Schoolhouse Creamery has been serving homemade ice cream in Harlingen, TX since 2015.
Shortly after the shop opened, Claudia Martinez took over the business and continued building it into a local favorite known for award-winning ice cream, fresh flavors, and a welcoming neighborhood feel. What started as a sweet local shop has grown into a destination for ice cream lovers throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
Today, Schoolhouse Creamery continues to serve guests from Harlingen and surrounding areas with fresh, handmade ice cream and desserts made with pride.
What makes Schoolhouse Creamery different is simple: we make ice cream fresh, by hand, in small batches.
Our ice cream is made every few days, giving each scoop a creamy texture and rich flavor our customers can taste right away. Some flavors are everyday favorites, while others rotate depending on the season, inspiration, and even customer suggestions.
We love trying new ideas, mixing flavors, and creating desserts that keep guests excited to come back.
Schoolhouse Creamery is built on passion, creativity, and community.
Claudia and the team are always looking for new ways to make dessert fun, from classic homemade ice cream to bubble waffle creations and rotating flavor ideas. Customer suggestions often inspire new combinations, making the shop feel connected to the people it serves.
That local connection is a big part of who we are. Harlingen has supported Schoolhouse Creamery from the beginning, and we’re proud to keep serving the community with desserts made fresh and served with heart.
Schoolhouse Creamery is proud to be a female-owned business in Harlingen.
For Claudia, owning the shop is about more than ice cream. It’s about creating something meaningful, supporting the local community, and helping show what women in business can build with passion and dedication.
Every scoop represents the care, creativity, and hard work behind Schoolhouse Creamery — and we’re grateful for every customer who walks through our doors.
