Cookman Creamery Draws Visitors and Votes in Asbury Park Ice Cream Playoffs

Cookman Creamery, a family‑owned ice‑cream shop run by the Johnson family on Cookman Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey, offers small‑batch dairy and vegan flavors and a rotating lineup of seasonal varieties. The shop emphasizes local involvement, hiring many young residents and supporting community events. In partnership with Asbury Park’s Parlor Gallery, the creamery launched an ice‑cream‑themed art show called “The Ice Cream Parlor,” which opened on 1 August and will run through 8 September. Cookman Creamery is also a contestant in the Jersey Shore Ice Cream Playoffs, urging the public to vote for the shop to win a $10,000 advertising grant from Townsquare Media.
