Soft Serve & Frozen Dessert Shop · Middletown, PA
Jak Frost Frozen Desserts is a locally owned soft-serve and frozen-dessert shop on East Emaus Street in Middletown, PA — the former Dairyland stand, now run by Jon and Katie — serving soft serve, hand-crafted sundaes, blended ice cream, and milkshakes about 25 minutes south of our Grantville shop.

Our take Jak Frost sits over in Middletown, about 25 minutes south of our shop at Exit 80 in Grantville — an easy reward at the end of a day around Hershey or Harrisburg. If your car threw a warning light or felt off on the drive, swing by us first and then go enjoy the ice cream.
Jak Frost is the kind of neighborhood ice cream stop a town keeps coming back to. It sits on East Emaus Street in Middletown, in the spot locals knew for years as Dairyland Icecream, and these days Jon and Katie run it themselves. The menu keeps things classic and done right: soft serve as the backbone, plus hand-crafted sundaes, blended ice cream, and milkshakes. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so it works whether you're grabbing a quick cone or settling in on a warm evening.
What makes it an easy recommendation is that it's built for however you show up — a family night out, a date, a solo treat, or a meet-up with friends — and the dog is welcome too. They'll also host birthday parties and private events if you need a venue. It's open seven days a week in the evenings, which makes it a simple after-dinner detour on the Middletown side of the Harrisburg area.
The house backbone — classic soft serve in cups and cones, the order most regulars come back for.
Built-to-order sundaes layered with the usual lineup of toppings and sauces.
Blended treats with mix-ins folded through — a step up from a plain scoop when you want something heartier.
Thick, classic milkshakes — an easy crowd-pleaser alongside the cones and sundaes.
Jon and Katie will host birthday parties and private events at the shop; reach out ahead of time to arrange a date.
