I really enjoyed my experience at Chubby's. It's a really cute place (very rustic) with lots of seating outside. We were there at a random time on a sunny afternoon in April so it wasn't packed, but I could definitely see it being a hot spot on summer evenings. The ice cream was fresh and good, the serving size was ample, and the workers were pleasant. I also follow Chubby's on Facebook and they seem to have a fair number of family-oriented events there throughout the summer -- their Facebook page is a great way to stay informed of what's coming up! read more

Tucked behind the Plumsteadville Inn is a little red barn called Chubby's serving up a variety of treats. Good ice cream, creative flavors, and rotating specials, the newest being a five scoop flight for the indecisive, and ice cream nachos for the creative. They usually have at least one sugarfree option, and a few water ice options as well. Indoor tables and outdoor picnic tables. read more

F and I were trying to figure out where to have lunch and decided to have dessert first. Chubby's is a cute little shop in what looks like an old dairy barn. They have a big selection of ice cream, which is exactly what we were looking for. I had the strawberry which was rich and creamy. F had lemon sorbet which was super lemony and not too sweet. It was a beautiful day to sit outside in the shade or sunshine at one of the picnic tables. read more

Chubby's Dairy Barn - Appetizer before lunch - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plumsteadville, Pennsylvania

The ice cream here is undeniably delicious and my review would normally be 5 stars. But, they recently introduced a sneaky policy of charging nearly an extra $1 for sprinkles. Unless I missed it, this is not mentioned anywhere on their price board nor was I warned by the barista. It's not breaking the bank, but it feels dishonest and I left feeling a little cheated. read more

When it's 96 in the shade, it is okay to give yourself permission to cool down and chill out with some quality ice cream. Finding myself in the northern wilds of Bucks County on a visit to Ockanickon Boy Scout Reservation on an unforgiving day under the broiling sun, I wove my way down twisting two lanes into the oasis town of Plumsteadville. The blacktop mirage rippled its shimmer view, making the buildings appear to float. I spied the Plumsteadville Inn, and right next to it, Chubby's. Normally, I don't like ice cream before 5, and prefer not to eat it alone. But, this was an exception. I needed to lower my body temp before I started to act on my hallucinations. I walked in, and the AC hit me hard. Two angels came to my aid, offering to provide me with cool scoops of any flavor I could imagine. Because it was my first time in heaven they handled me a Golden Ruler as a gift (see photo). They said it would help me stay "measured." It was up to me to design the proper elixir to counteract the heat. Intuition led me to Salted Caramel and Black Cherry. It was lovingly served me in a styro cup, for under $5. The angelic smiles as I tossed the change into their prayer jar will not be forgotten. By the time I walked the short distance to my car the ice cream was already melting. I tasted both before I would be required to drink from the cup. Sheer excellence. Cool, creamy, sweet, salty, chunky, chewy - Ambrosia of the Gods. What else do angels serve on a sweltering day? ArcAngel Chubby does not make his own ice cream. It is Nelson's Ice Cream, made in Royersford, Pa. It may not be the bestest ice cream I have ever tasted, but on a day like today when shoes stick to pavement, it came straight from Valhalla. read more

We went on a whim wanting to try a place we haven't been to yet. It was so good! I had the espresso explosion and my daughter had midnight chocolate marshmallow. Both were great! Definitely going to return! read more

Here's the scoop, and I'm going to have to be short, because my ice cream is going to either melt, or all get given away before I can order my share. The ice cream at Chubby's is definitely superior to most. I just tried Maggie's Brownie Sunday here and it was delicious. I'm raving about this little place. Get there quick and it's the best decision you'll make today! read more

Very, very good local business. We go often. They are pretty involved in the community which we really like. The prices are kinda high, but the product is pretty darn good. read more

Stopped in for dessert after a really good meal at the Plumsteadville Inn right across the parking lot. Lots of really good flavors and nothing to crazy or oddball either. Sometimes privately owned ice cream shops go a little too far with flavor combinations, so it was nice to see familiar ones. I had Raspberry Cheesecake and my girl had mocha chip flavor. It was definitely a situation where there were too many good choices! Very friendly staff and good prices for the servings. read more

Love this place. Staff is always so nice, amazing array of flavors and honestly just who doesn't love a place called chubby's? The small size is technically a medium/large so I definitely always leave this place feeling just like the it's name. And I love it. read more

Good ice cream in a nice setting. Prices aren't necessarily cheap, but counter people are very friendly. They don't make their own ice cream, but it is still flavorful. Chocolate chip cookie dough had Zero dough in it (or chocolate chips). I'm surprised they even served it. Overall I'd go again...but wouldn't get the cookie dough. read more

If you like ice cream, you're going to really enjoy Chubby's. They have a great selection of flavors that will certainly please. The coconut is fantastic. read more

Very creamy ice cream and a variety of flavors (I got choc peanut butter and cake batter in a waffle cone.) it was delicious and reasonably priced. Big parking lot which made it much easier. Plenty of outdoor seating. read more

Always out (Imagine no vanilla- soft serve or hand dipped- except organic but costs 2$ more) water ice? sure- we have 1 flavor (Sour Apple). Had a Blizzard-style ice cream but had chunks from the cup being grinded up inside. Milk shake made was great, however the girl made enough for a large, gave me the regular (which I ordered) and threw the rest down the drain. Overall, at the beginning of each summer we come to give it redemption and it still doesn't impress. Local favorite but not great. read more

Local place with local feel. Good flavor choices. Tasty ice cream with interesting flavors. Very casual.

