We went on Saturday at 5 and after waiting to be acknowledged for ten minutes while staff walked past us we decided to leave. Ice cream would’ve been nice
We love this sweet store. We always come here after dinner for ice cream. The waffle cones are so crispy and fresh! They have a great selection of ice cream and a lot of old fashioned soda and candies. The owners are kind too!
Service and ice cream was great! There was even live music which was fun. Only issue is that is was WAY TOO loud at some points. No need for loud amps and such. Could hardly hear the employees.But no complaints as far as the service and help go! The employees were super friendly and made sure we were helped!
I took my kids and their friends in here last week. What a pleasant experience. The lady who owns it helped us. She was very friendly and helpful. She was generous with her portions (scoops). She asked my name and later used my name when speaking to me. I was impressed she remembered and used my name. She even collected our garbage after we were done. And she personally thanked me for coming in and bringing the kids. We will definitely be going back!
I love this little small town throwback shop. Great fidge, delicious sandwiches, and the best ice cream. They have a little gift shop for retro style things, as well as paparazzi if you like that. A candy section. And even a soda fountain! Its pretty much run by one single guy, so wait times may take longer; especially when its busy, but dont give up. This is a local business and as we all know, today all local businesses could use as much support as possible. Its well worth it and a nice place to just sit and have a think while you enjoy your treats.
Not a fan of the new owners they have changed way too much and they do not have the variety of ice cream they used to
Love the place. Takes about a minute to want to come back.
My husband and I have been coming here for years. Not only do they have amazing ice cream but they also have a wonderful shop filled with many things from old fashioned candies to fun socks. The customer service is incredible and the atmosphere is wonderful!
Best icecream in s.ogden
This is the best place. They are going to be closed through April 7th. for renovations. Can`t wait!
Super friendly staff. Great ice cream. Cool little shop.
Wow!! Great sandwiches and amazing ice cream! The store was really cute and had so many fun things to buy. I wasnt sure what to expect when we got there but I was impressed. Everything from ice cream and fudge to home decor and probably some of the best white elephant gifts Ive seen
Best Banana Splits! Fabulous service! 😊
This place is definitely awesome. I like the atmosphere and there are so many flavors of ice cream and it’s also a candy and gift shop. I love licorice ice cream which is very hard to find and I was so excited to find it here. The parking around here is very limited but the customer service is great.
Enjoy the old-timey atmosphere of the place, and the owner Robert definitely shows care in the place. Great service, great ice cream, and just an all around pleasure to be in. Would definitely recommend.
A neat little store that has amazing ice cream and other neat things. There is a huge variety of ice cream flavors. Also, the service is very friendly.
Terrible customer service. If they want people to wear a mask then they should have a sign clearly stating that fact on their door. Go there if you want to be shamed and lied to for exercising your freedom to choose.
Love this place! Fun to browse the interesting gifts and old fashioned candies, amazing ice cream shakes and always courteous, friendly service
I have raided the Burch Creek Mercantile in the past. It is located in Ogden Utah South Ogden actually and besides having 75 different flavors of ice cream and some excellent food they have a store that deals with so much merchandise from the 50s and old lunch boxes all different types of things and being born in the 50s its a reminder of of the way life used to be theres some great books on histories of various places and cities throughout Utah and always enjoy going there.
Awesome local business. Nice atmosphere and great staff. Nice place to find unique gifts, treats for the family and great tasting sandwiches.
Great ice cream and cute shop!
This is a great little store specializing in ice cream / sodas with a nice selection of novelty items, vintage sodas, and old style candy. They have a wide selection of ice cream to scoop, and a soda bar.
Fun and cute place with yummy ice cream!
We absolutely love this place! Fun atmosphere, great food, fantastic ice cream (so many flavors to choose from!), personable service, nostalgic gifts and candy... and great prices! I highly recommend taking your family there or meeting a friend/co-worker for lunch. Double thumbs up and many happy returns from us!
More ice cream flavors to chose from than you’ll find anywhere else. Friendly staff. Clean surroundings. Fun gifts. Great supply of old time candy and toys. Just go!!
