“This Dairy Queen is hands down the best of the bunch! The staff is always so kind, and they move fast - especially with mobile orders. Everything tastes exactly as it should, every single time - consistent, delicious, and just what you expect (which is rare for a lot of franchise spots!). Love, love, LOVE this place! 🍦❤️“

Parking: There is parking all around the building.“

“Probably the best ice cream I have ever had.“

“This was such an amazing place to go, I can’t wait to come here more in the summer time, they were so patient and sweet and the food was amazing, they have a small shop inside with Bible verses and that won my heart over, I love this place.“

“Whenever I get to Lancaster I hit Rolled Cold Creamery. And once again they created me an edible work of art. It was a cheese cake strawberry masterpiece.
Beautiful and delicious as usual.
These young ladies do incredible work.

“Splits & Giggles is one of our favorite things about living in Lancaster. Delicious ice cream, pleasant and efficient staff, and the lovely outdoor patio. Owner Dave recently brought the ice cream cart to our gathering of family and friends and everyone raved. Thank you Dave and staff!“

“So delicious soft serve 🍦“

“My family loves to get ice cream here! It is a little more pricey so we don't come very often. But when we have, it has been great! The only downfall is because it is such a small shop and the process takes a while, there's often a long wait. If you are willing to wait, the ice cream and the experience is great!“

“Love the warm welcome vibes. Yummy food and great staff.🥰“

“We stopped here on a food tour downtown and absolutely fell in love! The incredible story and heart behind this business, their mission and the ice cream that we got to try(amazing!) made us really want to come back and support this business! Would highly recommend!“

“This was something like my 3rd visit. It is an absolute must when coming to Amish Country. Make it a jumping off place for your exploring. The baked goods are amazing, the service is friendly, efficient and well thought out and the ambiance lets you begin to feel that you have really stepped away from your busy, modern life. Great for families, tourists or those who just want a to slow down.“

“love their truck at local events! great ice cream stop, great for family/ kids“

“What a wonderful place to stop in have a bite to eat at the cafe some coffee and some ice cream .They have other things to purchase while you wait. Lots of Amish goodies to take home. They have a children's barn type play area inside . I 💯 will be coming back. Wish I had more time to walk around“

“Had wonderful coffee and a delicious wrap! Would highly recommend 🌻🌻🌻“

“Thank you so much for offering vegan cupcakes! Due to this, my first grade daughter was able to take in a treat to celebrate her birthday! The birthday treats need to be store bought, and it is so hard to find something fun and vegan. The entire class loved the cupcakes! My daughter said "this was the best school birthday yet!"“
