Ferdinand's Ice Cream Shoppe - Ice cream shop in Pullman - 2035 Ferdinand\'s Ln, USA

Ok - I know that Ferdinand's is an iconic destination and delivers a certain style in the experience with the decor and the great service, and none of this can be ignored. In fact it entirely carries the appeal of visiting here, as well as the rating it receives. As for the ice cream, I will say that the texture and mouth feel and ultra creaminess are superb. The choice of flavors, on the other hand, while solid are indistinct, and, in my opinion, overly sweet. (BTW - the "overly sweet" club has a number of acclaimed members, such as Ben & Jerry's who sits among the pantheon of revered ice cream purveyors). This rating is delivered in the context of great ice cream that's emerging up & down the west coast, such as Salt & Straw in Portland, Molly Moons in Seattle, and Gunther's in Sacramento. While I'd say Ferdinand's is easily a peer in terms of quality, it lacks uniqueness that would set it apart. In my opinion, having unique flavors would accomplish this. If Ferdinand's does do this then I would be very excited to see it leap to the forefront of great ice cream on the west coast.

A nice treat after a walk around the campus in a sunny summer day. Ice cream is good and they also offer coffee, I tried the capuchino and It was a perfect match witn my ice cream. They also sell cheese in the store; they have a beautiful canned presentation. I just learn that this presentation comes from a research done since 1940. When they created a cheese that did not develop gas. This presentation is perfect when you need to transport the cheese. It was our first time. We asked about the cheeses and they offered us samples and explained us the characteristics. My favorite was of their famous “Cougard Gold”.

Came to buy cheese , they were out of the 1 we wanted. So l asked to sample 2 different flavors. Response: we are too busy ,we are not doing samples. I got news for you, that's when you should be...try & buy is a strong sales technique. Unfortunately l am not paying 30 a can for something l can taste to see if l like it first.

Had a cappuccino ice cream (junior version). It was already a big portion for me. It was delicious 😋 if you are near the campus, definitely give it a try. Cougar gold $30 which was cheaper than the book store

I don’t know why some have to write a novel to explain their experience,people don’t want to read at length what you feel about ice cream. The cheese is amazing, the ice cream very good. You will not be disappointed. Worth the drive. Favorite place to get cheese. 😎🇺🇸

I've had the opportunity to have ice cream in many states, and 8 different countries, but ultimately I always say "it's good, but it's not Ferdinands..." Ferdinands is certainly worthy on the world stage for ice cream in the same ways as it's cheese options. You basically can't go wrong with any choice of ice cream, at Ferdinands, but I personally gravitate towards the huckleberry ripple.

This place is always busy and always oh-so-good! We had the Tin Lizzy ice cream along with a milkshake. The prices are inexpensive, which makes you want to order more than you need. Always a treat when I’m in town.

Woah. Move over Molly Moon. Watch out Bi-Rite. Even Garden Creamery and Earnest Ice Cream need to keep an eye on this place. Incredibly creamy creations from the WSU student body at a fraction of the cost of normal artisan scoops. One scoop sets you back $2.25 and a grabber (oatmeal cookie sandwich) is $3.50. These are the two items I bought: a one scoop split of apple crisp/vanilla cookie dough and a huckleberry grabber. Don’t come here for wild concoctions. Flavors taste traditional and fresh. This is creamy on a Garden Creamery (SF) level. Hands down the best ice cream in Washington.
