The most amazing and adorable small cafe hidden on the edge of center city. Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly/caring staff. He was quick and polite, even gave us ideas on what we should get! And the drinks taste just as good as they look! Perfect to cool down on a hot day, will definitely go back!

From Jersey, In PA for the weekend stopped in for coffee.. amazing service and honestly the best coffee I've ever had not even lying. His shirt said a big Papi, that man was so unbelievably kind and sweet and told us where to go and things to do in the area. Next time I'm in Allentown I will be going back. Such a pleasant experience. Definitely stop in if you're in the area you won't be disappointed!!!

The ice cream was so good I FORGOT to take a picture of my flavors.... That never happens. The…read morepeanut butter lover in me was so impressed they had a choco-peanut butter option AND vanilla pb option. Both were fantastic. Went with the vanilla pb which was so fluffy and yummy. Also the coffee was so smooth and creamy. Per usual, the husband got the gluten containing cookie dough and loved it. If we lived locally, we'd be here DAILY. Also appreciated the kind staff allowing us to trying probably too many flavors and the cute ambiance.

We made it inside and waited patiently for our turn to order. Before you knew it, we realized that we were in line for 50 minutes just to get to get two scoops of ice cream. There were six associates behind the counter. Only two were working. The others was goofing off. I wanted to leave, but I also wanted to try this ice cream because I've heard such great things about it I got the rum raisin ice cream because you can't find that particular flavor everywhere. The ice cream itself was a 10 out of 10 for flavor and texture. But my overall experience with The Udder Bar was a 3 for customer service. It shouldn't take almost and hour to get ice cream with 6 people behind the counter. Most likely I will not be returning.

The place was not busy on this Sunday afternoon, but it didn't help that their air conditioning was down on this very hot day. Their refrigeration for all their product was working fine though. Staff was friendly. I had three flavors and various fruit toppings- guava flavor, cookie dough, and I forget the 3rd flavor but I can tell you it was one of the more unusual ones and probably a creamier or lemony leaning flavored one. Maybe something lemony I think. Toppings were mostly a variety of fruit.

I was looking for little sample cups or spoons - I found water cups? My friend saw a container of spoons open on the counter and gave me one. I was about to get a sample when an employee BURSTS out from the back room, immediately gets aggressive with me. It was like I had a weapon or something the way he said "throw the spoon out, RIGHT NOW". He explained that you only get spoons when you pay and that I needed to ask if I wanted a sample, but he also spoke so fast and seemed so angry all I could say was "I'm sorry", "oh ok". I'm an adult and it felt like I was being scolded by a parent lol. And then he storms back into the back room...didn't ask if I had wanted a sample or wanted to purchase anything, just yelled at me and left. So...yeah I didn't buy anything. I'm sure they deal with teens trying to steal stuff all the time so maybe he was just tired, but it was really unnecessary. I definitely dont want to come back now after getting yelled at
