This place is not well-labeled, and incredibly hard to find.
There is a dying sign out front, with an arrow pointing around back. I went around back, and it was forklifts and crates. The only door on the side is this sketchy blue one (the entire alley is littered with graffiti, construction vehicles, and abandoned buildings).
Faded almost so you can’t see it anymore are hours. I decided to hobble up the stairs (not handicapped accessible), and try the door.
It worked!
I found myself in an old waiting room with a window like you’re in the doctors office.
I told the man in the chair that I was looking for ice cream.
He asked which flavors I wanted.
I asked which flavors he had. “You have no signs or anything” I said.
He listed some off the top of his head: “maple walnut, vanilla…” and a few others.
I asked if he had any chocolate anything. He went back to check and came back to say “no.”
Finally another guy can in with this list, and began checking off the few they had: 10 flavors.
We settled on a maple walnut (1/2 gallon for 7.50) and I extended a card.
“We don’t take card” he said.
I asked “where do you sell your ice cream? Because clearly it isn’t the type of place where people come to the storefront. It’s so obscure to find, you don’t know what flavors you have, it’s barely labeled, and you don’t take card even.
He said people order for pick up.
There are signs in the walls indicating that this was once a thriving operation.
Now…it feels sketchy.
Lots of people reviewing say that they are a commercial place…that’s not why I was told. It was all so odd, but, if they largerly sell retail, that would explain a lot.
It’s just I asked “what stores could I go to that you guys supply the ice cream” and he said “people just order here for pick up.” So…don’t know.
Not the place you come to on a hot day to get a cone. If you want a half gallon, you’ll have to stop by the atm first and it os up a flight of stairs.

Puritan Ice Cream is a commercial manufacturer of high quality ice cream for ice cream stands, restaurants, and private label. This is a commercial food producer. There is no sit down area here and no food delivery pick up for takeout. Google and other search services have this wrong. As a good neighbor policy they will sometimes sell large 3-gallon or half-gallon packaging to locals or to schools for special events but there is no formal retail operation here either.

Great ice cream - $7 per half gallonThey have a delicious new flavor, blueberry crumble, which would be amazing on warm blueberry pie.We actually bought a stand-up freezer which we load with a dozen or so flavors for the summer.

I had a million questions about this place, and here are the answers I found today:1. They're an ice cream wholesaler but sell half and 3 gallon containers to the public weekdays 9-2, year round2. If you're a general public customer, you enter through the red door on the left side of the building. It has the office's hours hand-written on the door.3. When you walk in, you walk into a tiny room with a window into the office. Someone was sitting in the office and he was very friendly.4. If you tell them a general sense of what kind of ice cream you want, they'll tell you what they have that day5. They're cash only. The 1/2 gallon of ice cream I got was $7
Happy that I was able to catch them still open when I did, they clise at 2pm during week which makes it hard for a person that works until 4pm. Puritan ice cream are well worth it.
