We had a hunkering for dessert and stumbled on this creamery...best ever! So man different and exciting flavors. Salted caramel..black raspberry Oreo...yum! We ordered coffee too and it came in a French press with real cream. That's what I'm talking about! The establishment was clean and green and the staff was friendly. All of the ice cream is homemade! We... More

Carmen & David's has some of the best ice cream in the world. This is not an exaggeration. It is dense, delicious, and full of flavor. And.... their flavors are unique with original combinations. Their salty caramel is out of this world. And, try the toasted coconut with the thick, gooey hot fudge sauce. We never miss stopping in when... More

I've been known to come here when there's a break in my class on Prince St. The scoopers are always so friendly and the flavors have a lot of variety.

Very unique flavors like Molasses ice cream, blood orange sorbet, and some very crazy, funky flavors. Great decor, very friendly staff who are happy to provide tastes. Good shakes, sundaes. Nice that you can sit in the cafe and eat your ice cream

This is a cozy little ice cream parlor that makes it's own home made ice cream this is out of this world. It has limited seating that is a neat mix of left over furniture but it fits right in with the mood of the establishment! A fun place to visit either before or after a show or in fact... More

When in the city of Lancaster you have to try Carmen & David's, they make the best ice cream I've ever had and I've had a few artisan made ice creams in my travels. Their salted caramel ice cream is the best I've tasted to date, the flavor is so amazing! They also have pretzel cones which are so hard... More

This place has the best ice cream ever. It's creamy and dense, with intense flavors. You can taste-test various flavors with tiny spoons until you find your favorite. The flavors change frequently so you have the opportunity to sample many different kinds. Thankfully this is across the street from The Fulton Theater and we always stop in after the show.... More
