Ice Cream Shop serving Lancaster County
Welcome to The HayLoft, Lancaster County’s ice cream shop.
We serve soft-serve ice cream and hand-dipped ice cream, Italian ice, soft pretzels with dips, and other fine treats. Learn more about our menu.
HayLoft donates all profits to Allegany Boys Camp, a year-round residential wilderness camp for boys ages 9-16 who are struggling in their homes and at school. Learn more about our mission.
Hayloft Ice Cream is Lancaster’s new ice cream parlor, located just west of New Holland in Leola, PA. We offer delicious homemade ice cream flavors, soft pretzels, and other treats.
The ducks and fish can be fed at the nearby pond, and children love playing on the beautiful new playground. Our spacious deck and a pavilion by the playground provide shade and shelter for outdoor seating. We invite you to come and see the unique interior of the building representing the boys’ camp we are working for.
All proceeds go to support the work of Allegany Boys Camp, a year-round residential wilderness camp for boys ages 9-16 who are struggling in their homes and at school. You can support the work of the camp through your purchase of ice cream, soft pretzels, and other treats. More information about the camp is available at www.alleganyboyscamp.org.
A camper wrote,
“In the past year I have learned a lot at camp. Standing in a circle, after you see yourself or someone that has a problem that needs solved you gather together to help solve the problem.
But I’ll be honest with you, when you see the person is being stubborn and that they don’t want your help at all, you start to feel inside, why waste my time on them. It only takes time, experience, and some thinking. And then you’ll look back and say, my time was worth it just to help them and see them make progress in their life.
Because God didn’t give you life to waste time only on the things that are all about yourself. He put you here to help other people in their hard times in life, and to invest your time to help them make the progress they need. These are some of the things I have learned about simply solving problems through my everyday life at camp.”

Love their ice cream! Also, we love their gelati’s. It’s a nice place to walk around the pond on the property as well.
Incredible ice cream flavors...it was so hard to choose just one😆 Soft pretzles were SO good too! Everything was just perfect and we cannot wait to come back. The boys camp that you support sounds incredible!
Love their pretzels, soft ice cream, and black raspberry sundaes!!
The soft pretzels and ice cream were delicious! Our kids enjoyed the playground
I stopped in 7/7/18 with my wife and two sons. We enjoyed it very much. We are about an hour and 45 mins away in Chambersburg PA. I would loved to come back and do a bike ride on the great back roads and enjoy a milkshake at the end. If you see a red mini van in your parking lot early on a Sat. morning don't worry I will be back in a couple of hours for that milkshake!
