The Cup never disappoints. Delicious, creamy ice cream and lots of flavors to choose from. They even have Italian ice options if your in the mood for that. The staff at this location is always friendly. Seating available outside and a couple seats inside. This location is smaller than the original but still offers a lot of options.

Lots of options, and huge portions for reasonable price. The ice cream is very creamy and there are a ton of different options. I thought the small would be easy to finish but it was a lot more than expected. For locally made ice cream this is delicious. Would definitely recommend. Friendly staff, arcade machines if you're bored, not a ton but decent amount of seating. read more

Stopped at The Cup while I was passing by in Bethlehem and got a scoop of black raspberry. The ice cream was really creamy, and the portion was bigger than I expected for the price. The staff was friendly, and there was some seating outside, which was nice. Parking can be a little tricky since it is mostly street parking, but I would definitely stop again. read more

Retrospective update: The Cup is really, really good compared to the awful quality of Lehigh's campus food which was catered by Sodexo when I was an undergraduate. This is an offshoot of the Bethlehem Dairy Store, which I never patronized. I grew up in northeast Pennsylvania where we had real dairies, but I always appreciate good ice cream, and plenty people at Lehigh did, too. read more

Such a wonderful local spot! The Cup has that perfect small-town charm -- friendly staff, quick service, and consistently delicious ice cream and coffee options. Everything tastes fresh and high-quality, and the portions are generous. It's a great place to stop on a warm day or after exploring downtown Bethlehem. The outdoor seating gives it a relaxed, community feel, and the menu has something for everyone -- from classic cones to sundaes and shakes. Simply put, The Cup never disappoints. A must-visit if you're in Bethlehem and want a sweet treat done right. read more

MANAGEMENT is SUPER RUDE!!!!

The lady runs up to her and says super LOUD "EXCUSE ME YOU CAN NOT WALK THROUGH THE BACK" my mom startled and says sorry. Lady walked off. I looked at the lady serving us asking who was. I was told that is management and I asked her don't you think that was rude their was a better way of saying that. Her being sweet even agreed and apologized for her. DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK.

After my kids and I were throwing some balls down the old lanes (bowling), we had a hankering for some ice cream. I knew there was a Cup on the Southside somewhere and thanks to Yelp we found my way there. If you've been to their main store, then you pretty much know what to expect here. Homemade ice cream and treats. This was no exception here. They had many hard ice cream flavors to choose from but I didn't really look at the selection because we all decided on soft serve. The guy working was super nice and we were there in the early afternoon so it wasn't crowded. Prices are reasonable. For 2 kids sizes and 1 small it was a little over $8. They have seating inside or if it's nice out you can sit outside in the courtyard. Plenty of tables and chairs and benches to enjoy. This is a cute little area. Prepare for on street meter parking. Pack some quarters! read more

There isn't too much to say about this ice cream shop. I had a hankering for a malted milkshake today and I wasn't going to stop until I got one! I'm glad I came here. For $5.60, I got a regular size malted milkshake made with the Cookie Monster ice cream. I believe this ice cream flavor is actually vanilla ice cream with Oreo pieces and cookie dough pieces, too. I never had a blue milkshake before, and I felt kind of happy and childlike when I got it. And the milkshake itself was just so incredibly good. I was in milkshake heaven for a bit. The malt is just perfect for the Cookie Monster flavor, too. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting The Cup while I was in Bethlehem, PA for a weekend retreat with a church group. We walked from Moravian College (I was told it was a short stroll, not so much the case) and then used the walk back to enjoy our ice cream and burn those extra calories we'd just gained. There were plenty of options of ice creams and the place was PACKED. It was a summer weeknight evening and the line was out the door. We moved through it quickly and even though they were slammed the gentleman who was helping me was completely patient as I looked through the variety of flavors and asked for samples. Gold star to him! I finally decided on a double scoop of peach and it was delicious! Kudos on the staffing, kudos on the ice cream taste/texture/deliciousness, and kudos on obviously being a favorite place for the local community. When I'm back in town I will certainly visit again. read more

My friend Tiffany and I came here on October 7th, 2016. We had been meaning to visit for a while, but before then we just couldn't seem to get over there. I love the old fashioned environment, they even play 60's music! Since I'm a 60's nut, that scored a point with me. I tried to snap a few pictures during our visit, but it was hard to do without looking weird. So the few pics I did get, I took them very discreetly. I ordered my ice cream in a cup, and since I was doing the "low carb" thing at the time, I got 2 of their sugar free options (Butter Pecan and Moose tracks). My friend Tiffany got their.... Um... Can someone please help me out? I forgot what its called. But it's a pastry, filled with apple... So yeah, that's what she got, lol. We ate our ice cream on the benches outside, because it was a little crowded inside (early evening, just got dark). It was really good, and I would certainly come back. Its just refreshing to see a place like this, so nostalgic in a "jazz everything up" age. The portions are decent and so is the price. I would like to try their regular ice cream on a cone though, because... Well who wouldn't? lol. But even the sugar free was good. Give them a try, looks like it's a good place to bring a first date, or the kids. read more

