Penn State Berkey Creamery

While visiting Penn State, we were told that stopping at the Penn State Berkey Creamery was an absolute must—and it definitely lived up to the recommendation. The ice cream was fantastic: rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can tell right away why it has such a strong reputation among students, alumni, and visitors. 🍦 One thing that caught us off guard is that they don’t really offer multiple portion sizes—it’s essentially one generous serving size for everyone. While that might surprise some people, the quality of the ice cream makes it easy to overlook. The variety of flavors was excellent, and everything was well organized and easy to access even with the steady flow of visitors. If you’re visiting Penn State, this is definitely a stop worth making. Great ice cream, great flavors,

Absolutely a gem for anyone in Penn State and others visiting State College. Love Happy Happy Joy Joy flavor. Hope to visit soon again. We Are! 🐾

Ice cream as good or better than you can get anywhere! I went Happy Happy Joy Joy (which is basically an Almond Joy bar ice cream) and it was by far the best I've ever had. It's what one imagines whenever ordering "Almond Joy" flavor, but I'm generally disappointed at the weak coconut flavor etc. This is the real thing, SO good.

An institute. Renowned for the Agriculture School's proud 100+++ year ice cream making and education history. Highly recommend doing one of the frozen dessert short courses of you have the time and means. The ice cream itself is very good of course, flavour and texture caters well to the US palate. Very large serves, only one flavour allowed in a cup/cone but you can try before you buy. Happy happy joy joy, death by chocolate are my solid favourites. Fresh dipped is always best, but you can also order the tubs to be delivered to you.

The Penn State Creamery is a must visit. I had the Peachy Paterno and loved the real chunks of fresh peaches in every bite. The rest of the family raved about the Chocolate Marshmallow and the Peanut Butter Swirl. Both were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. If you are in Happy Valley, make this a definite stop. You will not regret it.
