Another delicious ice cream stop at the Sweet Shoppe. Customers were lined up to the entrance, but the service was fast and friendly. 1 person manning the register and 3 or 4 people taking orders and scooping that lovely dairy dessert. read more

Cream Therapy Amazing little bakery/creamery that is infamous for their Stroopies, which are basically stroop waffles. If you've never had one before, they're amazing. They sell them on their website if you're curious.. Anyways, long story short we were all hankering for some iced creams, and this place fit the bill. Great service, fresh homemade ice creams, and all at family-friendly prices. Pro Tip: Great brick wall enclosed outdoor space, so get your goodies and enjoy it out there. read more

Such an adorable store! So many candies. Stroopies and ice cream flavors to choose from! We came about 30 minutes prior to closing after dinner which was so nice since they stay open later than some other sweet shops. There's enough seating on the side for a few tables and it looked like they had a hidden outdoor option in the back! Will def come back to explore! The line was pretty long on a Saturday night but moved at a good pace. You can tell it's a local and tourist fave for sure. read more

I can see why this place has such good reviews - it left me yearning for more! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I would return to Lancaster just to remember again that moment I ate my espresso caramel Oreo ice cream. That's right. ESPRESSO CARAMEL OREO (or maybe it was espresso Oreo caramel). It doesn't matter to me!! The combination of those flavors was insanely good and the ice cream was so creamy! The prices were one to be admired as I've never seen anything so wonderfully affordable either, ha! The shop is super cute. Walk into the front where it's a chocolate shop focusing on Stroopies. Then past the wall is a narrow hall of seating on the left with goodies supporting local artists and then the ice cream on the right. They list all the flavors in the middle when you line up and while many are regular, there were also really unique ones. I've always loved coffee ice cream so I went for this flavor that attracted me but my kids ordered a strawberry cheesecake which I also found to be premium quality in terms of its creaminess. I wish I could stay in Lancaster longer to taste all the other ice creams but for now; this place left me wanting more! read more

ice cream was tasty. The service counter and small eating area were very cramped together.

I looked up on Yelp: ice cream and this place came up and did Not disappoint. It's an adorable sweets shop in town with super delicious ice cream. In my party we got vanilla, mint chocolate chip and my fave chocolate peanut butter. All creamy and delicious. Short line, pleasant staff. Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing and fresh ice cream. Tried multiple flavors. Very friendly service also. Wise selection

Ice cream, stroopwafels, cookies, and more! This place has all the sweets one could ask for. We went here with our family from Ocean City MD and our nephew Alex loved it! Lots of good flavors of ice cream in a fresh waffle cone or cup, and sprinkles if you want them. The stroopies are all dipped in different types of chocolate and some are stacked up. Crazy good. Parking is a little challenging, but they have a back entrance off a small parking lot that many don't know about. We will be back! Try it you'll like it! read more

We come here at least once a month to get ice cream and have never once had a bad experience. The flavors are fantastic and the portions are hefty (but no complaints here)! My favorite ice cream flavor is the Espresso Oreo Caramel and the Mint Oreo is a close second! They also make sundaes with their stroopie pieces on top which is incredible. All around, great service, incredible ice cream and a great patio area in the back to enjoy ice cream during warmer months! Another bonus is they have fudge, candy and stroopies for sale in the front portion of the store - nothing beats buying a 5 pack of stroopies and having them for a snack with your morning coffee during the work week! read more

Very cute shop and also very reasonably priced!! A cappuccino in the $3 range is unheard off lol. I'm not from this area so may that is why haha but not only was it affordable, it was also very good. The perfect ratio of milk foam and espresso! Added a little bit of simple syrup and it's a great cup! Very satisfied haha. Also got the mini dip ice cream. That was like $2 or something!!!! I'm not use to these prices. The mini dip ice cream is not mini, in my opinion. It was a great size. Granted, I came here after having a Nashville chicken sandwich, half a deluxe cheesesteak and some curly fries but regardless, if I am back in the area, I would stick with the mini dip. Ohh and the actual ice cream tasted yummy. I got the strawberry. It reminded me of a strawberry milkshake I use to have as a kid growing up haha great place with plenty of offerings!!! A must go!!!! read more

This is a very nice Place to take care of that sweet tooth. From the moment you enter you are surrounded by chocolates and ice cream. They also have local crafts on display. The place is very big and also has searing all the way outside in the back. Looks almost like a garden. The only thing if anyone is Dairy Free there is not options. But they was kind enough to point us to a place one block away that had dairy free options. So I took my wife to get her non-Dairy ice cream and I returned to get my ice cream. I 1000% recommend this place. read more

Lancaster Sweet Shoppe - Very unique sweet shop a must stop - Desserts Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The cashier was not friendly at all. Very harsh if you ask me. I've always enjoyed coming to the Reading Terminal. The day k purchased a stroppie from them on March 23, 2025, it was around 50 degrees outside. By the time I got home, to NY the whole stoopie melted and stuck to the plastic packaging. Which btw, why do you use plastic if you advertise yourself as sustainable business? Just in case they're going to say that it was hot in my car, I'm a person who likes the cold and keeps her AC at a temperature below 68 at all times Anyways, back to the purchase that I made. I bought this $3.75+tax stroppie and I was really looking forward to having it, as it reminds me of my past and someone I loved. Not to be petty, but this experience was ruined so it became a matter of principal for me to contact the shop. I contacted Stroopies Inc. they we-directed me to contact the Sweet Shoppe. So I did. This is the response that I received. Tell me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion this could have been handled differently by the business. I still ate it, but the whole experience that I was looking forward to so much was ruined. There's so little pleasure that I have these days in my life and you have definitely stripped me of this one. read more

Quaint shop in the heart of Lancaster city. The sweet smell hits you the moment you open the door. The front of the store is full of chocolates and gifts, but if you go in just a bit further you'll find an ice cream counter with a full menu of options. They make stroop waffles (look it up--simply said -- yummy), selling several varieties at the candy counter, but they also make an ice cream with stroopie pieces as part of the recipe. Actually all of their ice cream is homemade. That stroopie ice cream on a waffle cone is simply heaven. There's tables inside and a sweet patio out back. read more

The service was very nice and the servings are huge! I got a double scoop in a waffle cone and it was perfect for my husband and I. The waffle cone was fresh! I ordered chocolate chip cookie dough which was very creamy and delicious! My favorite! The espresso Oreo caramel was also good. The coffee flavor was very strong which my husband loved!!! read more

First of all, this little shoppe is so freaking cute. It is clean and bright and adorable. You can buy packages of their stroopwafels, or buy one individually for a snack, or get them crumbled up atop some ice cream. They have a nice selection of ice creams, including the basics and some more adventurous options. We got mint chocolate chip and chai-stroopie, and both were amazing. There are also sundae options, as well as milkshakes. Regarding covid precautions: walking traffic was controlled in one direction, with a separate exit back to the street. Line spacing is marked on the floors. And the back patio has been arranged for safe outdoor eating. read more

One of my favorite sweet shops, pun intended, in downtown Lancaster. The front of the shop is full of Stroopies, chocolate covered goodies and sweets of all kinds. The caramels and brittle are some of my favorites there. The ice cream....oh the ice cream...there are no words. It's creamy, rich, homemade and addicting. The chunks of oreo were full chunks. I feel like most places blend their add-ins to the point of crumbs, whereas this ice cream has large than quarter size chunks. We had a few samples of some of the other flavors and it was by far the toughest decision I had to make all day :) read more
