    Peanut butter milkshake
    Jessica A.

    Happened up on this place while on a fall Adventure with a friend. I was going to get a home made waffle cone, but they were out so I opted for a peanut butter milkshake which was delicious. They have an interesting lunch menu so we will likely come back to try it & hopefully get a homemade waffle cone. There was a steady line of customers on this warm fall Saturday, but the line to order moved quickly and orders were filled effectively, we were able To grab a table on the patio and sit and enjoy our treats and the beautiful day.

    Ample parking

    Stoped in for a quick treat after a hike and this place hit the spot. Definitely recommend this place and I know I'll be back. I could not decide on which flavor to try because I only wanted one scoop and the lady let me split my one scoop with two flavors which was perfect and amazing. I went with the coconut joy and the cappuccino crunch and they were both just so good and smooth and creamy. Also tried the chicken salad sandwich and it was just perfect. This place has lots of parking and seating both inside and outside. Outside seating were mostly picnic tables, but they're also spread out around the property so you don't have to sit right next to anybody else if you don't want to, and that was just fantastic. The staff were super friendly and lots to choose from on the menu so I will definitely be back again to try some of their other flavors.

    Plenty O' Parking

    I ate the ice cream first. This ice cream is what dreams are made of. Such a great variety from soft serve to the famous Hershey's brand, and a local hand dipped selection. I tried a few of each, for the review of course. The Banana Moose Tracks and Almond Joy (coconut ice cream a chocolate clusters) were deliciously creative flavors, and I would come back for both, time and time again. I couldn't decide so the little lady in the barn said they could split my small into two different flavors- I went with a refreshing orange pineapple (with pieces of pineapple) that was like a creamy sorbet and the other was the Banana Moose Tracks (banana ice cream with chocolate fudge swirls and peanut butter flecks )- love at first bite - it tasted like my childhood (reminded me of an elevated Jello pudding pop from back in the day). Portions- I almost couldn't finish the small. Generous...to say the least. I rounded my dinner with a chicken salad sandwich. They have quite the selection of sandwiches and salads (see menu pic). The only thing I regretted about this visit was offering to share my sandwich with my bestie! Plenty of parking and a handful of outdoor tables and chairs. It was a last minute stop for us on our way home after an afternoon hike- a glorious finish!

    Potato Soup
    Deej Jo A.

    BLT sandwich tasted fresh, hubby loved the corned beef in Red Barn Reuben, potato soup good, chili not the best, coffee milkshake heaven, ordered coffee to taste locally roasted beans - great cup! Memu items were affordable! Ordered ice cream of course, all were good! We went on a rainy day and there were a good number of customers so this place looks like they get busy on a usually nice weather weekend! More parking at the back, saw a picnic table there too. They could do better with order placement and calling. All orders for that day were taken outside, but people scream your name out loud if you don't wait near where you actually ordered. I don't think that's good.

    Raspberry Roadrunner - kid's size
    Kyle L.

    Little Barn offers a variety of Hershey's ice cream and soft serve flavors! I struggled to choose between the two kinds but ended up sharing a kid size raspberry roadrunner and medium creamsicle soft serve twist! I didn't think the white chocolate flavor was super apparent in the raspberry roadrunner, but it was nonetheless good. I preferred the soft serve way more :)

    Half eaten ice cream

    Great service and ice cream. Super busy so get ready to wait a little. You are able to try flavors as well. They had blueberry pie soft serve. Amazing !!

    4/5 My husband and I…read moredecided to stop by this cute gelato shop in Middletown around 1:30 PM on a Sunday. They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!

    Yummy gelato! We were in town and the kids wanted ice cream. I ordered a medium cup with hazelnut,…read moreespresso and chocolate flavor! Delicious!! The hazelnut was my favorite. My husband got a pint of hazelnut and Creme Brûlée and the kids got a cup of Unicorn flavor since it's color blue. It was really good! Ambience was nice and service was good. If we were going straight home, I would've ordered more pints!

    I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. The ice cream itself was fine, but the ordering…read moreprocess was much more frustrating than it needed to be. There were only about eight people waiting outside, but there didn't seem to be any real organization. There was no clearly defined line, no sign indicating where the line started, and no obvious way of knowing which window you were supposed to approach. The location has four service windows, yet only two were being used. Employees would occasionally call out that they could help the next person, but they were speaking so quietly that it was difficult to hear them. The drive-through wasn't much better, with roughly 10 cars waiting when I was there. They also provide sidewalk chalk for customers, which is a nice idea, but people were drawing and gathering directly around the ordering windows. Because there isn't already a designated waiting area or line, that just made it even harder to tell where customers were supposed to stand or walk. What should have been a simple stop for ice cream turned into about a 15-minute wait with people basically standing around trying to figure out what was going on. The ice cream wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good enough to make me overlook the experience. With two grocery stores right nearby where I could have picked up ice cream and been on my way, I left feeling like the wait and confusion simply weren't worth it. Hopefully they eventually come up with a better system for managing customers because the current setup definitely took away from the experience.
