Tipacanoe Creamery

Hands down THE BEST local ice cream spot. Period! This place is unique, creative, and very friendly. Yesterday we had scopes of Phat Elvis, Nutella, and Blueberry Goat Cheese. The quality of ingredients screams at you - like real blueberries and actual goat cheese. Phat Elvis had real bananas! You can see the waffle iron they make the cones with. Shamelessly, we were back today for scopes of Tiramisu and River Mud (coffee ice cream with Oreos). The ice cream selection is mind bending - we also sampled Apple Butter Bacon, Pumpkin Latte, and another Banana one, maybe Cream Pie but we couldn't remember. Gober Pie was calling me, but I passed. Another customer came in looking for Lemon Cookie that was there yesterday, but it was gone. We did leave with a pint of Butterscotch Praline and a pint of Bourbon Chocolate Donut. We love this place, hate how fat they are making us, but can't wait to see them grow!

I feel so bad, I thought I already wrote one for Tipacanoe! Well, here goes:Get there! That's it. There is not much else to say!The place is super clean!It is family owned, and obviously well loved!The decor is adorable!The parking is super easy!Now, for the good part...The ice cream is absolutely amazing. The apple pie ice cream truly tastes like apple pie! How? Because the owner BAKES the pies first and them crumbles them into the ice cream! Same with cookie dough or chocolate chip cookie ice cream! Ever single type we tried was amazing and so creamy!Like I said, Go there now!! ;-D

Usually, I am not a big ice cream parlor guy. I mean, they are delicious and I do enjoy my time being at them whenever I do go, but all I need is the Breyer's sugar-free or no sugar added ice creams, and I will be good to go.However, if I do get ice cream outside of my specific store boughts for macro purposes, I definitely go local. In Spring Hill, my sisters took me to this one local spot called Tipacanoe Creamery. I have to say, the ice cream was really good, but it was the design and ambiance that made this place stand out, well, for me.Tipacanoe Creamery is located in the Weeki Wachi Springs Shopping Center, the northeast corner of the Route-19 and SR-50. If it helps, it is literally across the way from Weeki Wachi Springs.Upon entering the establishment, patrons are greeted with an old-timey feel as if they were in the backcountry of newly discovered foraging America. Cabin wood seems to be the overall ambiance Tipacanoe Creamery (which I will shorthand to Tipacanoe for the remainder of this review). Mix in some hipster lighting and you got a unique setting to enjoy your ice cream.Patrons had three size choices for basic scoops of ice cream: one for small, two for medium, three for large. You can mix-and-match flavors with each scoop, too. There were some specialty dessert items like their version of a banana split, but I wanted to try the ice cream straight up, first. I will be back because I have family that lives nearby.Overall, the ice cream was good, but it did not stand out from other flavors I had. Even their "unique" flavors, though good, were not too unique compared to other places (Sampaguita in Orlando comes to mind).However, the service and ambiance is what makes up for it. The place was packed and the line was long BUT the service was decently quick (I give some grace for new places) and there seemed to be enough seating compared to the customers who stayed to those who left after getting their ice cream.On a sidenote, the restrooms were clean and that is a big deal for me, too.Ultimately, I give Tipacanoe a four out of five stars for their outstanding initial performance on this initial outing. The ice cream doesn't stand out, but is still good, the service was decently quick for a new place, and the ambiance was cool to take in along with enough seating being available.I even rang their bell for a "Good Job." I guess they took that little tidbit from Arby's.

I had a favorite ice cream place around the area for the longest time and this one knocked them out of the top spot! Every flavor of ice cream is homemade and incredibly delicious. The staff is friendly and so helpful. They'll let you taste test anything you'd like and answer any and all questions without making you feel like you're an annoyance. They always have the staple flavors that you would expect an ice cream shop to have, but they rotate through their unique flavors so there's always something new and/or seasonal to try! Their waffle cones are homemade too, so they're fresh and crispy and so so tasty! This place is by far the best place in our area for ice cream!

Best ice cream in Florida hands down! Service was great, amazing people.Ambiance was awesome! Great place for family

We loved the service and the atmosphere of Tipacanoe. The ice cream and the water ice was amazing. We will go back soon.

My son and I were visiting from out of state and in search of some ice cream. We hit the jackpot when we found this place. Upon walking in you can smell the delicious scent of freshly made waffle cones. We were immediately greeted by welcoming and friendly staff. We were able to sample any flavors we were interested in. We both ordered a cup of ice cream that was so yummy! The owner had mentioned there would be a few new flavors the next day so of course we had to come back for more! We had strawberry shortcake and chocolate bourbon cake. I am still dreaming of this ice cream and considering booking a flight just to get some more :)

Great new ice shop . Lots of flavors to choose from. . I tried the tiramisu ice cream and it was delicious . Nice clean place with very knowledgeable and friendly staff . What a wonderful addition to the plaza

Loved the ice cream choices. Manager was very friendly. I love supporting family owned businesses. We went back multiple times on our vacation to the river.

The owner is so personable and customer focused. The ice cream is delicious and unique and full of flavor. Highly recommend visiting this shop.
