After hiking the Gorge Trail at Taughannock Falls State Park earlier in the morning, we decided lunch would be appropriate so we stopped at this restaurant/creamery. We each ordered the days special - a hot dog, chips and a slice of pickle. Nothing special, but pretty good as was our service. read more

Cayuga Lake Creamery was a great ice cream stop. They have a large selection of homemade ice cream and they have hard, soft, custard and sundaes to choose from. They also have some savory food options if you're interested in that. The ice cream was great, my wife enjoyed the cake batter and her waffle cone and I got the Reese's pieces sundae which was incredible! I got the small and it was way more than enough. Only go large if you haven't had food in 24 hours. The place was busy but we really had no wait at all. The team was working fast back there. Prices are average for ice cream nowadays and I thought portions were appropriate. They have an inside and outside eating area attached to the creamery and there is more outside down the hill where there is extra parking as well. It's nothing special inside but for an overly hot day nice to have. The outside down the hill provides shade so that is nice as well. Either way a great stop for ice cream if you are in the area. Enjoy! read more

I wish they were open during winter! There's something about how they make their ice cream that is quite special. One must be the quality of dairy and ingredients they use. They don't put in excessive sugar; you can taste the underlying flavors of the ingredients. They had a massive flavor menu. It rotates, seasonally. What am I partial to? Ginger, Lavender, Strawberry, Jalepeno Popper, Cinnamon, Gianduia, Butter Pecan, Pistachio, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Spice, Rum Raisin, Tiramisu, Eggnog. You can ask them to pack pints for you to take home. But there's a possibility you might just eat it all in one go. Their parking lot was still gravel the last time I was there. There is some seating both inside and outside. read more

I know good quality ice cream when I see it. I had to try Cayuga Lake Creamery when I saw them at the Trumansburg farmers market. After trying their Lemon Sorbet and Purple Cow ice cream, I knew I had to visit their store. I went to the Interlaken store and got 2 scoops of the Purple Cow ice cream. Purple Cow is black raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chips. It's so creamy and heavenly. Where I'm from, I don't come across unique flavors like that. Overall, a great establishment with quick service and delicious ice cream. read more

Just off State Rt 89 you'll find a little shack and a dirt lot in front which actually sells more than just the ice cream suggested by their name and size of the building. Indoor seating was still closed when I went, but I think it's more charming to order from the windows anyway. We got Peanut Butter Ripple, Maple Bacon and Seneca Sea Salt Caramel in waffle cones. As a healthcare worker, I got a 15% discount because, I guess COVID has its perks. It's still on the pricey side but the baseball-sized scoops are nothing to scoff at. The crowd (of two) favorite was Seneca Sea Salt. The Maple Bacon was fine, but I wished the bacon bits were a little more caramelized or crispy rather than the chewy lumps I would get with each bite. It's not the most amazing ice cream I've had in my life, but it does really hit the spot. The sweetest treat was the little bit of chocolate in the bottom of each waffle cone. I'm not sure I'd be tempted by the savory items on the menu like the chili and burgers, yet a fair amount of people seem to get them based on the Yelp pictures. Taking off a star because the employees who were there the day I went were very lackluster and seemed to be impatient to get back to chatting in the scoop room. We had to keep going back and knocking on the window to get their attention to get a spoon or napkin because they forgot to hand these to us our first go around. read more

I've had ice cream from Fulton ny to painted post and I can confidently say this is the best ice cream I've had so far. The waffle cones are superior to any I've had as well. I expected to wait awhile but they were very fast as well read more

Oh my goodness!! This ice cream is so creamy and full of all the chunks in the flavor of your choice. I had passionate peanut butter cup and my husband and cherries jubilee with chunks of dark chocolate. Scoops are the size of baseballs and were served in homemade waffle cones. We will be back because there are more flavors to try. read more

