Big Spoon Creamery

Did you know that any fruit with a stone in the center (more commonly called a pit) is classified as a stone fruit?! For our Stone Fruit Sorbet, we blend together plums, peaches, and nectarines for a sweet, slightly tart scoop!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been an amazing harvest for stone fruits, but the season is nearly over — stop by one of our shops today to enjoy one last scoop before it’s gone! We’re open in Avondale, Homewood and Huntsville until 9pm!

A moment for the ✨ Banana Split ✨

Our take on this classic treat is taken to the next level with one show-stopping addition — the bruleed banana, caramelized to perfection for an added crunch! Paired with vanilla bean ice cream, pineapple passion fruit compote, honey graham crumble and vanilla whipped cream, this sundae is over the top in the very best way!

Swing in this Labor Day weekend for a double scoop of Black Forrest Brownie! Cream cheese ice cream layered with our fudge rum brownies, dark chocolate flake, and Italian Amarena cherries!

The American Dream Sammie will return to Avondale tomorrow to celebrate our 10 year Anniversary!!

Sammie details:
Vanilla malt ice cream sandwiched between two honey graham cookies, dipped in dark chocolate and finished with salted roasted peanuts!

In our early days, this Sammie showed me if I can dream it, I can create it. At the time of this creation, we were happily working out of a 300 square foot window-less kitchen. That kitchen helped me realize the sky is the limit, and to always dream big!
