the outside of a restaurant

A very cute little store in Harpers Ferry! The ice cream is overpriced but good. The service is okay--not particularly warm, but that's fine. After a long and arduous hike, a milkshake was the perfect sweet treat! Sadly they do not do root beer floats, but you can order both separately.

Visited this stand because there seemed to be a lot of people buying ice cream here. Since My family visited Harpers Ferry during Labor Day, there were LOTS OF PEOPLE looking for ice cream too. The service was pretty slow, not going to lie. The girl taking orders was writing down orders, and another girl was taking care of the ice cream. Even when writing down the orders, they still managed to overlook my order of two ice creams. I'm sure it was an accident with the amount of people ordering, but a little uncomfortable as the girls were bustling back there, and the flow of traffic and other people waiting was getting a bit much.... I had to tell them they forgot my order when people after me were getting their ice creams already. By the time I got back to my family with our ice cream, mine was already more than halfway done :/ Ice cream-wise, it was good! It's turkey hill ice cream after all! I got the single mint chocolate chip with a waffle cone, and I got my parents a single vanilla and single dutch chocolate in a cup. I enjoyed the mint chocolate chip because it's my favorite ice cream always! My parents really liked the dutch chocolate! Just overall, service could've been wayyy better.

This is the worst ran ice cream shop that I have ever seen. It's really unbelievable. The 2 girls working today appeared to be under the influence of something and working EXTREMELY slow. We waited 35 minutes for an ice cream cone, we were the second person in line! It was 15 minutes AFTER we ordered for a single cone. They're averaging 10-15 minutes per order, which is completely insane for an ice cream shop. I have no idea what his owner is doing but they are losing thousands of dollars daily with these two working. Visited on 9/27

Not the best place for ice cream and definitely not the worst--just what we needed post-tubing! I ordered cotton candy ice cream (yes, I am a grown adult, sort of), however, I didn't love that there were chocolate bits in it. I liked their sundae options as well, they were very tempting.

Location, Decor & Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food & Drink: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Location, Decor, Ambiance: There are no seats here as you simply order up at the window. But there are plenty of benches around the area or further down the street so if you want rest you'll have to search for something on your own. There's not much to the decor. They have colorful handwritten menus and boards posted outside. If it's a warm day there's probably going to be a slight line but it moves pretty fast! Service: The service is great and really fast. We ordered cones but did ask for two cups afterwards and they gladly gave it to us. Food & Drink: I tried both their Butter Pecan and their Black Raspberry and both were delicious! I like the Black Raspberry a little more though. Price: It was $4/single scoop cone. For how big the ice cream scoop is that's definitely worth the price! No complaints there.

Single scoop of double dunker (coffee ice cream with Oreo and cookie dough YUMMM)

A super cute ice cream spot in the center of historic Harpers Ferry! A couple of friends and I stopped by here after a long hot day of tubing down the Potomac, and I was very pleased with the ice cream options they had. I got the double dunker single scoop- which was a GENEROUS serving of coffee ice cream with Oreo and cookie dough in it. It was truly one of the best flavors I've had since it combined everything I like!! I give this place 4 stars because some of the flavors had run out, and it didn't necessarily have the most options that it could have. But I was a very happy camper with my choice

Your tourist trap ice cream stand. Hordes of people crowd around. You will pay more than you should. But oh why not? It's a pretty day and the kids are happy. The service here is great and the folks working the counter are so patient and easygoing. They will let you sample whatever you want. I love that they serve Turkey Hill ice cream but it melted instantly. Uh oh. We aren't even in the 70 degree weather yet. Expect to pay $5 for a cone. They take card.

Solid ice cream, good portion size and service, reasonable cost. I got the Cake Batter (from Hershey's Ice Cream) and liked my ice cream.

S.L.O.W. service. Seriously we had to wait a long time. Were they back there churning it by hand?

Had a great experience in this cute little coffee shop! Much more than coffee: ice cream, breakfast…read moreand lunch sandwiches, and baked goods. There are also some crafty and locally-themed gift items for sale. I had a coffee and a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. The sandwich was excellent and the coffee was very flavorful and distinct, not typical restaurant big bulk coffee. The service was superb and fun - Chloe, Chelle, and Kayla were so friendly!

My experience here was quite memorable! I'm already thinking of coming here again when I return…read more Upon entering, menus were visible and there was plenty of space to stand in line comfortably! We were able to decide what to order before we made it to the counter. This is a popular place. What looked like a long line moved quickly. The cashier was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered a few breakfast sandwiches and a few beverages! Our directions were to stand aside for our beverages and then we could wait elsewhere, even outside on the patio for our food order. We were given a pager. The logistics of their system worked quite smoothly. Our chai tea latte and iced vanilla latte with cinnamon were on point! And our breakfast sandwiches (egg and cheese on sourdough & ham, egg, and cheese on a croissant) were freshly prepared and delicious! Yum! The menu is diverse and there's a dog-friendly patio where tables have umbrellas. This is a special place and you should definitely stop by when in Harper's Ferry.

I love the idea of this store! This store is called the "Nation's Only Historic Candy Store" & is…read moreowned by Susan Benjamin. She is a renowned candy historian. After entering, we received a warm welcome and began perusing the candies and treats. They were organized by time period and some interesting information was posted nearby and/or on the individual item. There were also gift sets. Some of the items were quite dusty and seemed as if they had been there for some time. A lot of the items were things that can be purchased in Cracker Barrel or in other old-timey candy stores elsewhere. They offer modern candy as well, but overall, I was underwhelmed. I was quite surprised to see historic candies so full of artificial dyes. That was an eye opener. I was kind of surprised at the signage throughout the store. The signs seemed basic when considered all the endorsements that the store has. Maybe the signs were made to look less modern. I didn't end up purchasing anything but was glad to visit.

I bookmarked this shop when I saw their entry on Atlas Obscura. Unlike many of the other ice cream…read moreand candy shops in Harpers Ferry (which were doing tremendous business on this hot afternoon), this one is focused on more historic treats. The candy of old. Part museum and part sweet shop, they have displays showing the candies through the ages, from native American hickory bark to 1900 toys and food items behind glass. It was tough to limit our purchase as we saw so many "must have" items. In the end, we got our bill down to under $30 and just got four different things including some chocolate covered almonds for me (vacation food!) and both ginger and licorice for Mrs. K. Note that True Treats Candy is not handicapped accessible. The entrance is a somewhat steep set of stairs. They might have a rear entrance, probably just ask.
