Ferdinand's Ice Cream Shoppe

“Best coffee on campus, always friendly staff”

Carone Jones★★★★★

Ferdinand’s is the quintessential small town creamery, however its following is anything BUT small town! Their cheese is nationally known and their OG Cougar Gold has a cult-like following! (It’s THAT good!). The store itself looks small and has not the best parking, but it does have a tasty variety of flavors on the menu and an observation room to the cheese making process. Feel free to run up to take a look or plan a field trip for something a little more formal! Friendly knowledgeable staff (love living in a college town!), please order from the store itself for cheese or else you’ll be pa

Wow! Everyone at work told me how good this place was and it exceeded my expectations. Ice cream was heavenly and the cheese was so so good. I’ve never had cheese like that before! The prices are also so low it’s like stepping into the past. You can get WSU honey here as well, which is cheaper than the visitor center honey. Plenty of easy parking too.

They make the cheese, and it’s all really good. The observation room is cool to watch them make the cheese, and the ice cream was really good. The prices were good too, and the staff was really nice. I got one that had chocolate and tiny peanut butter cups inside, which was delicious.

TIPS: You need to pay for parking in their lot (see my photo for more info). I was able to pay using the website, without downloading the app. It was only 50 cents. :-) There's a single all-gender restroom inside the building to the left. They have an observation room (being cleaned when we visited) where you can sometimes watch them making cheese. No sorbet or vegan options were available. It's really nice that they run this ice cream (and cheese, and espresso drink) shop on campus. There are some tables inside, along with additional table seating outside (but without shade).
