How Our Ice Cream Is Made
Every batch starts with sourcing quality ingredients. Real fruits, real chocolate, real vanilla — no artificial flavoring shortcuts. She makes each batch at our Highway 100 production facility using small-batch techniques. The equipment is larger than home ice cream makers, but the process and attention to quality is the same as making it in your own kitchen.
That's why the texture is smooth, the flavors are intense, and each scoop tastes like someone actually cared about making it. Because someone did. Concetta hand-makes bubble gum pieces from scratch before even starting the ice cream base — every bit of detail goes into our ice cream. No shortcuts, no artificial ingredients, just genuine small-batch craftsmanship that you can taste in every scoop.
Concetta hand-making bubble gum from scratch for our Bubble Gum ice cream
This is what sets us apart from chain ice cream shops and grocery store pints. When you taste our Banana Pudding or our Loaded Sweet Potato, you're tasting a recipe that was developed, tested, and refined by someone who genuinely loves ice cream. Real ingredients. Real process. Real flavor.
And Concetta never stops. She's always developing new flavors — some inspired by seasonal ingredients, some by customer requests, some that just appear one morning because she had an idea. The 50+ flavors on this list represent everything she's made, but the case is always evolving. Call (931) 729-3481 to find out what's fresh today.

Vanilla
Our house-made vanilla is rich, creamy, and complex — made with real vanilla beans. The benchmark that makes other vanillas feel hollow.
Chocolate
Deep, bittersweet chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate. Not sweetened cocoa — real chocolate flavor, through and through.
Strawberry
Bright, fresh, and bursting with actual strawberry flavor. No artificial anything. The kind of strawberry ice cream you remember from childhood.
Banana Pudding
Banana pudding in ice cream form — creamy banana base with bits of vanilla wafer folded in. A Southern classic elevated to something special.
Pecan Praline
Buttery praline sauce swirled through a rich vanilla base, loaded with caramelized pecans. This one tastes like Nashville in autumn.
Cookies & Cream
Chunks of real Oreos in a pure cream base. Enough cookie to taste in every bite, not just a dark streak you have to dig for.
Rocky Road
Chocolate base with toasted marshmallows and almonds. The classic camping-trip flavor, made from scratch and tasting like it.
Salted Caramel
House-made caramel sauce with a genuine hit of sea salt. Sweet, buttery, complex — the kind of flavor that turns first-timers into regulars.
Milk Chocolate
Smooth, creamy milk chocolate — lighter than dark chocolate but with a pure, clean cocoa flavor. The crowd-pleaser that belongs in every case.
Blueberry
Plump blueberry flavor that's more jam than syrup — jammy, fruity, slightly tart. Pairs beautifully with our waffle cone.
Wildberry
A blend of blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry that creates something more interesting than any single berry alone. Deep, complex, gorgeous purple color.
Cheesecake
Tastes like the filling of a perfect New York cheesecake — tangy, rich, and creamy. Not cake-flavored. Actual cheesecake.
Zonkers
Our mystery mix that changes batch to batch. Whatever's going on, it's caramel-adjacent and addictive. Ask the staff — they'll give you a hint.
Bees Knees
Local honey ice cream with a subtle floral sweetness. Made with real Tennessee wildflower honey. Delicate, sweet, and completely unlike anything else.

Silky, bright lemon curd flavor without any tartness — just pure sunshine. Cleansing and light, the perfect palate reset between richer flavors.
Loaded Sweet Potato
Roasted sweet potato base with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of marshmallow. Tastes like Thanksgiving dessert in frozen form.

