ICE CREAM, CANDY, AND KITSCH
A New Buffalo landmark and summertime hotspot for 40 years, Oink’s serves up 50+ flavors of Ashby’s ice cream with a healthy dose of kitsch and small-town pride. Among a 3000+ collection of pig and ice cream memorabilia, enjoy classic cones, shakes, splits, floats, flurries, or one very large ten-scoop sundae. A separate entrance leads to Oink’s candy store, filled with old-school favorites you might be surprised still exist.
If you were ice cream, you’d want to be served at Oink’s.
Local Tip: On the Sunday before Halloween, Oink’s gives everyone in costume free Blue Moon ice cream. And ghoulish blue lips. Just in case you’re wondering…