SO many amazing flavors to choose from! Creamy, hand made ice cream with a cute outdoor setting to sit and enjoy your treats. I love coconut, and it's hard to find so I got a scoop or that and lavender. They have food specials every day. I wish I got lunch there as well. Beautiful ride out there! read more

Beware that if you come in a "van" they will not serve you - even if there are only 6 of in your group Beyond disappointed to have waited inline for 15 minutes for us to go up to the window for them to ask "did you come in the van" and then telling us we will not serve you, it's a new policy we're trying. They turned us away and then proceeded to serve the group of 5 behind us that came in a van & just didn't park in their driveway read more

Simply delicious ice cream with unique flavors and generous serving size. Service with a smile but the seating area leaves much to be desired down by the swamped falling down play area. read more

A gem! I looked up places for food near the waterfall we visited and this place came up. I wanted real food and this place had desserts and real food. There was a lady here who said the coffee is really good too! I ordered the purple cow in a special waffle conex dipped in chocolate with sprinkles and my boyfriend got a special cone with peanuts and chocolate ice cream. The texture of the ice cream was so creamy and rich. I've never had such fantastic ice cream before. I really wish there were more of these near me! The price was a little steep and the shop wasnt as colorful as other ice cream places I've been to, but the ice cream really makes up for it. It wasnt too sweet and the combination of the chocolate coat on the cone and the ice cream was just perfect. Order inside rather than being dummies like us and ordering outside! There are tables to sit both inside and outside. The staff are nice too which is a plus. Definitely planning on coming again when I'm in the area! read more

It's been about a year, but I just wanted to have a review down. It was perhaps the best ice cream we (myself, my husband, and my in laws) had ever had. Hard to put my finger on, but it came down to something about the quality of the milk that really stunned us. Will definitely be back if I'm ever remotely in the area. read more

Very tasty, creamy ice cream. The homemade cones were on the staler side when we had them, and the service was slow (2 man show for a whole line of people). We had pistachio - very very good, coffee - very very coffee, and salted caramel - mostly caramel tasting. read more

Tasty ice cream and a kiddy portion is huuuuge. They have food outside of ice cream as well, like burgers, grilled cheeses and sometimes soups (although they were out of soups at this time). The 4.25 for a kiddie scoop on a cone was huuuge. I had the butter pecan and it took me like 10 minutes to finish the whole cone and it was bigger than what I would have expected. The ice cream was definitely creamy and delicious! read more

We came here based on a recommendation and I'm so glad we did. This ice cream shop has some unique flavors and of course the standards. I ordered the coffee toffee which I loved and my daughter had the single scoop of salted caramel in a waffle cone. Hers was very generous for a single scoop. Great ice cream with ample outdoor seating. read more

Great place to stop on vacation. The best ice cream place in town! Friendly service to boot.

Super cute place! With yummy homemade ice cream and waffle cones, along with daily "real food" specials such as grilled cheese and tomato soup this place is the perfect little stop for any occasion! They even have bags of finger-lakes coffee grounds and take home pints of ice cream! I mean, what's not to love? Peanut butter ripple is great but I'd have to say the air conditioned seating is better. Kidding! But it is great that you can both order and eat inside. So, no matter how hot(or cold) it is you can still enjoy your ice cream! The only I would change is adding more flavors. There's about 10 flavors right now, which considering it's homemade ice cream, is quite impressive. Still more options would be nice. read more

One of the creamiest ice cream ever ! After a few tastings of fingerlakes famous dry reislings, I needed something delicious to fulfill my sweet tooth, what's better than ice cream? Creamyy delicious ice cream of course We asked to sample a few flavors before deciding two large scoops of ice cream. We tried peachy keen, purple cow, and coconut almond fudge. We ended up getting purple cow and the coconut almond fudge on a waffle cone! The waffle cone is a must, they make it fresh on site and it was delicious! That crunchy waffle taste with a little bit of ice cream flavor was ohhhh my god. We wanted to try their wine sorbet/ ice cream and was so disappointed to see that they were sold out! Guess I can use that as an excuse to have my bf take me again...until next time read more

