点评:Hopkins Farm Creamery has been one of our favorite things about Lewes, DE when we moved here several years ago and friends introduced us to their operation.
The ice cream is simply phenomenal - so good that it's ruined Ben & Jerry for us, for example. Last fall, they said they weren't going to close as they did last winter, but would remain open year round - but they were closed from December well into April. Their hours are posted on their site, but we've been multiple times since they opened to find them closed. Today we went and they had only about 12 flavors on a "remaining" white board list. I don't know if selling all their cows has impacted their ability to get supplies or if they're in the process of shuttering the operation. It seems inconceivable they'd have that little ice cream the weekend before Memorial Day.
To our disappointment and that of our neighbors and friends, they've become too unreliable to make the effort to see if they're either open or have ice cream. I hope this improves, as they are a much loved part of the local scene, one of the charms of Lewes and the best ice cream I've ever had. I gave them a 5 rating for the ice cream itself, which was lowered by the 1 of their service/operation.

冰淇淋简直太棒了——太棒了,以至于它毁了我们的 Ben & Jerry,例如。去年秋天,他们表示不会像去年冬天那样关闭,而是全年开放 - 但从 12 月一直关闭到 4 月。他们的营业时间发布在他们的网站上,但自从他们开门后我们已经多次发现他们关门了。今天我们去了,他们在“剩余”的白板上只有大约 12 种口味。我不知道卖掉他们所有的奶牛是否影响了他们获得供应的能力,或者他们是否正在关闭该业务。很难想象他们会在阵亡将士纪念日之前的那个周末吃到那个小冰淇淋。
令我们以及我们的邻居和朋友失望的是,他们变得太不可靠了,以至于无法努力查看他们是否开门或有冰淇淋。我希望这会有所改善,因为它们是当地场景中备受喜爱的一部分,是刘易斯的魅力之一,也是我吃过的最好的冰淇淋。我给他们的冰淇淋本身打了 5 分,他们的服务/操作打了 1 分。
