The new business is the work of Alex Becker, of Fairfield, and Patrick Strang, of Mason, and will offer premium, house-made hand-dipped ice cream, boba tea and coffee.
“We are using our own ingredients for all of our ice cream, waffle cones, cookies — depending on time — and a few other select products, so it will not be a froyo restaurant,” Strang told the Journal-News.
Construction is nearing an end at the 1,311-square-foot storefront, which formerly housed Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, next door to LA Fitness.
Craft Cream Works will offer 20 different flavors that will be rotating based on the season. Some of the initial flavors are expected to include
• Raspberry White Chocolate
• Chocolate Raspberry
• Peanut Butter ‘N’ Jelly
• Peanut Butter Oreo
• Biscoff
• Blackberry Cobbler
• Apple Pie
• Raspberry White Chocolate
• Maple & Candied Bacon
• Strawberry
• Cookies N Cream
• Blueberry Maple
• Orange Cream
• S’mores
• Pumpkin Pie
• Key Lime Pie
• Cotton Candy Blue
• Funfetti Cake
• Crunchberry Ice Cream
