Cammie’s Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe

Meh. The ice cream here is not very tasty. And some of the flavors here look so artificial. After hearing so many good things I was very disappointed.

I ordered a chocolate malt, pretty sure she put vanilla ice cream and just added chocolate malt mix, wasn’t mixed well either.
Husband got the creole praline and loved it, mostly because the pecans were great and most ice creams use dry or old nuts.
Located in a gas station so restrooms are outside and smells very moldy, had to leave and sit in the car due to allergies.

This building and ice cream shoppe has been in this location forever… well…a long time for a business… since 1969. I remember coming to this spot as a child when my mother would take us to the Mall and we would stop here to get ice cream as a wonderful treat. Back then, it was Wildemire’s Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful and the portions were usually large. There was a time when the servers began getting stingy with the ice cream and the flavor began to wane. We stopped going to the shoppe after about three straight times of having «stingy servers». Over 20 years passed before we decided to try the Ice Cream Shoppe again. This night, I’m glad we gave the Ice Cream Shoppe another try.
Now, it is under new management. Seemingly, the original standard of «large portions of creamy, flavorful ice cream» are trendy again. This shoppe reminds me of the old shoppe whose ice cream my family enjoyed so much when I was a child. The atmosphere resembles a step back in time, complete with antique ice cream makers, soda machines, chairs and tables. The prices (also closer to «times gone by») are quite reasonable (it’s more cost effective to purchase the triple dip of ice cream than a single dip).
Also, for the health conscious, there are various flavored sorbets. Everything is homemade from Cammie’s recipes. I will visit this Ice Cream Shoppe often.

The fact that this place is right around the corner from my house is dangerous. Cammie’s Old Dutch Ice Cream is the most delicious place in Mobile when it comes to sweets. The Birthday Cake flavor has put at least 3 inches on my waistline this month. It is the absolute cutest building that really has that classic ice cream shop feel. All of the ice cream is fresh and made in house and you can tell in the taste. It is just SO good. I even love the straight plain ol vanilla! I would love to give this place 5 stars but I have to say the last few times I stopped in the seating area was pretty messy. Lots of little pieces of papers on the floor, chairs all over the place, and a few very sticky countertops. But that is just me nit picking. They also have great hours, staying open late to 9 most nights. Not to mention it is affordable! I love Cammie’s, I will be stopping by sometime this week!

This place is more than an ice cream parlor– it’s a legend. I sat on the same stool decades ago when I was in high school and the flavors and the experience have only gotten better.
Kudos to Cammie who watches carefully over the quality of both the bread and the circuses.
It’s really hard to make a recommendation here– I’ve tried pretty much everything and there’s not a weak offering on the menu.
Here, we all scream for Cammie’s ice cream!

What a classic place! Coke memerabilia everywhere just a slice of Americana! Oh and the ice cream is to die for!

Peppermint ice cream was delicious!
The young lady behind the counter was very nice after telling her it was my first time at the shop, and she told me I could have a free sample of any of the flavors. I sampled the peppermint and fell in love. Definitely my new go-​to ice cream shop! Can’t wait to try out more flavors!

Okay — I first enjoyed the creamy ice cream here back in high school… and it is still here (just a few years later ;) I love how Cammie makes seasonal flavors that are to die for… today after a nice lunch few doors down a Ashland Place Pub — we walked over are had dessert. Two of us got the Pumpkin Glazed that was the best treat I have tasted in a long time. I will be back for more before the season changes… prices are very reasonable and the staff so kind.

My husband and I went to Old Dutch for the first time on Friday evening. The atmosphere is certainly nostalgic reminding us of a places we went long ago when we were kids. My cookies & cream in a cone was awesome and hubby loved his sorbet! We will make this a regular treat!
Staff was friendly and did not rush us to make a decision. Oh, and they let you sample anything in the case!

