This old fashioned ice cream stand is a Staple near the Village of Liverpool. I could not find…read moreexact date of opening but I remember visiting as a child specifically for lemon ice. Their homemade lemon ice revels some of the best! Our family is from the Buffalo area and grew up on Andrew's famous lemon ice. This is the closest we have found, I think it is just a bit more tart but the best in the Syracuse area! Fast, pleasant, service. Cash only. $3.25 for a small lemon ice, more than fair in this economy and a sizable portion! I even had some left to share! The classic ice cream stand itself is nostalgic and brings you back to more simple times! Huge menu, with cones, sundaes, flurries, milk shakes and more! That orange sherbet twist is on my list for a must try!

Was so happy to see the open sign lite and families enjoying the Holiday weekend with some Ice Cream. Love the I feel cream and Lemon Ice here. Does not disappoint. The Italian ice on a hot summer day is so refreshing. Love how personal this stand is with the story of the stand. Cash is King here so make sure you have cash on hand as there is no ATM available at Vicky's.

I stumbled upon Big Dip when I first moved to the area two years ago, as it's by my chiropractor…read more I'd dubbed it my favorite spot in town, but I think it may have been bested recently by a competitor or two. On my last visit, my milkshake was practically milk and no bueno. I was with my mom during that trip, and she reminded me I also had a bad milkshake there at the end of last season. The problem is that it tends to be busy that bringing it to the attention of an employee means cutting the line...I did reach out via social media and I was told to order milkshakes 'thick' going forward. I went this past Thursday and ordered a vanilla cone with sprinkles. The vanilla was way too soft, and shouldn't have been served. I think that might have been the issues with the milkshakes-- the ice cream isn't actually the way it should be. My mom's chocolate peanut butter cone was fine, however. With prices being what they are and my last 3 to 4 trips having been underwhelming/super disappointing, I think it is time for me to move on from the Big Dip.

Big dip is great. They have reasonable prices, friendly staff, and great options…read more HOWEVER, please be aware they will NOT let you eat the big giant ice cream cone on top of the building. They get real mad when you get up there and try to lick it. They say it's no real ice cream but I know that's not true! I came in the middle of the night with a ladder, climbed up and started munching that ice cream before the police intervened. It's real ice cream! Real delicious ice cream! I don't know how they keep it from melting up there, but whatever they are doing it's working. Once a year I think they should let some lucky person eat the big giant ice cream on the roof.

Definitely a local joint. Great selection of ice cream flavors and other cold treats. They bake…read moretheir brownies for brownie sundaes and they buy local biscuits for their strawberry shortcake sundae. They have a generous pup cup as well! Cant wait to come back for more!

I love Lala's!!…read more This charming little ice cream stand is one of my new favorite places to go. It is unfortunately not too close to home, but it is fortunately right on my way to and from other stuff I do. I brought some friends here after a white water rafting trip because we felt we'd earned ourselves a little treat. My one friend built her own sundae, my other friend got the cookie butter sundae, and I got the special red, white, and blue butter cake sundae. Actually, one of the workers got it for me - I was between two, couldn't decide, and asked her to surprise me. All of us agreed on how delicious everything was! Every time I've come here I've been impressed with the portion sizes as well! Feels like a steal!! It was raining so we had to eat our sundaes in the car, but they have plenty of seating and some cute gazebos. If it had been nicer, we'd have loved to sit outside and enjoy. Next time! Lala's has a huge fan in me, and I can't wait until I have to drive by again and get some more!

I've been loving soft blackberry ice cream with chocolate sprinkles so that's what I ordered. When we stopped it wasn't crowded, but shortly after it became full. Staff handled the crowd well. The night I went was a perfect summer evening. We sat at the picnic tables and enjoyed our ice cream. If you're out that way, it's definitely worth stopping in.

A beautiful sunny day to sit on their little outdoor patio. It was a bit chilly, but still nice…read more They have a really nice selection of pastries and sweets for a small bakery. I decided to try the apple tart and the rugelagh. The apple tart was flaky and the filling was classic apple pie flavor. The rugelagh was a different type of pastry but equally as good. They are take out only but there are so many places to sit and eat ( when the weather is nice) and the views of Skaneateles Lake are amazing. If the weather is bad, take it home or just eat in your car!

Those will be will tried on our next trip. Enjoy!

Pros: delicious milkshakes, plenty of hard ice cream, sundae and milkshake options, large sizes for great prices, friendly staff that offered suggestions and free samples, easy parking (street or in the plaza right in front), fun location that allows for a treat and a walk down to the lake! Cons: easy to miss! Tip-- It's attached to Dave's Diner! Limited outdoor seating, potential for longer wait times if the line gets long and hard to read the menu with the sun glare We love taking trips out to Caz and now this is another reason to make one!

Such a cute cafe and a lot more spacious than I had anticipated! Staff is also very friendly…read more There are a variety of drink options, pastries (sweet and savory), and even some grab and go lunch items available. They also sell some very cute greeting cards, earrings, magnets, etc. We ordered two drinks (Ube Espresso, Crème Brûlée latte), a flower pot mini cake (chocolate cake with raspberry filling in a decorative flower pot), a crème brûlée donut, and a spinach puff. The desserts were good, with the flower pot mini cake being our favorite. The chocolate cake was moist and the raspberry filling was balanced. We didn't love the flower frosting on top, but it was very pretty. The donut was very unique and filled to the brim with a fluffy cream - though we both thought it could've had a bit more flavor. The dough was perfect - soft and pillowy. The crème brûlée top made for a fun eating experience as the thin hard sugar had a satisfying crunch. The spinach puff was also delicious. Flaky pastry and cheesy filling - very comforting. The stars of the show were the drinks. The coffee was superb - balanced, smooth, and rich in flavor. While I didn't find the ube flavor to stand out, the ube espresso drink was still one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had. The Crème Brûlée latte was my friend's favorite - it was the perfect dessert drink. It even had the sugar crust on top. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

Cake Bar - The Cafe is an adorable stop in downtown Syracuse…read more The interior is really modern, inviting, and has gentle music playing. There is always a pleasant vibe to it and often there are people chatting or working on laptops. Employees are always really nice. I really enjoy the Pandan Matcha. Its so hard to find pandan drinks in the area! I find the drinks are often really sweet and so its important to order them with no sugar or less sugar. The boba is okay although the straws they have been using lately are too small for them so they lose some of the shape and correct texture. A random thing I love about their drinks are they used a crushed ice, it makes it feel appropriately portioned to the drink itself. Although I am not a coffee person, the cafe lattes are my partner's favorite in the area and they are highly customizable. It's also nice that they offer a carrier when you have a few drinks to-go. Interestingly, the cake and desserts are the weaker part for me for Cake Bar. They are often pretty dry for my tastes. My favorite has been the potato chip cookies, but I have only seen them a few times. The chicken wing dip buns are pretty good and filling though and are worth trying! Overall its a great stop and a nice place to bring friends when they stop by or to hang out whilst doing some work.
