San Antonio, TX — When Mike Chue moved to San Antonio from New York, he saw a gap in the local food scene: a lack of Asian-inspired ice cream. With a background in real estate and a passion for food, Chue decided to fill that gap by creating his own business — Dorp Creamery, a unique venture that combines his cultural heritage with his entrepreneurial spirit.
Chue, a Staten Island native, drew inspiration from his roots when naming the business. “Dorp” is a nod to his hometown of New Dorp, and the word itself translates to “village” in Dutch, reflecting the sense of community Chue wants to foster through his ice cream. The company’s concept aims to celebrate the flavors and traditions of Asian culture while bringing people together with each scoop.
Since launching, Dorp Creamery has gained popularity with locals, thanks to its ice cream truck that makes the rounds at various pop-up events throughout San Antonio. Chue’s innovative offerings are designed to blend traditional Asian ingredients with the comforting appeal of ice cream, offering a fresh and flavorful take on the classic treat.
Chue’s venture not only fills a niche in the city’s culinary landscape but also serves as a tribute to the diverse cultures that influence both his personal and professional life.
