Moorenko's

Moorenko's Ice Cream is an American small-batch ice cream and sorbet brand built around the idea of making ice cream that rivals the best products in the United States and Europe while also being better from a nutritional point of view. The brand was founded by Susan Soorenko, who is described as Founder and Master Chef. According to the company, she studied under renowned ice cream experts in New York and a master gelato maker in Italy before perfecting her own process and recipes and setting out to make ice cream at the highest possible level. The brand positions itself on craftsmanship and ingredient quality. Its website states that Moorenko's Ice Cream is hand crafted in small batches from the very best ingredients, and that the world's best ice cream is made in small batches by real people. The product range spans classic and inventive flavors, including Bittersweet Chocolate, Blackberry Chocolate Chip, Blackberry Sorbet, Cherry Stracciatella, Cinnamon, Cappuccino, Cookie Overload, Fresh Ginger, Honey Lavender, Mango Sorbet, Peppermint Stick, Salted Caramel & Praline, Fresh Strawberry, French Vanilla, White Chocolate Mint, and Wild Blueberry. The mix of dairy ice cream and fruit sorbets indicates a range designed for both traditional and lighter or dairy-free preferences. Moorenko's sells through its own scoop shops and through local stores, and its website directs customers to find a scoop shop or find the product in local stores. The company also states that Moorenko's has earned a place on some of the most exclusive menus in North America, indicating a foodservice and wholesale dimension alongside retail and direct-to-consumer scoop shop sales. The brand's stated purpose is experiential: as founder Susan Soorenko puts it, customers come into the scoop shops to get away from daily life for a moment of joy. As a privately held, founder-led artisanal food brand, Moorenko's competes in the premium ice cream segment, where differentiation rests on small-batch production, distinctive flavors, and ingredient sourcing rather than mass-market scale. Its dual presence in scoop shops and on restaurant menus gives it both a consumer-facing retail identity and a culinary-trade reputation.