Cinnamon Toast
Warm, toasty cinnamon swirled through a sweet cream base. Tastes like the best bite of cinnamon toast you've ever had.
Death By Chocolate
Triple chocolate — dark chocolate base, fudge swirl, chocolate chips. For the person who thinks regular chocolate ice cream isn't chocolate enough.
Dubai Chocolate
Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate trend — pistachio, knafeh, and chocolate in ice cream form. Rich, exotic, and completely worth the hype.
Buttermint Chip
Buttery mint base with dark chocolate chips — like mint chip, but smoother and richer. The mint is cool but not medicinal. Perfect balance.
Caramel Apple
Crisp apple flavor with ribbons of buttery caramel throughout. Tastes exactly like the caramel apple from a fall festival, but cold.
Thickmint
The mint-forward version of mint chip — heavy on the cool, fresh peppermint flavor. Almost herbal. For people who love mint more than anything else.
Bubblegum
Concetta makes the bubblegum pieces from scratch before mixing them in. Pink, playful, and nostalgic in a way that makes adults briefly become children again.
Cotton Candy
Soft, airy, and unmistakably county-fair cotton candy flavor. Light and sweet — this one photographs beautifully and tastes even better.
Maple Walnut
Rich Vermont-style maple syrup base with buttery toasted walnuts. Sophisticated and deeply satisfying — the New England diner flavor perfected.
Black Currant
Intense, jewel-like berry flavor — slightly tart, deeply purple, completely unique. The ice cream equivalent of a fine wine. Not for the timid.
Passionfruit
Tropical, floral, and just tart enough — passionfruit is one of those flavors that makes you close your eyes involuntarily. A brief vacation in a scoop.
Peach
Summer in Tennessee tastes like this. Fresh peach flavor at its ripest, with a natural sweetness you can't fake. Seasonal for a reason.
Pumpkin Pie
All the warm spices of a great pumpkin pie — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove — in a creamy pumpkin base. Fall's best argument for itself.
Lemon Bar
Bright lemon curd filling meets buttery shortbread crust, all in ice cream form. Tart, sweet, rich, and powdered-sugar-on-top perfect.
Cinnamon Bun
A hot-from-the-oven cinnamon roll in frozen form. Cream cheese frosting swirl, cinnamon-sugar ribbons, soft dough flavor. Breakfast as dessert. Yes.
Strawberry Lemonade
The Saturday afternoon drink made solid. Bright strawberry meets zingy lemon in a refreshing, fruity combo that's almost too easy to eat.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry
Fresh strawberry ice cream ribboned with dark chocolate ganache. The Valentine's Day treat you can eat all year. Romantic by default.
Monkey Around
Banana foster flavors — banana, caramel, brown sugar, and a hint of rum essence. Rich, tropical, and surprisingly sophisticated for its name.
Butterscotch Swirl
Deep, buttery butterscotch ribboned through smooth vanilla cream. Tastes like the pudding from scratch, not from a box. Warm, nostalgic, excellent.
Brown Sugar Bourbon
Brown sugar base with whiskey-kissed caramel and a hint of oak. Tennessee-proud and grown-up. The flavors of a backporch evening condensed.
Caramel Macchiato
For the coffee shop regular — espresso-forward with swirls of vanilla and caramel on top. Exactly like the drink, but you eat it with a spoon.

Our nod to Prohibition-era cocktail culture — subtle bourbon vanilla with a hint of cherry. Sophisticated, a little dangerous, completely delicious.

Mocha Almond Fudge
Espresso and chocolate with roasted almond bits throughout. Rich, complex, and deeply satisfying — the coffee lover's dessert of choice.
Matcha
Ceremonial-grade matcha with just enough cream to round the edges. Earthy, vegetal, slightly bitter — exactly as matcha should be. No shortcuts.
Arnold Palmer
Half sweet tea, half lemonade — the classic Georgia golfer's drink in ice cream form. Sweet, tannic, bright, and endlessly refreshing.
Coconut Curry Cashew
Our wildest flavor: creamy coconut milk base with toasted cashews and a gentle hit of curry warmth. Sounds strange. Tastes incredible. The adventurous eat here.
Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
Yes, really. Fresh strawberry ice cream with aged balsamic vinegar swirled through — tangy, complex, and the flavor combination Italian grandmothers have known for centuries.
Maple Bacon
Sweet maple base with crispy candied bacon bits throughout. Tennessee's answer to the breakfast dilemma: why can't dessert be breakfast? It can.
Lavender Honey
Fragrant culinary lavender and local Tennessee honey in a delicate cream base. Floral, elegant, and impossibly soothing. Like aromatherapy you can eat.
Birthday Cake
Yellow cake batter with rainbow sprinkles and vanilla frosting swirl. Sweet, celebratory, and unapologetically fun. Every day can be a birthday.

Chocolate ice cream studded with Reese's-style peanut butter cups and a peanut butter ribbon. The salty-sweet combination that never, ever gets old.
Blueberry Cheesecake

Butter Pecan
Rich, buttery vanilla base loaded with toasted pecans throughout. Classic Southern comfort — simple, satisfying, and impossible to stop at one scoop.

A blend of wild forest fruits — blackberry, raspberry, and elderberry notes in a rich, jewel-toned base. Complex, slightly tart, and deeply purple. Like picking berries in the woods.
Only 18 flavors are on display at any time. This list shows all flavors we make — call (931) 729-3481 to ask what's in the case today.
The Mystery Flavor
One spot in our display case is always unlabeled. The mystery flavor changes without warning — sometimes daily. It might be a new creation we're testing for the first time. It might be a returning favorite that customers have been asking about. It might be something completely wild that Concetta cooked up that morning.
The only way to know is to ask our staff for a hint, or just be brave and try it blind. Mystery flavor fans treat it like a game, coming in specifically to guess what's hiding in the unlabeled container. Some regulars make it their mission to be the first to identify each new mystery flavor. What will it be when you visit?
