Berkey Creamery's ice cream is the best I have ever had and it is a great Penn State landmark and tradition. My favorite flavor is death by chocolate . Go try it, you won't be disappointed!

Djaniella D.

HUGE servings but AMAZING taste at reasonable prices. They even offer dry ice if you want to take some of the deliciousness home with you! Traveled 7 hours and the ice cream was still hard as rock.

George Lee

Peachy paterno is excellent. Line goes out the door but moves pretty quickly.

Nathan

Death By Chocolate is a killer. Definitely ranked in my top three ice cream shops . Wish I could have stayed and tried all the flavors but got away with a few gallons in the cooler packed with dry-ice.

Alan Grieger

The ice cream is unreal! I recommend the Monkey Business in a cup. They give you sooooo much that a cup is necessary to avoid spillage.

Krissy Trainer

Get the cookie dough in a shake . It's a delicious vanilla shake at first and then when you get to the bottom you have all the cookie dough bites to enjoy with a spoon

LANE GROSSER

Last time I was here Joe Paterno walked through the dining area and I was star struck. Feeling bittersweet :( but going for Death by Chocolate (perfect indulgence for a chocolate lover!)

Jake Smith

Grab a half gallon of your favorite flavor before making a trip home; the staff can pack it to keep it from melting AND your parents will be so happy with you!

Matthew Coll

Alumni swirl is a favorite. Milkshakes . Coffee , cappuccino , irvings bagels , psu bakery doughnuts . Creamery milk and dairy products.

Guerrera De Pelo Castaño

The coffee is really good as the ice cream . Also you should try the cheeses and dips , you will add at your grocery list.

Heather

Best ice cream EVER! Be warned - you get a lot more ice cream in the cone than you do in the cup! Gotta get Peachy Paterno :) WE ARE!!!!

Drew Sickler

Make sure to get the Peanut Butter Swirl with sprinkles !

Atika Al-Bimani

Excellent place. Superb ice-cream. I wish we have that in my country Oman

PSU-Lion Di

USA TODAY asked local experts to name one great ice cream shop in each state:The Creamery=PA's top pick! Pumpkin Pie when in season; Alumni Swirl or Death by Chocolate anytime. Sadly, "vanilla " isn'

Jessica Devlin

Creamery ice cream is very high in fat and the staff give large portions . Don't hesitate to ask for a smaller portion. The staff doesn't mind and it saves some calories!

Foodspotting

The butter pecan ice cream is Soraya’s favorite cone in America! This is the oldest creamery in Pennsylvania and has always been run by Penn State University’s Agriculture School.

Kathleen Warner

A penn state visit isn't complete without a visit to the creamery. You can't go wrong with the Bittersweet Mint or the WPSU Coffee Break .

Emily Stubler

Delicious ice cream , but watch yourself. Extremely high fat content ice cream . Only treat yourself every so often or else you'll regret it! All good things in moderation....

Ivy

Go for the chocolate chip mint on a cone (then ask for the cup) and take home four tubs, lol. Best ice cream evererrr

Ted

Delicious, creamy, fresh. Everything you could want in an ice cream .

Amanda Coble

Best ice-cream in State College. If you are a coconut fan, try the coconut ice-cream! It has pieces of coconut mixed in!

Brian Aubele

Chocolate is smooth and delicious.. Death by Chocolate is very good.

Ken

Great location to get fresh local dairy product and support the department.

Michelle Campbell

Get a milkshake ! They make it from any kind of available ice cream and you can even mix flavors! Yum!

Scott Stilson

Death by Chocolate is indeed the best ice cream flavor in all of Happy Valley. Do give it a try.

Vincent Corso

The ice cream is of high quality, and they give you enough for two people. I'll just keep mine to myself though, thank you. Yum!

DV Green🌀

Skip the line and do straight to the freezer for your selection. TY BP for this ProTip™️

Nikki Soon

Any ice cream flavor is good! Hot chocolate is love😍

Aashique Rezwan

I like all the flavour they offer. It is the best.

Leroy Gray

If you love mushrooms like I do, they sell them by the pound for only $2!!

Devin Boyer

The Philly pretzels they sell during the day are free later in the evening so that they can get rid of them!

Justin Blose

Cookies and creme milkshake is always the best when I go there

Penn State Dance Marathon (THON)

Happy Happy Joy Joy isn’t just an ice cream flavor ! Penn State students participate in THON each year to bring joy to children with cancer.

Travis Cordes

Buy a coffee travel mug for $7.99 and get 70 cent refills as long as you still have the mug. And it's pretty good coffee !

Kara

If you're in State College you have to stop at the Creamery. Peanut Butter Cup ice cream . Yum!

Dan Alex

Ice Cream - The best that I have ever had.

Allan Kintz

Get a couple half gallons "to go" and they'll pack it in a cold bag with dry ice ! Good for a few hour drive home if you're just visiting.

Okuna Sainbayar

Blueberry Cheesecake is my favorite flavor!

Scott Given

Groundhog ... thanks Phil for prognosticating that Spring is just around the corner ... it will soon be time to stop by for a Penn State Creamery cone in the warm sunshine! Happy Groundhog Day!

David Lovette
