Lopez Island Creamery

6 Pacific Northwest Ice Cream Shops With Must-Try Local Flavors

"A small ice cream company that truly makes everything from scratch, Lopez Island Creamery pasteurizes raw milk brought in from local farms like Edaleen and produces a rich base with 16% butterfat; the team has processed each step in-house since 1994, blends locally picked berries (sometimes leaving visible seeds as proof they are real), and uses Washington dairy for caramel and seasonal flavors like lavender, strawberries, and blueberries. Their blackberry is the most popular flavor and is described as very fresh with a great hit of flavor, and fans can even watch production through a window at the Anacortes factory." - Tim Newcomb
