4 fun facts about our ice cream:

  1. It’s produced by a small, family-owned dairy in Wisconsin.
  2. It’s made in small batches to produce a premium quality ice cream.
  3. There are over 80 flavors of ice cream with additional yearly “Feature Flavors” that offer a unique experience.
  4. We get our ice cream from the dairy that invented “tracks!” Elephant Tracks® was the first of its kind in the market and since then, Cedar Crest has created some of the most exciting flavors in the business – like Caramel Collision®, Coconut Explosion, and Lady Bug®.

We Love Summer
In the summer, with the North Cascades Highway open and lots of people doing the Cascade Loop, we’re visited by travelers from all over the world.

Last summer, we met many who were hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail.  The two hikers in the video were from Czechia. They commented they were “lucky to meet the super nice owner” and thanked us for “the chat over an Americano!” Happy Trails, Hummingbird, and BackFlop – maybe we’ll see you again this year?

In 2021, when we were creating the Act One Ice Cream Parlor, we had to make a decision about the brand we’d be serving. Here’s how we did it:
1. We went on an Ice Cream Research Road Trip.
2. We ate a LOT of ice cream, all around the Pacific Northwest.
3. We narrowed it down to 4 brands.
4. We organized five different focus groups, and let our friends and theatre customers decide!

Each focus group received education about ice cream—how it’s made, how it can best be enjoyed, and what to look for in a high-quality product. (We’ll share our tips if you’re interested.)

Each attendee taste-tested four flavors from four different brands. So, yes, they ate a lot of ice cream!

The results? It was unanimous: Cedar Crest Ice Cream from Wisconsin was the winner.

Honoring the Past – Looking to the Future

We are the newest, independently owned ice cream parlor in the region, and the only one we’ve ever heard of that’s located inside a historic theatre. The ice cream parlor itself is historic, having been built in 1915. In those early years, it was the home of the well-known Monrad Grocery.
