Manning Farm Dairy

Mannings is very good ice cream. As someone who always like to try the local variety of ice cream when I travel, I feel like I am quite an expert in this. It is exceptionally creamy, and although they do not advertise the percentage of milkfat uses in their product, my guess it is high. This is good news for delicious ice cream. I enjoyed a couple of the holiday seasonal flavors at Christmas time and have sort of settled on the Salted Caramel as my usual, non-​seasonal fave. Often «salted» flavors lose their salty punch as you continue to eat and your mouth goes cold, but this one seems to stay a touch salty through the whole thing. I find the small (not even the single) is plenty – it is SOOOO rich. It is extremely affordable. Also I regularly buy the milk. The skim is way better than supermarket milk – creamier and uhhh… milkier?
This place is typically staffed by kids, they are friendly enough and get the job done. The store front could do a lot to be cuter, so don’t expect anything in terms of atmosphere, it’s pretty utilitarian. But with a product so tasty, who cares?
OH – CASH ONLY!

blueberry cheesecake yogurt is a healthier option and delicious!

The stars are really for the great price and huge portion.
The ice cream though tasted rather old and the chocolate chip cookie dough a bit sour. The choco. peanut butter was okay but hardly any peanut butter. Perhaps we were just there on an off day and chose the wrong flavors!

I cannot comment on the store, or the service, since I took the lazy route and sat on the couch waiting for the so talked about milkshake delivery. But, let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. I went with cookies and cream — vanilla ice cream with real mashed up oreos. Just so good. And filling.
I can see what all the rage is about — apparently they have all kinds of milkshakes, and every single one is amazing.

Excellent, local homemade ice cream– a must stop for ice cream lovers.
A true local gem — don’t miss!

Probably my favorite ice cream in PA… I could eat Mannings every day for the rest of my life. ANY flavor, ANY cone, ANYTIME. I have to say, their banana ice cream is my father’s absolute favorite. It is rare to find a banana ice cream that doesn’t taste like banana runts and Manning’s is exactly the opposite. It fantastic. LOVE them. Cute little shop, always friendly people working. Too bad there isn’t really anywhere to sit. We always the loiter around outside the shop with our cones. Wish I still lived in NEPA and could partake in more Manning’s.

First you choose which kind you should order, ice cream or others. Second, choose the cup, single or scoops, etc. The last, choose the flavor. Only cash.
I love the Oreo, Brownie, Vanilla. Some flavor has the cookies inside. That’s yummy.

This place is a chip off of what is right about America. high quality great prices, wonderful service. If you drive by without trying, you are either lactose intolerant or a cyborg intent on the destruction of all things good.

I had their ice cream years ago. And, yeah it was pretty awesome.
We tend to get milk from here. If you are one to make yogurt at home, use milk from Manning’s ONLY. You’ll thank me later. We’ve tried various different brands of milk from all the local grocery stores. But, what we’ve noticed is that the final product tastes much better when we used Manning’s milk.

Ice cream!!! milkshakes!!! Chocolate milk!!! Ice cream sandwiches where the sandwich part is made of cookies!!!
Manning’s is the best!!!

$ 3.98 for two scoops that is the size of 3 or 4 scoops at other places. Nice! The ice cream and milk comes completely from their own cows. Lots of great flavors. No paying for extraneous nonsense like singing employees or mixing odd topping into the ice cream on a cold marble slab. Only downside is that it’s cash only.
People were coming in to buy milk, too. The milk was cheaper than the regular stores and it’s hormone-​free, too.

This place was perfect. Great ice cream, cheap. On a dairy farm. It’s worth the brief detour off the highway.

Delish and very reasonably priced at less than $ 3 for two scoops. Had cake batter and peanut butter cup. Next time I come through Scranton, I’ll have to try their frozen custard (since frozen custard is generally amazing).

Delicious ice cream, abundant parking, fair prices. It only loses points for being cash-​only and having a few surly staff members.

This place is AMAZING. WHAT a find !!! You don’t get more «farm to table» than this! The milk cows are right there. I’ve never had fresher more delicious ice cream. I wish we lived closer! Would love to try the milk.

Soooo many flavors to choose from which is great. I always feel bad asking for too many samples because I am so indecisive. My favorite is chocolate raspberry truffle but you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors. I only wish they would label each ice cream though; I like to see how it looks in the tub first. They didn’t mind when I kept asking what was what though. The single dip is quite large (I almost couldn’t finish… almost!) and a great value.
Also, they only accept cash.

It’s pretty amazing. Charlie Brownie is my recent go-​to. If you’re in high school lookin for high school chicks, this is where they work. apparently. Great ice cream and chocolate milk!

How there is not any reviews for this place is beyond me? This place hands down has the best ice cream and it is cheap. The ice cream, milk, cakes and ice cream pies are all home made from the farm in Dalton PA. I had to drive to visit mom yesterday but everytime I am in Scranton I stop here. Last night we made the trip to the farm so I could reminisce when she took me as a kid. I worked here in high school and ate ice cream literally everyday… I think Mrs. Manning puts crack in the mix or something.
I had a double dip, Barnyard Gravy and Chocolate PB, it was huge and mom had a single… total $ 6… After walking around the farm for a bit I stopped in for another one for the way home… Scranton should be known for Manning’s Ice Cream as much as it should be for The Office.
