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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
2023 Trumansburg Farmers market. This is a one scoop cone for $6.75. Wide variety of flavors were available.
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!
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!
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.
Yummy yummy yummy! Please stop by for this delicious ice cream if your looking for some darn good stuff. Do it! Just to the 2 scoop.. it's o my a dollar more. You'll enjoy it, treat yourself
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
Delicious as always. Travel to their Interlaken location on the west side of Cayuga Lake. Admire the lazy bumblebees that mosy around prior to entering the building. The interior is the same as always, while the available flavors are unpredictable, but a taste makes everything right in the world. Their flavor menu has been updated to indicate which flavors contain gluten and which ones don't. They also now have a protocol for those with strict gluten allergies. This time it was spring, so they didn't have my favorite Jalepeno Popper this time around. But they did have Lavender. For the second and third scoops we got Pistachio, followed by Butter Pecan. As a reminder, they use 14 percent buttermilk, and their ice cream emphasizes FLAVOR over sugar. Despite the high fat content, their ice cream doesn't feel heavy while you're eating it. Take that as a warning, since you might feel it after you consume too much. The Lavender was fantastically floral. The Pistachio was like eating Pistachios. Each flavor is exactly as described. Previously, I had also gotten my coworkers ice cream from here several years prior. Hand-packed into pints, you'll need a serious amount of self-control to avoid finishing them in a single sitting. They've also opened up a location in DeWitt Mall on the Seneca Street side of the commons. read more

Right down the road from Fingerlakes Cider is a small shop with an outside window and pickup. A decent number of flavors available, and the portion sizes are decent, so even though a local told us the prices were a bit high, I found the price to portion size about right. I ordered pistachio, and there were a ton of pistachios in it, although it was green which to me means they put artificial colors in their ice cream, and it was a bit heavy for me. My friend got the peanut butter ripple flavor, and he said it was good. There were quite a few places to sit and enjoy the ice cream outside, including a shaded park. 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

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

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 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

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

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 got the Apple Spice ice cream, AWESOME!! I have never had it anywhere else. The waffle cone is great (the dipped chocolate and sprinkles cone is a bit too much with the ice cream, just the plain is recommended). 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

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

Wow! To preface I am not the biggest fan of ice cream, it all tastes the same after a few bites to me. But this gem was truly some of the best ice cream I've had- on par with the likes of salt and straw. I rarely finish a whole scoop - but at this place I did and wanted more. This is a charming mom and pop side of the road ice cream joint with an impressive array of flavors. Each scoop can be turned into 2 flavors. We tried the the lavender honey, Seneca caramel, rum raisin and wine Rosie strawberry- all absolutely on point , the kind of quality you get at a boutique ice creamery( at a much cheaper price) You can tell they source their ingredients local , it's fresh and true to flavor . They also give generous home made waffle cone samples at he tables which in itself is delicious. Overall super impressed and glad to have stumbled on it during a post hike - I wish they existed in major cities - definitely highly recommend!! read more
