  • Scooping Happiness in Santa Fe: Hello Sweet Cream’s Ryan VanderGiesen
    Oct 9 2025

    Send us Fan Mail

    Bunny sits down with Ryan VanderGiesen, founder of Hello Sweet Cream, the artisanal ice cream shop winning hearts from Eldorado to CHOMP. Ryan shares his leap from a Fortune 35 corporate role to “phase two” in Santa Fe, family roots in soda fountains, and the craft behind his ultra-creamy, low-overrun ice cream. We talk blue corn with piñon brittle, basil-berry cheesecake crumble, apple green chile crumble, and a new 21+ pumpkin-ale experiment.

    Plus: why Santa Fe’s kindness, creativity, and community made this dream possible—and where to find a fresh waffle cone today.
