“My husband and I were on a small getaway and discovered this treasure. I am an ice cream lover and must tell you that this is hands down the BEST ice cream I ever had. My husband profoundly agrees! He wanted to go again before we left but it wasn’t possible. We’re already trying to plan another trip down just to go to Fox Meadows. Also, the staff was so friendly. The you g woman who waited on us was extremely friendly and provided us samples to try. Since it was our first visit we were also given a free beverage each! We 💯 percent recommend!!!!!”

“Penny's was such a fantastic addition to our wedding day. It is one of the things I was really excited about and they delivered on quality and service. The ice cream is delicious and the cones are huge. We kept it as a surprise and everyone was so excited and lined up for the truck when it arrived. All of our guests gave really positive feedback about the whole experience. I highly recommend having them be a part of your big day!”

“Delicious ice cream! Varied menu options, pleasant atmosphere. My husband and I both got smalls but wished we’d gotten regulars because they’re tasty. We plan to come back again very soon. The only reason it’s a 4/5 is because we ended up waiting 10 minutes to get our order taken. Seemingly only 3 people on staff running both the creamery and the coffee shop.”

“What a cute little ice cream shop! The girls working were so lovely & patient with our 3 year old son who couldn't make up his mind. Then they came around and handed it to him directly. We were so pleased with the flavors we chose, the atmosphere and the nice tables outside to sit. Absolutely lovely place for a sweet treat! Can't wait to come back.”

“Our kids really enjoyed the playground and interacting with the animals. They didn't want to stop playing to get ice cream. Kids could play for an hour or more if it's not too busy. They have a porta potty to use outside. They also benches and picnic tables to sit on outside. They have different photos opportunities for silly pictures. They also have many different options for ice cream and treats.”

“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.”

“Stopped in to pick up assorted boxes of chocolates for gifts. It smells deliciously of choclate when you enter. Nice young man working the counter. I tried the sea salt caramel while waiting and it was excellent. They also have a great espresso dark chocolate bar. Prices are more than fair for the quality. The shop has a vintage feel and some lovely old things & photos to look at while you wait. Note: The photos here are from their old location on Water St. There is no ice cream at this location that I saw.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Pretzel Hut! We were able to enjoy dining in one of their igloos and our grandchildren were delighted as well. The Hut Smashburger got rave reviews and as always, the cheesesteak was a hit. Seeing the baby camel and the other animals was an extra treat. Nice job Pretzel Hut on making a winter visit to your restaurant such a pleasant experience.”

Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
