Get the Scoop

If you know what a creemee is, odds are good you've been to Vermont before. It's a Vermont term for soft-serve – but here in Vermont, we like it creamier, thicker and colder. Maple creemees are a Vermont summer tradition, but some roadside stands offer almost 100 flavors of ice cream, both soft-serve and scoops. 

We all think Vermont when we see those blue Ben & Jerry's pints bedecked with cheery cows, but Ben and Jerry are far from the state's sole producers of sweet, delicious ice cream. 

Vermont's ice cream producers range from innovative makers throughout the state with large operations to stands by the sides of roads offering delicious creemees and a scoop of local flavor. Many spots also offer a menu, as well as some very Vermonty views. You could plan a whole trip around Vermont's ice cream stands and scoop shops.
