How We Got Started
It all started in 1978 as a family owned
and operated ice cream parlor. We asked our customers what they
were looking
for in ice cream that they couldn't find anywhere else. The answer was the
homegrown
flavors of the tropics made in a way that stayed true to their
Caribbean roots. We put our noses to the
grindstone and came up with a line of
ice cream made from authentic ingredients and real Caribbean flavors.
From our first handmade batches, where we
painstakingly experimented with our ingredients to create the
ideal mix, to
expansion into modern ice cream-making methods to satisfy our ever-growing and
diversifying
customer base, we still have the same passion for ice cream that
we did in the hot summer days when the
idea was born.
Over the years we've
narrowed down our ice creams to the six signature flavors that we do better
than
anyone else: Vanilla, Great Nut, Mango, Rum Raisin, Rummy Nut, and Coconut
made from the
freshest creams and ingredients imported straight from the
tropics. We wouldn't expect anything less in our
tropical ice cream, and we
certainly would not expect anything less for our customers.
Taste the Tropics
is not like the Hard Dairy products that you may be used to. The truth is,
you'll taste more
than the tropics in your first spoonful, and every one after
that. You'll taste the passion and care that has
kept us in business as an
independent ice cream maker for more than thirty years. So whether it's an
exotic
novelty or a reminder of home, phone us, email us, or just browse our
website when you're ready to experience
a taste of the tropics.
