About Old Mill Creamery

Located in the heart of Pigeon Forge, Old Mill Creamery offers both classic and creative ice cream flavors that hit the spot after a day of exploring the Smokies. This charming ice cream shop maintains the historic character of the Old Mill district while serving up generous scoops in house-made waffle cones.

Visitors can choose from around 24 rotating flavors, ranging from traditional vanilla and chocolate to seasonal specialties. The ice cream is rich and creamy, and the portions are notably generous for the price point typical of Pigeon Forge attractions. Beyond basic scoops, they offer sundaes, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches made with fresh-baked cookies.

What sets Old Mill Creamery apart is their attention to detail - from the carefully maintained historic building features to their commitment to quality ingredients. The shop offers indoor seating with a view of the busy Old Mill area, plus outdoor benches perfect for people-watching while enjoying your treat.

For those looking for a quick snack, they also serve freshly baked cookies and pre-made ice cream sandwiches to go. The shop tends to be busiest in the late afternoon and after dinner, especially during peak tourist season, so consider visiting during off-hours to avoid the longest lines.

Like many ice cream shops in Pigeon Forge, Old Mill Creamery provides a welcome cool-down spot during hot Tennessee summers and a cozy treat destination year-round. The central location makes it an easy stop while exploring the Old Mill district's shops and attractions.
