High Road Craft Ice Cream

What High Road Craft Ice Cream does

High Road Craft Ice Cream is a United States-based craft frozen dessert manufacturer founded in 2010 and headquartered in Marietta. The company produces all-natural luxury ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen dessert mixes, serving both B2B foodservice customers (chefs, restaurants) and consumer/food enthusiast end-buyers. Its portfolio spans multiple premium frozen dessert formats rather than a single product line, indicating breadth across the artisanal category.

The company's go-to-market combines a chef-focused foodservice distribution model with reach into food lovers and specialty retail channels. In September 2018, High Road expanded its scale and product breadth through the acquisition of Ciao Bella Gelato, a recognized premium gelato brand, suggesting an inorganic growth strategy alongside organic product development. The business is led by a family executive team with Keith Schroeder as Chief Executive Officer and Nicki Schroeder as Chief Marketing Officer (CXO).

The company operates as a privately held for-profit business with 51-100 employees. No disclosed revenue, funding history, customer logos, pricing model, or technology stack were available in the source data, which limits visibility into commercial mechanics and capital structure.

Direct peers

• Van Leeuwen Ice Cream: Premium ice cream brand emphasizing high-quality, natural ingredients and a chef-driven aesthetic. Comparable to High Road in ingredient philosophy, premium price point, and retail/foodservice channel mix.
• Salt & Straw Ice Cream: Artisanal, chef-inspired ice cream brand with strong foodservice ties and a national scoop-shop footprint. Direct competitor in the premium craft segment targeting chefs and food enthusiasts.
• McConnell's Fine Ice Creams: Independent, premium ice cream maker with a clean-ingredient focus and restaurant/supermarket distribution. Comparable to High Road in scale, positioning, and channel mix.
• Talenti Gelato: National gelato brand (acquired by Ciao Bella, now Unilever) directly overlapping High Road's gelato product line post-Ciao Bella acquisition. Comparable in product format and channel, though at meaningfully larger scale.
• Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams: Premium, small-batch, direct-to-consumer and retail ice cream brand with a comparable craft positioning and broad flavor portfolio. Highly comparable to High Road's all-natural, luxury positioning and foodservice presence.

Broad incumbents

• Ben & Jerry's Homemade: Unilever-owned super-premium ice cream brand with national grocery and scoop-shop distribution. Larger incumbent in the same premium frozen-dessert category High Road competes in.
• Häagen-Dazs: Iconic super-premium ice cream brand (Nestlé) with broad retail and foodservice distribution. Establishes the upper-end benchmark High Road competes against in the premium tier.
• Wells Enterprises (Blue Bunny): Large U.S. frozen-dessert manufacturer with multiple brands spanning mainstream and premium tiers. Represents the broader competitive set and private-label threat in frozen desserts.

Emerging players

• Gelato Fiasco: Independent premium gelato and sorbet maker with retail and foodservice distribution. Comparable product mix (gelato, sorbet) and craft positioning to High Road, but smaller regional footprint.
• Blue Marble Ice Cream: Premium organic ice cream brand serving natural foods retail and foodservice. Comparable in clean-ingredient positioning and overlapping channel mix with High Road.