What a wonderful place! My daughter and I found this place after she injured herself at a local hotel and I had to take her to an ER call so I wanted to take her for some ice cream afterwards so I looked on Unilocal and found this local place. Thank you Unilocal!
Super old school, comfy atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive staff. They’ll let ya try tons of samples.
Ice cream is homemade and sooo yummy. I am a diehard Bluebell ice cream fan, but this place blows them away.
Since we don’t live in Mobile, we stop there every summer on our trip Georgia. So sad I don’t live closer to them.
The last time we were there we met Cammie and after hearing our story about how we found the place she gave my seven-​year-​old daughter a free t shirt and even took a pic with us. Love, love this place!
Ps if you go make sure to try out the old Dutch little wooden shoe rubber ball game

Love this place! Super friendly service. The guy behind the counter let us take our time, gave a free sample without asking, and delivered my husband’s hot fudge sundae to our table (the place is counter service). He even told us we could pay after we ate because we were juggling kids and cones. The ice cream is so good. The creole praline is a must and a fan favorite. The peanut butter chocolate is wicked peanut buttery, delish! Some of the ice creams were a bit soft, hence my four star rating (I wish I could give it four and a half). Otherwise it was awesome. Another reason to visit – the old school Dutch décor. Vintage aficionados will adore the Pennsylvania Dutch wallpaper and hexes, and the wooden clogs game with bouncing balls. What a great place in Mobile!

Wow. Such a good ol’ southern variety of flavors made in-​house. You can see the giant red velvet chunks blended into the ice cream instantly. The taste: yummm yummmz! The cost: practically giving it away.

Good homemade ice cream. I had a parfait that no-​one seemed to know what it was our they never made it before. The crew couldn’t have been more that 16 and that was probably the oldest one there. I didn’t see anyone who looked like a manager there on a Saturday night.
The major downside was that the place didn’t seem clean. I never thought that my food was dirty or anything but the place did need a good wipe down.
I’m glad I tried it all in all.

After moving to Mobile I was told about Old Dutch Ice Cream Parlor. It lives up to its name. I just bought the peach ice cream and it was delicious!

This is a pretty good ice cream place. You can get you chocolate ice cream. You can get you vanilla ice cream. You can get you a ice cream Sunday. You can get you a nanner split. Don’t nobody care.
I got me some peanut butter ice cream on a ice cream cone with some sprankles. Even though the ice cream is old and the dutch people don’t want it no more because it was just they leftovers, it was still pretty good.

The Chocolate Peanut Butter is awesome!
Great flavor and a great value!
They also sell half gallons to take home.

By far the best ice cream in Mobile. Always great service and plenty of cool treats to choose from and they have a high quality product. My favorite is the chocolate milk shake.

If your a real Mobilian, you’d know why this place has been in business for decades. I came here on July 20^th, which just so happen to be national ice cream day! They had a specials going on, they were passing out toys to the kids (cough, cough and adults who asked) and the staff was so cheerful. Every purchase that was made they chanted «happy national ice cream day!» The staff being so warm, friendly and welcoming, almost made me not want to go home, seriously.
I had peach ice cream (made with real peaches I might add) in a waffle cone, all the ice cream here is hand made. This ice cream was so creamy, it taste just like a peach cobbler.

This place puts the «cream» in ice cream; literally and figuratively. This is, hands down, some of the best ice cream you’ll ever have. I can tell you that after only having tried it once because the quality was just that good. It’s so rich and creamy.
They’ve been making and serving ice cream for 45 years, according to a sign on the wall. I don’t think they’ve redecorated once during that time. Who cares?
I would guess they had about 30 – 40 flavors to choose from. I sampled the strawberry, which was incredible, but decided to go with the strawberry cheesecake. The hubs was excited to see they have nuts in the pistachio ice cream even though he opted for a delicious chocolate malt.
Our total bill was about $ 6, which I thought was very reasonable. If your little one is screaming for ice cream (don’t give him his way just because he throws a fit), but one day when he’s been good, take him to Cammie’s for a real treat.

Most delicious ice cream ever! I always get an old fashioned hot fudge sundae, and it’s always delicious! They have tons of other flavors as well. And the ice cream is super cheap, as well!
