The Top 4 Ice Cream Places You Can Drive to From Lancaster, OH

Ice cream is a way of life in Lancaster, OH … or, at least, it could be, because there are some hopping little shops where you can pick up some creamy dessert delight served happily and creatively by proud purveyors. These days, nobody is going to blink twice if you order a bowl or a cone any time of year (and it can get pretty snowy in these parts). In hot weather or cold, here are a few places where you can pick up your favorite pick-me-up.

Extreme Creamery

You can tell that this spot wants to bring the fun! You probably won’t see your servers drop down wearing parachutes or marathoning over to you, but they are known for their all-around good mood. Specialties here include big, thick shakes; slab-rolled style; and dipped cones stacked high. Try the Extreme S’more or Cookie Monster shake (with cookies included), or flavors like Death by Chocolate, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and strawberry cheesecake.

Nancy’s Scoops

A little different, Nancy’s offers soft-serve cups, splits, and sundaes, plus hand-dipped cones. There are milkshakes and parfaits, too. You can lay a foundation of savory sandwiches, coney dogs, cheeseburgers, and more before you dive into the sweet stuff. Enjoy the old-fashioned dinery atmosphere full of vintage tables and chairs and historic memorabilia. Get an Arctic Swirl with mint Oreo, cookie dough, chocolate-covered cherry, Reese’s Pieces, and lots more.

Santino’s

This is a well-loved sandwich shop that also offers 8 flavors of hand-dipped scoops in your choice of a bowl or the more tempting waffle, sugar, or cake cone. Their milkshakes are favorites, but why don’t you up the ante and go for the Hot Fudge Brownie Delight, a warm brownie topped with a French vanilla scoop, hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and … the classic cherry. Or get a frozen treat sandwich style between their very own cookies.

Falcon’s Nest

People love this funky little local spot where they get great value. You can do burgers, chicken strips, grilled cheese, or the signature fishtail sandwich here before you pile on the dessert if you like. Banana splits, soft-serve cones, sundaes, milkshakes, and hand-dipped options are available, plus the Frosty Falcon with candy add-ins, or the Falcon Float. You’ll feel like you’re back in time when you order at the window from the board with all those movable letters!


Imagine rolling down Route 22 or 33 to go get frozen goodies in your fun new Kia Rio S! If you want to ensure room so that nobody melts on anyone else, try out a certified pre-owned Kia Soul LX, a perennial favorite. Either model can be yours: just pop on over to Coughlin Kia of Lancaster and scoop one up!
