| - This was my first ice cream store. And my first love.
I grew up walking to the store, and have experienced it's expansion since then. I'm a little upset now that they sell convenience-store-like goods at their Guffey Road location, but I'll get over it. I'm nostalgic for the old days.
The ice cream is amazing, attributable to the fact that they make it all right there, I think. Maybe it's the milk they use. I'm not a big milk drinker, but to this day, Kerber's skim milk is all I will drink plain (because really, any milk will do when there are Oreos to be dipped). This makes it a little difficult since I've moved out of the area, but I always bring milk back with me after a visit home.
The flavors are unique and endless. My favorite pairing is the same as when I was a kid: Orange Pineapple and Black Raspberry. They are the only ice cream store I've come across that keeps the chocolate chips out of the black raspberry (and therefore allows me to pair it with more). Flavors rotate by season, so there is always something new to try.
I also love how much ice cream you get here. I always get the junior scoop, and it's definitely comparable to a small at most other places, if not more. I'm a bit spoiled by this, and other ice cream shops always pale in comparison because of this.
In my book, Kerber's is the best ice cream I've had. I don't know if anyone can beat it, really. The Creamery at Penn State gave it a run, but not much can beat the local vibe, unique flavors, variety, and all-around-goodness of Kerber's.
