Doolittle's Roadside Cafe & Creamery Reviews
This place is a GREAT stop off of I-80. The LIFE-SIZED dinosaurs set into the hills of PA are spectacular, not to mention old train cars, model trains, mini golf, coffee, and ice cream. But seriously: DINOSAURS!! Delicious iced latte (whole milk, coffee flavored (no syrup)). Smooth and delicious with no burnt or bitterness. So good I got a second one after checking out the dinosaurs and train cars. The depot building is beautiful and the bathroom was actually lovely. Friendly service. The only thing I would add would be a changing table and hooks for coats/bags in the bathroom. This is worth getting off I-80 to see. This is the about the Aegis coffee at Doolittle's Depot.
Total random find but super cool and nice people. Great place to explore and ice cream is delicious.
An oasis on I-80! Great ice cream & an impressive menu. Cool train cars. Diner cars, cabooses, parlor cars, a dinky, a beautifully done station filled with historic railroad artifacts & memorabilia. So glad we stopped!
Cheap and enjoyable road trip stop. There are other restaurants, statuesque dinos, and a mini golf course in Dr Doolittle's Plaza (?), but we came here for what seemed like the quickest option. It is also very, very cheap. You can eat inside or sit out on a bench. There are ordering windows inside and outside as well. We got a hot dog, cheeseburger, milkshake, ice cream, fried cauliflower, and a large curly fries for less than $25 (including tip). They had a variety of ice cream flavors. I got the banana cream pie which was very much exactly what it said on the label. I wish we'd had more time to spend here because I'd love to see what their other restaurants are like. There was plenty of parking around and we had no trouble even with a Uhaul and a car tow.
This is a pretty interesting spot with lots of this for kids to enjoy. The food is average but filling, the diner is kitschy and cute. My daughter loved the iced coffee from the cafe, and we were blown away by the dinosaur exhibit and the trains. Service was good and the whole place is less than a mile away from I-80.
