    We were headed to our usual TCBY after my oral surgery, but they were closed. Edgewood Creamery was the only shop open at 11 am. I am so glad! The chocolate soft serve was delicious. So many shops no longer have it, but I am so glad they did. Such a great flavor and not too sweet. My husband had Chocolate Raspberry and Kahlua Almond Fudge! Perfect! There are a variety of flavors as well. The staff was pleasant and welcoming. The shop and bathrooms are very clean. Plenty of seating! Located in a lovely area with shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

    Edgewood Creamery has become one of those places where consistency keeps bringing us back. You know what you are getting, and that matters. The ice cream is always creamy, smooth, and on point. One thing I appreciate is the sheer number of flavors available. There is enough variety that you can stay with your favorites or branch out and try something new every visit. For our family of four today, we ordered three large shakes and one two-scoop bowl. For the shakes, I like that you can mix flavors and create your own combinations. We mixed two different ice cream flavors into two of the shakes. I went with the Twixie and Insta Graham combination. Twix candy bar and vanilla mixed with graham cracker ice cream and graham crackers. Good mix of chocolate, crunch, and graham flavor without one overpowering the other. My wife went with Red Velvet and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Rich combination if you like chocolate-heavy flavors. One of my daughters stayed loyal to her usual Red Velvet shake. Sometimes when you find your favorite, you just leave it alone. My other daughter got two scoops in a cup with Carrot Cake and a caramel flavor. Nice contrast between spice cake flavor and sweetness. Customer service was good as always. Friendly interactions and no issues during the visit. The atmosphere also deserves mention. It has that old-school neighborhood ice cream shop feel. No frills, no trying too hard, just good flavors and a place that lets the ice cream do the talking. Overall thoughts: Edgewood Creamery continues to be our go-to ice cream spot because they deliver consistency and variety. Not every place can keep quality steady while offering this many choices. If you are taking the family out and everyone wants something different, this place checks that box.

    Loved the ice cream and huge selection. I could believe there must have been about 16+ types of chocolate ice cream. Cuos were Styrofoam. Only a few seats, but enough. Very friendly staff. We definitely will go back again.

    One of my favorite places in Homewood. They have SO many flavors and dessert options. Even if your favorite isn't in rotation, there's always another good option to try. It's always busy when I go here, which is a good sign. They're also open later than most ice cream shops which means ice cream is always an option 😊
