Nedley's Ice Cream & Coffee Cafe Aka Hershey's

Tucked into the heart of Perrysburg, Nedley's Ice Cream & Coffee Cafe Aka Hershey's feels like the kind of place locals quietly treasure and visitors are lucky to stumble upon. Sitting along East South Boundary Street, the location has an easygoing, small-town charm that instantly sets the tone before you even glance at the menu.

Walking in, the first thing that stands out is the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. It’s part classic ice cream parlor, part relaxed coffee spot, with a welcoming vibe that encourages you to slow down. The space isn’t overly polished, but that’s part of its appeal-it feels authentic, like a neighborhood staple that’s been serving regulars for years. The staff adds to that feeling, greeting customers with a friendliness that doesn’t feel scripted.

The menu leans heavily into what you’d expect from a place associated with Hershey’s ice cream, and that’s not a bad thing. There’s a wide variety of flavors, from rich chocolate classics to more playful seasonal options, and the scoops are generous without being over-the-top. One visit included a simple double scoop-cookies and cream paired with a peanut butter swirl-and both delivered that creamy, consistent texture Hershey’s is known for. Alongside the ice cream, the coffee selection holds its own, offering a solid range of hot and iced drinks that make it just as easy to stop by in the morning as it is after dinner.

What really makes the experience stand out is how the place blends its offerings. It’s not uncommon to see someone sipping a latte while another table shares sundaes piled high with toppings. That flexibility makes it feel less like a single-purpose dessert stop and more like a casual hangout. Reviews from locals often mention this balance, noting how it works equally well for quick takeout or lingering over a treat with friends.

Service is generally quick, even during busier hours, though like many small cafes, it can slow down slightly when there’s a rush. Still, the wait feels reasonable, especially considering the made-to-order nature of many items. Prices are in line with what you’d expect for a specialty ice cream and coffee shop, making it accessible without feeling cheap.

There’s a strong sense that this spot is part of the community, whether it’s families stopping in after school or couples grabbing dessert on a quiet evening. While it may not have the flash of bigger chain locations, that’s exactly why it works-what it offers is consistency, comfort, and a genuinely pleasant dining experience that keeps people coming back.
