We thank original creators and ice cream connoisseurs,  David  & John for so many years of service to the community. Our family is looking forward to serving sweet memories to the Charlestown community in the future. We will strive to  preserve their time-honored recipes  into every scoop, while innovating new flavors as well as using our own family recipes and traditions!

Imagine a place where small-batch sweetness meets handcrafted comfort. Freshly baked pies, brownies & cupcakes fill the air with warmth, while the aroma of locally roasted coffee drifts through the space. Scoops of creamy, slow-churned ice cream—made with real ingredients and inspired by the seasons & family traditions—sit beside friends & family enjoying any of our delights!

Everything feels a little like a Saturday farmers market: friendly, colorful, simple, and real.  Fresh, whole ingredients, local products and a down-to-earth charm create a space that’s both cozy and lively. Whether you’re stopping in for a scoop, a coffee, or a fresh-from-the-oven treat, it feels like visiting your favorite market stand—where everything is made with heart and shared with a smile.

In case you’ve been wondering…The origin of Crux & Crumb.

I have always found the most joy and peace while spending time in nature, especially hiking. Whether it be alone with my thoughts or with friends & family building meaningful connections. The beauty and awe that nature provides is unmatchable.

In hiking terms, a crux is the hardest, most meaningful part of the climb—the moment that asks you to slow down, focus, and trust. It’s within this challenge that growth happens. Over the years, I have learned to lean into that challenge, growth and embrace the change that follows.

Our hope is that what we create here at Crux & Crumb offers grounding, nourishment, and a pause along your path—whether you’re in a season of climbing or resting.
