This is the best ice cream we've had in the area. It's made locally and there are great standard flavors (chocolate is a favorite) as well as exotic ones like champagne and merlot (made with actual wine). The staff is friendly and prices are good. What's not to like! read more

Small shop with a big flavors!! Tons of interesting flavors available, but they limit to two samples only which is good and bad because I definitely wanted to try like 6 so it kept me restrained. I chose the apricot orange blossom which had a delicate flavor with a good amount of apricot chunks and the green tea which was yummy. Staff was very friendly and the two scoop portion was pretty generous. read more

Your ice cream is pretty dope but let's be clear... You're seasonal... Why close so early??? The sun is still out at 9 pm... people want to eat ice cream after dinner. And you're always f*cking closed. It drives me absolutely bonkers. Think about the cash you'd pull in staying open when there's actually still sun in the sky and it's 85 degrees at 8 pm. read more

Fresh creamy aroma as I walked in, friendly welcome, colorful array of ice cream flavors. What can I say, but delicious!

I went there 3 days ago with my wife because I had heard good reviews about this place. I decided to go with the lavender ice cream which was to die for. I would have never thought lavender would be an ice cream flavor but it was absolutely delicious. I also like the fact that the ice cream is locally made. Also tried some of my wife's Beacon brownie ice cream with came with two scoops of double chocolat , on top of a homemade brownie with whipped cream. The chocolate ice cream with Rich just as you would expect and the brownie was light but very flavorful. The only thing they need is more places to sit otherwise it is a little gem in the town of Beacon. I will be going back to try the wine flavored ice cream which seems like an interesting concept. read more

I don't usually crave ice cream but when I do have that craving, I always have to get it from Beacon Creamery. Their ice cream here is so good, it always makes me want to go back for more. My all time favorite which I think everyone should try if you ever come up this way...try the coconut almond joy, you're very welcome ! I guarantee you, you will want to come back to Beacon just for this ice cream. You can even get pint sizes to go, awesome right? read more

I've been going here for the past few summers and it is the best ice cream i've had EVER!!! It's Janes all natural ice cream it's so delicious and creamy. My favorite is salty pretzel or mocha crunch. They have a large selection of ice cream and it always takes me forever to choose! The ladies who work there are so wonderful and friendly, I can tell they like what they do and make my experience so much better. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area prices are not bad and don't even get me started in the tipsy shakes (a shake with a shot) the black Russian is super good. Favorite ice cream place ever! Ron the owner is a very nice man and runs a great shop!!! read more

Nice Find by my Soro Ellen Peterson ! We will definitely return and enjoy the many flavors and atmosphere of Beacon

Very friendly staffs. Tried the gingersnaps cookie flavor. It was yummy. Not too sweet and too spicy. Just right. Apparently the strawberry champagne flavor actually has a strong alcohol taste, for adults who are not a sweet tooth. read more

The Beacon Creamery is a hidden Gem! It is located right at the beginning of Main Street in Beacon. The ice cream is so smooth! Pricey...but smooth! I would recommend this for anyone who is tired and hot after climbing Mount Beacon ;) read more

Got here just as the store was closing - the woman scooping was nice enough to stay open a few more minutes to let us walk down to the ATM and back before ordering ice cream. Good selection, impossible to miss (about the first place you run into on Main Street), cheery servers. No credit cards accepted - for a cheaper ATM don't go to the cafe across the street, but rather to the bank a little down the way. After a full day at Dia, it was nice to relax with ice cream and take the ferry across the Hudson. read more

This ice cream parlor is ADORRRRR-able!! We stopped here on a nice spring Saturday and during the dog parade, they allowed dogs in :D SUPER THUMBS UP. Their ice cream is homemade as well. Their parlor has a beautiful ice cream parlor feel especially with the colorful stools. I loved swiveling while enjoying my ice cream. They have the usual flavors but also someone unique ones like ginger, green tea---I noticed one called midsummer night's dream or something like that. I had the lemon sorbet, which was very refreshing and had bits of lemon in it! I could taste how homemade it was! My fiancee had a cone of butter pecan ice cream which was yum and my sister finished off her cookies n'cream. read more