Ice cream was great, initial service was great as well. We were stared at like hawks. They have decorations galore, so as expected children look, and as I said LOOK! As they should have SEEN I ordered through my 7yr old child through sign language, apparently there is a Christmas trash can display at the front of the store which my child misunderstood for a regular trash can, and then a drinking fountain on the wall, that as a parent you can CLEARLY SEE as a parent from the tables that the employees cannot from behind the counter, but they will tell you your child was playing. Had it not been for the company of the people I was with this would have absolutely terrible!!!!!!! I will in fact never go back, and dont suggest taking your special child to this building. Not saying company, just NOT this building! Employee tried saying my daughter was playing in trash, water, and this was upon another customers arrival. Middle finger to you dude. Happy Holidays 🙁
Had ice cream here. The service was very friendly and helpful. They have a ton of flavors of ice cream and food options. Great store full of fun items. Recommend stopping by, eating some ice cream, and check out the merchandise.
Too bad its closing down the ice cream was good.
75 flavors of ice cream.. I wish they had vegan ice cream.. Like just 5 flavors or vegan ice cream. They have good sammiches (thats a good sandwich) and all the fudge you could eat. You mainly go here for all the ice cream and fudge.. I am always surprised more people dont know about this place. They have tons of cool toys and gag gifts. Great for kids. great for families great for dates. Very fair priced.
Charming old world Ice Cream parlor and gift shop! This place has 75 flavors of hand dipped ice cream over a dozen flavors of home made fudge and soups and sandwiches. Plus it has a fun little candy and gift shop. Very polite and friendly help with good prices and a charming atmosphere.
This place is great! The customer service was wonderful. The man that helped us was kind and helpful. The ice cream was delicious. There were so many flavors to choose from. I loved all of the nostalgic toys and candies available from decades ago. I found lots of cool stuff to take home.
Adorable store. Fantastic ice cream!
Great little ice cream shop! Great flavors too!Nice atmospheres. Right nearby a theater do you can get a snack after the play (which i have happily done a few times.) Never gotten anything but desserts there.
Love the ice cream experience. This place really takes me back in time. What wonderful memories of penny candy and nichol candy bars. Love this place. I bring my Great Grands and they love there special table.
Very yummy icecream. Adorable store.
Great place to go!! Always great staff and quick service. Kids love it there!! Food is always good there!
This is a very great place. I love the old fashioned atmosphere that it has as well. Also, a surprising menu item I discovered today is that they really have some great sandwiches. Try there turkey, cranberry, avocado and you wont be disappointed. They also have a really good roast beef sandwich. You can spend several hours exploring inside Burch Creek Mercantile and still not be able to see every single thing they have going on. Its very well-designed and very well-decorated. Even though theres a lot of stuff, it doesnt feel overwhelming. I also love the ice cream. Pralines and cream for life! :-)
I wish I could put ZERO stars. My friend and I had heard good things about this place and were excited to try it out. The employee who was helping us didnt do a great job at all. He was very rude and didnt let us know at the beginning that we could only have three samples. When my friend received her third sample and didnt like any of the ones she tried. She was very disappointed to find out she was SOL because he then told her you have reach your sample limit and cant sample anymore ice cream. There is no sign anywhere in the store and we didnt get a heads up until we received our third samples. He kept saying that is our rule like something we should have already known but it was our first time coming to Burch Creek and definitely our last. He then accused me of being at his shop before because he recognized me, which really upset me. He definitely wasnt thinking of the customer or the business for that matter. I have never been treated so horribly and accused of lying at a little ice cream shop.... it was unacceptable. I would suggest never going there because no one should feel the way we did after trying to buy some freaking ice cream.
This place is the best!!! Tons of flavors of hard ice cream (check all 3 sides before you decide). They will offer suggestions or let you taste a sample or two if you want. Sugar cones, waffle cones, regular cones and dishes. Ice cream scoop size is massive, so consider yourself warned😉. Make sure to check out the merchantile part of the store = crazy socks, silly shirts, fantastic gag gifts, toys from the good old days and many youve never seen before. Wonderful old fashioned candy, and incredible selection of homemade fudge and candies.
Excellent unique store a true gem in Ogden .Family loved all the ice cream flavors
Cute old fashioned soda fountain and ice cream spot. They have a ton of flavors of Farrs Ice cream and they hand mix sodas which is neat. They also sell candy, fudge, toys, and knick knacks.
Weve been coming here for years and love it. They have Farrs ice cream in a ton of different flavors. Bubble gum is an all time favorite for my family.In addition they serve sandwiches and all sorts of yummy treats. But mostly we come for ice cream. The Farrs in Ogden is so crowded and not fun in the heat or cold. Plus they dont have all the other fun goodies (fudge and a gift shop that is an ever changing array of gag gifts, regular gifts and slightly off color jokes).Come to get underwear Band-Aids, vintage candy and all sorts of crazy things. It has a little bit of Grandma flavor thrown in. Part of the fun is to see what they have each time we go.Always clean except the jokes!!!!
