Come see our students in action by visiting the UT Creamery on weekdays and Saturdays from noon to 7 p.m.
The return of the UT Creamery, founded in 1915, is a sweet moment. A new storefront ice cream shop and boutique in the UT Culinary Institute and Creamery, formerly the site of UT Visitors Center, is ready and welcomes guests at 2712 Neyland Drive.
UT Creamery’s primary purpose is to provide related experiences to their fields of study, while offering premium ice cream and a wide-ranging choice of UT Creamery and Rocky Top themed merchandise. A variety of roles are offered to students including, modern ice cream production methods, manufacturing, logistics, product development, retail business management and analytics, marketing, merchandising, event planning, customer service, and direct-to-customer sales.

The partnership provides students with experiential learning opportunities in retail and ice cream production.
Made by Students for Students
The UT Creamery has partnered with Aramark to provide the ice cream base for Big Orange Grill to serve milkshakes in the Student Union. Through this partnership, food science students engage in experiential learning by creating a product sold at a Vol Dining location across campus.
