Went to Jim Thorpe, PA for their famous autumn scenic train ride, after the tour me and my friends were craving for an ice cream, luckily this ice cream shop was right beside the train station. At first look this ice cream spot seems to be a gas station before turned into an ice cream shop, a very good spot to attract a lot of costumers. There are some picnic tables around where costumers can enjoy their sweet treats. First we scouted their menu which was on their wall, chose an ice cream flavor, then went in line at the window on the right where you can order food or ice cream, after ordering and paying you go to the window on the left to pick up your order. We bought cappuccino ice cream in a cup, butter pecan ice cream on a cone and banana ice cream in a cup with chocolate top shell. What I was able to taste was the cappuccino ice cream, it was creamy, not too sweet, rich, velvety smooth and captures the flavor of coffee and espresso, really delicious and good. They give large portion for the price, value is well below compared to NY prices. Staff was welcoming and very friendly, service was quick and efficient. I have enjoyed our experience in this ice cream shop, it was a refreshing treat and a delightful indulgence. read more

The ice cream is excellent, and they offer an impressive variety of flavors. The service is quick, and they're very friendly. The prices are also amazingly affordable! It's a small place with a couple of benches outside, but in the fall, due to its location, it is gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this place if you are ever in Jim Thorpe, PA. read more

In comparison to other reviews I've read, we liked it here! The dipped ice cream was good and the soft serve was super good. We were there two nights in a row during our weekend stay. The servers were very polite and did a nice job. We sat outside at a table and enjoyed our treats. It would be nice if they had an inside area for bad weather days. read more

I was visiting Jim Thorpe and stopped by Woods for some ice cream. They have mostly soft serve flavors and a handful of 'hard' ice creams. I opted for the soft serve Expresso. It was very sweet and too soft - the coffee flavor was subtle - not worthy of the 'Expresso" label. It's an average ice cream - I'd rather have a Dairy Queen. read more

Wood's Ice Cream - Expresso soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Average, and could not accommodate a minor request for a milk shake made with chocolate ice cream float.

Kids wanted ice cream and we were here so we stopped. Ordering was a little confusing. There was no semblance of a line. We finally saw chalk writing on the ground that said "form line here". So we did and found that we were next. Then a lot of people who had been there before us were annoyed because they did not form line there. So then a line formed there and all was well. The kids just got scoops with sprinkles but I was amazed at the variety of the soft serve flavors. I wasn't hungry or I would have tried something. The prices were reasonable and there are plenty of areas around to have a seat and enjoy the ice cream. read more

Rode up to Jim Thorpe for the beauty of it all. Made a pit stop with my lady and two pups to grab something cool. We got a mango slushie and ice cream which didn't disappoint. I think even less disappointed was our dogs who enjoyed their dog friendly sundae. Good prices and good flavors, we'll definitely be back! read more

Cute little outdoor spot right by the trains. The thing that sold me was the dig Sunday. They had a Sunday just for dogs it had dog bones in it! I was a little confused on the difference between the artic blizzard and the milkshake it didn't explain what it was but I figured it out- so the artic milkshake uses soft serve ice cream as the base and milkshake a Uses milk as the base. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I came to Wood's Ice Cream after a nice hike in the Jim Thorpe area. The line was very long, but moved quick. What added to the long line was the train that runs from Jim Thorpe to Reading or surrounding area. The prices are very fair and the service was very polite. I ordered a small vanilla ice cream dish with sprinkles and the ice cream was very smooth and had a good flavor. Next time I am in Jim Thorpe, I will definitely check out again. read more

My boyfriend and I used to love coming to Woods until recently when I had 2 bad experiences here. A few months ago I recieved a soft serve with a pincher bug in the bottom of it! I had already left and just wanted to write it off as just an off day and didn't say anything. Tonight we go in to get ice cream and the entire counter is absolutely covered flys or gnats!! The workers are swatting them out to the best of their ability but these working conditions are just gross. The lady who gave us our ice cream just left it on the counter without yelling out what it was because she was so terrified of these flies which just let them crawl into our ice cream!!!! This place needs some major changes and shouldn't even be operating in that condition! read more

when I went there this weekend there was beard hairs in my ice cream and the worker with the beard was so slow I would not recommend to go

Good ambiance and flavors. Service flows fast, personnel is nice. The location is also great! read more

Wood's Ice Cream - Pistachio soft serve and vanilla/chocolate hard ice cream. Both on waffle cone. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

It took waaaay too long! Dang. I mean it's soft serve! Sssuuuuppeer sssssllllloooowwwwww service (I thought my son had walked on it took that long) and the ice cream was vveeerryy NOT worth the wait. How not good? He gave it to me to finish. Disappointing. Go to the store. read more

We had soft swirl ice cream, pumpkin and a chocolate vanilla twist. Independently my husband and I came to the conclusion that the base did not taste like it was made of milk or cream, but instead some sort of manufactured, processed substance that left us questioning what we were eating. Would not go back. read more

This would be a one star, but the ice cream is its saving grace. The order/pay/pickup system is the most idiotic I've ever seen, because there isn't one! There were only 3 people behind the counter working at a leisurely pace. For a not very long line, we waited 40 minutes for an ice cream cone. There were maybe 3 groups of people in front of us. On top of this, their espresso machine was "down." The guy also gave water on a jungle-like muggy day, that also contributes toward the extra star. My suggestion to them would be to have separate Windows (they have 3). One or two for ordering and one dedicated to picking up. If they got their ordering system set up intelligently, this would be a delightful stop for delectable treats in a lovely town. read more

