Stopped in for family ice cream stop as we were cruising through Ellensburg. Ice cream was delicious- family had an assortment of ice cream and shakes - service was friendly and it's a cute mom and pops establishment connected to a cute store! read more

No prices or menu in the drive thru. Just Specials & bakery pictures. 30 minutes to get through 2 cars. These have been standard for about 5 years. But today.... I waited out of the drive thru for 2 cars to get through (a third pulled in & left) then I went in and guessed an order at the person. Pretty dang friendly. We jived a little, it was fun, we made it work. I will now replay the conversation as it followed: Emp: "Can I get'cha anything else?" Me: "Ah, sure [X]" Emp: "We don't have [X]. I thiiiink that [Y] is about the closest" Me: "Well I'll do it" Emp: "Excellent. You want a cookie?" Me: "Uuuummmm..." Emp: "M&m, only here for a short time" Me: "Uuuhh, sure." Emp: "Why don't you just get one of every cookie?" Me: "Naw...I don't think I can swing tha-" Emp: "Why not?" ........ Me: "-Wha?" Emp: "Why not?" Me: "I... don't want an-" Emp: "Why not? They're only a dollar each." Me: "Huh- um- they are? Okay..." Emp: "Yeah!" *adds them to order* "Yep, they're $1.39 each" Me: "Wai-" Emp: "Are you on drugs?" *stunned silence* Me: "Aw yeah, yeah of course" Emp: "Really?" Me: "uh, nevermind" Emp: "So you're sober?" This person was now staring into my soul. I thought that was a joke. Emp: "When was the last time?" Me: "I mean, my liver's clean." Emp: "So you're not sober..." They sank their head. They looked genuinely heartbroken They then spent the next 15 minutes trying to convince me to go to rehab, cut me off every time I tried to answer their questions, then ended with trying to bring me to Jesus. I mentioned money issues in regular conversation, and they cut me off to scream that I needed to get off drugs. To emphasize, I am not on drugs, and I do know Jesus. However, this employee had already decided my reality. Then they asked for a tip. Recap: -No menu or prices at the drive thru -How is it possible for an ice cream parlor to take so long? -Interaction started alright. That was bait. -Got hit with the ~lying~~upsell~~Evangelize~ switcheroo And the cookies suck read more

My husband and I loved this place. It was a must stop by place when passing through Ellensburg. We even recommended this place to friends and family. Unfortunately after today we will no longer be supporting this business. With the service we received and the cake pop covered in mold was just a no for us. As a new breastfeeding mother, the last thing I need is food poisoning. As for the service, we drove up to the second window and the staff seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. They kept trying to send us away without half of the items we ordered and payed for. When we asked where half the order was, the young gentleman looked at us like we were lying. read more

We were in Ellensburg recently and found this place on Yelp for ice cream. It's a cool place with a lot of unique flavors. We got a couple scoops, Banana Split, and Hefty Hefer. We liked our ice creams, though we found them a little expensive. read more

I have normally had amazing service. I walked up today at 8:30, the hours state they are open until 9. I said that the hours posted 9 the staff member said don't know they were supposed to update it, it's not my responsibility. I've had businesses for 16 years and have now worked corporate accounts for 5 years and that type of response/ service is unacceptable. I will be evaluating whether I want to support their business any further. read more

The coffee is warm and the service isn't the same as they used to be. The line took forever as usual and makes me not want to continue to go here read more

I bought the Huckleberry ice cream. Found out , after buying it, there are no huckleberries in it. But you know what it does have? It has blueberries. Nothing huckleberry. It does not even have huckleberry extract. After looking at the ingredients list looking for it, I discovered it has instead: Corn syrup artificial flavors Artifical colors alcohol bean gum guar gum disodium phosphate Mono and diglycerides aluminosilicate potassium chloride. Instead of huckleberry ice cream I got ice cream full of cheap fillers trying to pass as real ice cream with real ( not artificial) flavor. I paid $6.25 and got an artificial 50 cent ice cream. read more

