15 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dillsburg

“The owner Mindy, is such a sweet person. All of her employees are also very kind, sweet, & excellent workers. I'd recommend this Dairy Queen to be the best one in the central Pennsylvania area. Thanks Mindy for your AWESOME Customer Service 🥰♥️🥰“

“We stopped by Candy Mountain Creamery and loved it! The affogato was absolutely amazing, the perfect combination of rich espresso and creamy ice cream. My daughter had the vanilla soft serve and said it was the best she’s ever had. It’s so cute inside. We’ll definitely be back!“

“A true hidden gem. Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had, and my toddler (and my husband and I) had such a good time feeding and petting the animals. This place presents a wonderful way to bring awareness to our dairy farmers and we will certainly be back to support as much as we can.“

“The ice cream is good, I like the different flavors and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. However being an ice cream cone lover I seldom visit because I would like the option of a plain old ice cream cone rather than a waffle cone😊“

“We love this place! The prices are great and the people who work it have always been very pleasant.“

“OH MY GOSH!!!! is what I have to say...
The customer service is A1
The product is superb & they let you mix flavorz to customize your ice cream..
I forgot to mention that their waffle cones and bowls are made on site & can be smelled from yards away.
When you lean into the window there is no smell of sour milk either.

“Excellent! They have the best custard known to man! And their variety of Italian ice flavors are wonderful! Still have many of the original flavors we've grown to love plus many other mixes of custard, Italian ice, frappes, lemonade, and more. It's been my favorite gelati joint for over 10 years.

Parking: There are about 5 parking spots in front of the shop, however in the summertime they are always full. In the Lemoyne location, there is a Dollar General next door that allow customers to park and walk a few feet to the shop.

Kid-friendliness: There are a few picnic benches where many families sit with children and doggies too!

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all one level so yes it is wheelchair accessible.“

“Rakestraw’s is my go-to stop for ice cream. Their ice cream is outstanding! They always have my favorite flavor, Banana Pudding, in stock. My kids love their homemade milkshakes!

The portion sizes are incredibly generous, especially for the price, and the waffle cones are absolutely delicious. Every visit is a great value!

What really sets Rakestraw’s apart, though, is the people. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owners are fantastic. They are genuinely invested in the community and have supported our school through several giveback events over the past few years. It’s clear they care about more than just serving great ice cream.

If you’re looking for amazing ice cream, friendly service, and a business that gives back to the community, Rakestraw’s is hard to beat!“

“the portions are massive so keep that in mind when ordering 😅 we have a bowl of extra not pictured! the quality is incredible, i’ve been wanting to stop here for so long and im so glad we finally did. the fat elvis banana HAS to be made with real banana, there’s no fake banana flavoring, and there’s massive chunks of pb in it too! well sooo be back!“

“I love Crumbl! The business is absolutely pristine inside with the wonderful smell of cookies baking. I’ve always had positive interactions with the employees and they are more than willing to be helpful. I will be a Crumbl fan for life! 🍪“

“Visited Cold Stone Creamery in Mechanicsburg recently and had a really good experience. The ice cream was fresh, creamy, and the mix-ins were blended perfectly. Staff was friendly and patient while taking the order, and the place had a nice atmosphere. Loved the variety of flavors and toppings available. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving desserts or ice cream with friends and family. Will be visiting again soon!“

“I have been a Dairy Queen fan for probably 40+ years of my life. Started out as an occasional treat for my husband and I when we were first married in Hagerstown, MD. Over the years we’ve moved around with his job, and we’ve ended up retiring here in Mechanicsburg. We’ve been going to the Simpson St. Dairy Queen for over 24 years and I have to tell you, the people who work there are like family to us, especially to me since I am usually the customer. They are always ready to serve you with a smile and a kind word, even when they are BUSY! I have three grown daughters who all live far away and I miss them, but the girls here are like daughters to me. Today, on the day before Mother’s Day, when I was feeling a little down because I couldn’t be with my own daughters, I was given a special treat that MADE MY DAY! In a world where we are struggling with a virus, and we read of so much suffering, it is a blessing to know that there are loving people who care for others that they only know from serving them! If you’ve never been here you need to go, not only for the delicious ice cream, but for the family-friendly atmosphere and service! Wendy R.“

“I came to Dillsburg to visit family after almost 16 years and my last night I wanted ice cream. Superior taste and smoothness and the staff was friendly and scooped the best ice cream I've had in my adult life. It wont be another 16 years before I come back and have some more of this sweet treat!“

“Abso-freakin-lutely AMAZING 🤩!“

“I am happy this Dairy Queen is open during the winter months. I hope they will continue to do so. The ice cream is superb and the atmosphere is family friendly. I am an out-of-towner and wish the Dairy Queen outlets in my area were like this one. GREAT PLACE TO VISIT!“
