A Hidden Gem with Phenomenal Ice Cream! If I could give this place more than five stars, I would I knew I was in for something special. The taste of the rainbow sherbet was rich and velvety, perfectly creamy without being too heavy. The staff were warm, welcoming, and happy Whether you're an ice cream fanatic or just looking for a sweet treat, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back

Nice roadside icecream stand. We just got soft serve cones, a pup cup for our four legged kid, and two soft pretzels. Everything was good. The kitchen looked clean and the outside dining area was clean too.

Good ice cream but a little on the harder side. May have been kept at too cold a temperature due to high heat levels when I was there with temperatures in the 90s. Umbrellas in sitting area protected only a part of the seating area.

We love stopping for ice cream at Gresham’s Ice Cream Shop! They have a large selection of flavors and options. All of the ice cream, except for rocky road, are certified Kosher. The staff has always been friendly to us and the line moves quickly. We like to walk across the street to eat our ice cream while walking along the dyke. Sometimes there are fireworks off in the distance making the experience very romantic. There’s plenty of parking and the shop is wheelchair accessible.

Great ice cream spot right next to lake Wallenpaupack. Pretty views and they have seating under umbrellas. Last time I came here I ordered a small ice cream cone with two hard ice cream flavors with no problem. This past weekend I go and the kid tells me she has to charge me for a large if I get two flavors. The small was giant, I have no idea why she couldn’t do it when a month prior I had no problem. Then another young girl comes over and pulls the policy card on me. It’s just ice cream, it’s no big deal- just confused what changed and was just rude about it “It’s The Policy”. Other than that never had a bad experience and love going here with my guests when we’re in the area! I’ve heard people from out of state talk about this ice cream spot Oatmeal cookie is a great flavor for any suggestions!

Pleasant staff and great ice cream. I got the white chocolate raspberry truffle and it is my favorite. I also love the combination of French vanilla, dark chocolate and caramel. So good !! Had my punch card ready and got a free one this time ! We go often since we have a vacation place a half hour away.

Took my kids to this nostalgic ice cream spot from my childhood - still just as delicious as I remembered! Tons of flavors, toppings galore, and a gorgeous view to top it off. Only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5 is the customer service; one staff member was a bit impatient with my kids (who are autistic and just needed a moment), and wasn’t too friendly when we asked about bathrooms after coming back later. But overall, it’s a sweet spot worth the stop!

Place is super cute and has over 20+ flavors to chose from. All our Hershey brand, which is delicious. They also serve food, but I didn’t get to try any. Great prices for big servings. Would definitely come back!
