Reviews
I was looking for dessert in the area and found this across The Byrd Theater. Located in Carytown, Bev's Homemade Ice Cream offers ice cream, coffee, and some baked goods. I tried the mango sticky rice (gelato) and raspberry pineapple (sorbet). They were bland for me. I decided on black raspberry. It was very good. Creamy, fruity with just the right amount of sweetness. White chocolate peppermint mocha was great for holiday vibes! Service was good too. Giving it a 4/5.
My husband and I love Bev's homemade ice cream. The staff are warm, friendly, and competent. The interior is lovely, pink walls, with paintings and photographs adorning those walls. Patrons can sit at tables or couches that are situated at the back of the shop. I enjoy the chocolate chip mint. The chocolate chip mint at Bev's is white not green. I was told that there are no artificial ingredients in their ice creams. Apparently the green used in chocolate chip mint is artificial coloring. Who knew? I just thought mint was green. I have also tried chocolate, raspberry chip, and a seasonal flavor, pumpkin. During our visits there, My sweetheart sampled chocolate, strawberry, black raspberry, and pumpkin. A few days back we enjoyed a new taste experiment. We never knew you could order a milkshake with two flavors of ice cream. At Bev's you can. I mixed chocolate and chocolate chip, while my husband tried chocolate and black raspberry. Bev's also features a coffee, tea, and hot chocolate bar and a cafe menu with brownies and pastries. We love it that Bev's is women owned and run. Go women!
I am hooked on Bev's, specifically their Oreo and cookie dough ice creams and their vanilla milkshakes. Their milkshakes are perfectly thick and just all-around lovely, and they don't wreck my stomach, which is an amazing feat too. The folks who work at Bev's hustle. Don't be surprised by a line, as it's very popular and centrally located in the heart of Carytown across from Byrd Theatre. Prices are reasonable for the quality. I need to branch out to try more flavors. They also serve coffee products, which is great. Overall, I'm a big fan and will be back soon enough.
Bevs is in a perfect location in Cary town. Perfect place to stop after eating lunch or dinner at one of the nearby restaurants. They had a wide variety of ice cream flavors and quite a few specialties. I had a root beer float which was great! I also got one of their apple cider Whoopi's pies and it was amazing! They had a good amount of seating inside and service was very friendly.
A Richmond institution. The Bev's team has been turning out top quality ice cream for years in Richmond. If you want great classic flavors (with the occasional twist) and great service, then Bevs is your spot. In a world of ice cream gimics, stick to the classics instead. Stick with Bev's.
