Mom's Ice Cream — Restaurant in Shipshewana

After checking out the reviews for various shops/ice cream in Shipshewana, decided to try Mom's and see which reviews give the better picture...and are we glad we did. When we arrived, there were numerous locals around (always a good sign), and we were quickly asked our choices.

We were expecting some small scoops...but when we were called back up, were almost overwhelmed by the amounts...easily 4-5 big scoops!

The. cones were smaller to hold and the amounts of ice cream inside the cones were less than Mom's competitors. Mom needs to give bigger servings or charge less. Best if she gave larger servings for a little less money or even her small size for less money to compete with others...

Love this small ice cream shop in Shipshewana. Drove around town looking for it because I'd tasted it once before and was determined to find it again! Now I know where it is and it is a regular stop on any treks through Amish country. Hope the business continues to flourish and grow and add more flavors. (One suggestion: describe what is in the flavors you have posted .... the names make it hard to choose.) Peppermint is simply the best in the world! Prices very reasonable for this quality of ice cream - dense and creamy and flavors are true (not...
