27 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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Hmmmmm…I thought the ice cream was one of the most unique things I’ve seen here. They pour the cream on a freezer plate and smash and spread it into a frozen thin sheet and the cut and roll it into rolls so they can place it in a cup. Really cool to watch and even better to eat!!! Lastnight, I had Cookie Dough and tonight I had Cookies and Cream! Both excellent choices to finish the night after an evening of live music! Thank You Intercourse, PA.“

“So delicious soft serve 🍦“

“If creamy is your thing, then, yah, they've got you. Chocolate and vanilla options. More options for Italian ice. Lots of outdoor seating. A little bit pricy, and chocolate flavor was a bit weak. Overall not bad. Customer service was good.“

“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!“

“Quite possibly the best soft pretzel I’ve ever had! Nice and buttery! The cheeseburger wasn’t great and the cheese was cold, but for the price I’m not mad. Also, that’s on me for getting a burger from a barbecue place lol I’m sure the chicken was great. They only took 1 order at a time which made the wait longer than expected. There was a nice little picnic area on wood chips right next to it, which was nice.“

“I just visited Lapp Valley Farm and I'm still dreaming about the delicious ice cream! There were many flavors to choose from, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The shop itself was clean and welcoming, with a fun atmosphere. The kids love the indoor play area.

If you're an ice cream lover like me, Lapp Valley Farm is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors and support this local business. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Cupcakes were served at my daughter's wedding. They were delicious. They came and set up exactly like we wanted. It was perfect and seemless.“

“Of course I came for the ice cream! They have burgers and fries and other foods, but I was there for the ice cream and they didn't disappoint. The restaurant seating area was clean and well stocked with the extras needed for a meal. Next time I'll order a meal, but on this visit it was all about their delicious ice cream.“

“We visited for breakfast this morning. Scrambled eggs, rye toast, raisin toast, bacon, creamed beef, potatoes, and baked oatmeal with apples & raisins. Everything was delicious & every plate/bowl was emptied. We'll be visiting again on our next trip! Highly recommend!“

“Central Market Flowers has an option to include a deluxe box of candies with the flowers; my mother loves them every time.She raves about the variety, rich ingredients and delicious flavors. They make extra special occasions even more meaningful.“

“Stopped by today on my way through town for the first time and ordered a waffle cone with Cherry Ice Cream, 2 scoops. I swear those were the biggest scoops I've ever seen in my life and the Ice Cream was DELICIOUS!“

“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.“

“What an amazing staff!!! Took our daughter here for lunch on her 11th birthday (she wore a crown). As soon as they noticed a few minutes later the staff came out wished her a happy bday and wrote out a card with special messages along with sharing their tips and gifted coupons! We were totally surprised it put a tear in my eye. Not only that the food was fantastic and the restrooms were immaculate!! Keep up the superb work it we could we would rate 10 stars across the board!!!! Must visit again!! Thank you everyone“

“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.“
