They used to make awsome ice-cream but now triglycerides are in there ice-cream. Not home made chemicals that kill.

I know there is a lot of complaints on how the taste has changed. Maybe it's a raw material issue or maybe they just changed things up, who knows. I still find it better than going to one of the bigger chain ice cream shops. I live in the area it moved to so it's only a couple blocks from me so I will choose it every time. In fact my little one and I stopped in on Sunday for a couple cones and K-9 cup for the pup at home. I grew up going to the original spot all the time while visiting that area, so having it down the road now is great. They set up a beautiful bench area outside on nice days. Staff are always the nicest. As long as they are around they have my business. read more

Definitely not the Carmens I remember.I'm not saying that it's not good. It's just not what I remember. service today was excellent. Selection was average.flavor was good. ...not my favorite . Value was better the average. And it is real ice cream. I would come back. Local family companies are great to support. read more

Sorry to the locals that like this just because it's local, but Carman's is inferior to the widely distributed Turkey Hill and Green's. So obviously it can't come close to competing with the local premium ice cream, Perry Dell. This so-called "ice cream" has way too much water and not enough cream which is apparent from the crystalline texture. I took a chance and paid the premium price, but this "ice cream" sucks. read more

I grew up eating Carmen's ice cream. My favorite vanilla and chocolate. But the half gallons I purchased about 2 weeks ago were not the same as usual. Especially the vanilla. Something is off with the recipe. It is too creamy, too sweet. Not the same as it was. I am hoping this is just a one-time mistake because if it is the way they are doing it from now on I won't be buying it. It will also be very sad to me because it was a treat I have loved for 50+ years. read more

Tasty ice cream. Friendly staff. Affordable home made ice cream. Do you need more than that? Very tasty ice cream. So many flavors to like! Peanut butter is a family favorite. Basic chocolate is excellent. The best surprise is the teaberry - try it on a hot summer day. You won't be disappointed. This is a family run place that serves classic ice cream. We get pints to take home, but it's a struggle not to eat all of them at once. read more

Since they have moved the business from Loganville to way out in west York I have noticed their ice cream is not the same. We now have to get it at a local country store, which would be great if were any good. I most certainly would not make a trip the whole way out there. So disappointed in Carman's not old fashioned ice cream. read more

Carman's use to supply ice cream to all the schools in the West Shore School District. I had their delicious ice cream the whole way from kindergarten to high school. When I started working at Adhesives Research, I would stop and get ice cream from their location in Logansville when I wasn't traveling for work. This place is a national treasure. read more

The ice cream is stellar for the price. Quick and fast service with delicious ice cream. There's plenty of flavors and sizes and the cups are easy to transport and stay cold for a long time. My favorite spot for ice cream no matter the season. read more

Over 15 fresh and very creamy flavors obviously made locally. Not an ice cream parlor as much as a backdoor at the dairy that sells the goodies. Outside bench seating. A good place to stop with kids. The proprietor is extraordinarily friendly. read more

Carman's Ice Cream - an old fashioned ice cream sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

It is amazing how one spoon full of Carman's vanilla can take me back to a kid sitting on the sofa with my grandfather. Not to mention the broken pretzels on top for an extra treat. I have been a fan for many years. I now have my grand kids asking for that ice cream that grampy likes. read more

We have loved Carmen's Ice Cream for decades. Recently, something has changed. It is no longer the icy cold wonderful ice cream that it used to be a few months ago. It is the only ice cream we buy by the 1/2 gallon and have recently been disappointed with the change in it. It is too fluffy, overly sweet and no longer the icy cold treat we once enjoyed. Some friends who also love it have noticed the change too and say they will no longer be buying it. We are hoping that you will go back to the old recipe which was a favorite for many years. read more

