The Cup never disappoints. Delicious, creamy ice cream and lots of flavors to choose from. They even have Italian ice options if your in the mood for that. The staff at this location is always friendly. Seating available outside and a couple seats inside. This location is smaller than the original but still offers a lot of options. Street parking only at this location. read more

Lots of options, and huge portions for reasonable price. The ice cream is very creamy and there are a ton of different options. I thought the small would be easy to finish but it was a lot more than expected. For locally made ice cream this is delicious. Would definitely recommend. Friendly staff, arcade machines if you're bored, not a ton but decent amount of seating. read more

Retrospective update: The Cup is really, really good compared to the awful quality of Lehigh's campus food which was catered by Sodexo when I was an undergraduate. This is an offshoot of the Bethlehem Dairy Store, which I never patronized. I grew up in northeast Pennsylvania where we had real dairies, but I always appreciate good ice cream, and plenty people at Lehigh did, too. read more

MANAGEMENT is SUPER RUDE!!!! White women, comes up to my mother is much older and bc she happens to walk out the restroom and instead of walking around she cut through the back, not knowing she wasn't allowed. The lady runs up to her and says super LOUD "EXCUSE ME YOU CAN NOT WALK THROUGH THE BACK" my mom startled and says sorry. Lady walked off. I looked at the lady serving us asking who was. I was told that is management and I asked her don't you think that was rude their was a better way of saying that. Her being sweet even agreed and apologized for her. DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK. Rather pay more and drive further for Better service. To top it off this was my mother's FIRST time never been here before. Promise it will be our last read more

Such a wonderful local spot! The Cup has that perfect small-town charm -- friendly staff, quick service, and consistently delicious ice cream and coffee options. Everything tastes fresh and high-quality, and the portions are generous. It's a great place to stop on a warm day or after exploring downtown Bethlehem. The outdoor seating gives it a relaxed, community feel, and the menu has something for everyone -- from classic cones to sundaes and shakes. Simply put, The Cup never disappoints. A must-visit if you're in Bethlehem and want a sweet treat done right. read more

Glad carvel was closed. Some of the best ice cream I've had. So don't waste your time elsewhere, l think you'll enjoy it.

The ice cream was so tasty, and the environment was great! I thought it was unique that they can make a milkshake out of any of the ice cream flavors -- the blueberry was delicious. The gentleman who helped us was friendly and welcoming. We will return if we're back in the Bethlehem area! read more

the ice cream is great but there is always a long wait that just makes it not worth it in my opinion.

Delicious ice cream. Shorter lines than the original location but less flavors as well. Very convenient to all that south side has to offer. Friendly service. The layout is different than the other location and it seems you order then pay at this one which through us off. There is not clear "line starts here" read more

It was very yummy I got the soft ice cream and it came out quick .And I recommend the sprinkle cone.The lady who served us was so nice.It is a small building but the line is worth the wait.5 stars so good. read more

Great ice cream spot with plenty of delicious flavors and friendly people right on Lehigh's campus. Really enjoyed the assortment of dipped waffle cones and seasonal flavors! read more

The ice cream was delish and a child size scoop was really an adult size scoop! The person who waited on us was friendly and helpful. The ice creams are made by Bethlehem Dairy and if I saw the product in a store I'd buy it! Rich and creamy and yummy! read more

The ice cream is some of the finest quality you will get in Lehigh valley . Creamy rich consistency with authentic flavors . The freezer selection has a lot of the most popular versions in plastic containers and the counter has the most fresh and original flavor offerings. Very clean, seating inside and welcoming service . read more

Loved this little ice cream shop at Lehigh University! The prices were good and the employee there was nice! They gave us a good size scoop! I also love how the interior was friendly and fun! Delicious ice cream!! read more

Lively, crazy long line that moved quickly and too many choices! I ordered wrong for me and had a little too much sweet stuff, but overall it was a great experience. One of my friends was particularly happy - floating on a cloud after one of the baked apple a la mode deals. It was reasonable pricing too! read more

The Cup - Late night dessert! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Excellent icecream !! Service is very nice. There's so many cute pictures on the walls I love the vibe.

