Sometimes all you need to turn a long week around is a really good ice cream sundae. That's exactly…read morewhere I found myself on a Friday evening in late July. I was in Hummelstown with no real plans, a loudly growling stomach and one very specific craving...ice cream. I'd probably driven past King Kone a hundred times over the years without ever stopping. For whatever reason, this was finally the night. I pulled into the parking lot around 7:30 p.m. and was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of parking, even on a beautiful summer evening. There were lots of people enjoying ice cream, but almost no line inside, which my stomach appreciated immensely. I quickly realized a cone or a bowl wasn't going to cut it. This needed to be a sundae. One of the things I love about King Kone is that many of their sundaes have fun jungle-themed names. After spending a few minutes studying the menu, I settled on the Elephant's Delight, which came to about $10.50. When I placed my order, I looked at the gentleman behind the counter and said, "It's been a long week. Can you take a couple extra minutes and put some good vibes into that sundae for me?" Without missing a beat, he smiled and said..."Absolutely." A few minutes later, he made eye contact across the room and handed me what can only be described as a bowl of ice cream the size of my head. I completely lost my composure. Right there, in the middle of a busy ice cream shop, I audibly squealed and told him, "You are making my dreams come true right now!" I wasn't exaggerating! And I think every person inside King Kone Creamery that night was aware of my excitement. Absolutely no regrets! The sundae was absolutely enormous, piled high with whipped cream, crowned with a perfect cherry and loaded with enough peanut buttery goodness to make my approximately 63.8% peanut butter personality feel completely understood. I carried my masterpiece outside and found a picnic table overlooking the beautiful property behind the shop. It was the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the evening and devote the next half hour of my life entirely to that sundae. The ice cream was fantastic. The toppings were incredibly generous, and I especially appreciated that everything was served in a large bowl instead of a tiny cup that would've had me wearing half of it before I finished. Every bite felt like the reward for surviving a very long week. King Kone turned out to be one of those places that's been hiding in plain sight all these years. Great ice cream, friendly people, generous portions and exactly the kind of place you hope an old-school neighborhood ice cream stand will be. Needless to say, it won't take me another hundred drive-bys before I stop again!

I pulled into the parking lot around 5:38 p.m. on a Friday in July and immediately looked around in disbelief. I was...the only car there. What the heck?! You mean I don't have to stand in line for ice cream? BEST. DAY. EVER! Since there was absolutely no pressure from a line of hungry people behind me, I happily took my time studying the menu before settling on what was clearly the correct life choice. A Kids' Sundae for $5.50. Here's where it got AMAZING. I picked their Peanut Butter Overload ice cream - peanut butter ice cream swirled with even more peanut butter and peanut butter cups. And then topped it with crushed peanuts, peanut butter syrup, whipped cream and a cherry. And all of my peanut butter dreams came true in the 3B parking lot that evening! As someone who's made of approximately 63.8% peanut butter, this felt less like ordering dessert and more like fulfilling my destiny. It was...glorious! Every bite somehow managed to deliver even more peanut butter than the one before it. The crushed peanuts added just enough crunch, the peanut butter cups kept things interesting and the peanut butter syrup tied everything together into one ridiculously delicious sundae. If you're sensing a theme here, it's because there was A LOT of peanut butter. Exactly as advertised. Exactly as it should be. One thing I really appreciate about 3B is that they don't overcomplicate things. They simply make excellent ice cream, serve generous portions and keep their prices incredibly reasonable. Will I be back? Absolutely! I've been enjoying 3B Ice Cream for years, and this visit reminded me exactly why I keep coming back. Sometimes you don't need the newest trendy dessert shop. Sometimes you just need a really great peanut butter sundae from a place that knows exactly what it's doing.

The setting is just as enjoyable as the desserts, with plenty of opportunities to sit back and take in the scenery. * A great spot to stop after a hike and cool down with a dessert. * There's plenty of scenic seating and parking, so it's easy to settle in and enjoy your treat. * They have a huge variety of flavors, so there's plenty to choose from depending on what you're in the mood for. * One of my favorite parts was the beautiful stream nearby, which creates a really peaceful setting and even helps illuminate the area around the dessert seating. * Being so close to nature definitely adds to the experience, although watch out for mosquitoes, especially during warmer months. Overall, 3B is a fun destination to visit after getting some time outdoors. Great desserts, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere make it a worthwhile stop after a hike. Definitely a place I'd come back to for another treat!

Their mango sticky rice actually has little bits of sweet sticky rice, which added a nice subtle texture. Their lemon meringue pie had a nice lemon flavor that was slightly tart, but still sweet, and Graham cracker crust swirled in. - Service. You can ask for free samples. - Cost. You pay per scoop and whether you order a cone. I don't remember the cost per scoop, but based on what we ordered, to include the quality and portions of the scoops, I would say it's good value for money. What's Not - Location. It's at the end of a fairly large plaza, so it's easy to miss, depending on where you are in the plaza. - Seating. There are a few tables and chairs. There's also a short counter with a few high chairs. I'm sure there are days that are crowded that make it difficult to find seating, so be prepared for the day and time you go.

After driving all over the complex (thank you GPS) & having to turn around twice due to dead-ends, we ended up parking behind the hotel in the hotel parking, where it looked like everyone needed parking permits... but an employee said we'd be fine to park there and gave us directions to the coffee shop inside. It was a bit difficult to find from that side, even with his directions, as once again NO signs. They had plenty of signs for locating your building and room... so why wouldn't they add signs for finding food and getting more $$ out of their patrons?? Once we finally found it with the hope of not being towed, we also saw where the main parking was - a HUGE lot out front. The service inside was great. They even had gluten-free blueberry muffins that were so good I almost wolfed it down before getting a photo. Fluffy and moist... not a brick or dry like most GF baked goods. They had other GF baked goods listed as well, but none were in stock. Hubs got a breakfast sandwich that he said was really good. We both got mochas - his was supposed to be iced and they made it hot (happens a lot, actually), but it was "fine"... Mine was basically a melted Reese's cup and OMG. Hands down one of THE BEST coffees I've EVER had. We will definitely be back... this time in the correct parking lot! ‍
