2 ice cream places right next to each other? Tourist confusion! Checked into our tour and our guide said Sunset! He told us they make their ice cream and the other uses Hershey. So we went into Sunset. Awesome Wednesday deal, buy one waffle cone, get one free. My daughter ordered watermelon and I had the chocolate peanut butter. My Cousin tried like 4 flavors and the girls were really friendly and helpful. The watermelon is not as sweet as others which is great! Huge chunks of the peanut butter and chocolate wasnt as dark so i ejoyed it. Overall nice place. read more

Stopped in for a little snack. There are numerous flavors to choose from. My wife had Banana and Chocolate Chip. I had the Black Rasberry. Both tasted really good. We ate inside where the place was cool. There were many folks sitting outside enjoying the warm weather and ice cream. We would highly recommend this ice cream shop for a little taste of heaven. read more

This straightforward ice cream shop sits directly next door to a Kilwin's. I wonder who was here first. The ice cream is good but not great. My dad got his favorite, rum raisin, which he often cannot find. My sister got chocolate in a pretzel cone, which I had never heard of and think is a great idea. I got a hot fudge sundae with chocolate-malt ice cream. With the chopped nuts (skip the whipped cream) this was one of the best sundae combinations that I've ever tasted. Chocolate-malt is an inspired ice cream flavor. Yum. Service and prices satisfactory; location excellent. read more

Came here after the 4th of July during covid-19 and stopped in for some ice cream before my tour. There was only one employee working that I could see and this was on a Monday so there wasn't much business at the time. I noticed that the bathrooms weren't open either, so I'm assuming hand washing was not possible, but they did have a hand sanitizer available at the front door. One of the major things I noticed while the girl was preparing my ice cream cones, she was not wearing any gloves. She used about two napkins to hold the cones, but still, during a pandemic, gloves should be a major requirement while preparing any foods. I just ate the ice cream and threw the cone away in the end. read more

While walking around after having dinner, my husband and I stopped in for some dessert. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us. The portions were generous. Ice cream was creamy and not overwhelmingly sugary. We chose to sit on a bench outside because the weather was very nice and got to enjoy the live band coming from the restaurant across the street. After a long day of exploring, it was a relaxing end to a long day. read more

Had their vanilla ice cream and rebel rocky road. It was amazing. I definitely would come back again

My boyfriend and I were walking around the neighborhood and decided to stop in to get (him) a root beer float. It was empty when we walked in. Cute place and clean. There were two girls working behind the counter, so service was obviously quick. The root beer float was alright. Nothing special, especially for the price. We decided to sit outside, as they had a cute picnic table setup under a shaded area. They had good music playing. Cute place. Anything special? Not really. read more

Cute place ! Lots of flavors and options for sundaes and milkshakes too! Friendly service provided by the woman working there. She was helpful in recommending some things to do around town. read more

My 4 friends and I were wanting ice cream while in Gettysburg. Another parlor is town had a line out the door. The other was advertising vegan ice cream which did not sound appetizing to us, so we tried Sunset. We were not impressed. There was one employee and she was flustered and taking a very long time. I ordered soft serve with peanut butter, but got chocolate. The waffle cone was good but the ice cream melted and dripped all over. I went inside twice to get a bowl, and both times was ignored. read more

It's a pretty typical ice cream parlor. Though with local ice cream shops, I'm accustomed to being offered samples. They didn't appear to do that here (though it could be because it was the 150th anniversary weekend in Gettysburg). Pretty straightforward with your typical sundae options. All the usual flavors with some more interesting ones available as well. Generous portions were given in my two-scoop waffle cone. The ice cream itself is slightly better than store-bought but not super great either. They clearly still use artificial ingredients (like in the strawberry and chocolate chip mint and chocolate) but it is clearly fresher ice cream than just store-bought. It was refreshing on a super hot and humid July afternoon after walking for hours. If it were just a regular stop when I wasn't nearly dying of heat stroke? Meh. read more

Excellent ice cream. They make it at their main location. It was yummy and the server was friendly and helpful. They even have pretzel cones! read more

Ice cream after dinner. A short walk from the Dobbins Tavern down Steinwehr. Local ice cream, lots of delicious flavors. You can sample the ice cream to pick your favorite. Friendly staff. read more

How can you not give the Sunset 5 stars. This is your typical great hometown independent ice cream shop. They have tasty ice cream and huge portions. We have been coming monthly for years and have never had a bad experience. Nothing fancy...simple, honest and satisfying. When my daughter has a bad day....she always says, "Can we go to get ice-cream at sunset?" The staff is always friendly. Nice spot to eat on the side of the building when it is warm. Our favorite ice cream spot in town. If you want a great value and tasty ice cream --- give them a try. read more

They have the best hand dipped ice cream in Gettysburg. My daughter loves their pretzel cones. Their flavored swirled ice cream is the best I've ever eaten. read more

We typically don't splurge for over priced ice cream, but we did today. We picked this place because it looked fun and inviting- it's cute inside too. Service was great and quick. Got a cute bottle of birch beer with a fun Gettysburg label. Ice cream wasn't anything you can't find anywhere else, and the cookie dough was very sparse~mostly just vanilla. Servings were generous though! 16 flavors to choose from. read more

I walked the short distance from the Dobbin House Tavern and ghost tour shop to this uncrowded ice cream shop. I had a root beer float while waiting for the Live or Die walking tour to begin. I was disappointed to find the vanilla ice cream tasteless. I had hoped it would have real vanilla beans in it. It tasted more like Italian ice than ice cream.The staff (lady) who sold me the float was friendly and attentive. read more

Cute little place for ice cream. They have a HUGE selection of flavors. I enjoyed the fruity tang of my sherbet while wifey got cookies n cream that had big ole chunks of oreos inside. I've had better ice cream, but boy on a hot summer day after walking so much it sure was a welcome site. read more

A genuine old fashioned ice cream parlor. Sell Genuine ice cream (taste the real stuff). Located in a turn of century small building. NOT a franchise! Reminded me of the best ice cream places in Maine, Martha's Vineyard, etc. I had the ice cream, spouse had soft serve with twisted flavors; kids had THICK old fashioned milk shakes. Prices & helpings are great. Servers friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit read more

Didn't get a chance to try the ice cream because the person working was so mean, they wouldn't let my 7 month pregnant niece & 4 yr old nephew use the restroom. I will never support this business. read more

Ice cream was good, but the staff was not pleasant. Not the cleanest place either...especially the bathrooms. I will be going next door to Kilwin's from now on. It's a little pricier but the atmosphere and ice cream are better. read more
