My favorite ice cream stand anywhere. Specialty sundaes based with homemade cakes (think Tandy cake, brownie, apple dumplings) and to die for toppings. Grab some ice cream and sit on the Adirondack chairs that surround a beautifully landscaped pond. The ambiance is wonderful. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. The gift shop has handmade and non-handmade gifts. I can go on (but then I'd be gushing!). Tell them Michelle sent you! Oh and make sure to sign up for their weekly updates for those homemade sundaes. They have a wonderful garden shop with a huge assortment of plants, shrubs, annuals and perennials. read more

The Potting Bench - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - South Williamsport, Pennsylvania

Lovely place. Nice selection of items. Good employees. Ice cream a treat after going for a walk.

This is possibly the best ice cream shop I've ever been too!! the staff behind the count are so nice when ordering our ice cream. there is just enough options where it's not overwhelming. The ice cream is not over priced especially the the amount you get. I was so surprised that a small is three whopping scoops they certainly do not shy away. Additionally the flavors are delicious my PA favorite is the teaberry icecream it taste like root beer and mint in a strange manner but it's the best flavor and a must try if you haven't. I love how the ice cream shop is combined with the garden it's such a great idea as it puts off a calming and happy environment that sets the mood right. If you haven't tried this cute ice cream shop I certainly recommend!!! read more

We feel very fortunate to have found this place. We were just passing through town. It's the most adorable ice cream shop I've ever been to. It's also an adorable nursery with beautiful flower displays. Right now, the sunflowers are spectacular. I had delicious chocolate malt. My husband enjoyed coconut cream and blackberry. Our dog loved the pup cup; vanilla soft serve with a dog biscuit. Highly recommend! read more

A beautiful little spot on Matthews Boulevard. A giant pergola, draped with flowers, to sit under and enjoy your ice cream. They partner with the farm outside of Harrisburg to get most of their vegetables. All the staff is extremely nice. Apparently they've been open for a few years but just open the ice cream stand about a month ago. We purchased some produce and couple ice cream floats. You should stop by and check it out! read more
