For those chasing the ultimate summer dessert in central Pennsylvania, The Sugar Shack Creamery in Upper Allen Township is a must-visit. Tucked just off Williams Grove Road on the outskirts of Mechanicsburg, this charming roadside ice cream stop has become a seasonal favorite for locals and travelers alike—thanks in large part to its standout classic: the banana split.
Known for delivering exceptional value and nostalgic flavors, Sugar Shack Creamery offers more than just traditional fare. Guests can choose from a rotating selection of 24 homemade ice cream flavors, with new options available daily. Whether you’re after a soft-serve cone, a custom sundae, or a refreshing acai bowl, there’s something to please every palate. Still, the banana split reigns supreme.
Crafted with care for just $9 (plus tax), the banana split is a build-your-own experience featuring fresh-cut bananas alongside rich scoops of homemade chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream—or any flavor of your choosing. It’s topped with your pick from the creamery’s selection of house-made toppings, making each order a personalized delight.
The banana split’s popularity is no surprise. “It’s a classic treat that everyone loves,” says the team behind Sugar Shack. “We sell about 80 of them each week.” Its creamy, sweet, and fruity profile makes it a perfect way to cool down during the warm summer months.
Guests can enjoy their treats under a shaded, covered patio just steps from the ordering window—a welcome touch that enhances the family-friendly vibe. Sugar Shack Creamery’s commitment to homemade quality and its charming setup place it firmly among the latest ice cream destinations worth a drive.
