Locals’ Favorite Ice Cream Spots in Lancaster, PA
Our favorite places for ice cream around the county
Rolled Cold Creamery
Want to see your own flavor created before your eyes? At Rolled Cold Creamery they use heavy cream which is poured onto a -19 degree frozen steel pan, as the cream freezes fresh fruits, cookies, candies and other items are added to the mixture. Finally the ice cream is rolled up and served to you- watching the process is half the fun!
Fox Meadows Creamery
A farm-to-table creamery in Ephrata, Fox Meadows Creamery creates hand-crafted ice cream made on-site with milk from the family’s dairy farm located across the street- it doesn’t get fresher than that! We recommend their signature treat the “Baked Fox,” which is a hot pressed outer shell like a chocolate chip cookie or chewy brownie with cold ice cream of your choice inside… YUM.
Bird-in-Hand Bakery & Café
Made on location with local fruits, all-natural flavorings and stir-ins from the bakery, ice cream from the Bird-in-Hand Bakery & Café is delicious. Flavors change month to month offering guests a wide variety to try, from traditional vanilla to localized flavors like shoofly pie.
Greco’s Italian Ices & Homemade Ice Cream
A Lititz local favorite, Greco’s is always packed- but don’t worry the line moves quickly! They offer Philly-style water ice and house-made hand-dip ice cream in a multitude of flavors. The variety changes weekly, and 40+ flavors are offered daily so you will have plenty of options to choose from.
Isabella’s Ice Cream Parlor
Located on Lititz’s charming Main Street, Isabella’s Ice Cream Parlor invites guest to step in and enjoy the simple goodness of ice cream.
