So hard ice cream taste like it's made with love and care and their flavors always are rotating enough for you're never gonna be bored of what they have and if they don't have what you want, there's always enough selection where you're never gonna not find something if you're wanting to go there the only thing that's a downside is if you have not allergies or food allergies of any kind cross contamination is a problem. They tried to prevent it, but it happens. Our service is always good people there are chipper and happy to serve you.ambiance It is a great local place vary family friendly grate for kids as well read more

Solid creamery. Huge servings and reasonably priced (just over $4 for a single scoop which is really like 3 scoops). They had some unique flavors too. I tried the caramel almond which was rich without being overly sweet. Was very full after eating it but it was a great bite and the caramel swirls and almonds were mixed in consistently. My friend got the charlie brown which was a light peanut butter with chocolate ice cream. I usually don't like peanut butter and find it as a flavor to be very overpowering, but that flavor was also quite light. All around good creamery! read more

I love Gannon's! I've been coming here for over 25 years. I love their espresso chip ice cream the best but their have an array of freshly made flavors. Their portions are huge and their ice cream is so creamy and delicious. I highly recommend coming here! read more

I've been going to Gannons since I was a child. I will say--getting my classic orange sherbet with vanilla soft serve dusted in the crunch coat will forever be my go to. Unfortunately, my last experience wasn't good. As the worker began making my order, a roach crawled across the cashier's counter and under the cash register. Completely turned me off from going back here. Of course many establishments can have random crawlers hidden from our sight, but since this encounter was front and center, I can't stomach going back. read more

From the friendly staff to the laundry list of flavors offered, it's no wonder why Gannon's is the favorite local ice cream shop! The interior is always kept clean, they accept cash & card, and they always have a tip jar that's rightfully overflowing. read more

Gannon's Ice Cream - Pistachio Almond (8/10) & Birthday Cake (7/10); generous scoops and flavors were spot on! Birthday cake was just a little too sweet for me - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I've been here many, many times over the years and always get so bust trying to eat my ice cream before it melts that I forget to post a Yelp review! This is hands down the best ice cream place in all of Onondaga County. What sets it apart is that it is ALL homemade and uses really heavy cream, real fruit and nuts and real sugar. None of the crappy soft serve which is like comparing Cool Whip to home made heavy whipped cream. Need I say more? If you're reading this now, make a plan to stop by Gannon's today! read more

Gannon's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Tell me how I have grown up in Syracuse and have never gone to Gannon's. It took moving away, living in Buffalo for the last 13 years and seeing a bunch of old friends posting pictures on social media to finally hit up the ice cream shop in the Valley when visiting my parents this summer. I can't even begin to explain how quickly my 3 year old devoured his hot fudge sundae. I order a small berry twist for my baby- black raspberry and orange dole whip. It was AMAZING. My mother ordered an Oreo flurry and was blown away at how many pieces of cookie there was and how creamy the vanilla ice cream was. I ordered a scoop of dark chocolate ice cream FULL of brownie chunks and a scoop of kahula something. Both were so creamy and rich. I still can't believe how long it took me to get to this ice cream spot. I guarantee you'll enjoy these homemade treats. read more

You haven't had ice cream until you've had Gannon's homemade! What's not to love above fresh natural ingredients made into a plethora of creamy creative flavors? It's rich, it's decadent and it's real. I love that the flavor shines through and there is nothing artificial about it. As a chocoholic the Chocolate Pie ice cream can't be beat... until you try a different flavor and feel the same way! Definitely five stars!! read more

The best soft serve! Cute ice cream shop with plenty of available parking and great service. Even though it was 20 degrees out, I thoroughly enjoyed my soft serve. read more

Gannon's is truly, deeply, my happy place. Their ice cream is delicious, their flavors are unique, and it always brightens everyone's mood. There's sometimes a long line, but it is WELL worth the wait. The only bummer is when they close for the season, but it always makes their "reopening" day that much more exciting! Gannon's has been a part of my friend's bdays (with DELICIOUS ice cream cakes), graduations, and a pick-me-up after a hard day. My best friend is OBSESSED with their cake batter ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, and I am OBSESSED with the tollhouse flavor (brown sugar ice cream with thick chocolate chunks...what's not to love??). Definitely go as often as humanly possible during the season! read more

