Sorry but the ice was sub standard. I ordered peanut butter soft serve and it tasted like vanilla. Did she even add peanut butter? For $10 the ice felt like a child's cup!! Maybe this place needs training for its employees but would not recommend. The ice cream was cold but flavorless. read more

The service was not good. We arrived at 7:56 PM On May 25th. The sign clearly states they are open until 8:00 PM. The people in front of us in line said they were told they were closed but they serviced them anyway. When they received their ice cream at 8:00 PM we stepped up to order. We were denied our order even though we were in line waiting for several minutes. We will just take our business elsewhere to places like The Cup in Bethlehem or The Inside Scoop in Coopersburg. read more

Seriously slow service. It's a walk up serving hot dogs, burgers and ice cream. We waited 15 minutes for two sodas. If you're looking for something like this I highly recommend The Spot in Bethlehem. read more

Cool place, kind of an old school vibe. Great soft serve. The only negative are the damn motorcycles constantly going by.

It's confusing why people leave 1 star reviews over business hours, like maybe you're frustrated, but very sad that you're never going to give them a chance and enjoy their ice cream. Idk how they do it, but they somehow offer 24 flavors of soft-serve! I had a butterscotch soft serve with peanut butter sauce. I loved it! Best cup of ice cream I've ever had read more

The Canalside Cup - Nice outdoor area - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williams Township, Pennsylvania

We randomly stopped here for ice cream a few days ago and were pleasantly surprised to find an extensive menu available as well. While we just stuck to ice cream this time- delicious, especially my oreo sundae - we are planning to go back to get a full meal sometime. Outdoor seating is available. Please note it is cash only. read more

I've been here many times. Good place for some quick ice-cream. However, last week after dinner, we were craving something sweet. Checked online, said open till 9pm. Drove 20 minutes, and got there right at 8:01 with cash in hand. I'm not exaggerating. Lady behind the counter told us that they were closed and couldn't serve us. She said that the 9:00 wasn't until after Memorial Day. The open sign was still on with hours indicating open till 9pm. Very disappointing. read more

The Canalside Cup is about as back in the alley as it gets in terms of a local place that serves up good stuff, has been around for a while yet because of it's low profile not even a lot of locals know that it exists (informal work poll where of the six people I asked about TCC not one had ever heard of the place yet the current owner(s) are in their 11th year). The menu is larger than you would expect with a full menu of hard/soft ice cream, sundaes, drinks, banana splits, toppings/dips and a good sized menu of your cardiologist's favorite fried apps, entrees and platters. Speaking of the menu, I would love to share more details or a link but sadly TCC does not have a website and their FB page does not list their menu so you'll just have to trust me on this one. The few things that keep this place from being five star would little nitpicky stuff like they are cash only, the parking lot/area is small and the bathroom/port-a-john situation is less than ideal. But, on the positive side both times that I was there the customer service was fab as were the menu items that they rendered for us (various soft serve flavors-hot dogs-cheeseburger-sundaes). If you go: Don't forget to bring the greenbacks as TCC is cash only, don't forget that TCC is only open seasonally from March-October (they close for the year this Sunday), ideally you've taken care of your bathroom needs in advance, you have your insulin chaser + your defib paddles at the ready because it's all about the grease and the sugar here but most importantly you enjoy the ride up/down 611 along the canal/river and the unique setting which adds to TCC's rural roadside charm. read more

First off, if anyone says they don't like this place it's because they came here with entirely the wrong expectations. Seating is entirely outdoor and on you to find. Clean up is also on you. This is a genuine gem tucked right away from big roads and crowded streets where you can eat well for $10. A little jewel of 70's era roadside food that'll warm any parent's heart and send the kids crazy for nostalgia. read more

Our favorite ice cream place, but good dinner food too. Be warned though... it's cash only there. Credit cards are not accepted. read more

The Canalside Cup - Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williams Township, Pennsylvania

