I was here a few times when it was Fat Lenny's and I happened to be next door and was surprised to…read moresee it open. And so I treated myself to some rolled ice cream! The price is fair and the ice cream is pretty darn good. I quite enjoy it and will have to return there soon for another. I'm hankering for some Oreo Cookies & Ice Cream and assume they have this. They make the rolled ice cream in front of you and have a large selection of toppings. They also sell some food there which I don't believe happened when it was Fat Lenny's. If you want some solid ice cream in Erie then hit up Mad Millz.

The Straw Hat is a small, local ice cream shop near downtown North East. It features Perry's ice…read morecream as well as Penn State ice cream from the Berkey Creamery. See the attached pics. The small scoops are huge so be sure you are hungry enough to eat a medium or more. They also have soft serve ice cream as well as a plethora of milk shakes and sundaes. I had the Grasshopper Pie hand-dipped come. DELICIOUS! There is something for everyone here so c'mon down and check it out. It's what old time ice cream times is all about.

Cut to the chase: great ice cream, nasty service. We were there yesterday afternoon and my husband…read moreand I were so put off that we decided a review was in order so that the owners might know. When we got there, there were only 2 other people getting ice cream (not busy). The girl at the order window (tall with heavy black eyeliner in "wings") neither greeted us, nor thanked us, nor even could manage the slightest smile. She was one of the most unpleasant counter staff we've ever encountered. The other girl there who handed us our ice cream wasn't much better. We both looked at each other like "What the heck?" Then we laughed at the tip jar. I don't think this is the experience Straw Hat owners want for their customers.

They also have normal bucket icecream you can dig into and stack up the scoops.The sitting area is huge you can sit down and play on the swings and just the kids that a sugared up to the gills to burn it off and sack out in the car on the drive home. Next door is Miniature Golf that you can really play a really nice course which is owned by the ice cream people. Think about it, they load you up with ice cream and sugar and then you see the golf and get up and spend more money. Its an excellent business plan . Well done.

We stopped at the sweet aunt on my birthday to get some cupcakes, and they did not disappoint! The…read moreshop has limited hours, but the "vault" is like a vending machine for different treats of theirs including macaroons, cupcakes, cake pops, cheesecake on a stick, and even some gluten free goods and is always open and restocked daily! (Dangerous that it's next door to my gym, haha!) the shop is also decorated very cute, in a nice area, and I think their branding is adorable! We just got the assorted cupcakes to get a range of different options, and they were amazing! I think my favorite was the vanilla cookie dough cupcake, but it was so hard to pick - I really liked them all, and that's saying a lot as I'm not too big on sweets like this! They were so satisfying. One of my favorite things about icing on the lake is the businesses relationship and communication with the community and their customers, if you have facebook, definitely check out their Facebook page! They have their own page for the "vault" where regularly ask for feedback - what new treats people would like to see added to the vending machine, what flavors they'd prefer, etc.

I was so bummed when the actual storefront closed, but I will say the sweet vault which is filled…read morewith their treats is a decent substitute and a unique experience in Erie. The prices are a bit steep, but quality of items definitely makes it worth it. The actual interface could use some tweaking. Which I'm surprised hasn't been updated and they've been open for a while now. It feels glitchy and any descriptions are lacking. Their fb page is usually updated, but it would be nice to see it on the order screen vs having to also look online. The items come out cold and it does say to let them come to room temp for best flavor which is true. The difference is worth the wait.

Both hard and soft served ice cream are available. Orders are consistently delicious, especially the dole whip whose flavors are rotated. Try strawberry dole whip with chocolate crackle.

There are also plenty of picnic tables available. I'll be back soon!