Hands down the best ice cream in the Syracuse area. I tried the location on McDonald road first but that was closed for the season so headed to the Valley. The fall hours in the valley are 12:00-8:00 very day. I love that they change flavors for the seasons, I got a pumpkin pie ice cream and it has bits of pie crust in the pumpkin ice cream and it was fabulous! I highly recommend if you like pumpkin pie (and who doesn't). read more

You know it's serious when you get into a debate in line about whether soft or hard ice cream is better ... BECAUSE BOTH ARE AWESOME AT GANNON'S!!! I opted for the Salt City Chocolate in a waffle cone and was terribly impressed with both the quality of the chocolate ice cream and the generosity of the salted caramel swirl. And that waffle cone was crispy and thin and flavorful - but not competing with the ice cream. Everyone in line (and it was a shockingly short one) was eager to celebrate their personal choice for best treat. Clearly, good ice cream makes people happy! This is not a worthy stop... it is an essential DESTINATION! read more

I have no idea why anyone would give this place any less than five stars. Parking? Yea it is packed because the ice cream is so good but you'll find a spot! Line? When I visited there was a pretty long line because who doesn't want some delicious ice cream on a warm summer day. Service? Above and beyond. The staff works well together to ensure customer satisfaction Flavors? Soooo many to choose from! Quality? The is one of the most creamiest ice creams I've had. I will definitely be back. If you're looking for a nice frozen treat, this is your place! read more

The best section of homemade ice cream in town. I love the artwork and the vibes are very cool. The server was nice and patient while we decided. You can do samples if you're undecided! Honestly even with the longer line we still weren't sure by the time we got to the window read more

I adore gannons so much. they have amazing soft serve including a unique CRUNCH COAT for their soft serve which has sprinkles and bits of cone and peanuts in it, the perfect texture pop to have with your soft serve. Their sundaes are also super yummy with lots of hard ice cream flavors to pick from (but not too many!! the perfect balance), try the salt city chocolate! the price for the portion sizes is super amazing because gannons does not skimp on their scoops and the workers are always super nice and quick with orders. 100/10 for this scrumptious local ice cream spot. read more

My husband & I are ice cream fanatics. Wherever we travel we always look for local ice cream shops, especially if it is homemade. We went to Gannon's last night as we were in Syracuse. Hands down, the best ice cream we ever had. It was so flavorful and creamy. The mint chip had big chunks of chocolate which I love. Highly recommend. read more

Great ice cream place with a variety of options and different flavors! You can get "hard" ice cream, "soft" ice cream and "soft" yoghurt. There's also sundaes and splits too. They have so many flavors like Black cherry, Coffee Craze, Mint choco, etc. Husband and I got a vanilla soft yoghurt (small) and a double scoop with Coffee Craze and Cookies and Cream. The sizes here are pretty big and even the small soft yoghurt was a lot! They're really generous with their portions so when in doubt, go with the smaller size! Definitely coming back! :D read more

Gannons is everything people say it is. What do people they say? One of the best ice cream places in the USA. Family run (you can donate to the kids college fund), it will likely be the owners serving you or working elsewhere, they will have 20 some hard ice creams for sale, all of them great. They also have soft serve, make shakes and malts, and you can get sundaes. Supurb ice cream. Plus the interior has fantistical art work on the wall. Order in and sit in the ac, or order outside and sit and enjoy the summer weather read more

Gannon's crunch coat is something that is so unique & something that you won't be able to get anywhere else! As a Syracuse Alumni, this is the best ice cream spot around town! My go to is the soft serve twist with the crunch coat that has a nutty & buttery texture. This line is fast moving & everything is reasonably priced. If you need ice cream, this is the place to go! read more

