Candy Mountain Creamery is a small, family-owned operation that creates small batch, handcrafted ice cream locally in Cumberland County. We source local ingredients for our ice cream and make new and creative flavors that our customers love. We also serve milkshakes, soft-serve, sundaes, locally roasted espresso drinks, acai bowls, homemade breakfast and lunch sandwiches, homemade soups, and a variety of drinks. Our Dillsburg location has outside seating as well as a warm, comfortable indoor seating area with a fireplace. Our food truck also offers our handcrafted ice cream, milkshakes, acai bowls, and locally roasted espresso drinks seasonally.

Ah, gelato… an Italian favorite! Gelato differs from ice cream in that it is richer, denser, made with milk and less cream thus less fat (4%-9%), less air and it’s served at a warmer temperature. On top of all that, gelato flavors are more intense! Have gelato in a cup or take it up a notch and try an Italian affogato which is two scoops of gelato and a shot of espresso. Want something dairy free, try a Sorbetto, a flavorful icy delight or a Fresca made with two scoops of sorbetto and sparkling water. We bring the “Wow” to your senses. If you are a foodie, you will enjoy our offerings. Discover for yourself the visual beauty, the wonderful aroma and exquisite taste that leads up to a huge smile and one word… “Wow!” We are proud to offer imported Neuhaus Belgium Chocolates plus several award-winning Artisanal chocolatiers. You will also find delicious pastries, fresh cheeses from around the world and an exceptional pantry filled with items to make delicious appetizers, charcutier boards and add flavor to any meal.
