Flavors That
Make You Come Back

Our menu rotates with the seasons — what's fresh today is what's worth waiting for. Here's a taste of what makes Cay's different.

Creamy vanilla bean ice cream in a glass dish Classic

Madagascar Vanilla

Real vanilla beans speckled through a velvety custard base — the one purists start with.

Bright pink strawberry gelato in a glass dish Seasonal

Strawberry Balsamic

Hull-less berries folded into a light gelato with a whisper of aged balsamic — sweet, then something you can't quite place.

Rich dark chocolate gelato swirled in a glass dish Signature

72% Dark Chocolate

Belgian chocolate melted and emulsified into an intensely fudgy gelato that's more dessert than treat.

Fresh mint green ice cream with chocolate chips Fan Favorite

Mint Chip

Fresh mint steeped into the cream, then studded with hand-chopped dark chocolate — no artificial anything.

Tropical mango sorbet in a glass dish Dairy-Free

Mango Coconut Sorbet

Alphonso mangoes blended with coconut cream — bright, tropical, and entirely plant-based.

Pale lavender ice cream with honey drizzle Limited

Lavender Honey

Culinary lavender steeped in cream, sweetened with local wildflower honey — calm in every scoop.

Our full menu changes weekly based on what's fresh and in season. Stop in or call ahead to check today's lineup — we often have surprises that aren't on the board.

Our Story

We Got Into This
for the Flavor

Cay's started the way a lot of good things do — with a stubborn refusal to accept that ice cream had to be anything less than extraordinary. We learned the craft the old-fashioned way: by paying attention, by tasting constantly, and by never being satisfied with "good enough."

Today, every batch is made here at our shop on St Germain Drive. We source real dairy, whole fruit, and honest vanilla. We churn slowly. We taste everything. And we'd rather tell you we're out of a flavor than serve you something we wouldn't eat ourselves.

No Artificial Anything Real fruit, real dairy, real vanilla beans
