About Clementine’s Naughty & Nice Ice Creamery
Clementine’s Naughty & Nice Creamery, also known as Clementine’s Creamery, is an ice cream shop with six locations in the Greater St. Louis Area that serves unique small-batch ice cream flavors, including alcoholic and vegan options. Clementine’s Creamery was founded by Tamara Keefe in 2014. CEO, Tamara, grew up impoverished in a large Irish-Italian household; she and her family could not afford to join the other families on Sunday after church for the weekly trip to the ice cream parlor.
This exclusion from community and the longing it generated, left an indelible impression on her. The day her mother purchased a $2 hand-crank ice cream maker from a garage sale changed her life forever. The family established a Sunday-ice-cream-making ritual. Word of the deliciousness spread throughout the community and soon families flocked to her home…one family bringing the cream, another bringing the sugar…
Her passion for ice cream has resulted in seven storefront locations in the St. Louis area, one in Illinois, an online shop that ships to customers nationwide, and a catering business that services weddings, parties, and special events. This ice cream entrepreneur and self-proclaimed “Flavor Temptress” is devoted to bringing people together serving up love one scoop at a time.
In 2014, Tamara worked in a lab with her network of food scientists and chemists to develop and perfect Clementine’s trade secret process for freezing alcohol into ice cream. She is a 2018 alum of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Businesses program, and in early 2019 was honored as a Tory Burch Fellow. She is currently a board member of St. Louis Civic Pride and serves as the 2019 MyEO Chair for EO Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
