Mmmmm delicious! A great stop on the way back from the Delaware beach. There were a ton of flavors to choose from, as well as ways to have your ice cream: milkshake, in a cup, sugar cone, homemade waffle cone. There are also a lot of toppings too- including "wet nuts," which apparently are walnuts in maple syrup, must be a local thing! The only downsides- long wait, only one bathroom (with a looooong line) and tacky signs on the glass to not touch the glass. I am so glad we stopped and I would definitely go again! read more

Just a great little spot to pick up ice cream, a milkshake, a pint, or even some milk or cheese. Right on the farm so expect that down-home smell outside as you enjoy a cone next to the cows that helped make it. I always get some sort of peanut butter and birthday cake milkshake - my two favorite flavors combined. I often put it in the freezer because it's a big one! read more

Awesome ice cream! I love the strawberry! But the brownie is just as good. If you haven't tried it you SHOULD

AMAZING ICE CREAM! We stopped here on our way home and ended up getting ice cream and cheese! so delish! read more

The ice cream was quite good! Soft texture and nice flavors. I am spoiled now and it didn't quiiiiiiite measure up to that one place in Pomfret, CT. But it was very good. Oddly enough I was annoyed by how large the serving was. When I order 1 scoop I do not want 2.5! I can't imagine eating that much ice cream, honestly. And I am not some tiny little thing. I think you can tell by the number of reviews I have that I love to eat! But this was a lot of ice cream. Well, anyway, I really did enjoy this place, and I will certainly visit again and maybe see if they will just give me a kid's portion! The waffle cone was crisp and so tasty too. There is a nice big shady porch to sit on if you happen to have your doggie with you. (Or your llama or komodo dragon or whatever.) If you are on your way to Bethany or Rehoboth, make time to stop at this sweet little place. read more

This place is so cute. I love it! And it was right on the cow farm. A perfect setting just off of the side of the highway. Make sure to stop by if your ever passing through. We got milkshakes and they were very good. They had waffle cones that they were making fresh. They also had milk and cheese. #vandwendes #farmfreshicecream #creamery #icecream #milk #cheese read more

Amazing ice cream--so good!! It's worth a trip to the beach. Love the waffle cones, they are made while you wait. The best ice cream EVER!! I would say that every ice cream pales to their ice cream read more

I heard about this place on a article I found on fb. So I decided to stop by here on the way to Rehoboth beach. Super yummy ice cream, made from the milk of the cows on the farm. Also, the scoops are huge and you get your money's worth. Definitely will stop by again! read more

If you've ever wanted to stop here and didn't, or you were breaking land speed records as you flew by on 404 just slow down and stop!! This is hands down the freshest, best tasting ice cream I've ever had and you can't beat their prices! Oh and did I mention you can sit outside and see the actual cows that helped make your ice cream? The staff is friendly, the shop is adorable and if the place looks crowded, don't be deterred. The lines move fairly quickly and it's worth the wait. read more

Vanderwende's - Hands down the freshest, best tasting ice cream ever! Worth the stop every time. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bridgeville, Delaware

Wow, we passed this place on the way into Ocean City and on the way home we made it a point to stop! So glad we did. It was about 11:45 am and the parking lot was filling up as we were making out decisions. Never in my life have I had ice cream such as this. Everything was so fresh and real! I had one scoop ($2) of the berry cheesecake, which had full plump blackberries inside, and he stuck with two scoops ($3) of chocolate. These "scoops" were mounding and were worth way more to us than Vanderwendes was charging. I have nothing bad to say here, I brag on their quality, quantity and price points. If you are anywhere within 100 miles of this place, you should make it a point to stop! You will not be disappointed! read more

Vanderwende's - One scoop - $2 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bridgeville, Delaware

Alright I'm going to try and make it through this review without one cow pun. Driving back from the Delaware beaches last weekend, I made an almost immediate pull over as soon as I saw the sign for Vanderwende. Homemade ice cream fresh from the source? Yes please. For it being winter in the middle of farm country, this place had a decent amount of people in it. I was expecting just a few different flavors but man was I wrong. The list was filled with many different flavors. And on top of that, there were several seasonal additions to that. I decided to get a scoop from each menu, chocolate chip and maple walnut. I was not ready for what was about to hit me... Just as a number of other people have mentioned, the serving sizes here are gigantic. Almost too big. But I'm not going to say no to generous offerings. It's incredible the difference between Vanderwende and ice cream you would get in the grocery store. The flavors are more pronounced. It has just the right amount of sweetness. The wall of sugar cone sweetness that hits you as you walk in is enticing enough! I would recommend this to any and all ice cream lovers! When you're passing through Bridgeville, definitely give Vanderwende a stop. If not for the ice cream, then for the beautiful scenery and time with the cows. read more

This ice-cream parlor gets my first 5 star rating. It was SOOOO good! Exceeded expectations with generous portions and inexpensive prices. I couldn't believe it. One scoop is $2. Two scoops is $3. Fresh waffle cones $1. And a scoop is not a scoop, it's like infinity. read more

Vanderwende's - Ice-cream made from fresh cream from the moo cows. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bridgeville, Delaware

