25 Best Ice Cream Shops near New Providence

“Incredible selection and super-friendly standholders. My parents used to buy strawberries there on our way down to Port Deposit back in the 60's, and the quality and prices are just as reasonable. I bought 6 large tomatoes there for $3--unbelievable compared with other market stands.“

“Probably the best ice cream I have ever had.“

“I’ve visited the creamery at the farm and in their store. This is the best ice cream I’ve eaten!! I also had a pastry for breakfast. I think was called a rolled pastry or similar. It has several layers of ham and cheese inside a really tasty buttery pastry that looks like a French croissant. It was delicious!!“

“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!“

“We wandered up Orange Street and found this small spot for an afternoon treat. We had cookies and cream (duh) and peach cobbler. Half the fun is watching the ice cream being made…strangely satisfying and kind of soothing. Great flavors with real ingredients.“

“So delicious soft serve 🍦“

“Justine Dennis McPhee and I recently worked together when I was purchasing a home in the Lancaster area. I had two previous bad experiences with real estate agents and definitely apprehensive. However I knew from the first conversation Justine and I had that everything was going to be fine this time around. Justine thoroughly knows the Lancaster area and housing market - thoroughly! She is able to provide excellent advice and insights on different areas to her clients based on their individual home specifications. Justine has been in the local real estate business long enough to know many agents and is always on top of new listings. A unique aspect of the services Justine provides is her ability to look at home showings with an "inspector" eye. Justine has attended so many home inspections in her long career, that she knows exactly what to look for and I was continually amazed how many details Justine was able to draw my attention to - many of which I would have missed entirely. I was always able to be completely honest with Justine and we never hesitated to share our opinions. Her steadfast comment to me was it did not matter if the home search took a day or a year, she wanted me to be absolutely certain and satisfied. This was especially comforting as the buyer housing market had changed considerably and much more competitive which could build anxiety. Justine was always encouraging, counseled patience, and expressed her certainty that my home was out there, we just had to find it - which we did. I felt Justine consistently went above her responsibilities by sharing her vast wealth of knowledge regarding all the many details of home buying. From homeowner insurance, title companies, wire transfers, settlement dates, inspections, home warranty insurance, and local contractors, I used Justine constantly as a valuable information resource. Justine knew the answer to everything, providing options to guide my decisions. I felt so completely taken care of by Justine and had total trust and faith in her ability to make sure I got the home I wanted. Justine would accept nothing less than my happiness and satisfaction. Justine has a very warm and caring personality that translates well into her chosen profession. She always returns phone calls, texts, and emails promptly. Justine exceeded my expectations on a regular basis. With her knowledge and vast experience, I can honestly say she has seen everything and there is nothing she does not know or can't find out. Customer service is of the utmost importance with Justine Dennis McPhee and I recommend her very highly. I will definitely be using her services again.“

“My family loves to get ice cream here! It is a little more pricey so we don't come very often. But when we have, it has been great! The only downfall is because it is such a small shop and the process takes a while, there's often a long wait. If you are willing to wait, the ice cream and the experience is great!“

“Visited twice - had ice cream the first time. Very good. The second time Italian ice - hubby had watermelon and I had peach. Both were delicious- they actually tasted like fresh frozen fruit. Lovely sitting area with beautiful flowers. Wish they had one in our home town.“

“The absolute best place locally to get ice cream. I highly recommend the Blue Goo. We go there weekly. Dog friendly, accessibility friendly. Please note there isn't a bathroom on the property. The outdoor furniture is always clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. We look forward to seeing them each summer season!“

“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.“

“Thank you so much for offering vegan cupcakes! Due to this, my first grade daughter was able to take in a treat to celebrate her birthday! The birthday treats need to be store bought, and it is so hard to find something fun and vegan. The entire class loved the cupcakes! My daughter said "this was the best school birthday yet!"“

“The three of us went for a late lunch and even though we had to wait about 20-25 minutes to get a seat, the staff for the most part were really friendly. One of the waitresses has been there for a long time and is always super friendly to my mom and I. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted wonderful“

“Excellent cakes!! Tracy was very communicative and matched our cake to the reference picture perfectly for my son’s birthday. Will be going here for all of our special occasion cakes moving forward.“

“Good service, got the food quick, had a shuffle board which is awesome to occupy your time. Very clean, even bathroom and everything spacious. Excellent environment and food. Food quality also great. Leave with that feeling you ate but aren’t stuffed and you can’t move lol.“

“Usually I love this place. The day I went, the burger bun was cold and dry, the pretzel had no salt. Ordered thru the app, but couldn't check in when I got there. Had to go up to the door to let staff know I was parked. The drinks, as usual, were great. Love Sonic ice! Wish there was one closer to my house.“
