Really good ice cream. The flavors we got were chocolate chip cookie dough, alumni swirl and happy happy joy joy. Good creamy texture. We ordered single scoops, which was more than enough after eating lunch near by. Worker was friendly and the space was nice with seating inside and outside.

Was not that excited initially but it was great! Even the kid scoop was huge. The ice cream was thick and creamy. Got the peach flavor and I recommend!

Very very good ice cream! Located across from the Bethlehem hotel, this ice cream parlor offers several flavored ice cream choices that are well made with a perfect blend of flavor and cream. We ordered the strawberry ice cream and the cookies and cream milk shake which were perfect! We noticed several people had the ice cream sandwiches which looked very good too. The parlor itself had a cozy feel, nicely decorated and spacious. Would highly recommend visiting this place.

Absolutely AMAZING ice cream! Definitely a must-stop for ice cream, milk shake, and frozen dairy treat lovers! One of my personal favorite ice cream spots in Bethlehem. Highly recommend a visit.

The Ice Cream Is Great. The Flavors I Got Were Mint Chocolate, Which Is My Favorite And Is Very Minty. The Other Flavor Is A Special Peach. It Was A Good Balance Ice Cream Flavor. It Is Hands Down Great! The Banana Split Was Good. You Are Able To Pick 3 Flavors For The Banana Split. The Seltzer Was Tasteless, But It Could Have Been Due To The Mont Flavor Ice Cream. The Atmosphere Is Cool, Calm, And Fancy. The Service Was Good With Friendly Employees. You Should Try It.

This is my first experience with the fabled Penn State Creamery, and the ice cream was amazing. It has a better, thicker texture than most ice creams. The parlor was nice and clean. The reason for four stars is that I had a banana-based ice cream and the banana flavor did not come through. But it also had nice chocolate chips and peanut butter swirl.

I really enjoyed our visit to the Hotel B ice cream shop today and I’m pleased with this new use of the space; (had been to the location previously when it was a different restaurant). This location is easy to access with street parking. Service was lovely and the server was sweet to my 7mo. Decor featured local highlights as well as PSU decals. Prices were reasonable and the portions felt generous to me. I bought two fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for $1.50 a piece and each was a larger sized cookie. I’ve put them in the freezer for future kid treats. The Peachy Paterno ice cream flavor ($3.30 for one scoop) is one of my favorites and today didn’t disappoint! I hope this parlor stays around for a while!

Most delicious Ice Cream in Downtown Bethlehem. The service is good and the variety of flavors is vast.Credit cards and Apple Pay are accepted.The place is a little bit small, but I normally buy the Ice Cream and enjoy it in the benches on Main street.Totally recommended!

We’re happy to see that the Hotel B has expanded their ice cream shop! The move was much needed and is a fabulous addition to Main Street. The interior design is beautiful!

Best ice cream in the Lehigh Valley. Tons of flavors from the Penn State Creamery. Large scoops and inexpensive.

Let me start out with the positive. The Ice Cream we were able to taste was awesome. I had the Vanilla with the maraschino cherry and my Mom had the Coffee Ice Cream. Now onto the bad. My elderly parents ages 84 and 89 were visiting from out of state after getting their Covid 19 shot. My Mom has had two strokes and my Dad is beginning stages Alzheimers. This is the first time they have been to visit Bethlehem. We had a great dinner at a restaurant in town and decided to walk to the creamery for desert. When we arrived in the creamery there was no one in there but two young people serving. We ordered our Ice Cream and walked back to a corner to eat it. There were no tables in there to sit. I understand Covid and the aspect of social distancing but looking around they have room for a couple tables that could be spaced 6 feet or more apart. . The young man who served us proceeded to tell us that we had to leave and eat outside. I understand he was doing what his boss told him and hold nothing against him. But we were the only ones in there. What they did was to kick two elderly people outside in 30 degree weather to eat Ice Cream. We had to dump the Ice Cream in a trash because my Mom could not stand out in the cold eating Ice Cream. They need to rethink their policies. Will not be supporting them again and this is always a stop when we have dinner in this beautiful city which about once every 2 or 3 months. Lastly they were not making any of the Moravian Sugar Cake as the server told us because they are not busy enough. Well why are you not busy enough is because you are turning people away by making them eat Ice Cream outside in the middle of winter.

A delightful and bright space featuring Penn State Creamery ice cream . You are greeted by a cheerful team who is waiting to craft a delicious cream creation especially for you. Many types of baked goods are available to be featured in your sundae from fruit pies to Moravian sugar cake. It is a lovely addition to the shops on Main street in Bethlehem. There are also many types of old time candies available for purchase. Worth checking out!

I am never disappointed! They’re kid sized cone is more than enough for an adult. I sometimes can’t finish! I almost always get the alumni swirl, but have enjoyed every other flavor I have tried. They’ve also done really well in keeping things safe and clean during reopening. Clearly marked social distancing for the line, masks required for entry, available sanitizer, plexiglass to protect the food, and 100% contact-free payment. Everyone working is masked and wearing gloves.

Was all excited to get this ice cream the website said they closed at 10 but they put a paper up stating they are closing at 9:00pm due to weather and it was not even raining. We tried to get in at 9:02pm Knocked on the door to try and the girl just ignored us!!! Terrible service!!

Really a minus 1 star. The website says closes at 10:00, the door says closes at 10:00...,but when we got there at 9:08 they were closed. As employees left they explained during slow times closes at 9:00. You need to update website at least so you don’t make trip there to find out the sad news 🙁

Poorly managed. Came for hot chocolate, was told it would be 5-10 minutes. Waited for 15 minutes, after which I inquired if its ready yet. They replied they just handed out the last of it (to the three customers in front of me, who were waiting 15+ minutes), and told me it would be another 5-10 minutes. I walked out.