Stopped by Chubby's on one of those hot Saturday afternoons that just scream for ice cream. Satisfied the craving with Peach. Ice Cream was creamy with chunks of peaches in it. Did not taste artificial at all. Just a bite of summer in your mouth. Can't wait to try more. read more

My favorite, all time favorite flavor...Graham Slam.....Graham Cracker flavored ice cream, with chocolate covered graham crackers in it....SO amazing......I've already out grown my large Chubby's T Shirt........ read more

Terrific ice cream and service. They just start making home made water ice and that is yummy too.

Delicious ice cream with great flavors. Try the sticky bun ice cream- incredible. And the pretzel and chocolate chip cones have to be tasted to be believed. read more

Went here a week ago based on positive reviews. I was very disappointed. The tables were sticky, but there was only nine other couple in the place. There were no trash cans visible to throw away my napkins. The radio was too loud to here each other or place an order. I ordered 2 small sugar cones. The employee that scooped the ice cream didn't seem to know how to pack a cone, as soon as they were handed to me, the scoops fell off the cone. He scooped them again, they fell off as soon as I stepped outside. $10 (for 2 small cones!)thrown away. I tried to clean up my mess, but with no trash cans available, I ended up leaving my dropped scoops on the counter and on the sidewalk. read more

Love. Features Nelsons ice cream , such a great treat and some fun family time. Picnic benches outside. Worth the trip. A new favorite in recent years. read more

The staff here are extremely helpful and polite. Good selection and toppings of hand dipped ice cream. Would recommend if you're in the area to enjoy some ice cream on a picnic table right outside. read more

I went here based on the reviews! I was very disappointed on the service I received today from the young man that was working. He seems in such a hurry to rush us just because more customers walked in the door that he messed up my order and seems annoyed when I needed to correct him on it. The ice cream was ok but not the best. I will continue to go to my favorite ice cream place that is a little further away. That has better ice cream that I know is homemade and truly has better customer service no matter how busy they our!! I will not be recommending this place to my friends. Due to poor customer service. read more

Awesome hand-dipped, locally owned ice cream shop. This it the kind of business you want to support - great product (my fave is the chocolate moose trails), great service, and they go out of their way to support the community. Frequent "celebrity scoop" nights which support local schools and other community groups. There's a large parking lot (pull in at the Plumsteadville Inn and you'll see the building on the right), picnic benches, even a water dish to let your pooch get refreshed too. And monthly cruise nights (right now I think it's the first Monday of the month) where antique cars convene and you can wander around the lot while enjoying your ice cream. read more

Great staff, local business, and best of all amazing ice cream! Went tonight for the first time and I'll never go anywhere else. The dulce de leche was amazing and the double chocolate the kids had had to be finished by me! I also noticed while I was there a little league baseball team came in and the owner asked all of them how their game went. This is the quintessential little ice cream place so if you haven't tried it GO bc you will not be let down. Keep up the great work guys! read more

We come to Chubby's for ice cream almost every weekend. My favs are Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl and Moose Legs (both choco and vanilla). And we've purchased bulk ice cream as well - notable favorites are Pistachio and Minister of Defense! read more

We have been going to Chubby's since it opened a few years ago. The owner and local kids who work there are great. The ice cream, soft serve and water ice are all great. Depending on how much time we have, but there are picnic tables outside to eat and if you want to sit inside, there is limited seating. We normally get something in a cone but any sundae I have had, especially there brownie sundae are delicious. They also make homemade chocolate cookie ice cream sandwiches. Also delicious. I recommend Chubby's to anyone in the area or someone who has dinner and wants a good place for dessert. read more

Another local gem! Only been here a handful of times for the ice cream, but never been disappointed! Plus the "community/family" feel is a huge added bonus! Can't wait to try some of the other varieties of items (ie water ice, and their version of gelatis and blizzards) read more

What a great find! Really good ice cream, friendly service, and plenty of seating inside and out! We read an earlier review stating the didn't accept credit cards but we're pleased they do now. Will be back soon! read more

Come here after you eat from the Plumsteadville Inn, great treat and nice outdoor space to enjoy ice cream.

A neighbor recommended Chubby's to us and we loved it! The location is right next to Plumsteadville Inn. Such a fun, cute place! We were surprised how much we loved their ice cream. My mom said it was the best soft serve she's ever had!! We will definitely be back to Chubby's! read more

My visit was back in November. The ice cream was great and the manager/owner was so nice. There was a hair in my niece's sprinkles and he gave our whole party of 8 ice cream for free. Great business. I would go back again! read more

Soft serve is consistently broken. They have IOUs but I would appreciate a sign saying minimum credit card purchase $10 more.

Had a great time with our daughter at Chubbys dairy barn. They had a girl dressed as a Disney character come and read stories and take pictures with all the kids. The ice cream is very good also. Good times with the family. read more

Went this past weekend since it was unusually warm for October. Did not have a good experience. The place was very dirty. The girl at the counter was unhelpful and unpleasant. There was no water ice, however, when asked, the girl explained one of their dishes where one of the ingredients was water ice...but she failed to mention that they did not have any water ice. They also had a very poor selection of hard ice cream that looked melted and refrozen. read more

This is the BEST ice cream. It is under new ownership and I like that they kept everything pretty much the same. The only thing that could be better is the ice cream seems to be a bit more melty than it used to be when they hand it to you over the counter. My favorite though!! read more

such an adorable parlor with a GREAT selection of ice cream flavors!!