Nice, relatively clean ice cream shop on University here in town. about 20 flavors (I think?). Prices unreasonably high - at least for portion size, and I use 'Scoopers' in Long Beach, WA as a comparison. Scoopers uses local ice creams as well and i think just as good. For about the same price per scoop you get roughly double what Winegars gives you. My wife got a single scoop and it looked pathetic. The 'double scoop' barely fills the cup they use for both. if you're looking for any value here just go for the pre-packed quarts, you'll get way more for your money. Its ok for a once-in-a-while social thing, but I wont be running here for my ice-cream fix. read more

They put CRAP in their ice cream! It has red dye #40 and blue dye #1 in the VICKIE BERRY ice cream, not to mention corn syrup which causes FATTY LIVER. These dyes are chemicals that can build up toxicity in the Liver when the Liver can't handle all the toxins it gets, causing Liver Toxicity which is one of the 5 causes of Liver Cancer. SHAME ON YOU WINEGARE! read more

We have been familiar with her ice cream for sometime, but I've never had the pleasure of visiting homebase until recently. We have been very impressed with their location in Yakima, however it was short-lived. After a visit to this location, I think it's important that we get them back over this direction! This place shares a building with Jerrol's, A delightful store with a classic mix of items that Rich from Central Washington University paraphernalia all the way down to children's books and toys. More of this in a separate view! If you haven't heard Winegars ice cream, it's truly legendary! Back in Iowa there was an ice cream chain called Whiteys that used a higher fat content milk to make their ice cream - I only know this because my grandfather is a dairy farmer it currently has an inside scoop on the knowledge of milk fat and ice cream places Dash and the stuff is amazing. The ice cream here reminds me of the ice cream there, and is equally amazing! They have 20+ flavors that are all creative just plain wonderful! They range from flavors like a classic strawberry sorbet and classic chocolate, all the way up to funky combinations that really work well together. We happen to come on a week where they were highlighting a different banana split. It probably been 20 years since I've had one, and three of us ended up sharing what was probably the best banana split we've ever had. I don't remember the name exactly, but I know it had Peanut butter, three scoops of ice cream and some delicious fruit. Three of us enjoyed it, including our three-year-old who absolutely housed a good portion of it! They also operate a coffee shop and small restaurant inside. We didn't try either but everything looked good and the drive thru was constantly busy. Is it the best ice cream ever- very possibly! You need to check them out! read more

Probably the creamiest ice cream I have eaten. Next time I will stick to one scoop as it is rich and satisfying. Prices aren't posted in easily seen locale so I experienced sticker shock at $12 for two dishes (4 scoops total). But it was worth it once! read more

Ice cream was great. Service was very quick and helpful. Cool little place to get ice cream.

They make homemade ice cream right here in Ellensburg. During the summer we popped in and tried one of their flavors. This place and its sister store are right by the college and serve coffee and sandwiches and other light fare. I can't comment on that because I've only been in for ice cream. It also has that legendary it's been here forever vibe. Lots of friendly people sitting at tables studying and hanging out and just regulars coming in for this and that. read more

This ice cream shop is closely located to Central Washington Universe (walkable distance). Which means, many students love to come and hang out here. Ice creams in this store is lovely. Rich milk fat contained ice creams, you can't find them in many other places. They are so addictive that people enjoy Winegar's ice creams during cold winter. Their coffee is also surprisingly good. Service is attentive (although during peak hours, you might have to wait for a while, but you can see staff try to do what they can) and friendly. Here are tips: - Ice creams: For kids, you can ask for kid's scoop (still plenty). - Service: Attentive - Restroom: clean and has changing station - Parking: private and street parking (also drive-thru). - Board games are available for customers. - Family friendly place read more

Best ice cream in Central Washington and a local Ellensburg and CWU tradition. Two locations on University Way with drive through service if your in a hurry. If you don't know what flavor to try, I recommend the locally themed ice cream of the month. read more

