The ice cream are so good! And you get a huge cup for just $3! The burgers are very good too (forgot to take pictures) - very juice patties with very fresh lettuce and tomato.

Another 5-star rating that is well deserved, the ice cream and BLT’s hit the spot for their portion size and kindness of the little lady who served us. All for under $25 to eat for the two of us. Don’t miss out on Amish hospitality.

This is an amazing local ice cream spot! We came a few minutes before closing time and they were super friendly and willing to serve us! Our order was complicated, but they served us with grace, and it was such an enjoyable experience! We go here fairly frequently now, and all their flavors and creations are amazing! The milkshakes and sundaes are the best we’ve ever had, and the ice cream flavors are out of this world! I definitely recommend this!

*cash only* Open until 8 Great ice cream and other dairy items Not overpriced ! Play area for kids Saw this on the map and decided to stop. Thought it was the Pennstate creamery. I pull in the parking lot, no cars there and no lights on. Didn't see anyone inside. Google said it was open, the door said "open come in", and there was a sign outside with summer hours indicating it was open. Disappointed they abandoned working for the day, I took a picture of the sign and for fun, tried opening the door. They are amish! So... if it looks closed, don't leave ! As for the ice cream, I got the cookies and cream/oreo and was impressed. I grew up next to a dairy farm and their cookies and cream is unlike any I've ever had. The ice cream is darker and the cookies are mixed in. Well this place was
