There are yummy ice cream flavors. My partner enjoyed his mint chocolate chips with added brownie pieces while I enjoyed Saylor's Swirl with added peanut butter cups. The pretzels and crab dip were delicious and made well. The ingredients are fresh and are quality made. Plus, we love that there are pup cups that the pups can enjoy with the outdoor seating. I highly recommend this local business and cannot wait to come back to try the deep-fried cake!

I am working my way through all the flavors. I had Dad Bod last weekend and the chocolate was very good! Had it topped with house made peanut butter fudge. Also, had The Parlor Burger.

Some places are worth building an entire adventure around. Penn State Berkey Creamery is one of…read morethem. As fate would have it, my Adventure Buddy and I found ourselves in State College on National Ice Cream Day, and there was absolutely no way I was leaving town without finally visiting the home of my favorite ice cream flavor ever...Monkey Business (banana ice cream, peanut butter swirl, chocolate chips). I'd fallen in love with Monkey Business last summer after trying it at an ice cream shop close to my house, but somehow I'd never actually made it to the Creamery itself. Correcting that oversight immediately became part of the day's adventure plan! We arrived around 12:30 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, fully expecting National Ice Cream Day to mean complete chaos. Surprisingly, it wasn't. Busy? Absolutely. But the line moved quickly, everyone seemed to know exactly what they were doing and the whole operation ran like a well-oiled ice cream machine. Then I looked around. Cheese. Sticky buns. Chocolate milk. Bagels. Ice cream. Ice cream. More ice cream. At one point I turned to my Adventure Buddy and said..."I could live here." Ordering couldn't have been easier. First, you tell the cashier whether you're getting a cone, bowl or shake and pay. Then you move down to the ice cream counter, where you pick your flavor. Finally...you wait for your number to be called so someone can hand you what can only be described as an absurdly generous serving of happiness. While I waited, I sampled the Grilled Stickies flavor. Big mistake! It was phenomenal! For approximately fifteen seconds, I seriously considered abandoning my beloved Monkey Business and trying something new. Fortunately...I came to my senses. Monkey Business and I have history together. When my number was called, the gentleman behind the counter handed me a bowl that was significantly larger than I expected. And yes...I audibly squealed. Again. Right there in the middle of the Creamery. I looked at him and said, "You absolutely made my day!" Because he had. We found a table outside on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather, performed a few completely necessary happy food dances and proceeded to enjoy every glorious bite of what is still, without question, my favorite ice cream flavor on Earth. For only $6. On National Ice Cream Day. Honestly, I don't know how that day could've gotten any better. PRO TIP: Don't skip the sample spoon! There are so many incredible flavors that it's worth trying something new before committing. Just be warned...you may accidentally discover another favorite! I also learned that Berkey Creamery ships ice cream to the lower 48 states. This information feels...dangerous. Living only about an hour and a half away, I probably don't need to have Monkey Business shipped directly to my house. But...I may have to test the process someday. You know...in the name of science! If you're anywhere near State College, do yourself a favor and make the stop. Whether you're a Penn State fan, an ice cream enthusiast or just someone who appreciates an exceptionally well-run small operation, Berkey Creamery absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. WE ARE...ICE CREAM HEAVEN!

This is probably the most…read moreiconic ice cream shop in all of Pennsylvania, and I attach a good amount of teenage memories to it. That said, while there are some really wonderful features of their ice cream, particularly the texture of small chocolate chunks they embed, it's not actually the greatest ice cream in existence. The chocolate is too milky, the mint too green and artificial, etc. It might make more sense to think of it as exemplary commercial rather than distinctly artisinal?

Well, here I am at work waiting to get my trailer loaded, so I decided, why not use Uber Eats to…read moreget myself some ice cream? Luckily, the ice cream was from a local place. I was so excited to get this ice cream in Pennsylvania. My mouth started watering as if someone took a delicious peach pumpkin pie and set it right in front of my face--where I could smell all the peachy pumpkin and the crust, and feel the oozing heat coming right off of it. So that's the reason why I decided to get peach ice cream. Well, anyway, I ate two bites of this ice cream, and I suddenly got a headache. Now, this was no normal headache. I can definitely tell this was from the food now because this has happened to me a few times before. I know 100% it's the food. I don't recommend this ice cream based on the flavor, the feel, and of course, the headache that it gave me like a nagging wife--that's why I don't have one--or a husband who doesn't do anything, just complains all day, and watches football on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays. But I hope my review helps you pick where to get your ice cream next. If you like my reviews, check out my YouTube channel @brandenleebutler