Come for the ice cream, stay for the gift shop and return for the fudge! This cute little shop really has it all including retro gifts and elaborate decorations for every holiday. The cherry on top is the excellent customer service!
Fun store, has old games, toys and soda in bottles. FARRs rents space, they sell their icecream there. Homemade candy, fudge, soups and sandwiches. Fun place.
This is our favorite place to get ice cream in Ogden. It has a lot of seating and probably around 50-60 flavors. I have had a lot of great, unique flavors here. On top of ice cream they also have an old fashioned soda fountain where they hand-make drinks. The shop is also fun to look around. The owners are very friendly as well. I cant recommend this highly enough.
Always love the gift shop and ice cream!
Fun store with tons of old style candies, sodas, toys, nick naks. Ice cream, floats, banana splits, a soda bar with old style cherry cokes, cream soda and tons of other things to look at!! Fun for kids and adults!
As always this place has a phenomenal atmosphere and great service. Customer service is always friendly and the amount of Farr Better Ice Cream and Sorbets that they have on hand to be served is more than any other shop that I have seen. I highly recommend this place for a date or a venture with the family!
Good sandwiches and soup. I wish I couldve tried some ice cream because it looked good. Friendly service, polite and kind. But what stole the show for me is the fountain drink made on spot. By far some of the best soda Ive had.
Love this shop, its so cute
I absolutely love this place! It has amazing icecream options and the most charming vintage themed gift shop. 😍
We love this place! Yummy treats, fantastic fudge a great gifts.
Great place to go.
Great tasting sandwiches made to order with menu items as well, but main thing is the high quality icecream many different flavors old fashioned soda fountain, waffle cones and fudge. There is also a gift shop with novelty candy and gift type items.
Top Notch Service:Yup! Variety: Done! Cleanliness: Impeccable! These guys know how to put the sauce on Just Right.
A charming shop with a small town feel and big city variety! The choices for desserts, be it ice cream, fudge, chocolates, flashy new candy or old fashioned favorites, is unparalleled in Ogden. The room can get a little loud, but somehow thats part of the charm. I love the penny candy section - not really for pennies, but candy bought by the pound at a very reasonable price. There are treasures all over the place every time I go. And Robert is wonderful. I recommend the Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream. Dreamy!!
They got multiple of flavors of icecream. Huge fan of caramel caribou. Plus their fudge and classic candies are awesome to get. Great service
A banana Split, or a brownie Sunday, or a scoop of ice cream, you are going to be happy!!! AND I got a giant mustache magnant so I was extremely happy!!!!!
Super cool little secret. I must have driven by this treasure a thousand times. Glad I stopped to grab some ice cream.
If you havent experienced the Burch Creek Mercantile you are truly missing out! If you are 50 + you can take yourself back to memories of an old soda fountain. If your not and want to know what it was like in the days of your parents and grandparents this is the place! The owner has taken great detail to make this shop something of yesteryear! What a fun place!!! Go see for yourself!
We love coming here for an ice cream cone and to look around at the cute and funny gifts! Weve always had great customer service! Such a unique and fun place :)
This is a fun little shop with not only great Farrs ice cream but some pretty cool nostalgia and some fun knick knacks. Definitely stop in.
This place is the GREATEST! Friendly service. FUN atmosphere.
Home town feel and great people behind the counter.
I enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the food was pretty damn fresh so if you want a good date night here it is
We love the atmosphere at this store. Like stepping back in time with all the vintage decor and gifts. The ice cream is over the top too!
We love Burch Creek! Its a family tradition to get candy for our Christmas Advent house here. And an ice cream cone, of course. Theyre always friendly and helpful.
I love the old fashioned atmosphere. We mostly come here for the Farrs ice ceam but we also love looking at all the nostalgic toys in the gift shop.
Terrible customer service. If you’re going to require masks then please put a sign on the door that says they’re required not that they are “strongly recommended”.
Great atmosphere. HUGE scoops of ice cream.
This place is amazing and adorable. Amazing ice cream and funny gift shop toys and items. A must visit for anyone in the Ogden area.
Such a great place. The food and ice cream is amazing.
One of the best stores that represent ogden. Feel like a kid again.
It’s meh. They don’t have Farr’s ice cream any more and the staff aren’t very friendly. It wasn’t awful but I don’t plan on going back.
