Luscious ice cream, also lunch…read more When we saw an amazing fruit tart next door (more or less), and we realized that Purity Ice Cream was so close, the plan was instantaneous and obvious. One of walked two blocks north to get ice cream to top it off! (They also serve lots of lunch options, but that wasnt our target today.) It's a classic place for families. It's very popular, and yet was pretty quick even with the line of customers. Of about 25 classic and creative flavors, we went for a cup of vanilla with bittersweet chocolate shavings. When the rest of our group showed up, we built our treasured treat on the nearby Cayuga Trail, with a view of the inlet. They always say, look for the crowded places to find good treats. Bingo!

After not being there for a while, this was legitimately my first stop on campus when visiting. Went straight from the airport and got some scoops. Even on days when the temperature dipped below zero, I found myself wanting ice cream from Dairy Bar when I was a student. Years later, I'm happy to say that the flavors were still as good as I hoped. There are times when nostalgia can carry or elevate a memory of something, and luckily, nostalgia aside, I very much enjoyed my ice cream here. Pro tip for those who might not know: they serve limited flavors of the same Cornell-made ice cream in dining halls. They also serve it during the buffets at Statler Hotel. I love the different flavors, and would eat it at any time of day.

We did not get the usual, "Welcome to Cold Stone," greeting we normally get from straddling at other Cold Stone stores. We were next in line. After the customer left, they stayed at the cash register and talked for a bit. Which seemed a bit odd to me since we were waiting. Usually, in other establishments, the staff is very attentive and is eager to handle the next customer. Or if we came in as a group, they tag team to get us all completed in a timely fashion and work on the next. This is not what happened. When she finally came to us, we started our order. I was paying attention to how she kept herself, what she did before and after the handling of our ice cream. As she was finishing the mixes in the ice cream, I immediately noticed something different. In all the locations I have been to, this one was different. She leveled our ice cream with the cup it was in. I made this face. I thought it was odd and possibly thought she was going to bug the rest of it in but she didn't. She actually took a bit away in order to level the top of it. When she gave us our order, the ice cream was pouring over the side after she leveled it. She didn't bother to wipe it. I absolutely love cold stone. I know this is a new store and customer service is important. I do hope this is something they are not taught. Ice cream was delicious but I gave it three stars for this above. Hope next time for a five star review.

Phenomenal ice cream! Better than Purity!…read more My favorite ice cream stop in Ithaca! A tad on the pricey side and I don't love their waffle cone- quite average and no depth in flavor- rather bland. Nonetheless, I love their fun flavors of ice cream! I have tried purple cow, cookie explosion (my favorite), cinnamon (reminds me of cinnamon toast crunch), coffee & cream, caramel apple cheesecake, and blueberry cheesecake! Good service, friendly workers! I particularly appreciate how willing they are to let you sample flavors! Also, very good with allergies. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Enjoy your cone in their comfortable seating area surrounded by flyers of local events & businesses. Never been and want to pick the best flavor for you?

The original flavor is hands down the best! The toppings selection is great too, with a good variety to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for something fruity or a little bit of everything, they've got you covered. We love loading up with fresh strawberries, popping boba, and a sprinkle of colorful candies--just like in the picture! Despite seeming expensive, it's actually not that bad price-wise. It's a sweet deal for a sweet treat (who knew indulgence could be so affordable?). Interestingly, despite being a grocery store, many people don't come here for groceries (there are simply better options out there). Instead, they flock here for the froyo. Its alt name is the "froyo spot," and for good reason. If you're in the area late at night and looking for a froyo fix, Jason's Grocery & Deli is definitely the place to be. It's become a bit of a tradition for us, and we're never disappointed! (Plus, the late-night runs are always an adventure.)