It is located inside the Ithaca Mall close to the theater. I tried the mocha chocolate kiddie scoop for $4. The scoop size was more like a regular size so $4 is worth the price and very flavorful. It's not overly sugary but just right. They have a nice selection of flavors. read more

Rich, creamy flavors that you won't find elsewhere, ample seating and parking (there's a second lot down a little hill), and a bathroom inside with more tables. Scoops are average size so can can order up and try another flavor for an additional $1 a scoop. The website lists current flavors, but they did not match what was currently offered so I was a little disappointed the one I was looking forward to wasn't actually there read more

Cayuga Lake Creamery was one of our vendors at my wedding this past July and it was definitely one of the highlights of our day! We opted for a full sundae station so people could choose flavors and customize what they wanted. The owners were wonderful to work with and made everything so easy and straightforward even when we wanted to change up the flavors. On the night of our wedding, I went for the Sea Salt Caramel and it was some of the most satisfyingly creamy and delicious ice cream I have ever had! My dad used to take me to their Interlaken location so it also had the nostalgia factor but somehow it tasted even better than I remembered. People were raving about it! My husband and I stayed in Ithaca the week after and made a point to go to their location in the Dewitt Mall as well and it was well worth it. Cayuga Lake Creamery is some of the best ice cream around! read more

We were visiting finger lakes for the first time and wanted to try some ice cream along with the obvious wines/beers. I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur/snob. I didn't see much of interest on menu. Looking for a coconut/pistachio which they didnt have. Found a strawberry cheesecake under the "limited edition" or specials menu. Lol the kicker - .25 cents more per scoop. Who the hell charges more money per scoop based on flavor? Annoying. Anyway, it was close to 8 dollars for two scoops in waffle cone. Very expensive. The ice cream was awful! No cheesecake pieces and the majority of the "ice cream" was this weird almost like strawberry jam (see picture). Not going back here again when visiting. read more

We were on our way to Cayuga Lake State Park and decided to stop by here for a sweet craving after our hiking trip. They offer sugar free, gluten free and non-dairy ice cream flavors. Their purple cow flavor was the creamiest but less sweet ice cream I have ever tasted. I have enjoyed it as I enjoyed the color. A scoop serving was more than enough. Price is reasonable. There are plenty of parking and benches available. Free water service. They offer more than ice cream inside their place like real food. Hands down to the service. A recommended stop-over. read more

Stopped by while camping in Ithaca. This place is worth the drive if you're stopping at nearby wineries or Taughannock State Park. The ice cream is definitely creamier and richer than the other popular ice cream options in Ithaca. It's really pricey, with a single scoop ringing up at $5 plus tax. The portions are generous though, so two people could easily share a scoop or two. We tried Kahlua Almond Fudge and Seneca Salt Caramel. Of the two, Seneca Salt was my fave - it had a stronger flavor and creamier, silky texture. May be too sweet for people who don't love caramel. The Fudge had a subtle Kahlua flavor, with nice veins of gooey fudge. It was slightly crystalized though, which messed up the texture. read more

The ice cream is good but it is super expensive, so I don't think it's worth the price. $4.50 for a kids cup. I got the chocolate malt with whoppers (really tasty and creamy) and my husband got the mint chocolate chip (didn't like the mint flavor). I've heard the rum raisin is very good, but I didn't get to try it. Plenty of parking and a little play area for the kids outside. Nice stop to break up your wine tour. read more

You can drive forever on Rt 96 and not find a place to grab a bite. I was starving so I stopped at the Creamery not knowing what they had beyond ice cream. I was pleased to find a varied lunch menu. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. The attendant said well, if you get the special which is the sandwich, soup, and chips, it is actually cheaper. The sandwich is only $3.50 so cheaper than that - yes let's do it. Bacon and tomato on the sandwich? No, just tomato please. OK, that will be $7.00. I'm no mathematician but I'm pretty sure 7 is greater than 3. Whatever, I was starving. I got my food after about a 15 min wait and hit the road. The sandwich was dry as dirt and didn't have any tomato. The soup was OK, probably out of a can and only 3/4 cup (I measured it when I got home). Chips are chips. I hear they have good ice cream though. read more

