Cream Bean Berry

Handcrafted ice cream made from scratch using locally sourced, seasonal, and organic ingredients defines Cream Bean Berry in Durango. The shop changes its unique flavors almost daily, highlighting Colorado’s bounty with items like Palisade peaches and Honeyville honey. Founder Katie started by selling her first scoop from a bicycle cart on the Animas River Trail in May 2013, establishing a presence before opening at her current Main Avenue location in November 2015. The name reflects the core components of their recipe: cream, beans (vanilla, coffee, cocoa), and berries. Beyond retail sales to locals, the business provides wholesale ice cream to fine-dining restaurants and natural food stores across town. They also cater events, including weddings, family reunions, and company parties. As a green-certified business, Cream Bean Berry prioritizes environmental sustainability by using plastic-free disposables, biodegradable packaging, and energy-star-rated appliances. The shop remains open every day from noon to 9 p.m., serving customers in a space designed for joy and community connection.
