Our Story
Oakland, CA
What we’re about
De La Creamery is small batch ice cream, with core Mexican & speciality rotating flavors, using local products to make something bold and imaginative.Creating flavors that are rooted in American classics and Mexican traditional flavors. Striving to bring to life flavors that are rare or may have never existed, from the perspective of cultural experience. We aim to connect communities delicious treats made with love and intention.
We are currently a pop-up, with a portable set up, traveling our way around the Bay Area and collaborating with our community as we go. Most often, you can find us in Oakland on the weekends.
We do not have our own shop and make our products at an approved commercial kitchen. Please support us while we are at events, so one day, we can have our own spot to welcome you every day!
We are the happiest while meeting new friends and spreading the joy of De La Creamery.
Meet the Owner, Stephanie
Stephanie is a self-taught ice cream maker. She started making ice cream from her Oakland home in 2019 after receiving an ice cream machine from her partner on Christmas. Her desire for comfort deepened during the pandemic and she then developed her recipes from scratch, inspired by her Mexican roots.
After sharing batches of horchata ice cream to her friends and family, she knew she had something that needed to be shared with the larger community. Her love for ice cream and passion for her culture has been her motivation.
Stephanie identifies as a Chicana, being raised in Southern California. While half of her family’s history dates back to Los Angeles for multi generations, her paternal grandparents from Northern Mexico. De La Creamery honors her roots and is named after her family’s name, De La Cruz.
