Miss the bubblegum ice cream, it was so good. Nice chill vibes. Friendly service. Bring back the bubble gum.

Great local ice cream place! It's walkable from anywhere in downtown Lockport. The staff provide quick and polite service. I ordered the oatmeal cookie ice cream and it was great. This place can get crowded on warm nights and weekends, but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend. read more

This nostalgic ice cream parlor with a 50s vibe originally a Baptist Church in the mid 1800's currently serves handmade ice cream .... wonderful staff and an array of delicious flavored ice cream ..This place has seasonal hours open from mid April to mid November if I'm correct..I really enjoy their homemade baked goods sometimes they throw a special baked item ...there is parking on the side and there are inside tables and benches outside to enjoy your ice cream ..if you're visiting Lockport I definitely would make a trip here ..and across the street to beanies candy store... read more

A staple in Lockport for a reason. Always friendly. Always awesome flavor selections.

I played Yelp Roulette and found this ice cream joint nearby after playing disc golf. It was an epic treasure to find! There are so many choices of ice cream! About half of the choices are homemade, plus a few more toothpaste Vegan variety made in store. Then they have quite a few flavors from local ice cream distributors. I had to go with a homemade choice so I picked Peanut Butter Party. It is Peanut Butter ice cream with cookie dough and chocolate ribbon or chips. This ice cream was amazing! First of all, the peanut butter did not overwhelm the ice cream but was a very smooth flavor. I got a milkshake and the cookie dough pieces were blended well into it with the chocolate flavor. This is one of the best ice cream shops I have been to due to the variety and flavor. read more

Yum yum yum. Awesome local ice cream place with a lot of great flavors. They are always kind and let you try samples. There is space both inside and outside to enjoy your ice cream. Plus, there is a public parking lot right next door. Classic summer time place to go! read more

We stopped in on National Ice Cream Day. We were glad we did. This is nice local homemade ice cream shop. Staff were hustling and the line moved along steadily. Lots of seating options in and outside. The downtown Lockport district is a nice bonus. You can walk, people watch and take in the sights all while noshing on some great treats. Will repeat. read more

I've been going to this place since the 90s they have great Ice cream and serve big portions

Best ice cream in town. My favorite is Heavenly Hazelnut and the hand-made choco-tacos, but I haven't had a flavor I regret ordering yet. Fairly priced, generous portions, and friendly staff. They even offer ice cream treats for your 4-legged family members! read more

"It's bussin bussin" - my 8 year old. The owner is so nice and it's wonderful having Cool Creations in our backyard.

Super cute spot to take your kids to or friends. I enjoyed the atmosphere with a throw back vibe. The hazelnut ice cream is hands down the best I've had. read more

Such a cute ice cream shop and great quality ice cream. They even have homemade ice cream tacos. i was disappointed they were out of cookies and cream ice cream and waffle bowls. I was ready to give them five stars until my brother in law pulled a long blonde hair out of his ice cream. They should really have employees wear hairnets or keep there here back in a hat. read more

Cool Creations is hands down the best place around to get ice cream. Fairly priced, you get your money's worth for sure. Just check out the picture attached! Too bad they are only opened seasonally. read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream parlors in my town. If you are looking for a great Ice cream place to eat, then this is the place! Their homemade Ice creams are second to none! Even though this Lockport business is only open for select seasons, it is a true sign of how good a local ice cream place can be! read more

Where do I start?!!!! I feel like I gain 10lbs every summer because of cool creations AMAZING ice cream. That's a positive 10lbs The staff is always friendly and very helpful.

You will not be disappointed read more

the girls who work there are so sweet & chill, i feel bad when big groups come in & give them a hard time they're on fire back there!!

Quaint little old-school ice cream parlor in the heart of downtown Lockport's historic district. Usually places like this can be lax in quality/selection, but Cool Creations has a genuine concern for their product and customers that shows thru on every level. Ice cream, sherbet, artesinal gelato, homemade cones - you name it, they do it exceptionally well. read more

Two scoop cup was amazing amount and the two flavors I chose were excellent. Friendly staff. Made us feel like she was happy to see us.

