Amethyst Creamery — Restaurant in Richland

🍦This place is awesome!🍧 They feature two of my most favorite things in the world 💎so for me it's amazing.🍨 I was so excited to finally visit on the first day they opened. When I got inside I looked around to see smiling faces enjoying their creamy treats and kids digging through a giant barrel of stones and gems. The atmosphere was clean, with a minimalistic feel to it. I headed for the icecream to see what they had to offer. I was pleased with the service. They were very helpful and informative about their product. It was nice to be able to sample different flavors which helped me decide what to purchase. They offered lactose free icecream as well as the regular icecream which I thought was cool! They owner was of course there and was quite friendly and happy to chat with people that came in. I had Pumpkin Oreo icecream that was sinfully delicious! After finishing I made my way over to check out all the beautiful💠 Crystal's and gemstones💎 Lots of wonderful treasures to choose from and the giant barrell full of stones for kids to dig through and find the perfect stone was really neat! I purchased some geodes that hadn't been cracked open yet and some some singing magnets for my son. I spent under $20 for everything which I think is very reasonable. I will definitely be returning since the owner let me know that the flavors of icecream and the stones and Crystal's will be changing regularly. I highly recommend this establishment and what it has to...

Just up the road from Howard Amon Park is situated this small Mom & Pop ice cream and crystals shop. We were greeted by the owner Doug - who gladly answered all our questions and gave us a few samples. The ice cream in this shop if from CedarCrest ice cream from Wisconsin. We had quite the variety to chose from - including the not often found Superman flavor. We all opted for bowls as it was a fairly warm day and wanted less mess. I was the only one who opted for one of the Volcano Sundaes. I had the Lemon Cheesecake flavored ice cream with the Blazing Blueberry sauce (Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pears, lemon juice, carolina reaper, red jalapenos, jolokia, and red serrano peppers). The sauce was both sweet and super hot! I love the combo of chili heat with ice cream so this was right up my alley. What was the biggest surprise to me is that the sauce is made fresh for each order. I was wondering what was taking so long - when I looked behind the counter to see Doug doing his best Mr. Wizard impression making the blueberry sauce! I would definitely recommend this shop if you are in the Richland area. This shop does have a Facebook page, so you may want to check it to see if their hours are different...

Everytime I go I am greeted by the nicest staff. I feel so welcome and taken care of eveytime I go. They have incredible patience and are always kind. I absolutely love that they have dairy free ice cream, which tastes amazing and comes in so many flavors. There is not a lot of places that offer dairy free ice cream around the tricites. The shop also has crystals and has such amazing energy. It is a really neat place for families and kids. My son has learned so much about crystals from being able to look at them and ask questions. Doug the owner has worked with crystals for a long time and has a lot of knowledge. Overall 10 out 10 everytime we go, even when it is busy. The staff is amazing at acknowledging people and welcoming you even when they are busy. Plus they are in a prime location right above Howard Amon Park, perfect walking distance for a nice cold treat. They also serve coffee which is a huge plus! If you are ever needing a pick me up they are a...
