Small-batch ice cream churned every morning a block from the beach — salted caramel with real flake salt, sorbet from local beach plums, chocolate dark enough to mean it.
Fourteen churning at any time — here's what people are lining up for. Dairy-free marked in green.
Two scoops is a fine afternoon. But if you're celebrating something — or just walked the whole beach — go bigger.
We started churning in a garage two streets from Silver Sands in 2009 — one machine, a chalkboard, and a stubborn idea that a scoop shop should make its own. We still do: local dairy, real fruit, small batches, sold out when it's sold out.
Fifteen years later there's a real window and a line down the block on July nights. The garage machine still runs the beach-plum sorbet.
"The beach-plum sorbet tastes like the shoreline in August. I get it every single visit."
"Sound Salt with the flake salt on top. My kids get the twist. Everybody's happy walking home."
"Actual dairy-free options that taste like something, not an afterthought. The mango sorbet is unreal."
