While traveling to the area, people as far away as Pocomoke City told us "if you're going to Chincoteague, you have to go to the Island Creamery". It was great advice.A nice shop, decorated with a lighthouse shaped building. Upon entering you are greeted by the aroma of freshly made waffle cones - yum! Shop was spotless, service was fast and friendly. I had the Mud Marsh - probably the best chocolate ice cream I've had - silky, dark chocolate without too much cream, slight hint of bitterness - amazing!

Loved the ice creams that they had. All the flavors looks so awesome and we wish we could have tasted all of them. My only complaint is that while we were there, we felt rushed and the workers had RBF when we asked for samples. It wasn't even busy.I know it gets busy, but to really experience an ice cream shop, u would need to look at the ice cream itself and not just look at a drawing board of the flavors... If we were on the island longer we would have come back for other flavors.

The ice cream is not to my liking.I tried plain vanilla, butter pecan, and rum raisin. For these flavors, I had a hard time determining what was what. It was basically vanilla, with some added flavoring. Didn't get many pecans in the butter pecan and the raisins in the rum raisin were chewy.Colorful, large space that's family friendly.Even given that, the main thing--their ice cream--doesn't make the grade for me.

The flavors were loaded with toppings! Quality of the ice cream itself was fine as far as your average hard scoop texture. Staff were reasonably friendly and the restaurant was clean. The space is surprisingly larger than you expect of most ice cream shops but it only seems that way during the early hours. In the evenings this place has a line spanning dozens of people and a madhouse of vacationers inside. You can tell lots of families spanning multiple generations are mostly coming here out of tradition.Overall this was a fun touristy to-do if you're in the area.

I am usually waiting in line for the best ice cream on the shore, but it is 1:00pm on a Sunday... and got right back in.

I visit island creamery every time I go to Chincoteague island! They were voted the best ice cream shop in America in 2023 and it's well deserved! They have so many flavors to choose from, anyone (even with dietary restrictions) could easily find something to get! My go to is typically the Oreo flavor. All of their ice cream is homemade and it shows. There are always chunks of Oreos and the ice cream is SO creamy, no ice crystals like you get in your ice cream at some places. My last visit I tried the snickers cheesecake flavor. If you like snickers, you'll love this flavor!There's always a line, even during off season occasionally, but they're so efficient you'll never have to wait in line more than a few minutes. There's parking directly out front of the shop, but that gets full pretty quickly. They have a separate parking area directly across the street and more parking behind the shop. This place is a must visit! Definitely worth the stop if you're anywhere close to Chincoteague.

Competitive parking lot situation during post-meal hours. The poor staff probably spend as much time explaining what's in the various flavors to tourists as they do waiting for people to finish sampling. I don't get the hype. The flavors are alright, with coconut being one of the favorites for our group, but the texture across the board is a little gummy, rather than creamy. The last straw was when I found a small hair in my ice cream. I'd originally planned on hitting up another of their locations to try other flavors like Cherries Jubilee / Rum Raisin / Limoncello, but this experience encouraged me to save my calories for other treats.

Best ice cream in Chincoteague! I love to go here with the kids. And the affogato is perfection! The parking lot is small, so we prefer to ride our bikes and avoid the parking lot. The service never disappoints and they have a great system for the busy crowds. I also bought a long sleeve sweater this time!
