Boomtown Creamery

Spent the evening in New Albany and stopped by Boomtown for ice cream after dinner. We were the only ones in the shop when we got there so we took our time reviewing the menus. We both settled on a single scoop as we were stuffed from dinner. I will have to go back for an over the top milkshake or sundae!I went for a scoop of s'mores in a waffle cone and boyfriend went for classic cookies and cream in a cup. This is where there was a hiccup in the experience...boyfriend was served cookie dough, they quickly addressed that and my scoop was served in a cup. Seeing as there's an up charge for the cone, I politely asked to have a cone placed on top of my ice scream - no need to waste ice scream! She looked at me like I had 5 heads and eventually obliged. Overall ice scream was good and we were content. I won't go out of my way to return but if we're in the area and craving ice scream we're likely to stop by again.

The photos I saw on Yelp and social media made Boomtown Creamery look like THE PLACE to go for something truly decadent -- and BC did not disappoint. These shakes are large and in charge. They cost about $15 each, but considering how piled high these come -- more than enough for two to share -- it seems more than worth it for a special-occasion dessert.My foodie group chose BC as our next conquest. This spot gave us more than enough to take pics of, eat and gab about.I ended up going with the Mega S'more Us "boomshake," which came with a toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, Hershey chocolate, chocolate cake and whipped cream, on top of a delicious shake drizzled in chocolate. This is dessert on dessert on dessert. Really, just wow! The shake was flavorful and the added bits just made it one of a kind.I also got to try bites of the Orange Cream Dream and Peanut Butter Bliss shakes, which were over-the-top-in-a-great-way too. I think if I go back I'm going to get the Peanut Butter Bliss shake. Considering how much goes into each shake, the wait can be a little longer if there's a line but it's worth it. There is also outdoor seating, making this the perfect summertime stop.

Great cookie dough icecream shake. I took mine to go but can attest to the cleanliness of the establishment and the professionalism of the employees. I recommend others check this place out and I'll be back to try another shake as my calorie allowance permits lol

Ice cream shop that serves overpriced items on their menu. My ice cream really wasn't all that. Pretty much took a bite and it went to waste. Something just wasn't right. My coworkers took their shakes to go because they were so massive and impossible to finish. Presentation was nice but not worth the price. There was one person working, which made us feel bad. Seating is limited. If we hadn't arrived when we did, we would have had nowhere to sit. There were people standing around all throughout the shop who arrived just minutes after us and were able to be seated after my party left.

I really love what they are doing here! Not only are the shakes instagrammable, but they are super delicious! I split mine with my BF and we pretty much devoured the whole thing! They might look intimidating at first to eat, but if you believe you can do it!! We had the strawberry one, which was great--- but when I saw the Peanut Butter one I had some serious FOMO. So next time, thats all me! They do have "regular" icecream treats as well, something for everyone really!

This is our favorite place to get ice cream. The scoops are huge and the ice cream is delicious. We haven't ventured to the big crazy shakes (maybe one day) but when it comes to good ole ice cream, this place blows Graeters out of the water.

My wife went with the Mint chocolate shake. While I went with the strawberry cheesecake. Both shakes are food size they taste good!!! This place is really pricey and it's not a Military friendly location.

I went there today to try their shakes. The workers there were super nice but that's about where the good ends. First, the shakes are unbelievably overpriced at $15. They do load them up, but it honestly ends up being more for the appeal than anything because the actual shake was super runny and didn't taste all that good. Also, their blending machine sounded odd to me, and to make matters worse, the ice cream had a very metallic taste, so much so that I ended up throwing it away. I'm not sure if it was just user error, but I will not be back unfortunately.

It is wonderful to have a new ice cream joint downtown New Albany. Boomtown offers 10 flavors of Hudsonville ice cream by the scoop or in a waffle cone - but what they're making a name for is their Boom Shake, a 20oz milkshake in a glass covered in icing with cookies, marshmallows, icing, candy, cake or even a slice of cheesecake stacked on top. These type shakes are all over social media - we had our first several years ago at Black Tap in NYC. They're fun and completely over the top. Unfortunately the service and setup leave much to be desired - but if you want to wait 10 minutes in line and another 20 minutes for a New York hyped shake at New York prices and eat inside at a crowded table or streetside at a dirty table with traffic honking, this is your spot. As for me, I'll pick up a half gallon of Hudsonville the next time I'm at Meijers.

Such a fun and delicious experience! The vibes here was so cool and relaxed. Everything was about ice cream! There was even a spot to take photos with a backdrop that says ice cream is everything! It was awesome! I will share it is pricy for the specialty milk shakes but worth it. It is a shareable sized shake!
