What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Main Street Creamery is praised for its delicious homemade ice cream with unique and classic flavors, generous portions, and friendly service. Customers appreciate the charming atmosphere and the availability of vegan options. However, some reviews mention issues with staff rudeness and inconsistent availability of specific items like apple fritters.
"This place has the best ice cream in the game. Honestly I have tried so many of the flavors here and never once have I been disappointed. Everything is made with such care and the staff that they have working here are always so delightful and friendly and they seem like they genuinely enjoy helping you pick out your ice cream. I am telling you if there is one place in wellsboro to stop at it is this ice cream parlor."

"Atmosphere- 4 stars- located in an old stately two story house on Main Street- this ice cream shop claims to have Homemade Ice Cream. Beautiful inside with hardwood floors and a feel of early 20th century America. There is an old fashioned soda bar in a separate room and ofcourse the ice cream parlor in an adjacent room. Some seating inside or you could sit outside on the front porch and people watch.
Service- 3 stars- young lady behind the counter was friendly but when you pay she flips the payment screen and says if you want to leave a tip you can. This is a pet peeve of mine to be constantly expected to tip and I find it inappropriate to basically ask for one.
Food- 4 stars- not sure if this is actually Homemade ice cream but either way it was still really good. I got the salted caramel Kit Kat which I have never seen. I enjoyed it while sitting out on the front porch."
Honest Reviews
"They don't charge you for the aromatherapy you receive by walking into this place. It is heavenly.
The staff are wonderful: courteous, friendly, and prompt.
The interior js filled with warm natural wood tones and comfy places to sit.
I felt like I was in a day spa instead of getting ice cream.
The ice cream was delicious: well balanced, not too hard, generous portions. I happily ruined my appetite for "real lunch food"- sometimes, as adults, these are the choices we make.
Flavors tried: strawberry cheesecake & butterfinger.
We did not get to try the floats (pictured) but we really wanted to!"

Traveling to Wellsboro late October (York, Jersey Shore: rent, hotel, houses) - Pennsylvania (PA)
There are enough places to eat, Tony's, Red Skillet, The Roost, Timeless Destination, Penn Wells, Main Street Creamery for ice cream, etc. Again due to covid hysteria and the end of the tourist season, some of these businesses may have varying or changing hours or may be closed completely on a certain day so check ahead. Sunday is typically quiet day in Wellsboro, so a lot of shops and restaurants close on Sunday anyways.
