    I

    Went here while on vacation in the area and I was not disappointed. Friendly staff and quick service. Lots of delicious flavors to choose and including some fun ones. I had the 'baby' cone ($3.78) and that thing was massive so I can only imagine what larger sizes looked like, but this was perfect for me. I had the Moose Tracks and Brownie Batter and they were both amazing! If you're near chautauqua lake, I definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Amazing ice cream. Charming environment. Gigantic portions - highly recommend sharing. Genuinely one of the best ice cream spots I've ever been to!

    I love to come here every time I'm in Chautauqua for the summer. It's in a wonderful location just by the lake, so you can cross the street for a splendid view. The scoops are tremendous in size, so I like to get a double scoop and share with a friend. Cappuccino crunch is the best, and butter pecan is a close second

    We stopped here on a beautiful summer day and got a huge cone full of ice cream. I absolutely loved the ice cream flavors they had! My partner did too. We walked over to the really pretty mural that's right nearby. It's nice because you can see Chautauqua Lake while you're eating your ice cream. They should ensure that they enforce the mask wearing in line. I would definitely return here!

    Medium ice cream HAUGE

    A gem of an ice cream shop! Delicious ice cream and fast service. Be aware that the sizes are huge. Pictures below are the small and medium. The medium was so much ice cream

    Both are BABY size!

    The portions are HUGE and they have an awesome variety of flavors- and recently new owners really made it look great. Vegan and gluten free options are clearly laid out and pretty delicious! They have milkshakes and ice cream flights so you can try 4 flavors at once. Their "baby" size is like a normal ice cream shop's medium- AWESOME value for the money and always friendly staff!

    Baby comes?!?

    After a day full of drinking and relaxing on Chautauqua Lake, we were looking for a cold, creamy…read moretreat to wrap up our day and the night before, we had seen signs for The Sprinkle Cone, so we decided to give them a try! On a Saturday, around 8pm or so, the family and I were walking downtown Jamestown and came here for a cold and creamy treat! From what I could tell, they only served hard ice cream, which was locally made by Addie's Ice Cream, along with sundaes, floats, etc., so no custards here, but no complaints here! After perusing their flavors, we were able to go right up to the window and place our order. There appeared to be about two or three people working, but they were courteous and quick, including the woman who took our order. There were a couple of benches near this shop but more than likely, expect to stand or walk somewhere else to sit. We all ordered medium-sized ice cream cones and upgraded to the waffle cone for an additional 75 cents. I went with their New York Cheese Cake and Mint Oreo Fudge flavors. The NY Cheese Cake flavor was on top and was very creamy! I loved how the cherries were swirled in. The Mint Oreo Fudge was an excellent closer for my ice cream cone as it was fudgy with plenty of Oreo cookie pieces and the right amount of mint flavor. The medium-size was the perfect portion too, it left me plenty satisfied. I will admit the prices might seem a tad on the high side, but the ice cream was very good and I like to support local places when I can. Overall, The Sprinkle Cone scooped out a great experience with friendly customer service and quality hard ice cream. When I come back to Jamestown, I wouldn't have any problems coming back and trying a couple different flavors!

    W-O-W. This ice cream. The words escape me as feelings and images of the experience wash over…read more It's great. First rate. I've eaten a lot of fancy ice cream so I will designate myself an authority. The space is open, airy, laid back and a little punk rock. Family friendly with the Buzz Cocks playing in the backround. There's an 80's feel about it all in just the right way. The proprietor makes the ice cream himself with fresh cream every Tuesday. It's sooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooood!!!!! NOT OVERLY SWEET. For example I find Perry's cloyingly sweet. Too much for me. Sprinkle Cone hits it just right. I went with my brother and his two teenage kids. Everyone was unexpectedly blown away. Here's the breakdown. Me: Vanilla and Berry Cobbler in a Sprinkle Cone Ethan: Mint Oreo Fudge and Reses Chunk in a cone Bro: Toasted Coconut and Strawberry in a cone Flynn: Don't remember 'cause he inhaled it! There was evidence of a cone tho Side Note: There is sidewalk chalk aplenty for drawing :@) Ps I head there's a badass indoor skateboard park in the same building!! Price: Increadibly reasonable for what you get.

The service was friendly, the ice cream was good, and the servings are huge. The "small" is actually large, the "medium" is larger still, and the "large" should really be named, "can you seriously eat all of that before it melts?" There are tables with umbrellas for shade, and the day we went, it was hot enough that you really wanted to be in the shade. (The umbrellas couldn't really shade all of the tables and seats, and could have been four time as big as they were, but then they probably would blow away any time there's a strong wind.) After a good day at Bemus Point and riding the ferry, this place was a nearly perfect finishing touch.