This is my absolute favorite ice cream in the entire world! The portions are huge, the staff is friendly, the price is reasonable. I wish I could give this establishment 10 stars!! read more

I love ice cream and have tried to try it here for a while, I am glad they are finally open. I ordered red velvet, a new taste sensation, and it was fun to experience a new flavor. I also enjoyed the sitting/eating area of the shop. It was cute with plump red cushion seats and darling tables. I wish the serving area had been nearly as cute. It was a mess and a more than a bit off putting. There were boxes and junk all over the place. That area of the store looked like they had just opened the door and not done a thing. And the woman (manager? owner?) joking that she was going to lay down on the floor and cry, um, pretty much weird. Ice cream - 4 Store - 5 for sitting, 2 for ordering/serving Personnel - 4 for young gals/1 for older woman I would try it again but I sure hope they make the front part of the store more appealing and keep odd emotional life reactions in the back! read more

My favorite ice-cream shop! I always get the cotton candy chip but lately they have been offering the birthday cake which amazing! Omg I lie this place. Have been coming here for years. The serving size is huge and the prices fair. I always miss this ice-cream when they close for the season. read more

Meh. Just okay. My first disappointment was the ambiance. Walking through the front door, your eyes are immediately drawn to the seating area on the right of the shop - beautiful, plush, gleaming red vinyl booths. My heart skipped a beat in anticipation of lounging at one of those lovely tables to enjoy *homemade* ice cream. My bubble burst upon turning to the left, where it would appear their stockroom projectile-vomited all over the rest of the establishment. Large boxes and supplies were strewn everywhere, including the service counter. Really, really unappealing. At the time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they might've received a shipment of inventory earlier in the day that was yet to be put away. After our visit, I was shocked to read some other reviews to learn this condition is apparently the norm. Alrighty then! My second disappointment was that despite several advertisements of 'Homemade Ice Cream' on the exterior of the building, all of the five flavors my family selected (and seemingly all available in the freezer case, as well) were scooped from bins with an obscure brand name on them. Maybe at one point in time the ice cream is/was homemade, but not the day we happened to visit. The ice cream itself was average; everyone agreed it was nothing memorable. The two teenage employees who served us were very pleasant; however, they could benefit from a little sales training. My Hubs asked some questions about the ingredients in a few flavors with ambiguous names, and was met with blank stares and stammering. Though he didn't inquire, from my experiences at other ice cream shops, I would've expected for them to offer him a sample of the flavors he was asking about. I love to support local, mom & pop businesses, but don't plan a return trip to this one. Cool Creations could really be something special if the ownership put a little more love & effort into not only the establishment itself, but also the kids in the community they're employing. read more

This is a go to spot in Lockport. Best ice cream in Lockport. They have really interesting flavor options and silly names for some of their ice cream. The only complaint I have is that it isn't open all year long but it's a smart move on their part. Especially with COVID. I hope this place weathers the storm of the pandemic. It's a gem. read more

One thing that I love the most about summers growing up was when this opened for the season. Oh how my eyes got big and my tummy giggled with anticipation. I think my parents knew to get me a drool cup when they told me we were going for the first time for the summer. No place in CA will ever compare to the HOMEMADE ice creams made here in a variety of flavors from the original vanilla to superman. (Oh god someone send me home so I can go get some superman ice cream now please). It's located near State Street, next to the Public Library and the bank, across from a bicycle shop. Eat inside or out on picnic style benches. Get taste test scoops. If you want more than just a cone you can get tubs of it to bring home as well. All ice cream is made right there at the location. They also have cookies, brownies, and other assorted pastries. It's been around since I was a toddler and now going home I bring my own kids there (thanks for making me feel old). Everyone is bound to love it here. It is a MUST STOP during the summer. read more

For a little hole in the wall this has some good stuff price are fair and reasonable selection plentiful staff very friendly plus bring you 4 legged pal with room out front for both of you AND they have stuff for them read more

Great ice cream (try the Hawaiian Delight), brownies and chocolate covered bananas. The no bathroom thing is unfortunate, so make sure you make prior arrangements. They have seating inside and out, and there is usually a crowd on summer nights. They do not accept debit/credit cards so bring cash! read more

Well, I have a slightly different opinion of this ice cream shop. Yes the choice of gelato, sorbetto and ice cream is a nice plus and the ice cream is good and you get a big serving for the price asked. Yet I expect a local shop to actually serve its community and provide a friendly service. So here is where my rating went down the drain: - no water available to go with your ice cream, not really nice when you've been biking the I&M canal trail and you just want a nice break. - no restrooms for customers, restrooms are for employees only. Are you kidding me? - Well, the kids serving the ice cream could be a bit more customers friendly as well.... So yep, good ice cream but doesn't deserves your money. read more

We love this cozy ice cream shop. It is inside a historical building. They have many varieties of ice cream. I personally like the sorbets and gelatos, because I am lactose intolerant. The rest of my family says the ice cream is the best around! read more
