The Story

The screen door creaked just right as you stepped into Carmel Creamery, a delightful retro parlor in Pawling, where time slows down to enjoy simpler pleasures. Inside, the sweet scent of fresh waffle cones mingled with happy chatter, painting a perfect picture of small-town charm. Every scoop of rich, creamy ice cream felt like a little taste of summer sunshine, making the heart feel full and content.

    Tastes alright, but a little small on the servings? Also this was a coffee cookie crumb or something like that, and i maybe got ONE cookie crumb? This is 2 scoops of ice cream.. Barely fills the cup and for almost $7 lol, I guess I need to clarify - NONE was eaten, This is straight out of the freezer when I brought it home and took the lid off - Obviously wouldn't have posted "half eaten" ice cream...

    Normby is a great addition to Pawling. They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors plus non-dairy options and even pup cups! The ice cream is homemade and you can taste the difference. The staff were very friendly and helpful answering our questions. On our first visit we also met the owners! I recently tried the non-dairy vanilla chocolate chip and it was so delicious I wouldn’t be able to tell it didn’t have dairy. Normby has a large selection of traditional and unique flavors with new additions! You can also grab a pint to go. We are so happy to have this ice cream shop in town and we will be frequent visitors!

    Homemade ice cream.. you can taste the difference! It’s probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had. My kids love it there. The owners are amazing. Customer service is incredible. We are forever customers. Thanks!

    I tried two samples: the Phoenix and the Ginger Beer Reese's Cup. Neither blew me away but I felt compelled to get something so I got one (very) small scoop of the former, and with tax it came to $5.41. I make my own ice cream and I know the ingredients aren't cheap, but I felt for what you get, it is way overpriced.
