The coconut chip is the best!! Make sure you bring a cooler to bring a half gallon home. We always bring home at least 5. They supply the dry ice.

Yes, we waited in line for 25 minutes, but it was worth it! I had the Death by Chocolate. It was absolutely yummy! It wasn't too rich, just perfection.. The flakes in the chocolate only enhanced the flavor. We also tried the chocolate chip cookie dough and the Keeney Beany Chocolate. Both were delicious. I wish they sold a smaller... More

If your stopping in State College, you have to go here to get ice cream. The line may be long for cones (suggestion - skip the lines and buy a half gallon) but it is worth the wait. My favorite - blackberry yogart, which unfortunately they don't have all of the time.

We were there on a Thursday. There was no wait. The girl at the counter wasn't sure what type of cone they had which was a little strange. We ended up having cups. There is only one size for the take out. You can purchase varied sizes of containers from what they call a dixie cup to a half gallon.... More

everything is great here. There was no wait. There are plenty of outside tables under umbrellas to enjoy the mountains while slurping the luscious, creamy creations. They can pack it in dry ice, if you want to take some with you for later.

You will have to wait in a line for this place, but the ice cream is worth it. You wouldn't think it would be possible to differentiate ice-cream, but this place does. Definitely worth the wait--if you want both a cone and dish, order a "happy". If you want to buy a container, you can avoid the lines altogether and... More

The student-run creamery is always good, always busy, and always worth the long wait to get served. They'll package the ice cream to take home for a small price. Their various chocolate varieties are still my favorite.
