So good! Owner is very nice too !!

Ice cream tasted freezer burnt. The old man working also wasn’t very friendly. I felt anxious to ask for another sample because of his unfriendly responses to my first attempt for a sample.

Delicious ice cream! You may want better signs in the store. People we often unsure of the ordering process. We came back twice on our trip. Great experience!

A lovely ice cream treat. Chatted with the owner who has been there 42 years!;;

An all cash establishment in the middle of plasticville. Yes please. This is the place to get the icecream fix. And it will take you back.

Yoder’s Southern Creamery is served here. It is great.
$4.75 for a single scoop.
They have other yummy things for sale as well.

Prices are good. Icecream was freezer burned. Not like Yoders in grocery stores or Yoder shop in Sarasota. Maybe due
to bad location.

A real deal well established Ice Cream in a historic location. It's cash only, but there's an ATM inside. This place is worth a visit because the local vibes and the owner is there to serve you. There's decades of history here based on the faded photos of years past and lots of good times that are in people's memories. I would recommend taking your family here when visiting and making a new memory. I love places like this and love to support them.

Big Olaf Creamery, Sarasota: Delicious Ice Cream, Best for Takeaway!
Big Olaf Creamery in Sarasota is a popular spot, and for good reason: the ice cream was great! They offer a fantastic selection of flavors, and each scoop was rich, creamy, and exactly what you crave from a classic ice cream parlor.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind for your visit. It can get a little crowded, especially during peak times, and the seating area is quite restricted. If you're looking for a leisurely sit-down experience, you might find it a bit tight. Also, be prepared that they only take cash, so make sure you have some on hand before you go.

Despite these minor points, if you want your ice cream to go, this is definitely the place! The quality of the ice cream makes any small inconvenience worth it. Grab your favorite flavor (or two!), enjoy a stroll, and savor a truly delicious treat from Big Olaf Creamery. We'll certainly be back for more scoops to go!

CASH ONLY, ATM available inside. The place needs a major remodel to bring it back from the 70s. But my issue is not the vibe but the ice-cream itself. I dont think they have a big turnaround despite selling some of the best ice-cream.

Ice portions and prices much too big.

Dairy free options! Chocolate mousse and strawberry. One was so good that I went back the next day to try the other. 😋

The ice cream was delicious and the owner was so incredibly sweet and funny. We loved meeting him and will definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

Great ice cream. Be prepared to pay a bit more than normal. But they make their own waffle cones so that's a plus

Any place that serves yoders ice cream is awesome! Great location and nice staff
