21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Adamstown

“We stumbled upon this restaurant while antique shopping. Oh my it was wonderful! Best cheeseburger ever! Everything was delicious! The ice cream was so so good! We are from South Carolina and are so glad we decided to stop. It’s definitely a must if we go back to Pennsylvania!❤️❤️❤️“

“Love blizzards, usually try something new each visit. Peach cobbler, salted caramel, heath bar are a few favorites.

Dietary restrictions: Not a dieting kind of place

Parking: Spaces are very tight. Angled parking might help, entering from 272, and exiting on academy. Just a thought.“

“I love it, I recommend it, there is a lot of variety to delight in, in a comfortable environment, the girls are very friendly, the best of the best, you can have a family gathering, the children love ice cream, there is fast ordering, the clean place has parking, it is visited by the population. There are people who travel half an hour an hour like me who said I have to try a chicharon that I really enjoyed. Charming accompanied by fresh waters“

“I've been buying icream cakes here for birthdays for over 30 years and they are always the best. First it was daughters now it's grandkids. These cakes travel to other states because they are in demand! This year a granddaughter asked for a cupcake ice-cream cake. I put the request out there and the wish, though not on the menu, was granted. I couldn't be more pleased. These guys are the best and I highly recommend getting your desert cakes there!!!“

“This is a lovely place to visit. The employees were friendly and asked questions to get the orders right. We all got waffle cones. It was delicious! They have a wooden train for the kids to climb on. There was a little bit of rotted wood. There were plenty of tables and chairs. It is right next to a road so you must watch small children closely.

Kid-friendliness: There are small toys for the kids and a wooden train to climb on.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps you can get a wheelchair go and down.“

“In regards to the Sinking Spring Rita's... No problem with the food itself. But after waiting 25 minutes in line, I was greeted with super rude customer service. Ordered a watermelon gelati, small, took a breath to keep talking, but the girl already turned away and started making it in the back, before she knew what flavor custard I wanted. She made vanilla and another girl asked if that was all. I asked for a twist for my custard and the original girl said "it's already made" and I said "I didn't finish my order" and my partner said "can you make it again please" after she gave us silence. Then she said "next time say that when you order" and I said "you walked away." Then we paid and resumed our lives. She was ready to walk away before I even told her what size I wanted. At the very least ask what flavor custard I want if you thought I was done ordering, don't just walk away without knowing what the customer wants. Incredibly rude to then imply I have to take the wrong order simply bc you made it wrong. So to the short blonde chick working last night (04/28/24) at this location around 6:30pm, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe you had a bad day or were stressed bc the line was long and you were busy; however, use this as a chance to reflect and learn how to manage your mouth and take accountability for your actions, esp at work, bc you were just unnecessarily rude when you were the one who messed up. Or just take the customers whole order first.“

“So good 10/10!❤️ I definitely will go back“

Next up the food it was delicious and filling . Staff very personable , owner loved chatting up Philly . We truly will be back and pass the wird to our Philly families .“

“The vibrant colors and icy treats beckoned to me like a siren's call. Holy Gelati, Batman! What an icy adventure I had at Rita's Italian Ice. Nestled outside of Reading, in the heart of Shillington, this Rita's joint is the go-to spot for a frosty treat that hits the spot. The real cherry on top of this frozen fiesta was Allison herself. Not only was she a master at crafting the perfect ice concoction, but her friendly demeanor and infectious smile made the whole experience truly memorable. She even posed for a picture with me, adding an extra dash of superhero flair to my Rita's adventure. Thanks for being chill, Allison. Whether you're a local looking for a sweet escape or a crime fighter patrolling the hustling and bustling Lancaster Ave, Rita's Italian Ice is a must-visit destination. And if you're lucky, you might just get to chill out with the legendary BatmanJawn himself – action figure by day, ice cream aficionado by night. Thanks, Rita's, for a frosty-fantastic time! Be cool, eat a Rita's.“

“Got the VIP treatment today :) such amazing customer service here, and the owner David is so awesome and friendly! Thanks for making my family and I cotton candy!!“

“New management took over, it can only go Up from what it was! Welcome to the neighborhood!“

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

“Good food! Fast service! Great experience! Will come again!“

“good cookies although never know when they run out and they just kinda give you what they have also need more organization because when your done ordering it’s just a like a big mob of people waiting for there order while there’s another wave of people producing that need to order or just came in“

“The ice cream is fabulous, the girl working at about 845 this evening could use some customer service training. Not even an attempt at being friendly or courteous. Even rolling her eyes when I upsized my girlfriend's ice cream. Very short responses to just get us out. No toppings offered. Not quite rude, but definitely not welcoming or friendly in any way. I'll be back for the ice cream, hopefully the service will meet the same expectations that the ice cream does when I return.“

“Had the best time last night with a party of 8. All appetizers and dinners were delicious. I cannot stop thinking about the homemade tomato Gorgonzola vinaigrette. I almost licked my plate. You cannot beat this homemade food. We will be eating here regularly and will tell all of our friends!“
