Our Story

Born from a love of real ingredients and patient craft

Great Northwest Ice Cream started with a simple belief: ice cream should taste like the ingredients it's made from. Not like an approximation of them — actually like real strawberries, real vanilla, real chocolate.

Every batch is mixed by hand, cooked to order, and churned in our small-batch freezer right here in Cornelius. We source our dairy from regional farms, our fruit from Pacific Northwest orchards, and our chocolate from single-origin makers.

It's slower than the industrial way. It's also the only way we know how to make something worth serving.
