One of our all time favorite ice cream shops in the Winchester area is Pack’s Ice Cream. They have delicious custard, Dole Whip, and all kinds of crazy ice cream concoctions. Pack’s has multiple physical locations, including shops and carts, throughout the Winchester area, and we are so excited that Pack’s Cones-N-More is located right by our house on Route 11. We have stopped by multiple times, and each time is fantastic.
Price 💲💲out of 5
The prices are pretty typical for ice cream shops in the area. In fact, they are more reasonable than a chain restaurant like Dairy Queen. The value is incredible, as every portion is huge and easily shareable with others.
Ambience 🧑🍳 🧑🍳 out of 5
We come to Pack’s Cones-N-More for the ice cream, not necessarily the ambience. While the location is clean and has a few areas for seating, it is rather plain and nothing to write home about. There are definitely more aesthetically pleasing ice cream shops in the area, but what the shop lacks in ambience it makes up for in quality of ice cream and options.
Food 🥩🥩🥩🥩 out of 5
The ice cream at Pack’s Cones-N-More is absolutely phenomenal. There are so many options, from thick and creamy custard to Pineapple Dole Whip (Disney people, iykyk!). They constantly have seasonal specials as well, including Apple Blossom inspired desserts in the Spring and a rotating cast of flavors and toppings. My daughter is a very simple girl and loves the plain vanilla custard. They also have their take on a blizzard with an item called the “Pack Attack” which includes their custard as well as plenty of fill-ins. Lastly, I always get the Pineapple Dole Whip when I am there because it is my all time favorite dessert. Pro tip: you can buy an entire quart of Pineapple Dole Whip from them and take it home! I did that once and it was the best decision I ever made in my life! They have floats, brownies, and all kinds of other desserts as well, so there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
Overall, the experience at Pack’s is always amazing. It is very nostalgic to go with your family and share some ice cream, and I am glad that Pack’s (along with a handful of others) are in the Winchester and Eastern Panhandle area for us to enjoy. While it may not be as appealing during the cold Winter days, I am already dreaming about a Summer evening trip out to Pack’s to indulge in a delicious Pineapple Dole Whip with my family. If you get the hankering for some ice cream, stop at Pack’s Cones-N-More today!
