    This quaint Amish creamery is the best! We had stopped by a few years ago but they were closed. So we were glad we got to check it out this time. The homemade ice cream was great! They also make their own sugar cones. So good. They don't have tables inside but lots of tables outside and space to walk around to see the goats and horses. :) They also have a drive-thru and restrooms. They sell other items in the shop including meat from their farm and cute gift items. This is a must if you're in the area.

    THE best soft pretzel i have ever eaten in my 70 years! Soft fragrant delicious with a crispy outside - light!!! No cement feeling after eating. I asked for cheese but honestly didn't use much bc i wanted to make joy the hot yummy pretzel. I also had 2 scoops of creamy ice cream- chocolate coffe and java chip flavors to die for. Perfect on a hot sunny day after our train ride! My hubby had half the pretzel and we counted this as lunch! Two sweet lovely ladies running the shop, really upbeat and friendly. We are returning today to bring six for our friend/hostess on Lake Wallenpaupak.

    Incredibly creamy & flavorful ice cream in the most beautiful setting! I wish we lived locally because this would be our go to weekly ice cream spot! Some of the best cookie dough ice cream and chocolate milk I've ever had! Well done y'all!

    Really good midafternoon stop. Reasonably priced and good sized portions. Close to the Strasberg railroad and right next door to Bespoke Brewery. Ice cream is delicious and locally sourced/made.

    There are two locations of this business. We like going to the actual farm to get homemade ice cream or a shake. They also have reasonable price outdoor furniture for sale. Very well made. We will be back next year, prepared to buy and bring home some furniture. Enjoy your ice cream !

    I have stopped by here twice now in the last two days. The first time my wife and I discovered down on the farm creamery by accident whenever we were eating next door while the second time it was to allow my twins to try their pretzels. This shop is located in a strip mall with a brewery and a model train store and caught my attention by the number of Amish dressed people who walked into it. So after my wife and I had finished dinner on this night we headed next door to check it out. As soon as we entered I noticed that all of the employees were female and dressed in Amish looking outfits. They were all super nice and polite both of the times we visited. Both times that we visited we only bought regular pretzels here but they also have quite a few flavors of ice cream, some baked goods, and even milk and eggs for sale. The pretzels themselves here are fairly large and have some salt on the front. Not enough to be salty but enough to let you know that's it's there. Then the pretzel dough tastes good with a harder exterior and then super soft interior. What makes these pretzels so good though seems to be the butter, or whatever it is they use. That makes them super savory but also really cravable. As a mostly healthy eater, I cringed while looking at our bag after we let one sit in it for a couple of hours, but still, the taste was worth it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both loved their pretzels and I would be happy to try some of their ice cream as well.

    We happened by here after going to the railroad museum and the ice cream was awesome. Good chocolate and I loved my coconut chip!

The set up is simple. They have a variety of bags and bucket sizes you can fill up with the plaster scooper that they clearly mark as clean and used scoops. From here, you can walk around and peruse the fabulous range of gummies, from the usual gummy worms to the unusual like spicy mango. Service is attentive and quick. I love these kinds of shops and used to go to a famous shop in LA that was a lot more expensive than here and had a third of the selection. I'll be back!

The extensive bulk candy selection is well-labeled and you can mix and match as you buy by weight. I visited recently on a trip to Lancaster for my birthday and treated myself to what will end up likely being about a 6-month supply of candy for me. I was having fun putting together my buckets of candy, but couldn't help but notice that the employee working during my visit seemed kind of bored. She gave me a quick greeting when I entered, but then basically ignored me and never came out from behind the counter even though I was the only one in the store for most of my visit. I guess I just expected a bit more cheer from someone working in a bright, fun candy store. My main issue though is that I found out later from a local friend that they have a rewards program that the employee didn't mention to me at all. After spending over $120 in the store, it was disappointing to find out I likely missed out on potential rewards. The shop does have a great selection of sweets though and I have a huge sweet tooth, so I'll be back on my next visit to the area.

I enjoyed a sundae that came with a cookie of your choice (I went with macadamia), topped with Snickers ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry (which I opted out of). The cookie did not disappoint --soft, thick, and easily one of the best I've ever had paired with ice cream. The ice cream itself was just as impressive, it tasted just like a snickers bar! Premise Maid has many unique ice cream flavors to choose from, plus fun cone options. Despite the crowd, service was quick and everyone was pleasant. Following our ice cream, we sat in their charming garden area and enjoyed the beautiful weather and views. It's the cutest spot to relax or take photos. Your little ones will absolutely enjoy. Inside, the space feels endless. As you wander through the bakery and candy shop, you'll also find home décor, ornaments, knick-knacks, and more. It's the kind of place where you can get happily lost browsing. There is just so much to take in. You could literally spend and hours checking out all of the cool seasonal items! I highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in Macungie--it's well worth the visit and the ice cream is a must try.

Also a pretty incredible soda wall in the back of unique and novelty flavors. Unfortunately the soda is not only on the back wall, but on the bottom shelves all along the back of the store. My 4 year old accidentally bumped into one as she was walking and it fell, didn't break, but the top came off and spilled. I jokingly said she owed me as in now had to pay for that bottle as I assumed they would simply write it off like most businesses would when there's an accidental break. Instead one of the workers simply said "yeah you do!" in an extremely entitled and rude manner. Perhaps she was an owner, I have no idea. She disappeared and we never saw her again. We were them forced to pay for the soda. We were discounted 50% but it's still ridiculous. Maybe don't put bottles on the bottom shelf where little kids can easily bump into them. Especially in a CANDY STORE WHERE YOUR MAIN AUDIENCE IS KIDS. The worker did apologize for having to charge us, but she apparently texted the owners and was told to do so...
