Old Town Creamery, Carrollton

When the original Old Town Creamery was about to go out of business, Ayesha and Hussain Kedwaii knew they had to act. The pair were longtime customers of the independently owned ice cream shop, known for both its rich, classic flavors, as well as surprising exotic twists such as Cashew Raisin and Saffron. The Kedwaiis decided they had to keep the Old Town legacy going, and so they bought the beloved ice cream shop and made a few adjustments to the formula. Once hidden behind the counter for select customers, those unique, Indian-inspired flavors are now front and center in the dessert case, along with several new varieties such as Fruit Medley, Thai Delight, and Banana. They've also whittled down the menu to include a select number of rotating flavors, which ensures that each scoop is fresh and won't bore customers with stories about the golden days of radio. Holiday themed flavors include Ginger Bread, Pumpkin Pie, Fruit Medley, Peppermint, and Eggnog. In addition to the unique line-up of flavors, icy treats can adopt extra flavor and texture from a menu of mix-ins ranging from candy pieces to fresh fruit and nuts, and all ice creams can make a star appearance at special occasions in the form of one of the shop's made-to-order ice-cream cakes.
