Eastern Sierra Ice Cream Company

"We happened to stop in looking for a restroom and not only found a super clean restroom but met the owners, Paul and Joyce. Incredibly kind, wonderful people who make their own homemade ice cream. They bring in the highest quality cream, all natural -no carrageenan, no high fructose corn syrup. Best tasting ice cream and flavors! This is a must stop when passing through Independence. What a treat!"

"In this extremely hot day of 100 degrees we decided to stop off at this quaint cute ice cream location. The owners were super nice and gave us the low down on why they chose to move from orange county to Independence after retiring from the landscaping business. They built this little shop themselves! Amazing talent! And they make the most amazing ice cream! We couldn't get every single flavor but I guess in time we will because it was just sooo good. We wanted to try their honey lavendar, unfortunately we got there just after they sold their last scoop. So we got Pistacci-oh (yummmm), apple pie (seriously tasted just like a slice of pie with chunks of Apple, and a scoop of Coconut ice cream (smooth and rich). Another customer there said that the cherry ice cream was AMAZING! So I'm gonna try that the next time I'm driving thru. If you're in the area and lucky enough to drive thru on a day that they're open you have to stop here. They only open on certain days of the week. I think they're keeping the other days to themselves so they can either work on building their home or enjoy their retired life in the little town of 300 population."

"Oh MY… this is a must stop… homemade on premise with the highest of standards! We had the apricot and the apple pie ice cream. Enjoyed a nice conversation with the owner and a local who dropped in for a pint!! If you’re passing through, I certainly recommend a stop!"
