Overview: Terrible customer service. Food: N/A - see Service section. Recommend: N/A - see Service section. Atmosphere: Clean and tidy. Not too many seating options when they're busy, but on nice days you could eat outside. Service: I went to Half-Pint Creamery because I had read a post on their Facebook page advertising lactose-free ice creams and also frozen yogurts. As I am lactose-intolerant, I was very happy to see this and so I eagerly went soon after. When I arrived at the store, it was busy, but the staff did move pretty efficiently. However, when my turn came, I inquired about the aforementioned lactose-free ice cream and yogurts and I was told in a very cold tone, "we only serve REAL ice cream here." As my body cannot process the regular ice creams, I responded that I wouldn't be able to purchase any because of my condition and I had come specifically because of the Facebook advertisement. I was instantly dismissed without so much as an apology since I wouldn't be making a purchase. While I have heard that their regular ice creams are delicious, I was very upset by their rude treatment and do not plan to return, whether or not they ever do actually serve items I can eat. I was very excited about this shop, especially because I love supporting local businesses. I am very disappointed at the reception I was given. While they were very busy that day, it does not excuse the rude and dismissive behavior. read more

I found this after multiple friends raves about it. They were right. It was super clean and the service was great. They had tons of flavors and I'm a huge fan what can I say. read more

Great ice cream! Great customer service. I ordered a medium cake and was given a small. They were more than willing to refund or compensate with more ice cream! read more

Very tasty. We ordered two doubles. Our host served some healthy portions. Not a bad price for fresh and local. Come out and get a great serving of awesome ice cream. read more

Half Pint Creamery - Sparkle dust! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

Amazing! Best ice cream hands down!!! Super comfortable and cute environment! Family Oriented!

Honestly, once you hit up Half Pint, any other ice cream establishment is going to seem incredibly humdrum. The creator puts out something for everyone-- and you never know what's going to be on the menu when you walk in. I've had Cinnamon Toast Crunch, pumpkin cheesecake, Lucky Charms, root beer, raspberry, Dunkaroo... and even the classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. It never gets old and the staff will let you sample whatever you please before you decide. You have the option of ordering it in a dish, but if you're in the mood for ice cream, you must go for the homemade waffle cone. The employees won't skimp... that cone will be full and you will enjoy every bite. When you go to pay, there is even a little stand for your cone so you can free a hand to pay (and of course, tip the wonderful people behind the counter). This has become such a fun, local tradition for my friends and family. When visitors come from out of town, I put Half Pint on the MUST DO list. They are open seasonally, so make sure you get there and get there often. read more

We were in Gettysburg for 4 days and came here twice for ice cream. It was some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The flavors we tried were English toffee, espresso, apple pie, red velvet cake, carrot cake and Nutella. They were all soooo good. I'm glad I asked for a sample of the flavors before I ordered so I knew I would like what was in my cone. For example, they had fisherman's something or other which has Old Bay seasoning in it. I did NOT like the way it tasted. When we came back the second time, I noticed there was no espresso in the case, so they must rotate flavors regularly throughout the week. The pricing is fair in my opinion. About the same as what I'd pay back home if I went out for ice cream. The waffle cones are delicious as well. We got home late Sunday night and last night we were both thinking about how much we wanted ice-cream from Half Pint Creamery after dinner! read more

Tried this place for the first time last night and will definitely be coming back. They had tons of amazing flavors (Dunkaroo anyone?!) and it was hard to choose! Between the two of us, my husband and I tried four flavors and each was good. The fudgey peanut butter was awesome! Not the best ice cream I've ever had, but definitely the best in Hanover, maybe even PA. Blows Bruster's out of the water. Prices are a little high, but it seems like you get a good amount of ice cream per scoop. A good find indeed! read more

Great ice cream! Some of the best in the area! Really cool and different flavors that I've never seen before. Only request that they start doing half scoops, so I can try 2 different kinds but only one scoop! Love when places do that. read more

Best ice cream in town. Made fresh daily not a chain, amazing favors at a great price. The flavors change all of the time, so you never know what you will get. read more

Half Pint Creamery - Ice cream selection - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

The ice cream here is seriously incredible. I had the red velvet with the signature sparkle dust and he had chocolate peanut putter with m&m's. The red velvet was sweet and had an awesome frosting like swirl. The sparkle dust was relatively tasteless but super fun. He described the chocolate peanut butter as perfectly balanced and loved that m&m's were placed in the middle so that they stayed in the cup. The waffle cones were fresh and the service was friendly. We will be returning!!!! read more

Good ice cream, fun & unique variety of flavors. The staff is always cheery. Prices are a bit high but we don't eat out often enough for it to be a big deal. read more

This place will end up winning awards, I just know it. My family and I come once a week, if not more, and there's always something new to try. Definitely a must if you're in the Hanover area. read more

The best ice cream I've ever had! Love the old favorites and the constantly changing new selections. The cones are delicious too!

Great homemade ice-cream you must try it!!!!!!! Love the raspberry had it in the waffle cone. If your ever in the area it's a must go

Once you have the ice cream here, you will never want to go anywhere else! The owner obviously puts a lot of creativity and passion into coming up with flavors! So many options and always something new to try. I'm very excited for the new location to open. read more

Definitely get it on the waffle cone. Just opened and the line is out the door, but it moves fast and worth the wait. Original and delicious flavors. read more

Yes I will be the first to say, the prices do appear a little on the high side. However you get more than a normal scoop and the taste is worth every penny. They change the flavors up often (not sure if it is daily or just when the run out of something.) They have a website, that has live video of the current selections. We have gotten some of their to go items, and another favorite is always the broken cones. I have always had polite service, and always willing to let me have a small sample of flavors that I am not sure I want. If you give this place a negative review, you should probably look in the mirror. Its ice cream. Really really good ice cream. read more

My first visit was in 2014, the same year I had read about Trish opening this shop in McSherrystown. We were recently in the Hanover area again a couple weeks ago and were thrilled to learn that not only was this business still open and thriving, but that Trish had gotten married and they had opened two more locations in Gettysburg and New Oxford in 2015! On our recent visit, we enjoyed delicious homemade ice cream again and got to meet Trish's husband (and former customer!), Travis, as he was in the shop scooping ice cream and bringing in supplies. And true to their belief that the childhood joy of ice cream has no age limit, we found adorable ice cream-related pictures of their children on the wall. We hope we have an opportunity to visit again soon and support these successful, local business owners! read more

Great little place. The staff was friendly and there were lots of great flavors to choose from. We'll definitely be going back!
