    Peanut Butter Curl is a dream come true
    Chris H.

    Another delicious ice cream stop at the Sweet Shoppe. Customers were lined up to the entrance, but the service was fast and friendly. 1 person manning the register and 3 or 4 people taking orders and scooping that lovely dairy dessert.

    Stroopie Ice Cream with Housemade Waffle Cone

    Cream Therapy Amazing little bakery/creamery that is infamous for their Stroopies, which are basically stroop waffles. If you've never had one before, they're amazing. They sell them on their website if you're curious.. Anyways, long story short we were all hankering for some iced creams, and this place fit the bill. Great service, fresh homemade ice creams, and all at family-friendly prices. Pro Tip: Great brick wall enclosed outdoor space, so get your goodies and enjoy it out there.

    Nice little shoppe full of candy, ice cream and Stroopies a local favorite you enjoy with tea or coffee. Great service!

    That said, Ma'am, you might prefer your stroopies melted and in crumbs, but I don't. I like to eat the food the way I bought it.

    I have already mentioned what happened. Their manager then emailed me and asked me what was wrong. I told her that the pasty was melted and she told me that I shouldn't put it on the bottom of my bag I didn't.

    Such an adorable store! So many candies. Stroopies and ice cream flavors to choose from! We came about 30 minutes prior to closing after dinner which was so nice since they stay open later than some other sweet shops. There's enough seating on the side for a few tables and it looked like they had a hidden outdoor option in the back! Will def come back to explore! The line was pretty long on a Saturday night but moved at a good pace. You can tell it's a local and tourist fave for sure.

    Delicious caramel stroop waffle espresso ice cream! I wanted to buy all of the things, but I decided on just ice cream and it was worth it!

    I looked up on Yelp: ice cream and this place came up and did Not disappoint. It's an adorable sweets shop in town with super delicious ice cream. In my party we got vanilla, mint chocolate chip and my fave chocolate peanut butter. All creamy and delicious. Short line, pleasant staff. Highly recommend!!

    Nick C.

    One of the best ice cream spots in the area. Great selection of rotating flavors with the option to pick up some stroop waffles while you're there. Back patio is a great spot to enjoy your dessert!

    Allison L.

    Cute quintessential sweet shop in Lancaster. Ice cream, candies and stroopies. Lovely service and generous scoops at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

    This is the back entrance with parking lot
    Doug B.

    Ice cream, stroopwafels, cookies, and more! This place has all the sweets one could ask for. We went here with our family from Ocean City MD and our nephew Alex loved it! Lots of good flavors of ice cream in a fresh waffle cone or cup, and sprinkles if you want them. The stroopies are all dipped in different types of chocolate and some are stacked up. Crazy good. Parking is a little challenging, but they have a back entrance off a small parking lot that many don't know about. We will be back! Try it you'll like it!

    Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is a historic pretzel bakery that opened in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in…read more1931. It was founded by baker William Lichty and his grandfather William Hammond. At the height of the Great Depression, Lichty had an idea to open his own pretzel bakery. He enlisted the help of Hammond: his grandfather and next-door-neighbor. Hammond had worked as a pretzel baker in the 1800s and brought with him an excellent recipe for sourdough pretzels. They set up shop in their adjoining garages, where the pretzels were rolled by hand and baked in a brick oven. Other family members soon came on board to assist in the operation. Lichty's daughter and son-in-law, Carol and Tom Nicklaus, took over the business in the 1970s. Today it is run by their son and daughter Brian Nicklaus and Karen Achtermann. Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is the oldest continuously family-operated handmade pretzel bakery in the United States. Still operating in the same location, and still rolling pretzels by hand, Hammond's bakes 1,500 pounds of pretzels on a daily basis. My family and I recently visited Hammond's Pretzel Bakery while we were traveling through Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. The area may be known for its rich Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but it's also known for its rich pretzel history and production. It just so happens that pretzels are my favorite snack! The bakery has a small retail shop for customers to buy pretzel products directly. It smelled amazing when we walked in. We also enjoyed watching the freshly-baked pretzels coming out on the conveyor belt. Hammond's produces a large variety of pretzel snacks: the most popular are their classic old-fashioned sourdough pretzels which come packaged in an iconic five pound orange-and-green can. We decided to stock up on multiple flavor varieties to snack on while we were on the road, including: "Buffalo Ranch", "Dill Pickle", "Garlic Herb", "Cinnamon Sugar", and "Chocolate Covered Clusters". They were all delicious! We don't get to Pennsylvania often, but I think it's safe to say that we'll be ordering more pretzel products from Hammond's online store in the future!

    My Brother and I stopped by here on our way from York to Philadelphia. What a cool spot!…read more The shop in front is pretty tiny, but has enough room for a few folks to mingle around. The pretzels from the oven come out right there in the gift shop on the conveyor belt. They even gave us a fresh pretzel off the line. So delicious! I bought about $20.00 worth of pretzels for family and friends back home in AZ/CA. The 2 ladies in the shop were very kind and helpful. They even gave us the tip to look in the 3 back windows of the building on the way out. We did, and we saw about 10 people hand rolling pretzels. YES....they hand roll each (big) pretzel. What attention to detail! Simply amazing. Must stop if you are back in Central PA.