Since there were so many great flavors on the wall, we decided to go with the Taster's Choice, which is a sampler that comes with five mini-scoops of any flavor you choose. They were all delicious! You can taste the freshness of the milk in the ice cream, which is homemade on site and I believe is sourced from local cows. We decided to go with the pistachio, chocolate chunk (vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate chips- my favorite), chocolate, purple cow (black raspberry with chocolate chunks- my husband's favorite) and sea salt caramel. The Taster's Choice would've been better suited for a family of four since their "mini-scoops" were actually normal single-serving scoops. However, my husband has a sweet tooth and was able to plow through and finished the remaining flavors! I probably got through about a scoop and a half. This was definitely a great stop on our way to Taughanock Falls and Seneca Lake! read more

I feel obligated to write this review because I have not seen many reviews regarding custom ice cream cakes. I ordered over the phone a cake with 2 hard ice cream flavors and the chocolate crunchies in the middle for an extra charge. I was warned that the 2 flavors I chose, butter pecan and pistachio, might not be in stock at their main location and that they could potentially get it from their location in the Ithaca Mall. They had me select 2 backup flavors in case they couldn't acquire my first 2 choices, so I selected mocha chocolate chunk and coffee. Surprisingly, they could not immediately give me the price of the cake at the time I placed the order. They had to call me back to tell me. A few days later, I called the store to confirm that it would be ready for pickup. I was told the cake was not quite finished, but it would be ready at the time I requested to pick it up. I also asked what flavors were in the cake because I still did not know at this point, and I was told butter pecan and pistachio. I was pleased when I went to the store 4 hours later and the cake was ready at the scheduled time. Everyone was confused after we sliced and served the cake. It was not butter pecan or pistachio. It was mocha chocolate chunk and vanilla. As you can see from the picture, the cake is primarily vanilla ice cream. It was a disappointment. I feel scammed because I was given something I had not ordered. If they couldn't acquire 3 out of the 4 flavor options I gave them, they should have called me so that I could consider alternative options because I would have never selected vanilla. The worst part is that they lied to me over the phone when they said the cake was butter pecan and pistachio. I do think they have great ice cream, but I would consider other options when ordering a custom ice cream cake. read more

Good about sums it up. it was a hot day so we stopped on the way back to our campsite. on the pricy side. Ice cream was good.

Soft serve machine broken. Boyfriend asked for chocolate dip, worker said he would check on chocolate dip, boyfriend given ice cream with no dip and no answer in if there's dip until after we paid for chocolate dip. I ordered snickers, was told after we paid there was no snickers. I asked for s'mores, there was no s'mores. Employees were more concerned with emptying tip jar than helping us who were next in line. We showed with still a half hour left of business, they should have been ready to serve. read more

Super delish homemade ice cream. This place was like a goldmine on a GROSS rainy day, so that says something right? Very refreshing ice cream. Creamy and not too sweet and some exotic flavors. Mint chip wasn't artificially tasting and Bee Sting with espresso beans was yummy as was cookie dough. They have a cute little train down by the mini waterfall for kids. But it was rainy so we couldn't check it out. Super cute yummy ice cream read more

There are lots of creamery few miles around the area but this place is often packed with cars... And no Buses allowed. My Favorite and the only one I could pick and eat.. Their raspberry no sugar added/ no fat 1 scoop on a cup. This place has variety of home made ice cream flavors smooth and tasty with home made waffles and cones. Price is reasonable but you must add $0.25 cents for any special flavor per scoop but really it's worth the added cents. Crowded most of the time. The staff are friendly and nice. I can bump it to 5 stars for their ice cream but I'm giving it a 4. Hopefully, I'll get the chance again to Try this. read more
