I rarely give 5 stars because I believe there is always room for improvement, but I have to say our…read morefirst experience at The Sugar Shack was pretty great. We were greated as soon as we walked in. The ice creams are labeled with detailed ingredients. I love this because one of them that I wanted to try said it was colored using paprika & I have to be careful eating any type of red pepper product including spices & herbs. You can sample! I tried the Ube Brownie. It's delicious so I ordered a tiny bowl of that. Bowls & cones are offered in various sizes & styles. Hubs opted for the Monster Cookie with some peanut butter sauce. We sat outside in the spacious seating area. It's covered so in this heat & direct sun, it felt comfortable to be shaded. Prices were reasonable, staff inviting, & it's a smooth creamy treat. We'll be back.

I've come here several times. The ice cream is always delicious. ( review has nothing to do with…read moreice cream, by the way) They usually have a line but it moves fairly quick. This time around, I wanted to try a sub. I ordered my ice cream and also ordered an Italian sub with everything. By the time I got in my car, the bag was ripped and leaking.. I said ok I grabbed some napkins (because they didn't even put some in the bag) and put it to the side until I got home to eat. When I parked and picked up the bag.. it was even more ripped and wet I took a peak and grabbed the sandwich and it all fell out as you can see in the pictures. Such a bad experience.. they didn't close it or wrap it properly so I was all over the place.... Smh! I've worked in the food industry for over 10 years. Whoever is training the staff or made the sandwich isn't doing such a great job. There is nothing more disappointing than getting your food and something like this happens. It's something so simple , yet something that can totally ruin the "customer experience " please do better. This is the reason for the 1 star.

I have lived within 30 miles of Leo's Homemade Ice Cream for the majority of my life... and somehow…read morenever knew it existed. Which, honestly, feels like a personal failure at this point. When my Friday night post-dinner dessert plans fell apart, Leo's popped up as a backup option -- and what a plot twist that turned out to be. We arrived around 7:15pm on what was easily the nicest Friday evening of the year so far, and the place was PACKED. Line out the door, people everywhere, full-on "this must be good" energy. But here's the impressive part -- the line moved FAST. Before I knew it, I was inside trying to make one of life's hardest decisions: choosing a flavor. Leo's offers a huge variety of homemade ice cream flavors, and you can tell they take pride in having something for everyone. From classic favorites to more creative options -- and even a sugar-free vanilla option -- there's a ton to choose from. I genuinely stood there for a minute just taking it all in. I ultimately went with a kid's dish of S'mores, and WOW...this was easily one of the best S'mores ice creams I've ever had. Super creamy, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow all showed up exactly how they should -- no one ingredient overpowering the others. Just smooth, nostalgic, campfire-in-a-bowl perfection. Also, can we talk about value for a second? $3.50 for a kid's dish? In this economy?! Absolutely worth it. One of the biggest surprises, though, was the space itself. There's plenty of on-site parking, and out back is a huge picnic area with tables, chairs, and even a covered patio. It's the kind of setup that makes you want to linger -- not just grab ice cream and go. Total summer evening vibes. And I have to give a quick shoutout to something I deeply appreciate: their hours. Leo keeps it simple -- open every day from 12pm to 9pm. No guessing, no seasonal "are they open today?" confusion, no wonky schedule to keep track of. Just consistent, reliable ice cream access, which I respect immensely. Now that I know Leo's exists, it's officially in my regular rotation. I already have a mental list of flavors I need to go back and try (including that sugar-free vanilla, because now I'm curious), and I can absolutely see myself spending warm evenings out back enjoying more of Leo's frozen goodness. Better late than never, I guess -- but wow, have I been missing out.

They offer lots of great Leo's merch for sale, like sweatshirts and t-shirts. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the ice cream itself didn't strike us as any better than, say, Five Guys or Dairy Cream. It's not bad, and in a pinch can satisfy a craving, but it didn't stand out to us as exceptional.

