14 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 🥰♥️🥰“

“I’ve been coming to Candy Mountain Creamery with my family for a while now, and it’s always been one of our favorite spots. The ice cream is great, and the overall atmosphere has usually been welcoming and relaxed at both the store and the ice cream truck.

That’s why this recent visit stood out in a disappointing way. There was an older employee working who made the environment feel noticeably tense and uncomfortable. There was also a bit of an attitude during our interaction—it felt like I had annoyed or interrupted her while she was doing a task, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. This was very different from the positive experiences we’ve had here in the past. Even the kids noticed it.

I’m sharing this because it felt so out of character for this place. I hope it was just an off day, as we’ve really enjoyed coming here and would love to continue supporting the business.“

“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😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Always a great experience here, no matter how many people are trying to get ice cream. Stopped by for a couple of cones and we were not disappointed! Fresh, flavorful ice cream...just wish they had more deals/specials. Well done Bruster's!“

“Janelle Stelson's comment on her Instagram post brought me here to find out more about the store she visited. Although my last 'real' ice cream indulgence occurred years ago due to following physicians orders, I wholeheartedly appreciate the smiles others get in tasting their scoops of happiness.

Most importantly, I appreciated even the comment that the owner wrote about trying to 'do the right thing' consistently as a business catering to customers. For that, you earned my ? vote for integrity.

Now, hopefully, other adults will follow suit and do the same, regardless of political affiliation. Honesty still matters, folks.“

“I would like to personally write a review on Evan, one of the best employees I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. Evan is a spectacular worker and is always so friendly. He cracks me and my husband up always! He has a positive attitude and he is a hard worker. We always enjoy getting some ice cream during shopping and he makes the experience ever so much better. Fantastic job, DQ! Love it and love the employees“

“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 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! 🍪“

“I really enjoy the Louise drive location (close to my work!!) They always have super delicious coffees every month and I love a local shop! I also really love the community aspect I see in their social media, it's part of what keeps me coming back over and over again! I also adore the little bits of history on specialty flavors and how you guys created them. Keep up the good work and the drool worthy pictures on your socails!!“

“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!“
