20 Best Ice Cream Shops near Harrisburg

“Love their ice cream! One small complaint though. Need to break up your brownies for your avalanches better 😂 got a brownie avalanche today and it was all ice cream and one giant chunk of brownie at the bottom 😋 won’t stop us from supporting our local ice cream shop though! 💕“

“The service at the Grand Opening was amazing. The staff was friendly and well trained. Welcome to the Burg!!“

“Here’s a polished, natural-sounding Google review you can post:

⸻

I had a surprisingly great experience at Crumbl this morning! The two young women and the young man working were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their customer service really stood out—they were friendly, upbeat, and made the whole visit enjoyable.

It’s not something I usually say about a cookie shop, but this was genuinely a great experience from start to finish. The team created such a positive atmosphere, and it definitely made me want to come back.

Highly recommend stopping in—not just for the cookies, but for the excellent service as well!“

“I asked if they could make two cakes for a wedding and let's just say they were amazing“

“Arielle was so professional. This place is always great with kids. Its teally not a bad price either when you compare.

We also enjoy how clean the business is. I have little kids so it matters when they are crawling everywhere.

Thanks B& G!!!!!❤💙💝“

“My girlfriend and I don't go here nearly enough! The place is always busy, and rightfully so. The ice cream treats are fantastic and the staff is very friendly and cheerful which makes for a very nice atmosphere when combined with family and friends sitting outside and enjoying good food. The first time we went here Michelle ordered a large strawberry cone and I a cup of ice cream. Her ice cream cone was so tall I didn't think she would get it through the window. I was so sad that I had to help her eat some. :) Recently I branched out from ice cream and tried a burger and fries. Delicious! Keep up the good work, Milkyway. We love you!“

“Great picnic basket meals and ice cream! 🍦“

“I absolutely love stopping by this place whenever I am in the area. It has such a classic, nostalgic feel, and the ice cream is consistently delicious and creamy. It’s the perfect spot to cool down on a warm day, and the service is always friendly and efficient. Definitely a must-visit if you are craving a sweet treat.“

“I've never had this place and I put one picture up because these bad boy cookies didn't make it out of the parking lot I instantaneously fell in love with this place and you know it's a great review when it's one run-on sentence yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes“

“This was such a pleasant experience! My large family and I all decided to get some icecream. The lady who served us, she was blonde with very nice lashes (Alaina I believe) was so accommodating and sweet. Through the numerous samples and orders she kept a bright smile and made friendly conversation! Hope she’s here next time I come back!! Give her a raise we need more service like this!!“

“I called tonight to complain about not getting the extra cheese I paid for and felt awful soon after... here I am complaining about extra cheese while all of the crew is working hard though covid and doing the best they can and sometimes overwhelmed! So I am sorry. You guys keep doing what your doing. I again apologize for calling in! The food is amazing without extra cheese and the service is always amazing!!“

“I always shake my head when I drive by...I was car 19 and at the window in 19 minutes...thats not bad! Thats actually a pretty good clip, remember the fast food business is a multi billion dollar industry predominantly run by teenagers...so hats off to this particular franchise...you're doing great!!!“

“We met Dave at the farmers market, great personality and great customer service!! Delicious cookies�. We had chocolate chip and gluten free one, yummy, yummy, yummy!! I can’t wait to eat them again!!!“

“Came to try the chili, ill say very delicious! Had to reorder my fries due to way to much salt on them. The manager than says loudly to make more because someone (meaning me) had complained about them. Well i did not think it would be such an issue but i guess it was.You can see in my picture the salt was literally falling off. Not sure if i will come back or not. If i do than maybe order with no salt next time. Resturant was very clean :)“

“They’re quick and friendly! We love a good avalanche and hot fudge sundae at the Sycamore Milkyway!“

“Consistently Exceptional Service at Nekter – Thanks to Alex! For the past six years, I've visited Nekter five days a week, making it more than just a juice bar for me—it's a part of my daily routine. Today, I feel compelled to write this review, not just because of Nekter's consistently delicious offerings, but to highlight an extraordinary employee who makes every visit unforgettable—Alex. From the moment you meet Alex, it's clear he's not your average employee. His infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm are evident from the get-go. Alex's approach to service is unmatched; he truly makes you feel like a friend, not just a customer. He remembers my name, asks about my day, and our conversations never feel rushed or routine. It's rare to encounter someone who exudes such natural charisma and joy in their work. Alex’s exceptional customer service has profoundly impacted my experience at Nekter. His attention to detail and consistent friendliness enhance the already welcoming atmosphere of the store. Whether it's his quick service, insightful recommendations, or just a cheerful greeting, Alex consistently goes above and beyond. Nekter itself deserves praise for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, but it's employees like Alex who breathe life into this ethos. His dedication is a significant reason why I keep coming back and why each visit is as enjoyable as the last. For anyone looking for not just a great juice or smoothie but a genuinely delightful service experience, head to Nekter and see Alex. You’ll understand why it’s more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a highlight of the day, thanks to people like him.“

“I came here to get ice cream with some friends. The food was great but what really stood out to me was the people. Every employee we came across was so helpful and kind. One guy came to our table and took our trays away for us and made sure everything was great and he was very kind. Amazing place!“

“Super good frozen yogurt and a good variety of ingredients. I think the pricing is pretty fair. I'd rather pay 7 dollars for a bowl of fro-yo than a venti coffee. The staff don't interact too much, but that's understandable as it is completely self serve“

“Hands down, this is one of the best cold stone sites I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Great customer service!

The website was having an issue with delivery and i wasn’t able to come in and pick it up since I’m putting an order in from a different state, i called in and the staff members were eager to help and they really took care of me. The manager that I spoke with willingly took the order and personally offered to deliver it herself.

The cake came in great and they followed the instructions that came with it. The service is definitely an 11/10!“

“This is the cutest little business and the smoothies + bowls are to die for! We went when it wasn’t busy and the owner came out and chatted with us; he was SO kind and interesting! The smoothies were so delicious and so were the smoothie bowls. We will definitely be back!“
