20220820: I finally made it to the creamery and market. Before I forget to mention, thry charge a 2% convenient fee on credit card charges. Bring cash if you don't want to pay an extra 2%. The market is smaller then I expected and it's because 1/3 is for the creamery and restaurant. The market has a nice selection of homemade cake, pies, candy, chocolate, delicious meat, baked items like cookies, pretzels, chips, ice cream, etc... I got 4 different bags of chips, some chocolate, peaches, cheese, cookies, and 8 cartons of ice cream since I don't know when I will in the area again. I also ordered their fried chicken (3 legs and 3 thighs) which was soooo delicious, lightly breaded... and crab cake sandwich which was ok. I highly recommend the fried chicken, and one of my pups liked it! I spoke to several shoppers and they are all so friendly. I even had some talks with them. I love meeting friendly people. I really enjoyed my trip in there today and shopping at Windy Knoll. I will definitely stop by again when I need more ice cream Grand cherry chip is my favorite. I noticed several reviews complained about high prices and inflation. Don't blame the small business owners, blame this Biden administration and his voters!
Updated 10/16/2021: The Black Cherry Grande is so much better than the regular Black Cherry. it has A LOT more black cherry and chocolate chips. I definitely would get this again. My pups ate all the ice cream and left the chocolate chips and black cherry pieces behind. 😋
Updated 7/24/2021: Based on the informative response by the owner, apparently, Scoop-a-licious did not tell me that the ice-cream served at the store was not the same as the take home they sold me. When I told them that I wanted the Black Cherry ice cream, they told me that they have the Windy Knoll's ice-cream and did not clarify that what they served me was not the same brand, or maybe I misunderstood. If you prefer your ice cream with minimum to no fruits, you will likely love Windy Knoll. I prefer my ice-cream with fruit. I do have one more container of Black Cherry with Chocolate Chips - at least that is what the lady at Scoop-a-licious told me I guess I will find out after I finish my 2nd container of Black Cherry.
Updated 7/23/2021: Just opened the 2nd Black Cherry Ice cream... WHERE ARE the Cherries??? 😫
Updated 7/13/2021: Where are the black cherries?? There is definitely a lot LESS black cherries in the take home ice cream than the scoops I got from the ice cream shop. Very disappointing! Out of 2 big scoops, I got 2 pieces total up to less than 1/2 cherry. I hope I happened to get the container with less cherries. I have 2 more containers to verify.
7/5/2021: I was at Scoop-a-licious in Maryland a couple of days ago. I love black cherries and I ordered their black cherry ice cream. I was surprised by how big the black cherries were and there was so many, too, in my ice cream. I ended inquiring about it at Scoop-a-licious, and they told me that it was Windy Knoll's, and I have never heard of Windy Knoll, and I have eaten at over 50 creameries and ice cream places from NY to SC to TN to OH... Region. I bought 3 containers to take home, one of which has chocolate chips. I had some tonight, and there seemed to be less black cherries in the container, but it could just be my imagination. Both my dogs love it, even the one that is so finicky that she doesn't eat many brands of ice cream. I can't wait to visit this market in the near future. FYI: my dogs don't attack good like most dogs. They are very polite, and one will only eat if I feed her or out it in a bowl. That's why I was able to take pics with them helping themselves with some...
Read moreOn our obligatory local creamery outing and we chose a good one on a nice Labor Day Saturday. Windy Knoll has a large farmer’s market with a food counter and their own ice cream brand. Good, creamy ice cream, moderately priced at $3.99 for a single dip. My go-to coffee ice cream was nicely flavored with some crunchy bits, my partner’s triple chocolate had a nice dark flavor. Food service seemed slow - the line didn’t seem to move while we waited our turn for ice cream. A couple at the food counter at the same time we were, got their food long past the time we finished our ice cream. Our line was slow - one scooper who also rang up the purchase - but not as slow as the food line. The best and unique part is that their customers are welcome to sit and enjoy their patio furniture for as long as they want. There is also a small slide/swing set for little ones. It was a nice day so we just sat on one of their gliders and hung out for another half hour. The furniture is for sale and even though they’re out in the elements, they were clean! We’ll come back on a weekday to try their food. The fried chicken looks...
Read moreRefused to wait on us for several minutes two days in a row even after other customers spoke up that we were first.
Too respond to the owner, we went Tuesday and stood in the ice cream line and we were told we were in the wrong line so we moved to the other line only to have a group of people arrive after us,go to the place we stood prior and get waited on immediately while we continued to wait. The next day we went back because we had promised the kiddo we would and we stood in the line we were asked to the day before and watched several people get served the ice cream before us in the " wrong line" again, then two people walked in behind us and the first gentleman to come in after us was waited on before us which okay fine maybe they didn't see we were there before him but then when they went to wait on the lady who arrived after he did she kindly told the workers that we were first to which the worker replied " they can wait" at this point we just left and went to DQ because it became clear this wasn't a mistake being made but a purposeful act...
