I guess that means that they keep it pretty clean. They had some items on the wall as an homage to the old Royale Dairy; I'm not sure if they have any actual association with the Royale, but it's neat to see a slice of Mifflin County history. My mother worked at the Royale Dairy. They sell Hershey's ice cream, which is relatively common around here, but that's okay because it's a solid product. I ordered a small mint chocolate chip, and I got about two and a half scoops piled high on the sugar cone, all for $2.32. Good deal. The ice cream was frozen hard, too, which makes a difference when you take it outside in the summer. Nothing special, but it's always nice to have another hand-dipped ice cream joint within striking distance.

Though the line at the counter can get a little busy, the workers are efficient and the layout of the market makes it not to feel too crowded. It was nice to not have to walk too far for our pumpkin needs, and they have a great selection overall.

Good food takes time and when everything is made to order, that is what is expected! I got the Teriyaki Steak Tips....they were tasty and cooked perfect! My wife got the chicken mashed potato bowl, think of KFC famous bowl, but homemade. Hearty and comforting for sure! We shared fresh cut fries and every meal comes with housemade bread with a side of their onion butter (at least thats what it tasted like). I could've tried about 40 different things off this menu, come hungry, because they feed you and there is dessert after. They make their own ice cream, I got a delicious Chocolate Marshmallow Shake! My wife got a soft serve twist. I want to go back to try their mini personal ice cream cakes! Check it out, right off of 322 towards state college!

As fate would have it, my Adventure Buddy and I found ourselves in State College on National Ice Cream Day, and there was absolutely no way I was leaving town without finally visiting the home of my favorite ice cream flavor ever...Monkey Business (banana ice cream, peanut butter swirl, chocolate chips). I'd fallen in love with Monkey Business last summer after trying it at an ice cream shop close to my house, but somehow I'd never actually made it to the Creamery itself. Correcting that oversight immediately became part of the day's adventure plan! We arrived around 12:30 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, fully expecting National Ice Cream Day to mean complete chaos. Surprisingly, it wasn't. Busy? Absolutely. But the line moved quickly, everyone seemed to know exactly what they were doing and the whole operation ran like a well-oiled ice cream machine. Then I looked around. Cheese. Sticky buns. Chocolate milk. Bagels. Ice cream. Ice cream. More ice cream. At one point I turned to my Adventure Buddy and said..."I could live here." Ordering couldn't have been easier. First, you tell the cashier whether you're getting a cone, bowl or shake and pay. Then you move down to the ice cream counter, where you pick your flavor. Finally...you wait for your number to be called so someone can hand you what can only be described as an absurdly generous serving of happiness. While I waited, I sampled the Grilled Stickies flavor. Big mistake! It was phenomenal! For approximately fifteen seconds, I seriously considered abandoning my beloved Monkey Business and trying something new. Fortunately...I came to my senses. Monkey Business and I have history together. When my number was called, the gentleman behind the counter handed me a bowl that was significantly larger than I expected. And yes...I audibly squealed. Again. Right there in the middle of the Creamery. I looked at him and said, "You absolutely made my day!" Because he had. We found a table outside on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather, performed a few completely necessary happy food dances and proceeded to enjoy every glorious bite of what is still, without question, my favorite ice cream flavor on Earth. For only $6. On National Ice Cream Day. Honestly, I don't know how that day could've gotten any better. PRO TIP: Don't skip the sample spoon! There are so many incredible flavors that it's worth trying something new before committing. Just be warned...you may accidentally discover another favorite! I also learned that Berkey Creamery ships ice cream to the lower 48 states. This information feels...dangerous. Living only about an hour and a half away, I probably don't need to have Monkey Business shipped directly to my house. But...I may have to test the process someday. You know...in the name of science! If you're anywhere near State College, do yourself a favor and make the stop. Whether you're a Penn State fan, an ice cream enthusiast or just someone who appreciates an exceptionally well-run small operation, Berkey Creamery absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. WE ARE...ICE CREAM HEAVEN!

That said, while there are some really wonderful features of their ice cream, particularly the texture of small chocolate chunks they embed, it's not actually the greatest ice cream in existence. The chocolate is too milky, the mint too green and artificial, etc. It might make more sense to think of it as exemplary commercial rather than distinctly artisinal?
