Riverside Creamery, a place of unique charm and nostalgia, holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors. Its story began in 1950 when it opened its doors as an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, quickly becoming a beloved establishment in the community. However, the devastating Flood of ‘55 forced its closure, leaving behind memories of the delightful ice cream and charming ambiance.
After decades of being dormant, Riverside Creamery was revived in 1999, with a meticulous restoration that brought it back to its former 1950 glory. The authentic soda fountain, an iconic centerpiece of the parlor, was painstakingly brought back to life with custom-made parts. The original floors, paneling, and a nostalgic mural painted in 1950 were carefully preserved, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
The moment you step inside, you are transported back in time to an enchanting world adorned with old photos of Port Jervis and the parlor, reminiscent of the days of yore. The ambiance exudes a delightful mix of retro charm and a lively, fun vibe, creating an inviting space for guests to relax and indulge in delectable treats.
The extensive ice cream menu is a testament to the dedication to preserving tradition, offering a wide variety of original desserts that have stood the test of time. From classic egg creams and ice cream sodas to the enticing Great Creation Sundaes, Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes, and indulgent Banana Splits, there is a diverse range of options to satisfy every sweet craving.
The parlor is not just a haven for ice cream enthusiasts; it also caters to those with a savory palate by offering light lunch and snack options. From flavorful panini sandwiches and personal pizzas to comforting hot dogs and crispy french fries, there’s a delicious bite for everyone to enjoy.
The signature Deep Fried Ice Cream has garnered a well-deserved reputation for being the best around, enticing patrons with its irresistible combination of crispy outer shell and creamy goodness within. The homemade hand-dipped ice cream and soft-serve options further elevate the delightful culinary offerings.
Whether you dine indoors at the cozy tables or counter or opt for outdoor seating with picturesque views of the serene Delaware River, every visit to Riverside Creamery promises to be a nostalgic and delightful experience. With its commitment to preserving history while creating new memories, Riverside Creamery continues to be a treasured destination for all who yearn for a taste of the past and a sprinkle of joy in the present.
