After a great Friday Date Night dinner, there was only one logical next step: ice cream. Not soft-serve-from-a-chain-on-every-corner ice cream. Real ice cream. The kind that requires intention. Enter Faye's Ice Cream Parlor, which I learned (the hard way) is one of the very few local ice cream shops that's open year-round AND late enough to actually grab dessert after dinner in the winter. Bless them. A little pre-visit research led me to Faye's social media to confirm they were open--and that's when I saw it: Peanut Butter Blast. Creamy peanut butter ice cream loaded with Reese's Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups. As a lifelong peanut butter enthusiast, my fate was sealed. Thanks to a recent Central PA snowstorm, street parking was...adventurous. After one strategic lap around the block, I found a spot just a few spaces from the front door and felt like I had won the lottery. I carefully perched my car atop a snowplow-created mountain and hustled inside in search of warmth...and ice cream. Inside, there was only one other group of customers, which made perfect sense given it was late January, about 15 degrees outside, and there were still inches of snow piled everywhere. I was oddly comforted knowing I wasn't the only person craving ice cream in the dead of winter. I ordered the smallest dish they offer (a kiddie size for around $4), slid into a retro booth in the back, and dug in. The ice cream was fabulous--rich, creamy, and absolutely loaded with peanut butter goodness. Zero regrets. But honestly? The interior might have been my favorite part. The full-on 1950s vibe--from Elvis to Marilyn Monroe, the decor, and the music--felt like stepping into a time capsule. I have nothing but respect for the staff who listen to the classics all day, every day...because I personally could not do that without losing my mind. Still, it absolutely fits the charm. Bottom line: Faye's is a super solid ice cream stop any time of year. Between the great ice cream, cozy retro vibes, convenient location, and rare winter / later-night hours, this place is a win! I'll definitely be back--especially once the weather breaks and I no longer have to scale snowbanks for dessert. read more

Fun vibe and delicious flavors. Even if the line looks long don't worry, it moves very quick. Be sure to check out the homemade waffle cones and come back every month to try the new flavors. Great addition to the small town vibe read more

This place is awesome!!! It's like you stepped out of 2025 and time traveled back in the day. The decor and atmosphere reminded me of being a kid again. Glad I found this place and couldn't have my kids experience a real ice cream parlor. The ice cream was also out of this world. read more

Some friends told us about Faye's and we were finally in New Cumberland and able to visit. We were lucky in that there weren't many customers at first which allowed us the time to leisurely sample this flavor and that. We settled on (1) a scoop of the salted caramel pretzel flavor, (2) one with pieces of Biscotti cookies mixed in it, and then (3) a scoop of the monster flavor, which, in addition to being blue, has Oreos mixed in along with chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough! Total price: a little over eleven dollars, which we were thrilled about. The salted caramel was surprisingly not as flavorful as we expected. The other two scoops went the other direction - definitely on the sweet side! The ambiance and service was really great!! A 50s diner feel, with lots of room and lots of fun 50s stuff on the walls. And spotless!! If that's not enough, there is also a full size Elvis Presley for people to have their pictures taken by. The owners of this place gave it a lot of thought and it shows! We don't visit New Cumberland often, but when we do we'll be sure to pay another visit. read more

1. Such a cute environment! 50s soda shop style. Loved !! 2. Such fun and amazing ice cream options !!! For example, I had "Ube Brownie" what!? So good. My sister had an ice cream cookie sandwich and she got to pick her cookies. They also had topping options; sauces as well as add-ins like graham crackers, marshmallows, and gummy bears. I had a full chocolate cone. Loved it, feel like you never see that. 3. The workers were so joyous !! So sweet read more

5/5 - Faye's Ice Cream is the REAL deal Faye's Ice Cream absolutely knocked it out of the park. I'm not exaggerating when I say the pistachio was fan-fucking-tastic -- easily one of the best scoops I've had anywhere. Perfectly creamy, real pistachio flavor, none of that fake green nonsense. Just pure happiness in a cone. And speaking of cones... their hand-dipped cones are next level. Crispy, chocolatey, and way better than anything you'd get at a typical ice cream spot. It's like they took a childhood classic and said, "Let's make this insane," and then actually did it. The staff were friendly, the shop had that great retro feel, and everything tasted like they genuinely care about what they serve. If you're anywhere near this place, go. Immediately. read more

Absolutely love the flavor options at this shop especially as someone who is not big on chocolate. My favorites have been the biscoff cookie and strawberry cheesecake. Services is quick even when line is busy it is worth the wait. Love how they've kept the vintage aesthetic with great seating inside. read more

The ice cream had a peanut butter chuck about 2 inches long in it, I couldn't even bite it, that was how hard it was. The ice cream was OK. My sister got mint chocolate chip and chocolate peanut butter. The guy gave her monster cookie, and we politely told him it was wrong. He said, "No, she ordered monster cookie." We said again that she didn't. "That is what she initially ordered." We said it again. "No, but if you would want to change the order to something COMPLETELY different, than go ahead, whatever." So, we told him the order all over again. When he was giving it to her, he said, "There. Your COMPLETELY different order. Enjoy." The place is clean, and the options for flavors are OK. I wouldn't go back, though. read more

Vibes were immaculate and shout out to Dominik for being the absolute best ice cream scooper in the world. He made my experience very enjoyable. 10/10 would be back read more

New favorite place!!! My sister and I came here and we were greeted with the nicest people ever, they let us try different types of ice cream and suggested what might go well together. They were just as excited as we were with what we picked! There is ample seating inside or there are a couple of tables/benches outside around the corner we sat at that were super cute. Everyone was SO nice and the ice cream was great. They release new flavors too which we are already excited to try next month! read more

Great neighborhood ice cream spot. Super kid friendly, staff was extremely helpful, and quality of the ice cream much better than any chain.

as soon as I walked in, I wasn't greeted or anything, all 8 employees just glared at me like they didn't want us in there. didnt even try their ice cream, I just left because it was awkward and staff was rude read more
