YOU’RE INVITED!

The café will officially be closing its doors on Saturday, September 12. It’s a bittersweet moment for us.

To show our appreciation for your ongoing support, we are hosting an open house from 1-3pm that day. We’ll serve up free coffee and cookies as a thank you.

Please feel free to stop by. We’d love to see you!

Greetings to everyone who has followed me on social media and supported me for the past two years I have owned the Essex Ice Cream Cafe!

It is with mixed emotions that I must announce that my time running the Essex Ice Cream Cafe is coming to an end this fall.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you.

Thank you for allowing me to share my love of food, especially that which is made with sugar, butter and chocolate !

Our hours beginning September 1 will be:
Sunday-Tuesday: closed
Wednesday-Friday: 11-5
Saturday: 8-5

Stay tuned for a few additional announcements as we wind down operations into early October. Thank you again! 😊🍦

Good day Facebook friends!

We have a scheduling update for this upcoming weekend into early next week that we wanted to share with you so you can plan accordingly.

The Café will be closed from August 7 through August 11 to allow for a trip to an out of town family reunion.

We will miss serving you food, drink and dessert, but we promise we'll be back and look forward to serving you upon our return! Enjoy!
