A small takeout shop featuring traditional Mexican ice cream has opened in Lancaster city.

Mezcla Ice Cream features a variety of flavors at 318 S. Duke St., a former row house renovated for the new shop. Traditional Mexican ice cream has less fat and air than American style ice cream, making it similar to gelato. There are also fewer mixed-in ingredients and more flavoring agents such as chocolate, cinnamon and fruit.

The shop’s name is Spanish for “mix” and is meant to describe a blending of flavors, cultures and families. It is owned by Heidi Castillo, who is an owner of PhotOle, a Lancaster city photo business she has with her husband, Ole Hongvanthong.
