taste” for sweets. My first visit today (1/23/20) walked in, the place is pretty and clean, which is two things I love about any business that serves food. The bathroom was clean, I had to check that out as well, so we good ladies 😽 The owner, Claire was working, and she basically gave me a run through the flavors in a taste feast, and I was very happy! I’m not sure if this is something she just does, but it wasn’t busy, so I’m not saying she spoils everyone 🙃 moving on... I tasted ice cream flavors I’ve never in my life would’ve ever tasted, or even asked to sample, Claire just was like “try it” and I did, and I fell in love with two flavors I never in my entire life would’ve ever tried on any given day, and they were Coffer brownie swirl & Strawberry brownie cheesecake! The servings were perfect, being I purchased a small. I live more towards Goshen area and there’s an ice cream shop there that’s like #1 but I really think that it’s over rated. You can’t sample every flavor and you don’t get to meet the owner and chat! This is #1 by far! If you haven’t been here, visit! Claire mentioned to me she makes the ice cream and even the brownies that go into the ice cream, so no Little Debbies brownies here... I cannot wait to go back,...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Café in Elkhart, IN is an absolute gem! We were visiting friends and staying at the lovely Elkhart Hotel when we discovered this spot — and WOW, it was busier than a beehive! 🐝🍦 That’s always a sign of something delicious happening inside… and we were not disappointed.
