A sweet tour of Mercer County

Last updated: November 6, 2024

Sweeten up the rest of your summer with some of our favorite local treats! From epic milkshakes to specialty donut creations, you’ll be sure to find a spot to satisfy your sweet tooth in Mercer County. 

The RailYard

Cool off this month with an indulgent milkshake from The RailYard. The restaurant’s milkshakes all start with a base of vanilla bean ice cream and whole milk. From there, the add-ins can be as standard or over-the-top as you want. Try the namesake, The RailYard Shake (a classic Neapolitan — layered chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shake, topped with house whip), or explore the decadent craft shake options like the Cloud 9,000 (a cotton candy base with mini marshmallows, a lollipop, sprinkles, cotton candy and assorted fruit candies). Adults can enjoy an alcoholic addition to their dessert with shakes like the Ball and a Biscuit (a brown sugar chocolate base with chocolate fudge rim, bourbon balls and Hershey’s chocolate syrup).

Bramwell Corner Shop

The only cure to the sweltering summer nights in Mercer County is a visit to the Bramwell Corner Shop! Whether it’s a single, double or triple scoop cone — treat yourself to some yummy ice cream this month! Choose from classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla to decadent flavors like maple bacon and cherry cheesecake. No cone or sundae is complete without toppings, and The Corner Shop has plenty to pick from! In addition to cones, the restaurant also offers banana splits, sundaes and floats.
