A Richmond tradition,
one scoop at a time

Jeff Davis Ice Cream has been a quiet staple along Route 1 in Richmond, serving handcrafted frozen desserts to neighbors and visitors alike. We believe great ice cream doesn't need a big stage — just good ingredients, a steady hand, and the time to do it right.

Our café on Route 1 is a place to slow down. Whether you're pulling into a classic sundae on a warm afternoon or trying a seasonal flavor you haven't had before, we make every visit feel like a small celebration.