This is probably the best ice cream I've had in a long time. I had the chunky pineapple and tried a couple more flavors and they all were really good. The portions are also pretty big, I got the "small" and it was plenty. Highly recommend! Also, the guy that was serving us was really nice, I don't remember his name but it was a blond guy on July 8th read more

Really great ice cream and cookies. It tends to get busy so ordering it a little over-engineered, but the sweets are great.

Best ice cream ever. I always get the butter brickle and it is to die for! ABSOLUTELY recommend. Staff is always very friendly and the shop is super cute. Got three tubs of ice cream to go as well. I promise it will not disappoint. So smooth and creamy! read more

We love this place, the atmosphere, and outside so much, we drive 25 min to get here! Ice cream is wonderful and so many different flavors but I mostly get chocolate with (whole) almonds in it. Also milkshakes are thick and glorious! We love meeting friends here, getting our ice cream and sitting on the benches outside....and have a wonderful time making summer memories. I hope the Cup is here when my kids grow up and one day bring their families too. read more

After my kids and I were throwing some balls down the old lanes (bowling), we had a hankering for some ice cream. I knew there was a Cup on the Southside somewhere and thanks to Yelp we found my way there. If you've been to their main store, then you pretty much know what to expect here. Homemade ice cream and treats. This was no exception here. They had many hard ice cream flavors to choose from but I didn't really look at the selection because we all decided on soft serve. The guy working was super nice and we were there in the early afternoon so it wasn't crowded. Prices are reasonable. For 2 kids sizes and 1 small it was a little over $8. They have seating inside or if it's nice out you can sit outside in the courtyard. Plenty of tables and chairs and benches to enjoy. This is a cute little area. Prepare for on street meter parking. Pack some quarters! read more

Great homemade local ice cream. The Cup speaks for itself as it's been around for a very long time. They make a true half gallon and it's soo good read more

We've gone twice and ice cream is so good. We definitely would recommend very family friendly!

Greatest Spot for Ice Cream! I come here just for the mint Oreo ice cream. And my wife had her first waffle and ice cream here. Let's just say she loved it, because now I had to buy a waffle maker at home. read more

I had a small black raspberry ice cream and it was really good. There were decent sized chunks of raspberries and it was very rich. BTW, all the people complaining about the limited number of samples you can have - get over it. How many freaking samples do you need? It's not like they have these exotic type of flavor combos like jack fruit with mango. Overall, if you want some solid ice cream, check it out. read more

The best ice cream in town! They always have a ton of flavors to choose from, and each one is delicious. All of the employees are happy and friendly. My wife and I often like to mix and match flavors. Unfortunate you can only do that with a large. Their quart size ice cream is at a can't beat price. When the lines get long ans sometime they can we just grab one of those and eat it back at home. read more

There isn't too much to say about this ice cream shop. I had a hankering for a malted milkshake today and I wasn't going to stop until I got one! I'm glad I came here. For $5.60, I got a regular size malted milkshake made with the Cookie Monster ice cream. I believe this ice cream flavor is actually vanilla ice cream with Oreo pieces and cookie dough pieces, too. I never had a blue milkshake before, and I felt kind of happy and childlike when I got it. And the milkshake itself was just so incredibly good. I was in milkshake heaven for a bit. The malt is just perfect for the Cookie Monster flavor, too. read more

The Cup - a person holding a toothbrush and drinking water - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

My friend Tiffany and I came here on October 7th, 2016. We had been meaning to visit for a while, but before then we just couldn't seem to get over there. I love the old fashioned environment, they even play 60's music! Since I'm a 60's nut, that scored a point with me. I tried to snap a few pictures during our visit, but it was hard to do without looking weird. So the few pics I did get, I took them very discreetly. I ordered my ice cream in a cup, and since I was doing the "low carb" thing at the time, I got 2 of their sugar free options (Butter Pecan and Moose tracks). My friend Tiffany got their.... Um... Can someone please help me out? I forgot what its called. But it's a pastry, filled with apple... So yeah, that's what she got, lol. We ate our ice cream on the benches outside, because it was a little crowded inside (early evening, just got dark). It was really good, and I would certainly come back. Its just refreshing to see a place like this, so nostalgic in a "jazz everything up" age. The portions are decent and so is the price. I would like to try their regular ice cream on a cone though, because... Well who wouldn't? lol. But even the sugar free was good. Give them a try, looks like it's a good place to bring a first date, or the kids. read more

Really good ice cream and cheap! $3.50 for a 'small' but its really a double scoop.