The heat of the day melted my winter brain, promenaded me by my spring slumber and slipped me…read morestraight into summer mode. The signal of sweat ignited the inner petition for a sweet treat - particularly one of a frozen delight. I surveyed the Carlisle and Harrisburg market for local legends, amidst the mass never-ending chains, and I landed on Masseys which from the outside appeared to have the right to call itself a landmark. Wait... LB... what are you doing in... don't worry about it. Labors. Completing my labors. The old school vibe and the trixie tang of Chanel No.5 cream told me most of what I needed to know. This was gonna slap, snap, snip, snop, stomp, twist and tuck. And if it didn't - I'd fall to my knees right in that parking lot. I'd be forced to bow down onto my knees and beg to the Gods for strength as Heracles once did during his own labors. For my penance, as those before me, I'd continue across a distance on said knees to showcase my humility and my humbleness like nobody else is capable of. Lucky for me - I popped open the door and was welcomed with delightful attitude. Everyone in the vicinity was happy. Not one mildly content face, nobody sad. All happy people eating happy ice cream. GREAT SIGN. And listen. If ya know the playa, ya know the game. Custard is superior. If custard is available... I'm crushing some custard baby. Book it, bake it and shake it baby. Yea shake that thing. I'm gonna take that thing. So yes. I peeped that menu for a split pea of a second and I jumped on the train. Up the coast and through the valleys. I end a top the Arctic Mount. Swiveled, churned and concreted. Atop the mountain I laid out a yell, a yell so grand it shook the shoulders of Atlas who did his best to maintain the weight of the world I run on his shoulders. Now... we ain't talking about ice cream. We talking bout Custard. We are talking about custard. THIS... THIS is custard. This is maybe dictionary custard. This is thicker than Aunt Jemima (RIP). This is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Thiccc will triple Cs. Dense... dowry worthy in its declaration of density, dominance and delivery. My hotel was nearby, but because of its stature I had no worry of waiting to eat it until I arrived back. Zero drip and almost no melt. Vanilla custard, M&Ms and brownie bits. The brownies were some of the best mixed-in brownies I've ever had. A weaker man wouldn't have finished this concoction. But I'm 16, 17, 20 something % body fat and I run on the saturated fat of this cream. Eggy, creamy, sweet, filling... really hit the shpotttt. Satisfied and stomichfied - My lackluster excuse for abdominals stiffened and became more defined as happiness is the true path towards washboard abs. Massey's, an underrated Yelp gem. If you don't have access to quality custard this will blow your mind. As a custardy cutie myself this didn't absolutely trample my temple - she ain't the best I ever had, nor in that convo - but she was well worth my time and more than worth the dime. I'll never be back in Pennsylvania as I've now concurred all the communities, courts, towns and cities. Every single area. Seen. Labors Done. Whatever... enough about me and my glory. Cheers to Masseys. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Mount of your Arctic. A 5 outta 5.

I had driven past this shop twice, and finally had some extra time to get in there while it was open, and I'm glad I did. The shop is very European-ish in appearance; perfectly arranged rows of chocolates of every type. Teas, gelatos, coffees and other goods round out the offerings. I had my mind set on chocolates, and did a little browsing to get an idea of what was what. The young guy working there was in training and was pretty nervous. Rebecca, who had been busy with something else, came to the rescue. She was just wonderful; knew the products inside and out, and explained the different types of chocolates and how they were priced. I was able to make a decent selection of truffles and Rebecca hand wrapped each piece and put them in a box- the presentation was perfect as I had mentioned I would be bringing these for some friends to try. Had a great conversation while she toiled away, and the background music was the perfect accompaniment to the wares. Overall it was a wonderful visit, with fabulous customer service. I only wish it was open later for an after-dinner espresso / gelato. Prices were as expected for gourmet chocolates. Parking on the street Definitely give them a visit if in Carlisle.
