17 Best Ice Cream Shops near Columbia

“Great place but staff needs to supervise the area way to many kids running around, un supervised, doing whatever they please and screaming their heads off. really needs some sort of supervision or something cause this is jist god awful.“

“On the night of my wife’s birthday, we found ourselves at the end of a long 4.5 hour car ride coming home, craving a special treat. We arrived just before closing (we know, everyone hates that) but employee Chris went above and beyond helping us out. He was patient, offered good suggestions, and hooked us up with a special blizzard complete with a lit birthday candle for my wife! If he’s not already shift manager, he should be! Someone give this man a raise! Thanks Chris!“

“Waitress Tiffany was very nice along with the cook! Cute place to grab a bit to eat❤️ Keep up the good work!“

“Great customer service, amazing food that is flavorful. I got the C&C breakfast bowl (Love it) They also provide coloring books and crayons for children. I will be a returning customer (God Willing).“

“This was our first time today. We were tired of the same food/mini golf near our house and google suggested them! We were very impressed with the food & ice cream! We also played mini golf as well! We definitely will be back!“

“Love coming here for the ice cream and treats for the pup! My husband and I always get milkshakes (which are delicious) and the staff let me mix 2 flavors (black raspberry and cookies & cream) and it was so good! Will continue to keep coming back“

“Figments in Sprinkles is so much more than ice cream!! It's a top tier experience! From the fun atmosphere, excellent & friendly service, products of exceptional quality, caring and involved management - every visit is memorable. Elizabethtown is so lucky to have this gem in our town! Love this place!!“

“The young ladies working behind the counter were friendly and helpful. They were quick to help us check the ingredients due to a food allergy and didn’t make us feel like an inconvenience. The ice cream was delicious and they had some great flavors I haven’t seen before.“

“Awesome place to stop in for ice cream! Scoops were enormous and delicious! Tons of flavors. My buddy got a milk shake (which apparently they're known for) and said it was delicious.Lots of picnic tables to sit at outside as well as activities like arcade and nice looking mini-golf course. Highly recommend and definitely looking forward to returning for more of their ice cream! 2 scoops is plenty!! (though I got three :)“

“We normally don't eat in the restaurant. I order on-line and pick it up. The food is very good and the order is always ready on time. Sometimes when I want a little less food, I'll order from the children's menu. It always includes a small drink and a small dessert. You can't go wrong with that.“

“Loved since we moved to PA in 2002, near the Stewartstown area, back when it was Summer’s. Young people, high school & college age, work there. They are very nice. When I order my milkshake extra thick, they listen. Soooo, yummy. Our kids, grandkids, my mom, and dog love it. Bubby always orders the Puppy Cup, even though he’s 12 now. Rita’s and Baskin Robbin’s are good, but nothing beats Bonkey’s.“

“Best roll ice cream and lots of drink options.“

“Tremendous ice cream! Friendly service.“

“Definitely a spot I would come to more than once. Ice cream is cheap, within the $4 to $7 range dependent on what you get. They also had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from.

Not only does this place offer yummy ice-cream, but also a mini-golf course with about 20-25 holes. Not a super complicated course, so good for kids or a quick date. Cost was $7 a person.

I did not have the opportunity to try the food, but it was available if it was something you are interested in.

Can get pretty busy on a nice day, but has plenty of outdoor seating.

My only wish is that this place accepted card. It is cash only, no cards accepted. However, there is an ATM available for use. I think switching to accepting cards and cash could be beneficial for the company and customers.

Overall, a great place to go to if you are craving something sweet or looking for something to do. Will be returning.“

“I love Rita’s and will continue to come here regularly but it is unacceptable and to me it should not be allowed to only have one person attending many costumers! The girl who was working today 03/12/25 was amazing and was obviously working very hard to attend to all of us but the wait time was obviously very long (45mins to be exact) and because i drove from middletown to here i waited. I hope she gets to keep all the tips to herself!!!“

“4 out of 5 only because one of their freezers was out of service so flavors were limited. But I tried a sample of "Baseball Nut" and that turned into a double scoop on a cone! Delicious so 5 out of 5 for the flavor and the treat! Thanks BR!“