Solid ice cream but I really don't understand the hours..place would make a fortune if they stayed open a little later especially in the summer read more

Sorry to bust the little 5 star streak this place had going on, but everything about it was slightly less than average - my partner in crime's cookie dough cup didn't have a single bit of anything besides ice cream in it - and my mint chocolate chip cone, though amply sized, was nothing to write home about. read more

Ice cream here was expensive but it was so good. They make it in the store and have many different flavors to choose from such as lavender and green tea. They also charge for any toppings. The store was small and I was served quickly but it was not very busy. I had vanilla ice cream with Reese's pieces topping. Delicious! read more

Easily the best ice cream Ive ever had. I like that they have such unique flavors. Definitely gets the King of Beacon's seal of approval. I hope they stay open through winter this year. read more

Yum! Mint summer night and cappuccino kailua

I like their icecreams personally the ginger flavor and the pumpkin spice flavor - very fresh and tasteful.

In Beacon. What comes to mind? Ice cream duhhhhhghhhhhhbhbbbb So that is what I got. Flavors. A lot of them. What to get? Where to eat? Questions. It took me about an hour to order. I got the salted caramel pretzel ice cream. More like salted caramel where those pretzels at?? Like really.. Not many pretzels. My mother got Killer Chocolate. It almost killed her. The taste was a bit odd. Overall, great homemade ice cream by a great great great great lady and fam Please contact me Ice cream lady Will return to Beacon just for this This review may sound a little negative but it was delicous!!! Peanut butter fudge was oh so yum. They also have wine ice cream !!! Talk about yummy yum read more

This place has delicious ice cream and unique flavors. They also have wine flavored ice creams which are tempting. We had fantastic toasted coconut and mocha ice creams, also grapefruit sorbet and salted pretzel ice cream which tasted like butter pecan somewhat saltier and even more yummy when offset with the grapefruit. This place is definitely worth returning to. I will be back I know. read more

A tad overpriced for a regular ice cream, but the tipsy shakes are definitely a fun find.

I loved how friendly everyone was at the creamery on a cold, March day after a snow storm. Selection is going to look a little lacking if you're used to the Perry's resellers, but the quality and freshness easily cancel out the lack of selection. The coconut Almond Joy was amazing; I will definitely be back for more seasonal flavors as time goes on! read more

Delicious ice cream! Love the unique flavors and large selection. They close WAY too early though. Multiple times a week I want to go there to get ice cream after dinner, but they are already closed :( 8pm? Seriously? If they stayed open later they'd have 5 stars for sure. read more

This must be the summer of tiny scoops for Beacon Creamery. The first time I went there this season, I ordered a small cup ($4) and the guy gave us a very small scoop but then saw his co-worker give a regular size portion to another customer and took back our cups and said, "Compared to her scoops mine are really small", and gave us what you would expect from your average ice cream shop. The second time I went there the same guy gave us tiny scoops again. The girl who gave us normal scoops was no longer working there. Maybe she got fired for giving people normal portions? What a shame. They serve Jane's which is a pretty good local brand and have a decent selection. I guess this is the way they have decided to do business. Charge more, give less. Needless to say, I'm not going back. read more

I would give this place a solid 3.5 the owner was friendly but a little hard of hearing. It was a cold night so the place was mostly empty. He did not have a lot flavors out. I had to ask him 2-3 times for a tasting and my boyfriend asked for a two scoops and he ended up with one. There were seasonal ornaments around the shop which was cute but the place is small which made it more crowded and I guess since its winter there was no seating. The ice cream is delicious there is no argument with this. I am very picky when it comes to ice cream and this was perfectly rich and hit the spot. The owner greeted us when we came in which is bonus points in my world. I would def go back but the prices were a little much. read more

great great great customer service! ice cream was delicious as well and many unique flavors like their Thai coconut with Thai chili bird that adds a tiny bit of heat at the end of each bite read more

Beacon Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Beacon, New York

See all

Really terrible milkshakes. It was like the guy working there had never made a milkshake before. Literally the consistency of chocolate milk after I specifically asked for it extra thick. Ended up asking for a refund. read more

