Emmerling is a very popular shop in this region. I've only been here a few times, but the ice cream is simply delicious! Today, I gave the peanut butter Oreo a try by ordering a full pint.
First off, I noticed how awesome the prices are! For an entire pint of homemade ice cream, you only pay $4.50. That's competitive with the brands in the grocery store, which are mass produced. These pints are very high quality, though. The peanut butter has a very natural taste, and it's perfectly balanced in sweetness and nuttiness. There are thick chunks of Oreos in here, too! Love it. Nice variety of rotating flavors (I'm looking forward to trying the pineapple sorbet). *My only caveat would be that the Cappucino Crunch might not be made in house.
I will definitely return to Emmerlings. It is now one of, if not my #1, favorite ice cram place. Competitive prices, great variety of treats, and...
Read moreI wanted so much to five-star this place, but unfortunately a couple of things didn't go that well. It's a nice family-run establishment and they do a good job with service. We arrived at 9 p.m. to get ice cream before they closed at 10; it seems that normally they offer ice water to customers who stay and eat at their tables after they order their ice cream. Unfortunately the cooler was out of water an hour before closing, and the owner just didn't want to refill it even though I asked about it (and even brought the cooler to the service window). The cappuccino ice cream made by Hershey's that they serve there isn't very good, and unfortunately it doesn't taste anything like any form of coffee. The owner was very friendly and allowed me to replace the ice cream that I didn't like with a different flavor. I thought it was definitely an indicator of very good...

The place wasn't crowded, and the girl behind the counter said it would be a "few minutes" for my hotdogs. I paid the 2 bucks and said, "No problem." A family of 3 walked up and ordered ice cream and hotdogs--within a "few minutes" they had both their ice cream and MY hotdogs. When I said something about them swiping my hotdogs, the girl behind the counter said, "Oh, I'm sorry--do you want your money back?" I said, "NO, I want my hotdogs!" She then handed me back $2 instead! I said, "I SAID I wanted the hotdogs, but never mind, I'll make them at home!" and I left. Not the end of the world, of course, but annoying after being so tired and hungry after work. I won't be stopping...