First time visitor...did not enjoy the flavor I chose, asked if possible to get something else. Counter girl asked older lady/manager I guess and the woman refused to do anything about it. I understand it's a business, but I could get a scoop of something else? Very poor customer service, will not be spending anymore of my hard earned dollars here again :( To clarify I ordered the cappuccino blast ice cream. Nowhere did it say that there was toffee or fudge in it... That's why I did not like it I don't like toffee it was gross. Had the signed indicated that there was more than coffee or cappuccino flavored ice cream I would've ordered something different. read more

The best soft serve I've ever had and trust me I've had my fair share. The chicken fingers and burgers are always delicious. It's cash only which is inconvenient sometimes so be prepared when you go. read more

This "Fifties" style country road ice cream haven is so picturesque it hurts. It is a tiny free standing building that harkens to an earlier age when driving the winding road along the Delaware south of Easton, and considerably north of New Hope, was both a joy and a challenge. It would be a perfect place for an antique car show. I stopped for a bite after a long drive. I wasn't in the mood for cold and sweet, so I went with their Cowboy Burger - Onions, BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Cheese, and sat on one of the old picnic benches facing the canal as the early dusk began to take hold of the remains of the day. The meal was fine, if not the best burger ever created. What carried the moment was the environment surrounding The Canalside Cup. Bucolic. Summer dreams. Running water. Early stars. Old folks. Young lovers. Fireflies. Wheeling hawks surfing the air currents. It was a perfect evening catered by an historic cultural phenomenon - the roadside ice cream & grill. Timeless American Pie. read more

Looked up The Canalside Cup last night, drove out there and it was closed! Why does it advertise it is open at 1900 when in fact they are closed. It was a 20 minute+ drive for it to be closed. It's cool if they are not open for the season yet but don't advertise your open when you're clearly not! read more

Great little roadside ice cream and burger shack bumping '50s hits over the speakers. Reminiscent of simpler times. Remember- cash only!

The Canalside Cup is a hidden little gem! We always make a point to visit when in PA from NY. We've never had anything we didn't like and the staff is super friendly! read more

Yes yes and more yes. It is a bit out of the way for us (25 minutes in the car to get ice cream seemed daunting at first) but it was so worth it. My son loves any kind of ice cream so he was happy but as an adult trying to watch my diet while enjoying dessert I was thrilled! They have a "one bite" size sundae that is basically a sample size of any sundae on the menu or your own creation. The sample size is just enough for the taste of dessert and just enough so you don't feel guilty for having indulged! Blasting the oldies, eating ice cream and watching the cars go by was a perfect afternoon date for my son and me. Will definitely be back. read more

Great spot of have ice cream! They never disappoint with their ice cream. I would definitely Italy recommend this place to any ice cream lover. read more

Good old fashioned spot that is cute and good ice cream and shakes, we tried their food and the fried veggies were good gyros were ok but not our fav. Food is good and simple, just not our favorite spot. read more

The desire for ice cream took over and thus the stop. It is a drive up ice cream place with more flavors then you can read. Additionally they had a menu of quick fast food from hot dogs to fish sandwiches. The ice cream was good a nice size. No complaints here. Now time to walk the canal to burn it off read more

I always love going to the Canalside Cup either in the heat of the day or late in the evening for an ice cream. It's a very cute place and the staff is always quick and polite. Highly recommend!! read more

My kids go here a lot for cones and shakes and love it! I tagged along one day and found I could get a coffee flavored soft serve cone! I was surprised by the flavor choices because I have only ever know soft serve to be vanilla, chocolate, or swirl! So give them a try if you are heading north or south on 611, it's worth it!! I just saw they now have Fall flavors Pumpkin and Maple nut in hard and soft serve, so I will have to run up this week for a cone or ! read more

Such great food and value. Kid friendly memories to be made starting April 1, 2019 at 11 the facebook page says. Debbie is awesome! . And the place is always so clean!!! read more

Great selection of ice cream. Very tasty and fresh. Reasonably priced. Could use a little extra help to speed the process of getting your ice cream but all in all its a good little ice cream shop. read more