Definitely go. I wish they stay opened later when it was warm. The people that work there are very welcoming. We have enjoyed every flavor. Even the wine ice creams have a great flavor! read more

After hiking Mt. Beacon, we came to Main Street for lunch and ice cream. We stopped here after reading the reviews for the best ice cream. It's a little shop, not really any room for eating inside, but that worked for us. We took our ice cream around the corner and ate it under a tree in the shade. They do have a little patio w/ covered tables, but it was too hot for that. My husband and I split two scoops - cappuccino and coconut almond joy. I really couldn't decide between getting a latte across the street or ice cream, so the suggestion to get the cappuccino ice cream was perfect, and it went so well with the coconut almond joy flavor. Our kids got the deep chocolate (intense, delicious) and the butternut crunch (also delicious). No pics for this review since we all dove into the ice cream so fast there was no time :) read more

Ice cream and frozen yogurt are a staple of summer time memories. Definitely recommend this spot, especially for a little family outing

Delicious ice cream (I got in the fall mood with pumpkin ice cream). The staff was really friendly and sweet, and extra extra points for unexpectedly having Square in an old-fashioned mom-and-pop kind of place. read more

I used to own an ice cream shop, so I tend to be critical of other shops. I ordered a vanilla milkshake. If anything is wrong with any of the ingredients the flavor will be not quite right. To my happy surprise the milkshake, both taste and texture, was wonderful. read more

It's a little small, but there is plenty of room to sit outside, or walk around town. The ice cream is amaaaazing and even if there's a line, it moves along fast. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is the best around. Also - three Pokestops are accessible from inside! read more

I loved this place. Ive only visited once but want to come in again sometime soon. I went with my husband and newborn son. They gave us free scoops because they were so sweet and caring. I loved being there and I can't wait to go in again. I want to try the strawberry ice cream I heard it was delicious!! read more

Great place! They are very honest and have amazing flavors. The people are really friendly and are informed with their products. Their ice cream is natural so you won't find those food dyes/coloring. They happily explained to me the difference between mint chip you find at other places that have a green color versus theirs which is a vanilla color because they use natural ingredients without using chemicals. They have big scoops for the great price and definitely hold up to their name for having good portions! read more

I love this place. I walk in and feel at home. Ice cream is delicous, coconut almond joy is my favorite! Prices are very reasonable, and Ron, the owner is friendly and helpful. read more

Great ice cream!! Tried the peanut butter chocolate fudge and was not dissapointed. They give you a huge amount for the price and the ice cream is made in the area. Who could ask for more. read more

The ice cream was fine but the place smelled like a dirty floor mop.

My friend had one scoop of mocha ice cream and it had a strong but not overpowering taste of coffee and she absolutely loved it, being a coffee-lover. I always return to my all-time favorite, chocolate ice cream and had a chocolate malted milk shake, absolutely loving the dark, rich chocolate in a malted milk shake! They do not make their own ice cream here but serve Jane's ice cream, which is home made in Kingston, one hour's drive north of Beacon. To be forewarned, there are only two tables inside and there is seating outside. The parking lot to the side of the store is small and difficult to get in and out of. Better to park on the street or use the free public parking lot up the street behind the bus stop. The staff made us and the family who came in at the same time feel welcome, offered samples and gave us plenty of time to make up our minds. Definitely we'll be coming back! read more

Stopped by this little gem of a place with my sister after reading some great reviews on here. I'm so glad we did! The two employees working were so welcoming and friendly! They let us try a lot of the flavors before we committed to two each, and the ice cream was so thick and creamy, just delicious!!! The shiraz ice cream totally blew my mind! It really tasted like Shiraz! As a pregnant woman, that goes a LONG WAY! My only sadness was that I couldn't mix the Shiraz ice cream with the Killer Chocolate- they told me the two interact badly and make a sour taste, and I trust them. So I went with Killer Chocolate, which was so rich and wonderful, and Peanut Butter Fudge, which tasted to fresh and amazing! Perfect combo! I'll be coming back up to this place with a huge freezer bag so I can bring home a whole bunch! read more
