Those of us with a sweet tooth know it can kick up at any time, and one of the most satisfying ways to curb it? With an old-fashioned ice cream treat, of course. But sometimes ice cream alone won't do, and we crave an entire experience, like the one we'll find at this small-town ice cream shop in Pennsylvania.

Tucked in the adorable small town of Mount Gretna, The Jigger Shop, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor and restaurant, promises a hearty helping of nostalgia and a menu of delicious ice cream treats.

You might feel as though you've wandered back in time when you step up to the counter at The Jigger Shop, a popular seasonal destination since 1895.

Your biggest dilemma, besides deciding what to order, will likely be where to sit. The indoor dining area exudes old-school charm while...

The Jigger Shop is open annually from May through September.

The outdoor deck, flanked by trees, is simply lovely on a warm day, especially if there's a slight breeze. You'll probably want to experience both, which just gives you an excuse (not that you need one, especially after you taste the ice cream) to come back again...and again.

Remember that delicious dilemma? Well, it's a doozy. If you're craving an old-fashioned ice cream cone, you've got more than three dozen flavors - from classics like chocolate and French vanilla to specialties, including blueberry cheesecake and peanut butter ripple - from which to choose.

Want to add an extra bit of oomph to your ice cream? Choose from dozens of toppings. How about pretzels, hot fudge, or graham crackers?

The decision gets even tougher when you browse the sundaes on the menu. Chocoholic? Dig into the Death by Chocolate. Old-school? Go for the banana split.

You have nearly two dozen choices, including the whoopie pie sundae and strawberry shortcake.

You can't visit The Jigger Shop without ordering the Beignet donuts (with or without toppings). The donuts are available by the half-dozen and dozen, so you can order some to go.

Don't forget to check out the food menu, too, which is packed with favorites - meaty and veggie burgers, salads, and wraps.

Fries, fried pickles, and onion rings all pair perfectly with ice cream, too.
