HERSHEY/HARRIBURG, PA BANANA SPLIT SPOT! Get Yo' Creamie on HERE! With Friendly's disappearing from the Downtown Hershey Scene, where do you go for ice cream these days?!? You figure there'd be something in Chocolate Town USA that would blow your mind, but... surprisingly, not really. To get your creamie cravings satisfied, Thee Spot is 3 B! Located on Derry St. in between downtown Harrisburg and downtown Hershey! Since the early 2000s, once I learned the lay of the land, 3 B has been my favorite, during their open months! Yelp directions are on point, and note, It is not in any strip mall, this spot is a converted humble abode into an Ice Cream Haven! Dedicated parking space and street parking also. Lots of spaced out benches to enjoy your goods in the sun. Staff is patient, friendly & helpful and definitely gives the most generous scoops of any creamery in Chocolate Town! Oh yeah, Let's EAT! BANANA SPLIT: Biggest size Split in the region! Its Ice Cream Tray is big, scoops are big, toppings are generous... that's the way it was back in early 2000s and it still holds true today, 2026!!! Total bang for your buck. Their ice cream sources these days are local vendors Gallagher's & Lieby's. My scoops for today's Split was CHOCOLATE ALMOND, MooseTracks, and STRAWBERRY! Each one chunky with additives, flavors were delightful, and toppings were generous! As always, I Loved it! Still as good as 20 years ago! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! During their open months, 3 B is truly the best spot for ice cream in Chocolate Town & PA's Capital! Enjoy! read more

Great soft serve ice cream. Love the seasonal blueberry sundaes. Big variety of hand scooped flavors to pick from also.

Had some of the best I've cream ice had in a while at this place however I also had pretty lackluster service from my cashier. Of course it was just mine, as all of the others seemed friendly and attentive to everyone else's needs, I just happen to get the one that either hates the world or hates her job. That was not hurting the stars I'm going to give since the ice cream was that good. The graham cracker crunch, the cashew raspberry swirl and the caramel apple are all beautifully crafted ice creams that I will forever use as my bar for top notch ice cream. I will come back here every time I'm in this area and enjoy the diet killing bliss that is 3 B ice cream, I'll just make sure I go to a different cashier next time. Cheers! read more

3 B Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

3B's Has 4 locations 2 in Harrisburg 1 in Dauphin & 1 in Duncannon we just go for the Ice Cream but some locations do serve food not sure if they have eat in facilities but I did notice people getting Subs to go at the Derry T Location! There is almost always a line at every location but the service is fast and efficient. It's a drive up at all locations so it's like the old time Ice Cream places some have outside seating at picnic tables! What better way to enjoy a warm evening! read more

Nice selection of ice cream flavors and ice cream treats for sale. Large portions! Delicious!

Took half a baseball team for a sweet treat after a long day of baseball. Huge portions and delicious ice cream.

Graham Cracker Crunch ice cream was delicious! Got "1" scoop waffle cone. It was huge. Glad I listened to the gentleman at the counter and skipped a second scoop. From watching what others were ordering 3 B's doesn't skimp on portion sizes. Hit the spot on another record hot day. read more

The serving size is decent and is definitely generous for the money, but it is not the greatest.service is good. Got a Soft serve cone (picture) and a butter pecan x caramel pretzel (I think that's what it's called) sundae read more

Nothing wrong with this place. Maybe not my top 5 but in my top 10z portions are ridiculous and the ice cream is very tasty .

Ice cream was okay. Got the soft serve in a cone. When I received it it was runny had to put it in a cup to eat it. Added sprinkles. Very messy! Service was ok. Felt like the soft serve shldnt have been served messy. But it's ice cream I know it melts. read more

Large assortment of ice cream flavors. When I ordered my Sundae I had the option of hand packed or soft serve ice cream. I choose the soft serve and my sundae was very good. I wish they had inside seating. The outside seating is nice but sometimes I get up by mosquitoes. read more

Delicious and large portions of soft serve as well as a myriad of amazing scoop ice cream flavors. Reasonable prices for how expensive things are nowadays. read more

