Thelma's Treats

Thelma's began in 2012 when Dereck Lewis and his mom, Lana, started selling handmade ice cream sandwiches at the Des Moines Downtown Farmers Market. Using Great-Grandma Thelma's snickerdoodle recipe with local Anderson Erickson ice cream squished in between, they watched as customers flocked to their little pushcart.

In 2016, Thelma's sweet treats made their way to the Twin Cities retail market, the St. Paul Saints' stadium and special events like the Grand Old Day festival. They have also expanded their flavors from Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle to distinctively unique and appealing ones like S'mores and Caramel Coffee.

Thelma's still makes each ice cream sandwich by hand in their production kitchen in Des Moines, Iowa. Thoughtfully made with love in every bite, Thelma's is spreading more joy than ever!
