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😊“

“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 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!!“

“Visited Cold Stone Creamery in Mechanicsburg recently and had a really good experience. The ice cream was fresh, creamy, and the mix-ins were blended perfectly. Staff was friendly and patient while taking the order, and the place had a nice atmosphere. Loved the variety of flavors and toppings available. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving desserts or ice cream with friends and family. Will be visiting again soon!“

“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 🤩!“
