Nestled in the heart of downtown Ashland, Oregon, Zoey's Cafe & Artisan Ice Cream offers a refreshing retreat for those seeking handcrafted, richly flavored ice cream and a cozy café experience. Located at 199 E Main St, this charming spot has been delighting locals and visitors alike since 1977 with its commitment to quality and tradition.
The true star at Zoey's is their artisan ice cream, crafted with care to deliver creamy, full-bodied flavors that celebrate both classic and inventive tastes. From the luscious Salted Caramel to the unique Oregon Trail Ice Cream, each scoop tells a story of thoughtful ingredients and expert technique. Their gelato is a must-try, embodying smoothness and depth without overwhelming sweetness, while the Single Scoop of Cookies and Cream remains a timeless favorite. For those who enjoy variety, the Triple Scoop invites a playful exploration of multiple flavors in one indulgent serving.

The café crafts an array of milkshakes and frappes, showcasing their ice cream’s versatility in decadent blends like Espresso Milkshakes and the refreshing Affogato.
The atmosphere captures a nostalgic, retro vibe that feels both welcoming and lively. It’s a place where families, couples, and solo wanderers can unwind after a day out—whether stopping by post-theater, as one customer fondly recalls grabbing a late cherry-flavored treat, or savoring a smooth Americano alongside a crisp Lemon Custard scoop. The friendly, knowledgeable staff enhance every visit, evident from heartfelt mentions of team members like Merlin, who go above and beyond to make each guest feel at home.
Zoey’s dedication to quality, portion generosity, and fair pricing align perfectly for anyone seeking an authentic artisan ice cream experience with a warm community spirit.