The thing that you need to know about 3B's ice cream--is that they serve turkey hill space cream. BUT It is only exclusive flavors (for the most part) that you can't buy in stores! One of those flavors being cotton candy, which is to DIE FOR! It's a little expensive if you compare the price of a cone to a gallon of ice cream! Still totally worth it! The staff is always friendly but parking always sucks! A great spot to sit and talk or to bring your puppies for a treat or maybe even your kids! read more

3 B Ice Cream - Cotton Candy is the best! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Like ice cream? If you try 3B's, you'll life their ice cream. It's soooooo good. They have a great selection of different flavors and some rotate on and off the menu. You're sure to find something you like and enjoy it you will! Prices are fair and portions are HUGE!!! A single dip can also be 2 flavors, which is really more like a double-dip. If the line is long outside, you can also order inside. There's usually enough seating inside and outside on the deck for you to enjoy your cone, shake, or sundae. Speaking of shakes and sundaes, I've never tried either but I will have to in the future. I love this place and you will too!!! read more

I looooooove ice cream so when I discovered 3B a long time ago I fell in love. Their flavors are so good and the price for their sizes are super reasonable. I've brought my friends here who haven't been here before and they've all liked it too. My favorite flavor is graham slam but the last time I came I found another favorite flavor which is the lemon blueberry crunch. But flavors are soo good, I totally recommend it to anyone who doesn't like super sweet flavored ice cream. I'll always come to 3B whenever I want good ice cream. read more

3 B Ice Cream - Small Graham Slam & Lemon Blueberry Crunch on a Waffle Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This little shop was just what I was looking for! It has many delicious hand dipped flavors at this location, where you can walk in or order from a side window. If you are looking for a good chocolate peanut butter with large pieces of peanut butter, this is the place to go! The other good flavors my family and I enjoyed today were chocolate chip cookie dough and lemon blueberry churn here. We will be back again! read more

Everyone loves them some 3 B's. Cotton Candy and chocolate marshmallow are the family favorite! Love that we have 3 locations near us so easy to get our fix. We have moved from large to quart size, waiting for the gallon option to be offered. read more

Get the Mocha Cookie. One of the best flavors of ice cream we've ever had. My favorite flavor at the Penn State creamery is espresso fudge pie, but the problem is that they never have it! So this is the closest thing I've ever found to that, and it may be even better. It reminds me of the Tonight Dough from Ben and Jerry's, my other favorite. It'll be a struggle to get through the last few bites because the servings are so generous but it'll all be worth it. Very quaint and cute interior. We will be coming back in the summer to sit on the patio. An added bonus is that you're never confused by their flavors because, unlike any other ice cream place I've ever been to, they actually give descriptions of what makes up some of their more original flavors. You won't have to keep asking the server "what's in the _____?" read more

3 B Ice Cream has multiple shops. I'm only familiar with the one on Linglestown and Colonial Roads. The service there is excellent as is their ice cream. Outside picnic benches are available for buyers. The teenagers who work there are fast and efficient. Please put a generous tip in their tip jars because that's a big part of their salary. read more

No frills ice cream, lots of variety and options. I got a single with Peaches N Cream & Strawberry Cheesecake ($4.10 total and tipped $1). Sampled tons of flavors thanks to the staff there. I was surprised by the generous samples so thank you! I was not a fan of the Strawberry Cheesecake which I did not sample. It was too heavy on the artificial strawberry syrup that overwhelm by ice cream. I'd definitely come back here. They also have a window out front to order from. read more

Live laugh love this ice cream!! The best fresh ice cream I've ever tasted. So lovely the birthday ice cream is the best ever

Finally a break from Froyo I got to enjoy real think full of fat and sugar ice cream, and it was GOOD! The had a great selection which drove me crazy so I sampled the sticky bun (too cinnamony) the teaberry (too pepperminty) and got the almond joy which was pretty good as a kids sundae whoch was pretty big for $3 and I got all the toopping I wanted on it so I went all out and got strawberrys, peanut butter, chocolate, peanuts, marshmellow cream and whipped cream. It was more than enough to share, my son got a kids scoop of graham slam which was also awesome. the people working are very nice and patient, the seating outside is nice, in all a great stop after dinner! read more

This place is amazing. This is everything a summer ice cream place should be. We were in town for two nights and went back to back.

I live down the block from 3Bs and the ice cream is great l. Especially in this summer heat. It's the best thing for a hot summers day.