Wood's Ice Cream - Cookie dough and dark chocolate - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Conveniently located right at the train tracks in downtown Jim Thorpe, this small ice cream shop has a wide variety of soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, served up any way you'd like: cones, dishes, milkshakes, etc. They have Slush Puppies (Icees) and various other sodas and drinks. Small seating area nearby, but no inside seating. Limited parking right around the property, but dont count on it, especially on the busy weekends. They even have special ice cream related treats for dogs, certainly not something you see at most other ice cream places. read more

Sweet Lord, I was in heaven! The strawberry cheesecake overload was unbelievable. My boyfriend was overwhelmed by the soft serve selection, and the orange cream is defiantly a revisit. For dog owners- the peanut butter dog sundae was a hit for our pooch. Prices were more than reasonable and a great selection. Line was huge, and I was super impressed with how the workers handled the stress and upheaval- customer service was excellent! read more

Wood's Ice Cream - Kevin loved the Peanut butter sundae.. yes, that's a smile! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Disappointed. We were in town for the weekend to do the rail bike and wanted to finish the day with ice cream. I ordered a sundae and informed the lady I couldn't have peanuts because of an allergy. She told me they couldn't promise there wasn't an cross contamination which I was willing to risk. I appreciated her saying that and I confirm I was taking the risk. I got my ice cream and I had about two scoop fulls and something hard touched my lips and I was concerned. So I walked over to the trash can and remove the whip cream to find a touch of peanuts in my sundae. My husband when over and reported it. The did offer to make a new one but we requested our money back. They didn't seem sorry or at all concerned that I could have gotten really sick. Again I understand I took a risk of cross contamination but I was specific and watched her but no peanuts on the order. They could have cared less. They weren't even busy to blame it on being busy. I wouldn't suggest this place if you don't want exact what is listed on the board still they seemed to get not just my order but several orders of other customers wrong as I was standing there. read more

Slooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Would be an understatement. 3 soft serves and 2 arctic swirls should not take 15 minutes. The girl working seemed to be more concerned with looking cool than serving customers in a timely manner. **EDIT- Ice cream was solid though. read more

I love Woods and have always gotten great service and always with a smile. Today however (8/20/21) I went for ice cream at the White Haven location and the girl working wasn't very pleasant and kept playing with her hair. This is a disgusting practice when you work in the food industry. Will definitely look to see who's working before I go back read more

Buying ice cream should not result in tears. Zoo-like, foul smelling & rude employees. Asked for a cup when handed a dripping cone & employee swore at my young child - her vocabulary now includes f@&$ !! read more

This place is aweful. My husbands ice cream had 2 HAIRS in it. Do not reccomend unless you wanna be sent to a hospital. This place was discusting read more

Great value and service After climbing down from the Asa Parker Mansion we were hot and tired. The medium cup of pistachio soft serve with 2 spoons for only $3.13 total was just what the doctor ordered Just beside train station lots of parking and picnic tables read more

Cute gas-station turned ice cream stand that serves a variety of cold treats from soft serve, hard ice cream, shakes, sundaes, blizzards, and Italian ices. Outdoor seating only. Prices are very very reasonable. My butterfinger Arctic swirl was only 3.75 and was pretty large! But it didn't have as much candy chunks as I would've liked. Some got milkshakes which seemed to vary in consistency. Ones was a little watery while someone else's was fine. Overall a cute place right in downtown. read more

Wood's Ice Cream - Very extensive menu!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

While vacationing in Jim Thorpe, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by for some ice cream. The location looks like it used to be an old gas station renovated to be an ice cream stand. It is outside but covered. They have so many flavors of soft serve! I ordered tea berry. It was very tasty and a good size. My boyfriend ordered a chocolate malt milkshake and he enjoyed it. Overall, a good experience and we will be back. read more

Super quick service, very good ice cream and awesome prices!! I really enjoyed my ice cream and my friend really enjoyed her coffee milkshake. The service was crazy fast, it took less than a minute to get what we ordered. The prices were lovely, very cheap for a lot of ice cream! Wow. read more

Wood's Ice Cream - This was a small!!! So big - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

So much variety I still haven't tried everything on the menu! The staff is always so friendly and has great sundae suggestions. The soft serve literally makes my mouth water and I CRAVE it in the winter. Highly recommend all Woods locations, the quality for the price is always consistent and the staff is always soo nice!!! read more

The girls that work here are terrible. Too busy socializing and not communicating with the customers. It was the first time my family had tried the ice cream here and when my little daughters had asked a few questions the girl at the register ignored us as she was too busy laughing with her friends in the back. She very annoyingly laughed to apologize. My wife and I ordered a banana split and there were NO bananas. When my wife went back up to ask if we could get a banana in our banana split, they looked at my wife like she was stupid and said they were out?!? That would have been nice to know before we ordered. With all the nicer and friendlier ice cream shops around, I can not recommend anyone coming here. read more

Fuck yeah this place is great!! 11/10 ice cream 10/10 aesthetics 12/10 service Great place. Best place. read more

Good ice cream, good service and reasonably priced. Very good black raspberry ice cream

We adore this ice cream! It's our favorite of anywhere around. Parking kinda stinks, but if you go at night, you can park across the street or in the small lot behind the shop. Their gelati is my favorite and they are cheaper and better tasting than Rita's. read more

This was stunningly great ice cream for a low cost! The service was insanely fast and the surrounding area is lovely as well. I will definitely be coming back here! read more
