18 Best Ice Cream Shops near Palmerton

“We do a lot of traveling and like to sample ice cream on our different trips. By far Claude’s Creamery has the best ice cream! It’s a very friendly atmosphere, the staff is always courteous, (a real rarity today) and is very inexpensive for a family. It’s always the bright spot on our trips to Palmerton! 5-Stars“

“The best around! Their coffee milk is my favorite and made by some nice guy named Jacob.“

“It’s the BEST place for breakfast locally! Fun and attentive staff, great family run business! And super yummy! Pierogi fries- To. Die. For!“

“Do you have a trusted manager who is very reliable and dependable? Hurry up and start your trade with Mrs Craig Vanessa she is the best among all. I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto. All I did was to make the first deposit and I made my withdrawal yesterday. I'm so happy and excited please and please hurry up and start earning money for the future now. I'm going to invest for my children. For more information, visit her Facebook Page: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“I’m not local to this area, but stopped in today while visiting a relative who recommended it. There are so many interesting flavors, it was hard to choose! I ended up getting Peanut Butter Crunch Explosion in a waffle cone. I’m normally not a PB ice cream fan, but this flavor was perfect and even tops my all time universal favorite, Moose Tracks. The waffle cone was delicious and you could tell it was homemade. I also picked up some Cake Crunch topping from their selection of toppings and premade ice cream items. They had a lot to choose from! I’m unsure of the name of the young lady that helped me, but she was very kind, patient, and pleasant to interact with. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“2026!!! Spring is almost here, and Rita's is back!!! Super friendly service, always friendly counter service during the day. She has pleasant conversation , generously offers samples and has suggestions for ordering. Delicious ice, custard and add-ins selection. Great location and parking, limited outdoor seating. Very clean counter and serving area with several clean trashcans. We got a peanut butter mudslide and shamrock blendini with chocolate custard and Oreos. Will be returning, often.“

“My hubby and I decided to take our family for ice cream, (4 adults and 4 grandbabies) after our visit to the Philly Zoo. The associates working there today (7/29/24 @ 4:45pm) were absolutely wonderful. They were patient and kind, took everyone's order perfectly. We would definitely recommend to everyone and my family will be repeat customers. Thank you.“

“Very cute and clean especially the outside table area“

“Just Chill Creamery is easily one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is always fresh, portions are generous, and the hot fudge sundae is amazing every time. I’ll be honest I only come here when Gabby is working because her service is exceptional. She’s always friendly, upbeat, and makes the experience even better. Highly recommend the hot fudge sundae.“

“Tried for the first time yesterday. Long line, worth the wait! Was delicious. Will be back“

“Great old fashion ice cream shop! They also had old favorite candy's: Shoe strings, candy necklaces, candy buttons, Whatchamacallit, Pop rocks, Razzles, Rock candy, etc. Brought me back to my childhood 😊“

“This is an awesome Rita's!!! The employees are very attentive and make sure that you are receiving your custard, just the way you want!!!“

“Love that there is so many flavors and a rotating selection also!“

“I recently visited the town of Jim Thorpe with a good friend of mine. It happened to be my birthday so we stopped by Woods Ice Cream. They got me a peanut butter sundae. I've gotta say it's prob one of the best and most delicious sundae's I've ever had in my life. And I'm not even exaggerating. Typing this out just made me remember the taste and my mouth just watered lol. And I can't forget to mention the service was great as well. I highly recommend stopping by this cute little town and getting yourself some ice cream from there.“

“Great candy variety, from gummies to honey sticks to chocolate to razzles. The interior is rather small, so even if there's just one other person in there, you will be cramped. There isn't a good layout for viewing all of the candy without being in somebody else's way. But, there is a back with prepackaged bags, a front with commerical candy, a side with gummies, and the main area with chocolate - so if you squeeze around, you can make it work.

My only gripe really is the $10 minimum. Their candy is actually super cheap - about $4 for a pound. That is more than enough candy for me - so in order to not pay an additional $.75 surcharge, I'd have to buy pounds of candy or buy a souvenir. My other small issue is when buying candy, if you mix multiple candies that are different prices, they charge you the most expensive pricing per pound. I suppose it makes sense? But if that's the case, they should separate them by default.

I enjoy stopping in here when I can, and will continue to do so!“

“Great food!!!“

“We had a great afternoon at Rolling Hills! We started with the batting cages, played a round of mini golf, and finished up with ice cream. Very friendly and helpful staff.“

“This building is such a fun stop when you’re walking around Jim Thorpe!

We LOVED this coffee shop—such a fun, unique little spot in Jim Thorpe!

The vibe alone is worth stopping in. The chandeliers, the decor, the whole aesthetic is just so cute and different from your typical coffee place. It feels cozy, a little whimsical, and honestly just makes you want to hang out and take it all in.

Everything we had was really good, and it was the perfect place to stop, relax, and recharge while walking around town.

This ended up being one of our favorite stops of the trip. If you’re in Jim Thorpe, you definitely need to check this place out! ☕✨💛“
