3b Ice Cream (dauphin)

I stopped here on a road trip, and to be honest I'm not sure how it attracts so many people way out here, but it is awesome. The area is wooded and gorgeous, and there are picnic tables for seating. The ice cream is DELICIOUS and they have both soft and hard (hand dipped) ice cream. The flavors are so good I'm tempted to make the 2 hour trek from Dc from time to time just for this. They have no stickers indicating they take cards so I panicked briefly, but they definitely do accept them. Great prices, great service!!!!

Great location, and friendly service. The ice cream, I thought, was just ok. But that's just my opinion on the milkshake. Great parking with a park in the backyard, I'm sure the locals love it.

Probably one of the best kept secrets in Leigh Valley. A wonderful ice cream parlor and the blueberry sundae is phenomenal. A mix of fresh and macerated blueberries, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, crushed peanuts was devine. And for $5 what a steal.

We spotted 3B on the way to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park and decided to stop by on the way home. Once I saw the sign Blueberry Sundae, I was sold. 3B has 4 locations: this one, which is the original and opened up back in 1969, one in Duncannon and two in Harrisburg. Back in the day, they made their own ice cream but now they serve 13 flavors from Turkey Hill and 18 flavors from Gallikers of Johnstown. One of the Gallikers flavors Almond Joy is made exclusively for 3B. This location is right off the Appalachian Trail. Pretty cool. Plenty of parking, picnic tables and even a port a potty. Great service and huge portions.

Bit expensive but definitely a good place to go when it's hot and you want that creamy cold feeling in your mouth
