About Us
Ice Cream Cafe has proudly served the Orleans community for over three decades, becoming a beloved local staple for families, visitors, and generations of returning customers. What began as a small, neighborhood ice cream shop has grown into a place full of shared memories—first cones, summer traditions, and celebrations big and small.
Now second-generation owned and operated, our mission remains unchanged: to make exceptional ice cream that brings people together. Every scoop is crafted with care, creativity, and respect for tradition, while continuing to evolve to meet the tastes and needs of today’s community. From classic favorites to inclusive, modern offerings, everything we serve is rooted in quality, warmth, and a genuine love for what we do.
