Bought a coupon too. Says closed for covid on site but will open. Now its something else. When December? I feel scammed too.

This place is an absolute scam. I purchased a “Buy $30 for $15” coupon/certificate that is worthless because this place is never open. It says temporarily closed now but it didn’t 8 months ago when I bought two of these coupons. They are never open! Don’t waste your time driving by, trust me, they’re closed. They are still selling these gift certificates to steal your money that you can’t spend.

A visit to Eckels is like taking a step back in time, and that's GOOD. The food is homemade, tastes yummy, and is very reasonably prices. Delicious Hershey's ice cream is also available in old soda fountain dishes. There is also the option to buy candy out of jars (think the old fashioned penny candy). The owners and staff are kind, helpful and genuine. So much fun. A true delight and my kids love it too!

After moving to the Cumberland Valley from Detroit last December, my wife and I have been traveling the Cumberland Valley Ice Cream Trail and Eckels was next on the list. This is one of the best ones yet!We didn't know until we got there that they serve meals as well as ice cream. But we just came from lunch, so we stuck with their ice cream. We started by having a very pleasant conversation with the person working there (an Army vet!). Then we placed our order and had a seat. A brief moment later, our sundaes were brought to us. I had a chocolate sundae and it was excellent!This is a neat little place with very good ice cream. We will certainly be coming back here!

A wonderful and old fashioned Ice Cream Parlor, with a food menu in addition to their Ice Cream-if you love ice cream, check this place out-so awesome!

We ate around the corner and the wife wanted ice cream, so we stopped here. As soon as you walk in you feel like you went back in time. Hershey's ice cream scouped into bowls or cones. Had great service.
Great prices and inimitable atmosphere. I really hope this place stays open long into the future, it would be a real loss if it ever had to close it’s doors.

This building and the people involved with it are truly amazing. If you like old buildings and antiques, you really need to find a way to come check this place out sometime and have some good quality ice cream while you're there. Nicest people around, who clearly care a great deal about keeping the building restored in a way that would make some museums envious. I am sure my friends and I will never forget stopping by.

Eckels is definitely...quirky. I was hoping for some homemade ice cream, but it was just a moderate selection of Hershey's. Nothing special food-wise. It's a family owned business, and they're nice, but they're very talkative - if you prefer to just come, eat, and leave, it's probably not your kind of place. The decor is a weird, cluttered mash-up of Christmas (in February), Coke, and Girl Interrupted. Besides that it's got an old-timey kind of feel. Maybe it's just not for me, but I don't plan on going back.
I drive 30 minutes. and is close at 8
