    It's nice to be able to get Creamery ice cream without having to head to University Park. That said, however, this isn't the Creamery. The scoops are on the smaller side, and the number of flavors is limited. (I forgot to count--they had maybe 13 when we visited yesterday?) There are other options, like milkshakes, ice cream sandwiches, and pints to go. The shop is very small, so be prepared to wait outside if there's a line.

    Death by chocolate

    One of the few great things to ever come out of Penn State. Death by chocolate is incredible.

    It's a small space but the quick and friendly staff got us our order promptly. All were wearing masks and enforcing six customers in the store at a time. Got the Death By Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl, although Keeny Beany is a popular choice. The pints ($6.50) come in paper packaging. One nice thing they offer is curbside ordering through their web site, which also tells you what flavors are out of stock.

    This place was awesome! The service was fantastic and the ice cream selection was great as well! Such a perfect quick stop off the highway, would highly recommend!

    Butter Pecan and Mocha Fudge
    Amy H.

    One of the best butter pecan I've had. Aside from the buttery creaminess, it is generously and proportionally loaded with whole pecans. I shared a medium with 2 scoops (butter pecan and mocha fudge) with my husband, then I had to get another scoop of butter pecan myself! Mocha Fudge is truly sensational, it tastes like real coffee and chocolate. We just passed by off of the interstate and we're lucky to find Nittany Scoops!

    So good!  Cookies and cream!

    I had a scoop of the raspberry fudge tort and the alumni swirl and both were delicious. Definitely worth stopping by if in the area.

    Service was excellent. Unique flavors make this a must check it out. The current flavor list could be easier to access.

    Kristy's Whistle Stop - Strawberry ice cream cone with star sprinkles

    Kristy's Whistle Stop

    Kristy's Whistle Stop is a time machine with sprinkles on top…read more The last time I was here? Well...let's just say it was before AOL, dial-up modems, and ICQ chat rooms. Before "the internet" was even a thing for regular folks. Basically, I hadn't been back since dinosaurs roamed the earth (aka 30-ish years ago). And honestly? Not much has changed--and that's exactly what makes it perfect. Picture this: 50's-style décor, a pavilion full of those old-school round concrete tables, and a line of ice cream lovers spilling out the door and halfway into the parking lot. I showed up on the Friday of Labor Day weekend and sure enough--limited parking, crowds everywhere, and people walking around holding ice cream creations so glorious they could've been centerpieces at a wedding. After standing in line (and mentally preparing for glory), I found my holy grail: The Stinson Special. Peanut butter ice cream loaded with Reese's Puffs, Reese's Pieces, peanut butter cups, and a peanut butter swirl. Basically, peanut butter on peanut butter on PEANUT BUTTER. No way was I risking this masterpiece in a cone--two scoops in a bowl, please and thank you. A few minutes later, I heard the call: "STINSON SPECIAL--TWO SCOOPS!" That was my moment. I grabbed my prize, slid into a concrete table under the pavilion, and...oh. my. goodness. It was orgasmic. Every single bite was a peanut butter explosion with different textures and crunches--smooth, swirly, chocolatey, crunchy perfection. Halfway through I had to take an intermission to gather strength before diving back in. Worth every bite. Next time, I'm hunting down the pulled pork sandwich I haven't had since the 90s--if it's even half as good as I remember, I'll be in foodie heaven all over again. Pro tips: - Get there early. - Expect a line (and enjoy the people-watching). - Have a game plan for where you're eating, because the inside is way too crowded for a proper foodgasm. Kristy's Whistle Stop is still doing its thing after all these years...and its thing is absolutely worth the trip.

    Was very busy and hard to find parking, first time here and got the pumpkin whirlwind, it was like…read more50% cheesecake/ graham cracker crumbs and 50% ice cream, it was not blended up well at all so there was a big pocket of dry graham cracker towards the bottom. Personally I would like more ice cream than cheesecake and graham cracker. Also got fried pickles and fries, the fried pickles were good. The fries had no salt on them so they're bland, have to add salt yourself. Service was good, even though it was busy the ice cream and food came out quick.