Carmen's ice cream is the absolute best ice cream I've ever tasted! We have family that lives in Glenrock and every holiday that we got together. They always had Carmens for dessert. Whenever I am in the area I make sure I stop by and pick up whatever fun flavor they have going on. The cheese cake ice cream is one of the best that I've ever tasted, as well as the blueberry. I can't wait to come back to get some more. read more

Nice mom and pop type business. They have all prepackaged ice cream in sizes ranging from a cup all the way up to a half gallon. I tried the banana. Thumbs up Wife had the cookies and cream. Thumbs up Kid had the chocolate and peanut butter. Thumbs up We will definitely be back. read more

Great local place that has been here forever. The ice cream shop is a little building behind a house. Parking for several cars off street right at the shop. Walk in and order from behind a chain at the freezers basically. No where to sit inside but a couple of sweet little benches in the shade outside. They sell by the cup, pint, quart or gallon. They also have a rack with a few local pretzel and chip choices. Bring cash, and small bills at that. No credit/debit available. We had tea berry, peach and vanilla. All great. We will be back. read more

Carman's Ice Cream - a woman holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite place for homemade ice cream. Just like the ice cream we made at home 60 years ago. Same texture, except we'd add a little more sugar. Allergy friendly to those with peanut allergies, too. read more

Great homemade ice cream!! The best around that I've had!! They still have full 1/2 gallon containers unlike some other companies. read more

Carman's Ice Cream - Ice cream flavors!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

Carmen's ice cream has always been a household favorite. It is one of those things you just have to have after being away from home, too. The ice cream is more 'icy' and not as creamy, which I really enjoy. It is the closest to home made ice cream that I've had. The vanilla is by far the best flavor there. Carmen's is also right down the road from Brown's Market, which is another one of my favorite places. read more

What a great little spot that truly lives up to the description "old fashioned." We were in the area today to ride the historic steam train in New Freedom, PA with our 3 year old twin boys and then were looking for an ice cream shop to hit afterwards. This place was a great find. The shop is very small and the ice cream isn't scooped up for you but comes in cups, pints and other sizes that are prepackaged. We didn't mind because the experience was very cool, the people were super friendly, and the ice cream was delicious. The woman who served us said this business has been around since the 1950's and had been in the family for three generations. It's a great throwback to what it must've been like to go for nice cream back in the 50's and 60's before Cold Stone, BR, etc started to dominate. We would definitely stop here again. read more

Treat yourself to delicious home made ice cream in a variety of flavors . If you are in the area it is worth the stop.

The last time I remember a little cup of ice cream that I had to peel back and eat with a little wooden spoon, I think I was 5 years old. Oh how it brought me back to my childhood. This was my first visit to Carmans, and although I'd never been there I would certainly go back. The ice cream had a very creamy texture and was absolutely delicious. The price was not so bad either. I would guess the cups were about 8oz. and 1.25 a cup. Not bad. All in all, nice little hole in the wall. Check it out! read more

Local favorite. I taste the love and the olde thyme influence. Sweet and sandy. Still get a stubby woody spoon to eat with right away. Orange-pineapple is my favorite. read more

What a little gem, not many mom-n-pop ice cream shops around anymore. Always at least 15 or 20 flavors available. Cups,pints,quarts,half gallons and 3 gallons tubs, always fresh and made on premises. The prices are good and it's good to see a business hiring high school students to staff the store, no bags, your purchase is wrapped in newspaper. read more

I love this place. It's ice cream is homemade and always delicious. Definitely one of my favorites!!

carman's ice cream is a york county gem and has been a personal and family favorite forever. i stick with the basics - chocolate and vanilla, but they have many more types. as another review said, their ice cream is on the icy side - and it feels a little sandy in your mouth but that's part of the appeal for me! it is not sickening sweet like many of the commercial brands. it's easy to miss the street that you turn onto for the shop so keep an eye out. read more

Love the ice cream, love the friendly folks who work there. Classic, throwback ice cream store with great flavors. Try the caramel - it is fantastic. read more
