WHAT WE BELIEVE
We are in business to serve our guests. We are all members of our family in spirit. Positive reinforcement, team building and a true sense of belonging are concepts promoted for all personnel and throughout the Company.
HOW WE BEHAVE
Our Company is founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and hard work. The foundation of our success is built on living these values and following the Guiding Principles. Everyone works together to provide a great guest experience and an enjoyable work environment. All of us from the President to the team members in the restaurants have a role and a responsibility in our mutual success.
Every creamy ice cream concoction we create is made with pride and love locally in St. Louis. As a Microcreamery we make ice cream the way is was made in the good 'ol days. All of the milk we use is from local, grass-fed, pasture-raised, hormone and RBST-free cows. We combine our proprietary dairy base with the finest handpicked ingredients from around the world to churn up a decadent 16-18% butterfat ice cream.
All of our recipes are developed from scratch in our 5000 sq ft ice cream kitchen. Starting with real, natural ingredients, real people create every candy, cookie, cake, and sauce that you’ll find in our ice creams. We take pride in our handcrafted ice cream, and you’ll taste the love in every bite as we strive to give you the best ice cream in St. Louis and quite possibly the world.
