9 Best Ice Cream Shops in Mechanicsburg

“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😊“

“When to Rakestraw's while visiting family nearby. What a great spot!
Friendly staff and crowd. A few tables outside and PLENTY of wall to sit and enjoy some delicious ice cream. We had a variety of flavors, everyone enjoyed theirs. I highly recommend the Cinnamon Churro seasonal flavor, unique and so good!!
We'll be back on future visits for sure.“

“Their chocolate ice is exceptional. I know it's one of the most basic flavors but it still tasted damn good. My partner enjoyed their chocolate ice cream sandwich. It was hard as a brick and had a bit of freezer burn, but he still ate it so whatever lol“

“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 don’t like to leave bad reviews. Especially because my customer server from Nate was amazing however, while I was waiting the other shift lead I think Cailie? Was training a young kid on how to make cookie sandwiches. He was clearly brand new and she couldn’t have been more annoyed by his lack of knowledge. I heard her say things like “haven’t you make this before” or “well you have 2 cookies so what do you think”

Laugh and roll her eyes and at one moment look at me like I was gonna chime in with her public humiliation of this kid. He was so embarrassed. With my background in restaurants and training this is an individual who shouldn’t be training at all. I hope this young man doesn’t quit because of her poor leadership.

Hats off to Nate tho for his professionalism. As I was leaving, after cailie ran off in the back, the trainee asked for Nate’s help and he politely went to help him. Nate needs a raise!! What a great kid!!“

“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!“

“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 the creations and the way they mix the ice cream right in front of you.

Today I took four young teens to the cake decorating workshop. They had so much fun! The staff were very attentive and so friendly. They offered all the toppings the girls wanted. They followed up to see what more we wanted.I hope they do this again because I have other kids who want to do this now.“

“Abso-freakin-lutely AMAZING 🤩!“
