Since opening in Bay Shore in 1985, Coyle’s Ice Cream has grown into a family-run community gathering place built around homemade ice cream. Its three Long Island shops carry on that local tradition while supporting nearby schools, charities, and community events.
Coutts Ice CreamCoutts Ice Cream began in 2010 when the Coutts family decided Paupack Blueberry Farm’s fresh local blueberries deserved better than a manufactured ice cream, so they started making their own premium homemade ice cream. The family-run shop also makes homemade fudge and gives local growers space to sell produce when available.HAWLEY, PA
Ice Cream CottageSince opening in March 1990, Ice Cream Cottage has made premium ice cream and custom ice cream cakes in historic Mastic, Long Island. Its Chocolate Overdose was voted Best Chocolate Ice Cream by Newsday in 2012, and the shop won Newsday’s Best Ice-Cream Cone on Long Island by popular vote in 2016. The cottage-style shop also keeps more than 100 cakes in stock for pickup.MASTIC, NY
Mitchell's HomemadeFounded by brothers in 1999, Mitchell’s Homemade makes hand-crafted ice cream in small batches at its Ohio City Kitchen, where the production is visible from the shop. The Cleveland-area company builds its flavors around local dairy, seasonal ingredients and homemade components, while also making ice cream cakes and pies for celebrations. Its community role extends beyond the scoop counter through catering and support for fundraising events benefiting education, health and the arts.WESTLAKE, OH
