Great variety & the staff was so nice. I love that it's open year round, with winter hours usually 4-9 or similar. This visit we true the soft serve pumpkin spice. That's not my favorite as it's not very pumpkin flavored for me but it was good. Love the decor too. Outdoor seating only. But year round you can get some awesome ice cream! Because any time is the right time for ice cream! And the dogs loved their free doggy cups we took back to them!Parking: There's plenty of free parking around the building & the area.Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff, lots of choices, and it's ice cream. Does it get more kid friendly?Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible, level paved ground, staff very accommodating

Not the only place you can get PSU Creamery ice cream in Erie County, but certainly the best. Staff are always kind, appreciative and courteous. Heck, even got a voucher for a free cone by having a Penn State car magnet!

Great ice cream from Penn State with take home pints. A favorite place to go anytime of the year! Now in the Erie food court and on Main Street in North East!

Love this place. Many memories of our dad taking us to it after our little league baseball games 30+ years ago. We always had a deal where if we hit a homerun, dad would buy us a banana split! Was back in town for a brief visit, and the place is still awesome. My wife and I had rootbeer floats, my dad got a milk shake, and our son got a super here ice cream cone. Love how it has changed but still kept so much of its tradition.
