Stopped in randomly on a road trip and had a great experience! Yea this shop is sorta in the middle of nowhere, but don’t let that scare you away. They has 15+ flavors of ice cream, and options of sundaes and other treats. The inside is adorable, decorated with hearts etc. there is a patio outside to sit too. Portions were generous for the price and I enjoyed the variety of fun flavors they had. Defiantly worth a little detour to enjoy!

Great ice cream! I used to work there several years ago under it's previous name. My wife and I went on a day's "road trip" to the area about 3 years ago to show her my old "stomping grounds" when I was a kid. While there, we stopped by for an ice cream and she fell in love. So occasionally we make a day of it and take a trip up there for it's cool refreshing taste. Sound crazy? Maybe, but I just like spending time with my beautiful wife. So, if you're looking for a cool refreshing treat, be sure to visit the Parlor at Homestead Ice Cream just outside of Archbold, Ohio.

A wonderful, little place that has been there for a long time. The fact that it is in the middle of the country by itself and still gets a steady flow of customers should tell you everything you need to know. Staff is always great. I have been a regular for a couple years but my grandfather has been going since they were still called Nofziger's. My personal favorite is cappuccino chip.

This is absolutely the best hard dipped ice-cream in the area. Tip: get it in the homemade waffle cone! It's very iconic with great service. If you're in the area, it's a must!!

Wonderful little ice cream shop out in the country. Like a walk down memory lane with all the best flavors of hand dipped ice cream. Black cherry was my favorite, but they are all delicious.

It's ice cream. Good ice cream. If that doesn't get a place 5 stars I don't know what does.

The ice cream is top-notch. The little building is very clean inside and adorable. It's definitely worth the 1/2 hour drive for us to get there. A little hidden gem out in the country.
