Fulfilling Ice Cream Dreams since 1953!
Snowflake Ice Cream Shoppe in Riverhead has been around since 1953, and we still use the same original recipes created by founders Herb and Joan Kunitz. My wife, Carolyn, and I took over in 1988 after leaving our Wall Street jobs, fulfilling a childhood dream. Our shop is a community favorite, known for unique, customer-suggested flavors made from local ingredients. Learn more about our story here.
