I've had their ice cream before and know it's top notch. I chose a maple walnut on a waffle cone and my husband 1 scoop of strawberry and a scoop of coconut almond. Mine was delicious and the cone was crispy and fresh and actually one of the best I've ever had. My only minor complaint is that I had zero walnuts in my ice cream! That could have just been because it was the bottom of the tub??? The flavor of the maple was excellent. My husband loved his flavors but said he liked the strawberry best. They had seating outside.

This is the best ice cream spot in CNY in my opinion.

Their prices are reasonable and the serving sizes generous. The "Creamery" part of their name is exemplified in their soft serve. It is creamy, thick, and doesn't melt right away like other ice creams might. I've tried the soft serve, hard flavors, and their version of a flurry/blizzard/etc. and can recommend all. A cool fact about the Creamery: it was opened by the local Masonic Lodge and their goal is to use profits to give back to the community. Very cool. Not much else to say here. Head to Cazenovia to check out the lake, have dinner at one of the great local restaurants, and finish up with dessert at the Nelson Creamery.

I strongly believe that if you own and/or work in a service capacity that wouldn't typically allow…read morepets, you should be VERY aware of Service Dog rules. I tried to go into this establishment with my service dog and the woman said "no dogs allowed" when I responded that he was a service dog, she looked at the man working said "where's his vest". I said he wasn't obligated to wear one to which the woman responded "my allergies". I felt very unwelcome and I put the dog in my car and came back to tell them that not all disabilities were visible and their actions made me feel incredibly unwelcome and distressed. To which, the they chuffed while the customers laughed and the man said "all I did was ask you where his vest was". No sir, that's not all you did. It's really easy to Google the laws and to see that you can ask questions, ones that I will happily answer when done in a way that feels respectful. All I wanted was ice cream man!

They also have breakfast sandwiches and plenty of coffee and in fact I think if you have one of their mugs you can get a free cup of coffee from time to time. Off the record I've actually gotten a free cup a few times myself just because I think at 3:00 in the morning if that's all I'm getting the person probably feel sorry for me because I'm out of 3:00 in the morning and I need coffee so they say just go ahead and take it The store itself is pretty clean especially in comparison to other convenience stores I've been in. And of course the one thing that if they're not noted for should be, is their milk. The white milk is good but the chocolate milk is oh my gosh incredible. I actually live about an hour down the road from this location and there have been times that on my way home from the Syracuse area I will stop at Byrne dairy to grab a half gallon of chocolate milk even though I can buy chocolate milk in any other store closer to me. It just tastes better.

I am partial to soft serve but have tried both their hard icecream and soft serve. I prefer their soft serve but wish they had more flavors. I tried the classic chocolate twist and the two berry twist soft serves. In the two berry twist, I didn't like the pink flavor- it was too icy and more like a sorbet/dole whip than true soft serve. I liked the purple flavor thought! Overall, I still frequent Sweet Melissa's for softserve close to Cornell! Would recommend!

He said he and his do some catering as well. Mike invited me into the shop. Got me a cup of coffee and chatted with me for a little bit of time. The coffee was awesome. They had breakfast sandwiches other things there as well but I had already eaten. I will be stopping back to try a snack, and especially to get more coffee. Big Mike was awesome.
