Now with two locations, Ephrata and Leola, Fox Meadows, a farm-to-table 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.
Figment in Sprinkles is serving up ice cream with unique topping options such as, girl scout cookies, cupcakes, lollipops, bubble waffle bowls and so much more!
Locations in both, New Holland and Gordonville, Lapp Valley is conveniently located within a few miles from Kitchen Kettle Village!

Located in Leola, right off Route 23, sits Hayloft Ice Cream. Hayloft serves hand-dipped, soft-serve ice cream, Italian ice, soft pretzels with dips, and many other fine treats. They also donate all profits to Allegany Boys Camp, a year-round residential wilderness camp for boys ages 9-16 who are struggling in their homes and at school.
Ice cream sandwiched in between two freshly made stroop waffles- need we say more! The stroopie ice cream sandwich at the Lancaster Sweet Shoppe is a must try in our book. They also offer a cones, milkshakes, and floats in your choice of flavor. Another crowd pleaser is the chocolate pretzel sundae.
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!
