Company Description

Blank Slate Creamery opened in 2014 in Ann Arbor as a family owned business. Our goal is to make deliciously creamy, all-natural ice cream with ingredients you recognize. We make our ice cream mix and most of our inclusions from scratch. We’re known for our unusual flavors as well as the more traditional. We not only encourage creativity in our flavors, but also on the chalk boards in our shop. So, be sure to have a taste of something new and pick up some chalk to play a game, draw a picture or solve a mathematical equation!

When we first opened we ran out of ice cream in three days and were closed for a week to produce more! We were both elated at the community support and stressed to have to close for a few days, but it’s now part of our story. We continue to write our story by expanding our production capabilities and by opening a new location in Brighton in the spring of 2020. Come be a part of our adventure, we hope you’ll love the ice cream as much as we do!!
