Bethlehem Dairy Store

Vintage diner style restaurant space staffed by motivated young people who serve up delicious treats with a smile. This place is a community gem, it’s a must patron location.

Great ice cream & other treats! Many flavors to choose from, all homemade. If you plan to eat there, there isn't much seating at all inside. You'll have to go outside. Not ideal when it's cold out. Best to take it to go. We've gotten an ice cream cake from there this past weekend. 1/4 sheet. You get to choose 2 ice cream flavors( i chose choc/van), your middle(cookie crumb), what colors and decorations you'd like on it. It was a very good cake. It was $34. I would order from them again. You are supposed to order about a week in advance.

I am an ice cream snob. Everywhere I go, I have to try the ice cream. And the place I always compare to is the Bethlehem Dairy Store.

I've been going here for a decade. Their ice cream is fantastic. Homemade ice cream in pretty much the largest flavor selection you'll find, hand-dipped waffle cones, real whipped cream, and honest-to-goodness hot fudge and hot caramel. You don't find these things anymore. And if the ice cream claims to have peanut butter, cheesecake, brownies, or another ingredient in it, you can SEE the ingredient in it and it is what it says. The peanut butter actually looks and tastes like the consistency of peanut butter.

No, it's not inexpensive, but the portions make up for it and the quality is well-worth it. It's also locally owned, and iconic to the local population. There is reason that, on a hot day, this is the ice cream place that people find it's worth waiting in a line for.

Every time I go somewhere new for ice cream, whomever I'm with will inevitably ask, "Is it as good as the Cup?" (Local name for Bethlehem Dairy Store), and the answer is always, just about without exception, "No."

The photos that I added were my actual ice creams BTW. They aren't stock photos. I ate them all myself :)

This banana split was the best one I have ever had. I'm 60 yrs old and I have been in thousand of ice cream shops. Lots of flavors to choose from. I'm old school. Original is the best. Great service. If you are around and love ice cream this is the place to go.

Either you like it hard or soft they’re both delicious options. AYO

Have been going here for decades. Great ice cream.

Very good ice cream at The Cup Bethlehem Dairy Store. We loved everything about this location including the nostalgic interior checkered floors with neon signs! The staff was very friendly with quick service. We had the Moose Track shake, the lemon Italian ice and vanilla ice cream. All were very very good! Would highly recommend this location which has been in the area for over 90 years!

Coming here for the last seventy five years💕. Know their ice cream💝
Came here long time ago with my grand pa💕 I think cones were 5 cents💝💕
Today 1/2 gallon Almond Joy, with whole almonds, yummy

This is the best icecream and dairy store in the world. There's only a certain amount of people allowed in the store at a time which is very nice. The quality is clearly better than other places. Also the service and people inside were very helpful and pleasant.

I absolutely love this place, I don’t want to go anywhere else for ice cream, ever! They always hook me up with extra peanut butter in my milkshakes, it’s perfect!

Great ice cream! Service was a bit confusing at first though. You order at the counter, but you have to walk past the counter to see all of the flavors and the board of flavors on the wall. You can use your phone to scan for the menu, but it's much more appealing to walk and see the flavors.

Minor inconvenience though, the ice cream was great.

This is a great place to get ice cream. The first thing that caught my eye was the retro atmosphere with checkerboard floors and neon signs. The staff was also kind enough to suggest some of their home made flavors. Since I love ice cream cake, Justin served a soft serve vanilla with the crumble on top! I enjoyed my ice cream but even better in their outdoor seating they have available in the summer. I recommend going here if you’re ever in the area!

First, the service was excellent and the ice cream was the best I have had in a long time. I also want to mention a detail. When I left, I saw that there was a line outside far from the door. When I entered, I thought that those people were buying through a window outside. I hope that when I came in I didn't take anyone's turn. If that happened, I apologize that I didn't notice. Also, no one said anything to me when I left. Thank you and sorry if I offended anyone.

THE classic Lehigh Valley ice cream spot. A massive selection, great flavors and great customer service. There is almost always a line but the wait times are rarely more than 10 minutes.

Everything here is delicious and worth the wait can be really busy

Great ice cream! Always stop for dessert when we're in the area.
My parents surprised me with my Birthday cake from here this year, it was delicious!!! Not to mention it was the cutest cake ever, we are all Phillies fans in this family!!

Best ice cream place, love to come here with my family.

That ice cream is really good. I got a chocolate soft, serve ice cream, a small cup with rainbow sprinkles, and it tasted so good. Definitely go there highly recommend.

So good... That's all!
Just an update, because they deserve it. All these years, we always go back and get treats from here. The soft served is good, the regular ice cream and the varieties of flavors fantastic. Try their "Moosetracks" or "Almond Joy" flavors!!!
Give them a shot!

I was in the mood for ice cream then searched on Google maps and found Bethlehem Dairy Store. The reviews were good so I stopped and ordered a banana split. It was not disappointing at all ! Delicious flavor & generous serving, server was nice and received my order quickly. I would visit again when in the area for work.
