3B Ice Cream (Dauphin) — Restaurant in Middle Paxton Township

New favorite ice cream spot—wish we’d come sooner!

As a local mom and publisher of Macaroni KID, I spend a lot of time checking out family-friendly places—and 3B Ice Cream came highly recommended by my readers. I finally stopped by with my (very energetic and very damp) crew, and let me tell you: you all did not steer me wrong.

The staff were friendly and completely unphased when we showed up with multiple kids soaked from what started as an innocent “just go in the creek, but only up to your knees” situation (spoiler: no one stopped at their knees). No judgment—just smiles, great service, and giant portions of delicious ice cream.

Everything was super tasty, the prices were fair, and the serving sizes were so generous my kids couldn’t finish theirs—which, if you know my kids, is saying something.

Whether you’re local or just passing through, this place is 100% worth a stop. Bonus: your kids will be too busy eating to argue for a solid seven minutes. That’s what we call a...

They have rotating flavors for seasonal times and do sundaes and milkshakes as well. Like I've said, no real big complaints and the hand dipped ice cre is the...

I’ve been going here for years and I can say the ice cream is delicious. We went in September 9th 2019, and I got a sundae and it was just liquid and in a cup instead of the actual dish it comes in so I couldn’t even eat it without spilling it. so I asked politely if I could just have my money back and the 2 little boys working argued with me about why I didn’t want it. Finally after 5 minutes of arguing they agreed to return my money and then proceeded to gossip about the situation as if it were middle school and I wasn’t still standing there. I have to say I’m disappointed a place with such good ice cream is so cheap with labor that they hire such young, impolite kids. You could get better service out of...