Cute, old fashion designed place. There are old timey candies, toys, and other gifts.My favorite thing to get here is the banana split, but the other choices are just as good.
Great vibe from outside the zion curtain. Really good selection of incredible Ice cream too.
This place is amazing! Such a fun old time feel, wonderful products, delicious food, marvelous staff. This place is a must visit!
Good service, cool nicely items. Awesome selection of soda. I look forward to trying the German chocolate and also other sodas they sell and the ice cream.
The best icecream! We love the atmosphere.
Girl working there not very friendly, or maybe not cut out for sales.I wanted to have ice cream at the store while there, and take two pints to go.I tasted two flavors, and then I was told I could have only one more sample, because that was their policy, I explain that I wasnt sgopping just for one cone of ice cream, and i wanted to take two pints of dif flavors home, she just sad I am sorry thats our policy, since i didnt care much for the first sample, i was lucky to hit a couple i liked, and there was my 3 samples maxed out, so i only took one pint home, very weird they didnt wanted to sale mpre ice cream at the cost of one or two other samples.lol..
Love the ice cream selection and the fudge and sandwiches are good too
Store with an old timey feel. They serve delicious Farrs ice cream here. The staff has always been friendly every time I have been here
Absolutely awful customer service. If the employees or management learn how to treat potential customers, perhaps then they wouldnt have a barren lobby in the middle of the summer.Some friends and I were meeting up in the area for a different purpose, but decided to come inside. 6 of us were there waiting for the last 3 to join (which is when we were going to buy our ice cream...it didnt make sense to us to order when our remaining friends wouldnt have arrived for another ten minutes. Ice cream doesnt exactly keep too long). One of the employees approached us and was completely rude to beligerant. Telling us to buy something or get out. When we tried to explain why we hadnt bought anything yet, he rose his voice and spoke over us instead. He refused to listen to us, and raised his voice further. He told us that he didnt want us here. I calmly responded with sir, a little tact goes a long way. His response was thats fine, get out and dont ever come backDont worry. I can assure you that neither I nor my family and friends will attempt to give you business ever again. I will be sure to share my experience with others as well.
Such a cute place and the ice cream is the best! Love all the knick knacks to look at while youre eating your ice cream
Love this spot! Sweets are divine and the merchandise is really quirky and unique.
Theres a guy in there who is super rude. Pretty sure hes the owner. He doesnt like having to serve us peasants.
I love this place! Dennis and Robert are the best!!
Horrible customer service. After being ignored at the counter (we could tell he was trying not to look at us every time he walked by), we were finally asked if we were waiting to order. When we said that we were interested in the Italian sodas, he said itll be a while and turned his back to us to continue doing what he was doing. We had been waiting patiently, and we knew that they were helping other customers with ice cream, but the way were talked to was very rude. We just decided to leave as we didnt want to give them our business.
I called this business up to talk with the store manager regarding me and my 7 friends ordering and being told to get out and never return all we were doing was on playing a game on our phone while waiting for 4 more customers to show up then at that time we would all order at the same time (as ice cream does not normally keep for too long). We were transferred to Robert who explained it was his call to kick us out saying that because he has had bad experiences in the past he took it upon himself to kick us out before we could make messes (which I dont understand because we tried to explain we are just waiting for a larger group to show up... to spend more money in the establishment). I asked to speak with his superior and was hung up on and the phone was disconnected. I can only surmise that this owner is very weary of the kinds of customers he wants to keep and not all are welcome. I would use extreme caution before coming into this establishment and choose someone a lot friendlier and more well known such as Faars I wished him the best and told him me and my family would not be coming back as requested and I intend to tell every person I know of this experience as this was one of the worst I have ever been treated with my family.
Great store. A little pricey but great inventory
Its kind of fun to wander around and look at the random stuff they sell, but if youre going for the ice cream, do yourself a favor and visit the actual Farr Better Ice Cream location near the Ogden LDS Temple.
Great place, nice ambiance, Farrs ice cream. Service is great, bathrooms are sparkling.
Classic old timey ice cream parlor. Super clean and novel gifts
This place is so cute...and the malt was delicious! If you need ice cream, fudge, or chocolates... go here! If you need hard to find old candy brands...go here!
Great service, yummy food, delicious ice cream!
Great place to go for relaxing and eating a mountain of ice cream. And you can explore and enjoy all the old toys and memories!
Friendly service. Cute store. Good sandwiches and ice cream.
