Hank's Italian Ice Co. — Restaurant in Emmaus

I walked into Hank’s Italian Ice thinking, “ok cool, ice cream, how special can it be?” and then BAM — my taste buds got drop-kicked into another dimension. I ordered the cannoli ice cream and my brain short-circuited. There were actual little bits of cannoli hiding inside like it was smuggling flavor across international borders. It was like eating a slice of dessert straight outta an Italian grandma’s secret recipe book, but in ice cream form. I almost started speaking fluent Italian right there at the counter.

Then I got the vanilla soft serve and, holy dairy cow, this was not your run-of-the-mill, gas-station-swirl nonsense. This was creamy perfection. No weird chemical aftertaste, no “hmmm is this made from powdered milk in a lab?” vibes — just pure, smooth, heavenly vanilla that slapped me across the face and whispered, “you’ve been settling your whole life.”

I think Italian ice is nicer than ice cream… just more refreshing and doesn’t melt so fast. It’s creamy and they have awesome flavors to choose from. Good pricing. I’m very happy I booked them and can’t wait to visit the storefront in Emmaus. Thank you for being so nICE to...

Such a great day! We rented out the cheery cherry red bicycle cart for our daughter's graduation party. Two staff members came prepared to scoop and serve. The ice was delicious and the staff was super fun and kind. I wanted an alternative to the traditional "graduation cake" that we had at every other graduation party this year. There always seemed so much waste of cake at the end of the night. We also had a number of vegan friends and were looking for something fun for everyone to enjoy. Adults even took their scoops and added them to their cocktails for added...