Update - the cotton candy ice cream is still the best I can find between here and spokane, nothing compares. It is heavenly!! Service has improved a ton too, they even knew us and our order last night (Friday). Those two girls are my favorite baristas and scoopers. They're so sweet. They sell some of there ice cream in to go pints there and at the super 1. It is a good deal a pint for $6. I am waiting to be able to get the same deal in house, of any kind of ice cream (specifically cotton candy) and toppings to go in a pint, that would tickle me pink!! Right now it is three scoops for $8 plus tip, a little steep. And sometimes the scoops, cups, and servings are inconsistent. I am only critical because I freaking love this place and have been here enough to really know it and get a feel. read more

Delicious ice cream and wonderful service. Good ice cream flavors. I would definitely recommend if you are passing thru.

Great spot if you're in Ellensburg and white coffee or ice cream. Staff is very friendly products are high quality.

I stopped at Winegar's with my family on our way home and was thoroughly impressed. The house-made ice cream was excellent and the prices were low, but their service was the best part. I would absolutely stop here again if I were in the area. There was a very large selection of interesting flavors, and they were happy to let us sample a bunch of them. The samples were big and they also provided recommendations for good flavor combinations. In the end, I got the Ultimate Scoop, which lived up to its name! It was an enormous, four-flavor monster (Kori's Coffee, Jacob Caramel Brownie, Kookie Kayla, and Garydough). In the name of research, I even topped it off with one of their house-made waffle cones. The results were positive. :) The shop had a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere and a ton of seating. It's the kind of place that makes you want to hang out with your friends. Next time, I'd like to stay for a while to drink a coffee while reading a book. There's a rewards program, too, but I didn't get the details since I'm not from the area. read more

Wonderful place . Excellent coffee . Will be my stop over anytime passing thru ellensburg from now on . Out of the way but worth the 5 minute drive off the freeway . And service was very good also . read more

Im not a big Winegar customer but only because I look for more organic food. I did want to thank the staff for all the support they gave my husband during all his daily visits for morning coffee. They showed patience and kindness to him and I will never forget. Also you do have great ice cream! read more

Okay so Winegar's iced coffee is fantastic and their red bulls are good! The ice cream I've only heard about but the bagel breakfast sandwich... every single time I've ordered it it comes out with a frozen egg. So my suggestion is tell them to OVERCOOK the bagel sandwich or it will literally be frozen and Cold. I've Probably wasted 45$ on sandwich's I toss in trash cuz they're cold. read more

Ice cream is over freezerburnt. Food can be pricey. Reward system is difficult. Some staff are friendly and great. Others aren't.

Our first experience. Counter person was helpful. We got a quart of peppermint to go. Hubby got Americano. Nice

Amazing place!! Great ice cream. We were staying in area for two days and we end up visiting this place both days. We had 6 families in our group and everyone in our group loved their ice cream. Huckleberry is their MUST try ice cream!! I just loved it. read more

AMAZING! I had the banana split with cotton candy, vanilla, and huckleberry ice cream. They have anything you can think of related to ice cream, milk shakes, cookies, etc. Stopped by on a road trip, and I wish we were coming back this way to order more. read more

The three things that really keep me coming back to this place are: 1) their always-friendly staff members; 2) rewards program; and 3) early morning/late night hours & specials. The espresso drinks are always prepared well and the ice cream flavors are fun and tasty, but to me it seems like there is a slight "chemical aftertaste" (for lack of a better description) to some of their flavors. Despite some of the hit-or-miss flavors, they do have original ice cream combinations that I absolutely love (like Kevinlicious, amaretto-flavored ice cream with chocolate chunks) and I find their mom-and-pops charm endearing, so I will definitely be a Winegar's customer for life! read more

Anyone who would give Winegar's less than 5 stars must hate ice cream. They use a high fat mixture of cream, milk and sugar. Their flavors are stunning, and available in to go containers. I would recommend this over any other ice cream. Plus, their milkshakes are awesome. I would say that there are two locations -- The one on university is far better. read more

Great ice cream selection! We ordered the salted caramel and the peanut butter chocolate ice cream. Both were great and were the perfect road trip treat. read more
