13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Lancaster

“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.“

“delicious homemade ice cream with unique flavors! a must try“

“Great ice cream and you can pet baby cows!!“

“Splits & Giggles is one of our favorite things about living in Lancaster. Delicious ice cream, pleasant and efficient staff, and the lovely outdoor patio. Owner Dave recently brought the ice cream cart to our gathering of family and friends and everyone raved. Thank you Dave and staff!“

“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!“

“The staff is absolutely fantastic and they even remembered my unique order!!! We love coming here!!!“

“WER JUST LOVE ALL THEIR ICEES“

“First and foremost, our waitress Sharon C was extremely friendly and she noticed that i was having a diabetic emergency and put a rush on my food. Food was great as always!! Definitely coming back to this Friendly's to see Sharon C again.“

“Me and my wife walked in to River Street Sweets today for the first time and it was like Christmas for a little kid, and I was the little kid. Lol! We dealt with Nicole and a younger lady that was there as well, but we didn’t get her name. Nicole, was extremely professional and very kind and courteous. We spent about $60 there but all we really wanted was two Candy Apples 🍎 but that went by the wayside and we landed up buying a lot more. The young lady gave us a free sample and I was hooked. We then landed up buying from the barrels and the counter, and then, on top of all that, Nicole, then told us we were getting 1/2 lb. of Pralines for free because of the purchase of the counter candies. And like a kid, I got super excited, because those were the candies that the young lady hooked me with earlier. Nicole and the other employee there were great! We were floored by Nicole and the GREAT service that we received. A HUGE THANK YOU, to Nicole and that young lady. I apologize for not getting the young lady’s name, but I will be sure to get it next time. Kudos to the owners and management for hiring such wonderful people.

Thank you!
Mark & Abby :-)“

“We had lunch here before and after visiting the attached Amish farm museum. It was so good we ate twice. Food is delicious, well priced and served with a smile. We had both the chicken and rib dinner, burger, hot dog, root beer, lemonade, and pretzels. Everything was exceptional. We will be back.“

“Had wonderful coffee and a delicious wrap! Would highly recommend 🌻🌻🌻“
