The Ice Cream Factory's legacy was born out of a Carvel® Franchise started by our fathers, the Guerrino brothers in 1954. Our combined ten siblings, along with employees, all Mount Vernon residents, diligently worked long hours to serve Lower Westchester residents with their delights. We successfully built a stellar reputation and became a mainstay in the community, offering up ice cream with a smile.

In 1978, in an effort to provide a greater selection of flavors to customers, the name was officially changed to the Ice Cream Factory. We expanded rapidly, offering 50 gourmet flavors, 20 of which were exotic Caribbean flavors, including Grapenutt, Jamaican Rum Raisin, Rum Raisin Grapenutt, as well as Soy Milk based and Sugar Free flavors.

Through word of mouth, the Ice Cream Factory in Mount Vernon became a dessert destination for those curious to taste the unique offerings of these Caribbean classics. Now you don't have to live in Mount Vernon to enjoy these ice cream delights. Our ice cream is available at many locations in a variety of sizes.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS

After our own retail success, the evolution was obvious. The Ice Cream Factory, home of the original GRAPENUTT flavor, decided to share the pleasures of the islands with restaurants and bakeries and established a wholesale distribution business, now providing our high quality ice cream to some of the best known places for fine Caribbean cuisine; a refreshing way to end a traditional island meal.

The wholesale distribution business is expanding quickly in the New York Metropolitan Area and beyond. If you are a business owner and you wish to order our many choices in bulk, please refer to our "Contact Us" page on this site. Now you don't have to go on vacation to"Taste the Islands."