I have been here over the summer and the kids that waited on us were really friendly. If you asked me to review this place a year ago when I lived on campus square I would have given it 2 stars. I don't know if the one "rude girl" still works there but it was always such a struggle to get a chocolate shake made without an eye roll. Once a friend of mine who is a very sweet, calm person got in argument with "rude girl" about her attitude problem. Perhaps she's still lingering around giving people dirty looks but I haven't seen her. I might have to update this. Besides "rude girl" they have awesome milkshakes and great ice cream when there is no attitude. They have a nice patio area in the square where you can sit and enjoy the weather or take a stroll around Lehigh's beautiful campus. read more

I used to frequent their other location when I was a student at Lehigh before this one existed and I have very fond memories of it. As I am in town with my boyfriend and want to show him around, we decided to take advantage of the 84 degree weather we're having today and go get a scoop each. I must say I was disappointed - mainly by the service. The girl serving the ice cream had a poor attitude and really ruined the experience for all of us. The old location allowed up to 2 flavors in a small cup (1 very large scoop) and she very rudely told me no when I asked for 2 flavors here. The one flavor I got, chocolate almond wasn't that good but the coffee fudge my friend got was tasty and the chocolate chip my boyfriend got was YUM...so as far as the ice cream, I give it 4 stars but the service needs a LOT of help... read more

They always do a sundae in a kid size, we frequent here very often at least once a month.. we came a few days ago and all of a sudden they said they can't do kids sundaes. Trying to tell me that basically I'm crazy making it up or something. I had to order everything for my kids sundae on the side and I'm glad that I still got a kid size because he didn't even finish the kid size. Absolutely insane it makes me want to write a bad review because I really wasn't treated with good customer satisfaction. I order numerous other things as well so it's not like I was just ordering one kid sundae. It's gonna make me not really wanna come back honestly. Usually the sundaes are really good and I did go because I wanted to try the strawberry waffle, which was not good. The waffle was extremely soggy so I definitely would not recommend ordering that. We will stick to our other fave local ice spots.

Also appreciated the kind staff allowing us to trying probably too many flavors and the cute ambiance.

Can't decide on what flavor you like the most? Order a flight. Besides the regular flavors look for the monthly specials- especially when local fruit comes in to season.

The ice cream was great and a bunch of flavors. All of the ones I tried were good. Also the price. I got the split for a kng (6 scoop banana split) for 9.95. I was expecting small little scoops and it was HUGE. Wayyyy more ice cream than I wanted but was great over a couple days. They asked what toppings I wanted on it and it was assembled perfectly.

I mean, I am unable to get a single scoop for that price I'm DC - so automatically I am in love! But also, the flavor selection was really good - I love any place with a good fruit flavor and they had a white chocolate raspberry that I practically inhaled. Move over soft serve - hand dipped is the only way to go!

Hunting for ice cream shops whenever we're away on a little trip has become a fun little part of…read moreour lives' treats and pleasures. The ice cream shop is located on the corner of a little block in Wind Gap. We stayed close by in Bangor, and didn't have a chance to check out the Wind Gap area too much. It's such a vintage, cute little shop; spacious with enough tables and even one booth in the back I believe. There were so many flavors to choose from! I was sold on a small (kids') cup - vanilla bean with peanut butter chunks. The ice cream was incredibly delicious and smooth. I could tell it was freshly made and it was such a good kittle treat for me. My husband followed suit with the size, differing in flavor - he originally wanted Death By Chocolate, but it was out of stock and the staff said they weren't close to making it in the back, unfortunately. He got a cherry flavored scoop and he said it was actually the best ice cream he had ever had. Bold claim, I'll say! I pondered upon the prices briefly afterwards. It was $6 and change for the 2 scoops. Though small, I think the price was very fair and it made me think that in and around NYC, it would probably cost close to double. This is a small critique and very trivial, but I didn't like either the cups or the spoons they use. The cups were styrofoam (no branding of any kind) and the plastic spoons were weirdly..... deep? (not sure if that makes sense, fully; for example, when they gave a sample, it was huge sample on one of those little spoons that are almost flat and very easy to scoop.) The staff were so incredibly nice and friendly, they even gave out Odin a free pup cup! He loved his just had much as we did ours. We'll definitely come back when in the Poconos again! 10/10 recommend!

It just opened up in 2024, but the great ratings are well deserved as they offer a plethora of ice cream and frozen treat options, sure to satisfy any craving. They also had multiple dairy free and sugar free options, including sorbet, and many flavors for both hard and soft serve ice cream. While I didn't get a chance to try them, the ice cream sandwiches looked amazing. Service from Jason (I believe he's the owner) was extremely friendly as he allowed us to try multiple samples of ice cream, including cookies & cream, orange pineapple, banana, and a couple others I'm forgetting. I went with the toasted coconut ice cream as he advised it was mixed in-house with a generous amount of toasted coconut. It was a great recommendation, as the ice cream was high quality and delicious with more than ample toasted coconut mixed throughout, and probably one of the best coconut ice creams I've had in years. Prices were fairly reasonable and the interiors were bright and welcoming with some pictures colored by kids in the wall, with plenty of indoor seating. I'd definitely be back, and would happily recommend Sundaes on Broadway to others visiting the Pocono Mountains.
