FAQs

How long has Cookman Creamery been in Asbury? 

We began our ice cream journey in 2015 with our flagship store on Cookman Avenue! 

Are there any other locations? 

Currently there are no other locations, but we are on the lookout for where to open our second! 

Is Cookman Creamery Kosher? 

We are in the process of becoming Kosher certified, stay tuned. 

Are there No Sugar options? 

Yes! We will always have at least one No Sugar option, ask our servers what’s in current rotation. 

Does Cookman Creamery sell gift cards? 

We sure do, stop by anytime and we will package it in an envelope with a sticker. 

What style of ice cream is produced at Cookman Creamery? 

Our dairy ice cream is often called Philadelphia style ice cream which basically just means it uses minimal ingredients - milk, cream, sugar. Sometimes we supplement with other things like chocolate and caramel or pudding or eggs, but the basic idea is that there are no corn syrups, preservatives or nonsense. 

Our vegan ice cream doesn’t have a style name yet, all our recipes are original and something we’ve developed over our 10 years in business. Of course there are precedents and inspirations and other people and styles we have learned from, but we are passionate about being creative innovators in our kitchen! 

Who owns Cookman Creamery? 

Cookman Creamery is owned by James Johnson, a former Wall township English teacher and Neptune City graduate. The Creamery is operated by James and his two sons, Michael and Ryan. 

What do I do if I have an allergy? 

Let our team know. We do our absolute best in the kitchen to avoid cross contamination and know the stakes with allergies. If you find a flavor that doesn’t have any of your allergens in the ingredients, we are happy to get a fresh scooper and find a fresh unopened bucket to scoop from to limit the chance of cross contamination as much as possible. Our prepackaged pints are another good option, as they are produced in the kitchen, lidded, and never touch a scooper. 

Where can I find ingredients and nutritional information? 

On our site, check out the menu, we are striving for transparency! Any questions please reach out. Are the creamery ice creams certified gluten-free? 

While much of our ice cream contains no gluten, we do occasionally handle gluten in our kitchen, therefore we are not a certified gluten-free facility. For this reason, our menus will say “no gluten” or sometimes “NG” - meaning there is no gluten in the recipe, but we can’t legally say that it’s “gluten free” if it’s made in a kitchen that occasionally handles gluten. 

Is the creamery available for events? 

At this time, we are not equipped to provide a full event service, however we do offer bulk ice cream or can supply large quantities of ice cream to an event - reach out to us with an idea and we are usually on board to do our best to make something fun happen. 

Does the creamery ship ice cream? 

We currently do not ship ice cream, but would love to move in that direction, so let us know if shipping frozen foods is your special area of expertise and we’d be interested in working out a plan!
