The sweetest stop in Berne
Grandma Stutzman's serves up real homemade ice cream and small-town hospitality in a clean, welcoming little shop on US 27, where the service is friendly, fast, and the prices stay reasonable. With 24 flavors of hard-dip ice cream in the case — homemade varieties included, plus a dairy-free option — there's a scoop here for everyone.
What to order
The homemade black raspberry and strawberry are the flavors people talk about — both come up again and again as favorites. And don't skip the food side of the menu: the coney dogs are made from Tree's Original Recipe, a taste of local history you can't get anywhere else.
Good to know
There's seating both ways — air-conditioned indoor seating for hot summer days and outdoor seating for soaking up a Berne evening. It's a walk-in spot — no phone, no call-ahead orders, just come on in. Grab a cone after dinner at one of Berne's other restaurants, or time your visit around the glockenspiel — the clock tower plays at noon, 3, 6, and 9. Ice cream plus a show is a pretty good deal.
