Typically I never leave reviews but today I think I just have to. This mom & pop ice cream store is…read moreexceptional in both its service and it's ice cream itself. To begin, the service at this place is exceptional. Typically they have a set of ice cream flavors that they serve for a day. However today I asked if they had a flavor that they weren't serving for that day. I'm just visiting from another state and just thought it wasn't on the menu. (100% my bad) However even though they didn't offer it, they were able to get it for me from their back freezer. This process of preparing it for me took time since it wasn't pre-prepared. But this goes to show you that this place priorities customers over comfort. Additionally, their ice cream is exceptional. It is all homemade and the flavor and texture of the ice cream is perfect. Would come again. If you are visiting Gettysburg this place is 100% worth coming to

Our group of six had a great time here! The building has a historic charm that made the wait (about…read more15 minutes) more enjoyable, and the outdoor line even had a fun game to keep us entertained. We passed another ice cream shop to try this one after a tour guide mentioned it was among the best in the country according to a recent news article. While my two-scoop cone definitely hit the spot on a warm August afternoon, my daughter pointed out that the article's author might not have sampled some of the fantastic dairy stores and ice cream shops we have back home in the Midwest. I'd have to agree--I've had better in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Still, this is a charming stop with tasty treats and a fun vibe--worth a visit if you're in the area!

Upon arrival there were only 2 vehicles in the parking lot, likely driven by the 2 young employees, however a couple arrived several minutes later. I chose a scoop each of Black & White and Fudge, both no sugar added with a small bag of cone fragments and a 20% tip for $14.30. The 2 young women behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. I ate outdoors in the sunlight in contradistinction to summer where I would hide from the scorching sun! It is my understanding that later this summer they will be moving their location north several hundredfeet on the same side of the road. The building construction is well underway, so this ought be nice. They have an assortment of flavors with typically 2 no sugar added choices, seemingly typical of ice cream shops, some of which have no options for those who need to be mindful. Check ot out!
