Our shop is built on inclusion - where everyone feels welcome and every moment feels special.

Through our partnership with we provide meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and a portion of every purchase supports Best Buddies' work in the local community.

Max, our shop's namesake, who has Down syndrome, was inspired to help others just like him.

Have you tried .andersonjones Best Buddies Friendship Float yet? 🧡💛💜

If you haven't you have to try our newest Community Scoop collab. Anderson spent a lot of time perfecting the flavor combinations, deciding which gummy candies would pair best...and his creation is truly SO delicious.

Our Community Scoop collaborations are some of our favorite creations. We love working with amazing members of our community, like Anderson, to highlight creativity and all the sweet ways our community shows up.

We hid a whole lemon bar at the bottom and didn't tell anyone. 🍋 Swipe to see what's living underneath all that blueberry goodness.

Our Blueberry Lemon Delight is summer in a bowl - it starts with a whole lemon bar at the bottom, then we pile on blueberry & lemon chiffon ice creams, mini vanilla wafers, freeze-dried blueberries, pound cake crumbs, blueberry puree, lemon curd, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