We usually gravitate over to this location as opposed to the home office over on Linden Street due to it always being less busy. The selection of flavors is less and even though the staff seems to not know how to make a proper milkshake it still hits the spot every time. Parking is on the street and if Lehigh is not on break it will be interesting at best. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting The Cup while I was in Bethlehem, PA for a weekend retreat with a church group. We walked from Moravian College (I was told it was a short stroll, not so much the case) and then used the walk back to enjoy our ice cream and burn those extra calories we'd just gained. There were plenty of options of ice creams and the place was PACKED. It was a summer weeknight evening and the line was out the door. We moved through it quickly and even though they were slammed the gentleman who was helping me was completely patient as I looked through the variety of flavors and asked for samples. Gold star to him! I finally decided on a double scoop of peach and it was delicious! Kudos on the staffing, kudos on the ice cream taste/texture/deliciousness, and kudos on obviously being a favorite place for the local community. When I'm back in town I will certainly visit again. read more

Lots of options, good ice cream. Not a very appealing indoor space but nice outdoor area.

terrible service , i would not recommend anyone go here . very unsanitary and gross. the ice cream has mold . the worker couldn't even count my pretzel sticks . idiot gave me 3 when i paid for 5 . this is unreal . please save ur money and time and don't go here . i had the squirts for 5 days after because it's so bad ... read more

Best ice cream I ever had and Plenty of homemade creamy flavors! It's a family tradition to go to the cup.

I have been here over the summer and the kids that waited on us were really friendly. If you asked me to review this place a year ago when I lived on campus square I would have given it 2 stars. I don't know if the one "rude girl" still works there but it was always such a struggle to get a chocolate shake made without an eye roll. Once a friend of mine who is a very sweet, calm person got in argument with "rude girl" about her attitude problem. Perhaps she's still lingering around giving people dirty looks but I haven't seen her. I might have to update this. Besides "rude girl" they have awesome milkshakes and great ice cream when there is no attitude. They have a nice patio area in the square where you can sit and enjoy the weather or take a stroll around Lehigh's beautiful campus. read more

Okay first thing you notice is that they have caution tape on everything. The virus only spreads if you sit apparently. Second thing you'll notice is a sign saying no groups bigger than 2. Again the virus can't kill you if you only have two people with you duh. Also if you have small kids i guess you'll have to leave one of them outside in Bethlehem because you can't go in. Restaurants everywhere are open but can't get ice cream with your child and sit down. Third thing , when we walked in, the girl behind the counter was just staring at us awkwardly, we said hello, she literally said nothing, didn't even acknowledge us. Maybe she should quit since she can't even say hello, she must hate working there. Fourth fucking thing, they give you cones that already have a wrapper glued on. Glued on. You have to literally rip it off trying not to destroy your cone and then you get to eat the glue. Fuck this place. If they weren't in a college campus they would be closed already. Better off buying ice cream at the store. read more

I used to frequent their other location when I was a student at Lehigh before this one existed and I have very fond memories of it. As I am in town with my boyfriend and want to show him around, we decided to take advantage of the 84 degree weather we're having today and go get a scoop each. I must say I was disappointed - mainly by the service. The girl serving the ice cream had a poor attitude and really ruined the experience for all of us. The old location allowed up to 2 flavors in a small cup (1 very large scoop) and she very rudely told me no when I asked for 2 flavors here. The one flavor I got, chocolate almond wasn't that good but the coffee fudge my friend got was tasty and the chocolate chip my boyfriend got was YUM...so as far as the ice cream, I give it 4 stars but the service needs a LOT of help... read more

Gonna say meh on this one- everything was fine, cute clean place and the service was fine- although the guy working there wasn't that friendly. I think everything was fine but not fantastic. read more
