Good Times Creamery

We rather much enjoy ice cream and we have found a fabulous place from which we can consume that wonderful food. This is the sign on the curb by the sidewalk out in front of the "Good Times Creamery". This ice cream shop is located along the main road "State Street" or Hwy 9 that runs east and west through Hurricane. Many of the streets in this area have two names, it can get confusing. The creamery is located on the eastern edge of the city.

Here is the initial view of the creamery as you walk in the front door. You need to remember that ice cream is one of the major food groups and is at the top of our food pyramid. That is a little know fact. Also you need to know that all of the ice cream served here is home made, none of that fancy store bought stuff with many many additives.

This board on the wall inside the creamery contains the list of flavors that are currently available. The ice cream flavors are all made in this creamery and the lady who makes the ice cream has some wild flavors. She also asks customers for suggestions about new flavors.

One of the more unusual flavors is cactus ice cream made from prickly pear cactus. Some of the other flavors include rum raisin, butter pecan, java chip, and the more standard fare of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. An excellent variety of offerings.

And this is a dish of the cactus ice cream. They harvest the cactus fruit, using long barbecue tongs to avoid the multitude of tiny stickers, they then steam them to extract the juice. This technique eliminates all the stickers. It was delicious. The fruit is red or pink in color hence the resultant color of the ice cream. They also make cactus jelly which is available at the creamery.

Looking around the inside of the creamery you see some fun items on display. This is truly a place of Good Times.

Oh and if you wanted something other than an ice cream cone or a dish of the great stuff, they also have Hurricone Nachos. It consists of a scoop or two of ice cream, some candy, then drizzled with sauce, and finally accompanied by waffle cone chips. My good friend Rodger, the Nacho King, would absolutely love a double order of this great looking stuff.

This little sign was hanging on the wall when we were there getting ice cream just before Halloween. If you are ever in or near Hurricane you must stop in the Good Times Creamery. They have fabulous ice cream, Best Witches.

Remember a scoop a day keeps the doctor away, another little known fact and as always let us know if you have any questions or if you prefer, leave us a comment.