There is absolutely nothing better. My fiance and I stopped in earlier today and both got milkshakes- coconut and the apple pie. Both were delicious! Always worth a stop on the way to the beach. read more

Favorite ice cream pit stop on the way to Ocean City. With the dairy farm located behind this ice creamery and cows peeking through the fences, this little hidden gem is great for all to enjoy a cone on any given day. read more

Sweet mother of Jesus. I have never had better ice cream in my life. If you ever pass by, go here, but get multiple quarts, else you'll be regretting that you didn't. All of the ice cream flavors are the best for that type of ice cream I've ever had. The ice cream here should be illegal, because it's more addictive than crack. read more

Amazing Ice-cream black raspberry ice cream is my favourite can't wait to go back again. Best ice cream I have ever had highly recommended and work the visit really nice big portions. read more

Simply the freshest and creamiest ice cream around! The flavor selection is extensive and fits any palate and their seasonal flavors are tasty as well. The fruit flavored ice creams (I tried banana and peach) were fantastic and contained chunks of fresh fruit so you know it's homemade and uses the real thing! Definitely worth the stop on the way to or from the beach!! read more

Great afternoon pit stop to break up the drive home from the shore. Great selection of flavors, all delicious. Our family tried the cookies & cream, coconut, peanut butter fudge tracks, cookie dough, and strawberry. Our son's strawberry was the favorite. Very generous portions, welcoming service, clean place! Great prices, too. read more

Wow. Terrific ice cream. Creamy and tasty. And an excellent value ... a $2 "one" scoop is like 2 or 3 times the amount of a Baskin Robbins scoop ... for half the price. This was my first time there and I wanted to try different flavors so I made the "mistake" of getting three scoops (for $4 ... cheap!). Holy moly, it was way too much ... equal to like 10 scoops of ice cream. Embarrassingly, I ate it ALL. Mocha almond fudge was great. Coconut was really good. Vanilla fudge ripple was yummy. Peanut butter was too much. read more

You can taste the premium quality of the favors in every lick. I would think that these ice cream was made at heaven and delivered fresh every morning. I love the strawberry and coffee. All other favors are delicious too. Try and know I am right. read more

Vanderwende's - Chillin with my best friend, the Giant Ice Cream cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bridgeville, Delaware

Pretty disappointed. Came out on recommendations and hoped to get milk and cheese from those cows right outside the shop as raved about. But all the cheese was from a place in Pennsylvania! And all the milk was skim! What a rip off. As the non-local nor fatty icing on the cake, we tasted a few ice creams and settled on which to get, only to be sent to the end of a pretty long line to order after already waiting in line to get the tastes. We just walked out. read more

Delicious. Value. Friendly. Plenty of ice cream flavors to choose from. Plenty of parking. Picnic tables for outdoor seating

Just thinking about this place is making my mouth water. Like the other reviewers, my friend and I were on a trip to somewhere else and passed by Vanderwende Farm on the way. Neither one of us are big on sweets and ice cream, but who among us can pass up fresh, homemade ice cream? This stuff is amazing. I had one scoop of strawberry (which looked like 3 scoops) and my friend had an apple pie shake. We both liked it so much we stopped by again on the way back home and shared one scoop of cookies and creme. If you are anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and make time to stop by. Happy eats! read more

I will reiterate what everyone else on yell raves about this place. The ice cream is the best. The portions are huge. The price is very reasonable. "Very reasonable" might be an understatement. 2 HUGE scoops for only $3! This place is awesome. A must stop to and from the beaches. No complaints. I had salted caramel and cookies and cream. Great combo. My fiancé had coconut and peach. Another winning combo. Enjoy! read more

Not exactly sure what the hype is all about. The ice cream was fair at best and the cheese we purchased was thrown away after tasting it. Apparently some people like it judging by the line that was out the door - maybe they have not experienced anything better? It was a one time stop for me. read more

It's the most delicious thing I've eaten an ice cream in Delaware my taste is chocolate, strawberries and coffee Every time I'm going to work there read more

This place has some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I've driven by this place at least 10 times and finally went in. I actually went in for cheese but ended up coming out with ice cream. I was hoping for an array of raw cheeses or something along those lines but this is not a cheese store. There were only 3 people in the store other than me and the woman in front of me was just standing there. I asked the girl at the counter if I could order since that woman was just standing there and she just shook her head like she didn't know what to do. I felt like an addict getting mad at someone taking a long time to order, or not order for that matter. After about 5 minutes and me pretending to walk around the store more, I asked the woman if I could go in front of her and I ordered. Maybe it was just that day but there was no system and the people who were working were afraid to speak up to their customers. read more

Sometimes we drive 67 miles each way just to get this ice cream! Sincerely! It's the BEST!!!

A trip to the beach isn't complete without a stop at Vanderwende's! Amazing ice cream, generous portions, good prices, friendly service, and terrific view. The only downside is waiting a whole year to go back! Highly recommend!! read more

Literally some of the best ice cream you will ever try. Birthday cake is my personal favorite, but I haven't had a flavor I did not like. Expect long lines in the summer, like out the door long. The line has always moved at a good pace though. read more
