Sweet news alert: Umbrella Creamery scooping up smiles in Folsom

Great news for families looking for their next sweet adventure: Umbrella Creamery is coming to our neighborhood! This new artisanal ice cream shop is setting up in the Prairie City Crossing shopping center on Prairie City Road, near the Intel campus. With 1,300 square feet of frozen goodness, Umbrella Creamery is promising to bring handcrafted ice cream to Folsom families. While the owners are keeping the delicious details under wraps for now, their Facebook page proudly showcases their "artisanal ice cream" focus, which already has locals planning their first visit. Now yes, we already have plenty of ice cream options in Folsom, but let's give this new local business a shot. Picture this: After soccer practice, piano lessons or just because it's Tuesday, families can pop over for a treat. The new creamery will take over the space previously occupied by Bambu, the Vietnamese dessert shop that closed earlier this year, proving that sometimes when one sweet door closes, an even sweeter one opens. Here's to new adventures, happy kids, supporting local entrepreneurs and the universal truth that everything is better with ice cream. Opening date coming soon: umbrellacreamery.com Discovering family-friendly destinations and adventures beyond our backyard. Got story ideas, questions or comments?
