June 1, 2004: Creole Creamery, another 1950s-style ice cream parlor, opened in the historic McKenzie’s Bakery space earlier this spring. It joins Vaqueros, La Crepe Nanou, Upperline and Kyoto in this secreted Uptown food pocket and is always hopping. Developer Jim MacPhaille purchased and restored the entire McKenzie’s building (there are apartments upstairs) after a fast-food restaurant threatened to move into the neighborhood. The flavors here are exciting — Creole cream cheese, plum-walnut, bananas Foster… I’ve heard other customers oohing over its ‘creaminess,’ so taste for yourself.
