Yup, another ice cream place. When most restaurants are closed or you are not certain if eating at a new place in less than ideal circumstances is wise, the ice cream still beckons. Often you can be served at a window but you can tell pretty quickly if it seems clean and well prepared in the Year of Covid. This one ticked off all boxes labeled “concern” and as a bonus it had very good ice cream. Excellent really. Lots of flavor choices and very reasonable prices and nice people. As most ice cream people are. Down of the Farm farm is two miles south of Strausburg and we did not go there, save that for the next trip but we ate twice (or three times?) at the store near the Strasburg train station. The place was neat, clean, and had milk and homemade fudge and other treats. There were several young kids there as well and one very young girl was practicing weighing out candy. She would fill a bag, take it to the scale, weigh it and recored the price, then do it all over again. I had a very interesting cone here, chocolate carmal espresso. Had some whole coffee beans in the mix. Loved it and the key lime pie. Other flavors tried by the group included black raspberry, butter brickle, salted carmel pretzel and a mint. Not a bad taste in the batch. We still love Lapps but now we may alternate ice cream in the land of Lancaster.