Love this place & all the people working there. Meatball sub is every bit as good as any Italian restaurant. Good work by employees even during pandemic! read more

I give five stars. They make delicious ice cream and sandwiches. You will not be disappointed. Great fast service. Budget friendly, many fan favorites to choose from with the ice cream flavors over 20 flavors to choose from. I highly recommend! read more

If you're looking to take the family out for ice cream, this is not the place. 3B simply serves Turkey Hill ice cream. You're being price-gouged when you can go to Turkey Hill and buy a half gallon for less than a cone at 3B. There are numerous real ice cream shoppes locally. Your choice. read more

When rating ice cream joints I am a tad biased. Any place that has Birthday Cake ice cream, or any variation (3b's Party Cake) of cake and butter cream frosting mashed up into creamy goodness automatically gets 3 stars. 3b's get's 4 stars because they have exceptional ice cream and unique flavors.... ...but they don't get 5 stars because their prices are sorta steep. I will be back when I can justify a $5 milkshake. read more

Great spot to "cool off" on a hot summer day!!! The line moves well and prices are great!! I highly recommend 3B's!!!

When you ask for one scoop, you're really getting more like two scoops! My "small" cone was huge! It was actually way too big for me so I ended up throwing some of the ice cream away, sadly. I got the raspberry truffle, which was vanilla ice cream perfectly swirled with raspberry flavoring and a touch of chocolates filled with raspberry. I thought it would be a nice blend of fruity and earthy, but I felt it didn't have enough chocolate. In my huge cone, I might have gotten three chocolate pieces: bummer. However, I still very much enjoyed my ice cream. The service here was fast once I ordered, but getting someone to greet me wasn't quite as easy. The young workers were engaged in some non-work related conversation that was uninterruptible. Overall, decent ice cream and huge portions. You can eat/order inside or outside which is a definite plus. read more

3 B Ice Cream - Raspberry truffle (one scoop) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

After a covered dish meal at my Mom's Church and a visit to My Dad and Grandma at the assisted living community my wife suggested a stop for ice cream. I mentioned 3 B since a coworker brought some rum raisin in to work and I enjoyed it. I had tried 3 B many years ago and loved the apple pie Ice Cream. We pulled up and could see the flavors posted at the to-go window. I grabbed a cone of Chocolate almond and Chocolate Marshmallow for the Mrs. and I got a dish of pumpkin. The servings are large in size and the prices are reasonable compared to national chains. I really enjoyed the flavor and quality of Ice Cream here - I recommend 3 B if you like Ice Cream in a variety of flavor and with great taste. read more

I have actually been going to 3Bs for quite some time. I have been to both of their locations but this one is the closest to my house and happens to have an inside sitting area along with a deck. They do take card and have more than 10+ flavors of ice cream. Parking is super limited here (so carpool. The other location has more parking space but no place to sit. Win some lose some right?) and we tend to go at night which seems to be when everyone else gets ice cream. I wish I could tell you which flavor to pick or what their specialty is in terms of ice cream ...but ALL OF IT IS GOOD. Their ice cream is fresh tasting (none of that frost-bitten crap). Their banana splits are good. And they always seem have a feature new flavor every 1-2 months or so. I would note their sizes are not normal so you are getting a bang for your buck. Their "small" is like 2-3 scoops. So if you want ice cream but don't want too much, I suggest getting the kid size which is 1 scoop. Their larges are HUGE and they don't do cones for them because they really load you up. You're also allowed to ask for samples if you're wondering. On the inside they have more of the descriptions of what's in the ice cream rather than the order window. Honestly the only ice cream place worth going on this side of the river and the FRESHEST. And no I don't have pics because I'm busy eating my ice cream before it melts in the sun here - duh. read more

I have been coming to 3Bs for years and its pretty much a summer staple. They have yummy sundaes or you can simply order scoops of your favorite flavors in a dish or a cone. They also have milkshakes. Sometimes they have seasonal things like right now they have Blueberry Sundaes. I love the variety of flavors and its one of the only places I can find my teaberry. SO GOOD!!! They have children's size to large but the children's size is PLENTY for me. Staff is friendly and efficient. Tip them well because they work hard! read more

Don't bother getting ice cream anywhere else. Go here. You deserve it. They don't skimp on sizes, reasonably priced and they let you mix flavors! read more
