“Yum! We bought 5 or 6 pints for a family birthday party and it was a hit. I was able to try 3 flavors- the Matcha Man, pumpkin, and dairy free coconut were all awesome. So creamy and flavorful but not too sweet- just unique enough but completely balanced. Customer service is top notch and owner is friendly and caring. Win win win!“

“SO many great flavors to choose from; roasted strawberry will spoil you on regular strawberry ice cream forever! The cannoli ice cream(with mini cannoli shell) was excellent. My daughter always gets a sweet little macaron on top of whatever she chooses. It’s such a great spot to grab a great scoop (or two!) of ice cream.“

She had a queue of 11 ice creams and she knocked them all out with ease and efficiency. She was super polite and super professional. ON A SATURDAY AT 5pm!!! What a rockstar! Thanks girl!

“I love the non dairy options. The customer service is usually awful but the good ice cream cancels it out for me each time. 🤣 They need training, they treat you as if you ordering bothers them. No smiles no greeting just tilted heads and attitude. One lady was so dismissive to us and had the nerve to make us wait while she trained two girls on milkshakes. We were like hello and she literally ignored my husband. 🤭 5 stars to the non dairy ice cream though.“

They offer dairy and vegan rotating flavors, which pro: you get to look forward to new/seasonal flavors - but con: they might be gone by the time you go! But, that's a great excuse to get soft serve 2x per month.

Their vegan Watermelon dole whip x Vanilla was truly one of my top 3, and I can't wait to try their Thai tea!!“

The staff is always friendly, and the warm cookies right out of the oven are a delightful treat. Highly recommend the classic chocolate chip—it's simply unbeatable!

“We went to another location that was closed and called this one ahead(Sunday). This time we called ahead and they were open! We drove further with our newborn and our twin boys only to find out that neither of us had our wallets 🤦🏽‍♂️ slightly annoyed, I grabbed the keys to head home so we could pay. The manager recognized my wife’s voice and understood we already drove to another location to be let down and offered take care of our tab. This is such a blessing, it’s already hard get out of the house when you have a baby, and it turned everything around just from their recognition of what we were experiencing already. Glad we came to this spot, the kids loved it and we highly recommend visiting if you’re in - or even outside of the area!“

All Berries Capt Crunch with Whip Cream and Caramel Drizzle

“One Way is one of my favorite places to get ice cream in the RVA!

This store is odd in that when you first walk in, you’ll be greeted to an entirely empty store with no one at the counter. The people who run this creamery run the One Way market across the street simultaneously and usually stay over there. Once they see you walk into the ice cream store, they’ll come over. I’ve seen a lot of people come into One Way Cream & Goodies and when they don’t see anyone or it takes a second for a worker to walk over, they’ll leave without getting anything which is a shame because the ice cream and milk shakes there are amazing. If you choose to do their make your own milkshake / ice cream option (I forget the exact term they use), you start with either vanilla or chocolate ice cream, then you get to add your choice of cereal, a “goodie” (a topping / baked good treat), a drizzle, and even your choice flavor of whipped cream. They also sell ice cream by the scoop with a couple of flavors to choose from, and they have signature milkshakes (such as Death By Chocolate) for those who can’t choose on all 5 aspects of a BYO shake.“
