The Creole Creamery

The Creole Creamery is an old fashion ice cream shop nestled in the old McKenzie’s bake shop on Prytania Street.

With some old town charm and mod flavors, this is the place in uptown to get the favorite ice creams, sherbets, and sorbets any way you like. Whether it’s just a basic waffle cone of Blueberry Pie, or the mighty Tchoupitoulous, you are in for a scrumptious treat.

The menu features the old fountain favorites along with creamery specials. The recommended fountain favorite would be the Ice Cream Sampler which gives the indecisive person the way to try mini scopes of the four or six flavors that peaks their interest. For the Creamery Specials, try the Café au Lait Sundae. It’s a real taste of New Orleans because it features an ice cream that tastes just like the typical coffee the locals drink made into a tasty sundae.

When said, “mod flavors” means anything from Tomato-Basil to Cayenne Lime Butter. Their entire list of flavors contains every flavor they have ever had, and there are some very interesting ones.

Since all the flavor and menu items have been covered, it’s time to talk about The Tchoupitoulas Challenge. This “challenge” is to finish an old fashion eight scope sundae (flavors of customer’s choice) with wafers, cherries, and whipped cream in all of its glory. The challenger must finish it on their own in one sitting. The challenge also is only able to be performed at the Prytania Street location. Challenging winners will be forever remembered with their names engraved on the Hall of Fame’s plaque. Good luck to those who attempt and win the challenge.

So when in the mood for ice cream Uptown, check out The Creole Creamery.
