    Vanilla Cake Crunchy
    Payal P.

    I love the decor of this place...it has a clean 70s diner shop vibe. There is a ton of booth seats in the front of the store. The back has a couch, a big vending machine for bouncy balls, and a shuffleboard. This ice cream place is located right on 309. I got the Vanilla Cake Crunchy which was delicious. I really liked the cake texture with the crunch in the ice cream. The ice cream tasted hella fresh. The place also has smoothies, milkshakes, Italian ice, and sundaes. There is definitely a good selection. There is outdoor seating in the back as well which faces a baseball field.

    Vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream was less sweet than regular ice cream and it was good. Scoop pumpkin ice cream was very good. Butter pecan ice cream with coconut ice cream and hot fudge was good. Brother enjoyed Banana Foster ice cream. Also tried butterscotch ice cream and butter brickle ice cream. Inside Scoop is an awesome 50's style ice cream shop.

    Some of the best ice cream around! They have lots of great flavors that change every day. Lots of indoor seating in two vintage style rooms, picnic tables outside, and a drive-thru! The antique looking gas pump is also a Tesla charging station, so there's a good excuse to get ice cream. And don't forget to take a picture with Giant Chip!

    This is must try if you are in the local area. Every time I am in the area it is a must stop for some of the beat Home-made ice cream around. FRIENDLY Staff and always changing flavors

    Best selection of flavors....great decor...friendly staff...just took my mom there to top of our amazing day at the zoo and Crackerbarrel....we even refused dessert there so we could go get yummy ice cream!!...the way to my mom's heart...peanut butter ice cream!!! And I love their chocolate pecan....we got cones this time...but their sundaes are amazing!!! ..you will not be disappointed....from 2 diehard ice cream lovers!!!

    "Chip" The Giant Ice Cream Man!! [no doubt a refurbished Rt66 muffler man statue] COOL!!

    Nothing says "Get in here and try our delicious homemade Ice Cream" like a Ginormous 30 foot Ice Cream Man armed with a Huge Scooper in one hand and a Massive Ice Cream Cone in the other. So I decided to stop in and get the inside scoop on the Inside Scoop.   Now I gotta say that this place is Totally Legit and it's a very unique shop that happily serves up Lots of flavor choices on some really delicious homemade ice cream plus You can tell the People who work here are Ginormously friendly which makes for a pretty cool experience. I ordered two scoops of Chocolate in a Waffle Cone with Sprinkles which I ate in My truck and it was some of the best homemade ice cream that I've enjoyed in a very long time.   Side note: word is they serve up espresso from a machine that was imported from Holland. So I'm definitely stopping back next time to check out that situation as well as try Alot more flavors off their menu. Come And Get Your Munch On!!  ;D

    Yes, yes, yes! I loved this ice cream shop! It's 100% worth it if you're around the area. The inside feels very retro, which I love, and they have multitudes of flavors. Honestly, something for everyone there. Tip: their kids is plenty. But their small is definitely plenty! Fun fact: they have an electric charging station in the parking lot and it looks like an old gas pump. It's Tesla. Very friendly service as well! And plenty of seating inside!

    This is THE BEST icecream place in Allentown according to Yours Truly. It's stuck In time and that is what is so very special about this place. And it's one of a kind! A total time-warp with insanely delicious icecream concoctions to boot! #icecream #timewarp #Allentown #pennsylvania

The parking lot is shared with another company so it can get crowded. The inside has an open area so the line can curl around and towards the door. You can eat in a small area along the front window or find a table. Space is limited so a lot of people opted to just eat outside. There's a big chalkboard along the wall that my kid got a kick out of drawing on. The staff was mostly friendly young kids. They have a lot of flavors to choose from. I went with a small cookies and cream. The serving was pretty big! I have to say I agree with some other Yelpers that it's good ice cream, but it's not GREAT blow your mind away in the flavor department. My son got a mix of vanilla and chocolate and I felt the same way when I sampled his, it was good, but missing a notch or two in the flavor department ..... Of course he thought it was awesome and the best ice cream in the world! Prices were $7.25 for a couple of scoops in a cup. I thought it was pretty fair. Good stuff, but not great. My expectations were much higher for the lines I've seen this place have. Thanks guys!

There were six associates behind the counter. Only two were working. The others was goofing off. I wanted to leave, but I also wanted to try this ice cream because I've heard such great things about it I got the rum raisin ice cream because you can't find that particular flavor everywhere. The ice cream itself was a 10 out of 10 for flavor and texture. But my overall experience with The Udder Bar was a 3 for customer service. It shouldn't take almost and hour to get ice cream with 6 people behind the counter. Most likely I will not be returning.
