Would never get service like that down in NJ. The ice cream was delicious and came with huge portions and the prices were great! $2 for a cup is unheard of. I would love to return when it is actually opened and try some of the different flavors they have because they have a huge variety and lots of toppings to choose from.

Stewart's is a fairly big convenience store chain mainly serving the Upstate New York area. The…read morething I like most about Stewart's is their commitment to the communities they serve. This local Stewart's shop always has specials depending on events taking place in town. The clerks are all very nice and friendly, The stores carry a large array of grocery items, plus their own brand of milk products and ice cream (New York State's biggest industry - for those who may not be aware of it - is not tourism, but actually dairy farming, producing 73% of the nations yogurt, among other items). Getting back to Stewart's, though, they are a very community-oriented company and they really try to please their customers. This location is right off the main highway, and offers gasoline, too, so it gets pretty busy here on the weekends with folks stopping in for a quick bite with their fill-ups. They serve grab-n-go breakfast items, sandwiches, hard-packed ice cream in many flavors, coffees, snacks, candy, smokes and lottery tickets. Considering their proximity to the road, they very thoughtfully also offer a small section of emergency automotive supplies for motorists. Although they do not stay open all night, they are a good, reliable staple, and a welcome sight for travelers and locals alike in these vacation regions of New York who need gas and food along their way.

A…read morecoworker had raved about it, and like with most hyped-up food, I assumed it would be overrated. But I was wrong! We walked up, and I ordered a dairy-free Dole Whip in pomegranate flavor with rainbow sprinkles in a cup. I wasn't sure what to expect--I'm usually not a huge pomegranate fan--but from the first taste, I was sold! It was sweet with just the right amount of tartness, and the sprinkles added a fun pop of color. It was the perfect cold treat to make an 8-hour workday feel worth it. Now that I've found this place, I'll definitely be back--there's so much more I want to try! 5/5 stars.

I'm really impressed by the large number of flavors of both hard and soft ice cream. Members of my family prefer Guptill's because gluten-free cones are available. The quality and texture of their hard ice creams are always consistently good. They are one of my favorite places to get strawberry cheesecake ice cream. It's cash only here, but tax is conveniently included, barring the need for small change, and there's a convenient ATM if necessary.

Sign in window says No soft serve chocolate. That was ok....since we were wanting Hot Fudge sundaes with vanilla. Oh...we don't have hot fudge. Hmm...ok.

They mix flavors into a vanilla base using a syrup. The biggest issue is that they've changed management twice. They used to be Tom's ice cream. The new management hasnt quite figured out how to generate all the flavors. The new management is still pretty good though. The vanilla base is still some of the best soft serve I've had. My favorite flavors are peanut butter, cappuccino. To be fair, Tom was a dairy jedi. He set the bar really high. In terms of toppings, their sauce game is also strong. They have hardening, chocolate dips, etc. The peanut butter sauce is homemade and my personal favorite. They also have crush ins for the soft serve like reeses pieces and oreos and hard ice cream. These are good, but definitely not the star of the show.
