    Adorable little ice cream shop on the side of the road. Portions are huge for not a lot of money. My daughter and I split the s'mores sundae and still had plenty left over! Cash only - if you need an atm, it's at the BP down the street.

    The greeting from the road.

    I have to say that I am truly surprised that before I came along that this place has no reviews let alone a Yelp page. Why am I surprised by that? Because when this place is open for the season, it is constantly busy. Sitting along route 985 on the outskirts of Johnstown is this little roadside ice cream shop. It has that old time feel to it that is charming. You pull into a gravel lot and get out of your car and walk up to the one of the two windows and place your order. Within minutes you have your delicious soft serve in hand and you become happy. Flavors change out weekly and are quite interesting. My last visit they had a cotton candy flavor that tastes very similar to some cake icings. Even though it was interesting I ended up getting myself a chocolate chip cookie dough flurry. Think Dairy Queen blizzard and that's what you have here. The only thing I think I could have changed about this was that I should have tried this with the chocolate flavor instead of the vanilla. There are days that I wish I could just stop here and waste away the day, but real life interferes with that. Who could pass up sitting at the picnic tables while eating that sweet treat. On a really nice day you could walk across the street and check out the covered bridge if you like, but I suggest just sitting there and enjoying yourself. *Cash only.

    This is a family business & the whole area waits for the opening each spring! Great flavors & portions! Love the raspberry/vanilla twist!

    This is a must go to every time I am in Pennsylvania! Don't be afraid of the line it goes by fast and the ice cream is definitely worth it!

    On a gal's road trip and in "need" of a treat. Saw this ice cream venue and we "had" to stop…read more So glad we did. While we waited for someone to service us at the window, we encountered two women seated at a table and asked what they would recommend. One said they didn't know, they were waiting on their order, but did indicate they ordere the upside down banana split. They also offered up for us to be patient as there was only one person working this Sunday. Well, once their orders arrived, my girlfriend and I definitely opted for the same upside down banana split served up on a cup. It was HUGE, and, seriously, we could have (should have) ordered only one between us and shared. It only cost 5 dollars. With soft vanilla and chocolate ice cream, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, and whipped cream (i had them skip the cherry), it was very yummy. And, no, neither of us were able to finish though we gave our best effort.

    I have always really liked their Tutter Sundaes. But tonight was a major disappointment. I gave my…read moreorder as always asking for a Trutle Sundae with whipped cream and a few extra cherries. The girl asked if I wanted peanuts on it. I explained Turtles had pecans. The sundae came and no cherries- when I said something she added them. It was easily at least one third smaller than it ever has been. I got in the car and no caramel!!!!!! This is the first time I have ever been disappointed.
