Summer gets all the ice cream headlines, but here's a secret the regulars know: the seasonal case at Ryan's doesn't close when the beach does. As summer winds down, it's worth a look at what the cooler months bring to the board.
Six fall flavors headed for the board
This fall the seasonal lineup goes deep. Six flavors are on the way, and every one of them was built for sweater weather:
- Pumpkin — the headliner. The cozy classic that pairs perfectly with a crisp afternoon, and the one regulars take home by the quart.
- Pumpkin Cheesecake — pumpkin's richer cousin, with a creamy cheesecake finish.
- Maple Walnut — sweet maple and toasty walnuts, an old-school scoop-shop favorite that belongs to autumn.
- Cinnamon — warm spice in a smooth scoop. Try it next to a slice of pie and thank us later.
- Caramel Apple — the boardwalk-and-orchard treat, reimagined as ice cream.
- Cranberry — bright and a little tart, the scoop that fits right in at a fall table.
All six belong to the same rotating cast as summer's Jersey Peach: they show up when the season is right and leave when it isn't, which is exactly why people look forward to them all year.
No dates, just seasons: We don't announce exact arrival dates for seasonal flavors; they show up when the season is right. The surest way to know is to check the seasonal flavors page or simply ask at the counter.
The year-round lineup isn't going anywhere
Seasonal flavors come and go by design, but the everyday board stays put: two dozen and more homemade flavors, from Butter Pecan and Mint Chip to Fruity Pebbles and Salted Caramel, made in small batches the way they have been since 1988. Browse the whole homemade lineup any time.
Can't wait? Let the wheel decide
If the anticipation gets to be too much, remember there are two dozen flavors ready right now, and the Flavor Wheel is happy to pick one for you. Fall flavors are worth the wait. The wait just doesn't have to be scoopless.
