Pine Cone Creamery is a family-owned ice cream shop brought alive from the vision of Kory and Rachel Nagler, owners of The Maple Counter Cafe, which has been serving breakfast to the Walla Walla masses since 2011.

Rachel and Kory both grew up on the Olympic Peninsula on the West side of the state and attended The University of Washington, where Rachel worked thru college at an ice cream shop on The Ave, dreaming of opening her own shop one day. Kory too loved the idea of creating a multi-generational community-gathering place where you could run into neighbors, spend time with friends and family, and make the vastness of the world feel a bit smaller by sharing a sweet treat with someone you love.

Life took Kory and Rachel in the direction of The Maple Counter, but the dream of an ice cream shop never left. The pieces finally came together in 2020 and despite the madness of opening a new business during Covid, and welcoming their third child to boot, the dream of The Pine Cone Creamery persisted, and the power of ice cream to connect people remains at the heart of their vision.
