Papi's Creamery brings cult-favorite ice cream drops to Richmond
Papi's Creamery — a scratch-made ice cream business out of Yorktown — is opening a Richmond pickup spot. Why it matters: Papi's has developed a cult following in Hampton Roads — and Richmonders can get in on the fun starting this week. State of play: Papi's is from Diego Diaz Infante, an Instagram ice cream reviewer-turned-maker who opened his Yorktown shop in 2024, per the Williamsburg Yorktown Daily . The schtick: flavors rotate weekly and are often inspired by Diaz Infante's Mexican heritage (past options include Mexican banana pie and mango tres leches). Yes, but: Papi's isn't your traditional ice cream shop. It specializes in scratch-made, small-batch ice cream sold by the pint through limited weekly drops. How it works: The first Richmond drop goes live on HotPlate Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7pm, with pickups Oct. 9-10. Pints cost $12.50. After that, Papi's will release a new rotating menu every Thursday at 7pm, with Friday and Saturday pickups. The Richmond shop is at 2105 Lake Ave., just off West Broad near Willow Lawn. Fun fact: Once a flavor sells out, Papi's generally won't bring it back for six to 18 months, Diaz Infante tells Axios. If you go: Papi's Richmond's