Gannon's Ice Cream has as a bright, vibrant feel to it, with its welcoming atmosphere! It helps that there is some great ice cream here as well! You are able to order outside or inside the establishment, so this helps especially on a nice warm day in the summer when more people are looking to get ice cream. They have seating both inside and outside. What I like inside is that the walls are full of artwork and murals that have a ice cream feel to them. This is why I mention it's very friendly towards kids, as you can definitely feel like a kid again eating inside. They have a wide variety of flavors here and I does seem they rotate many seasonal flavors. It looks like they have well over 30 flavors to choose from to get and make into sundaes. In addition, the menu also has shakes, slushes, smoothies, flurries, and etc. There even have some soft ice cream options and dipped ice cream (in chocolate, cherry, peanut butter, nuts). I opted to get two flavors on a cone, choosing the one scoop of Black Raspberry Truffle and Pistachio Almond on a waffle cone. Both flavors were great. The Black Raspberry Truffle was not an overwhelming flavor that I thought it could have been and I really enjoy Pistachios in general, so having almonds in there was a nice touch. And no the Pistachio is not a vibrant green, it is the natural color you expect it to be! With so many flavors here, I would be intrigued to return and try others! read more

Gannon's Ice Cream - Black Raspberry Truffle and Pistachio Almond on a waffle cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

I love Gannon's so much it hurts. I was devastated when they closed down their location in Destiny because it's super convenient. Can you not absolutely adore an ice cream place that makes their very own ice cream? Like why choose Perry's or Turkey Hill when you can get fresh, always tastier ice cream made locally? All homemade ice cream is the creamiest, most delightful, delectable ice cream, and you can whip up fun and creative flavors. Two flavors are fundamental, as in you should definitely try them, because they are my favorites: Chocolate raspberry truffle and sea salt. Such a remarkable contrast too. The sea salt is reminiscent of caramel, but it's just the right amount of savory to add to such a sweet treat. Then you have the deep, but not intense, chocolate with fudge-y chocolate truffle pockets and swirls of raspberry jam. There's a picture of me lost in the magic of these flavors that I will probably be embarrassed posting, but for the sake of telling you how delicious this place is, I will. What can I say? Ice cream is a miracle. It's cold, but it melts into a luxurious cream in your mouth and it's sweet and there are an abundance of flavors. Gannon's has pretzel, coffee java chip, Charlie Brown, lemon, espresso, mint, I'm probably not even remembering the exact ones/names, but let me just tell you that they feature some exciting combinations. Please go here. My friend once spotted Jim Boeheim here, soooo if that means anything to you, or if you are observant enough to see that there may be a correlation between Syracuse's basketball team's success and their coach frequenting Gannon's, then do yourself one and get a scoop (or three). read more

Best homeade ice cream! so good! all the employees absolutely the nicest!

Great flavors and selections. Friendly staff and fast service. Their fruit and berry twist is to die for

Don't post on fB your daily specials because you don't post daily so today you are out of the flavors we wanted. B) only one person of the all-female staff was actually working despite a longer line. The others just talked in the back. C) when we order pints from Gannon's ice cream, I didn't know until we opened them the it was all liquid at the top and soupy ice cream has run down the side of the containers of BOTH pints. Could you lower the temps on your freezers? This all happened around 3pm today. We hit the trifecta of you trying to sell your unfrozen product. Bad management, not posing your real daily flavors, lazy workers, and sub par ice cream due to your temperatures are my gripes. They can still turn it around though. read more

Delicious ice cream! Hard scoop coffes yummy. Pumpkin and apple great! Love the lemon lime in the summer soft serve.

Fat content is what makes ice cream DELICIOUS! This is by far the creamiest ice cream in Central New York state. And the available flavors will certainly satisfy even the outlier flavors people seek. You gotta try for yourself read more

The best ice cream. Delicious and original flavors. If you want to sample because you're not sure, just ask.

Gannon's has consistently good ice cream and service. We've been coming here for years and look forward to the first hot spell of the year so we can come back again. read more

Milkshake was good but a little thin. My husband got a scoop of hard ice cream and enjoyed it.

Q: Why would you order ice cream when it's freezing outside in Syracuse? A: When it's Gannon's ice cream... And if you really think about it, the ice cream is actually warmer than the Syracuse winter outside. With a ton of flavors and friendly service, Gannon's is definitely on my Syracuse bucket list whenever I visit town. I especially like the almond bark, the Charlie brown, Rocky Mountain Raspeberry, and their brownie fudge (can you tell I like chocolate?). Usually you can sample a few, but the choice will be difficult indeed! The hot apple sundae was also excellent. And don't forget their soft ice cream flavors! Everything I've had here has been super creamy and wonderful. The decor inside is a little bit freaky (think disturbing/cannibalistic animated ice cream cartoon murals http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=MowgkrZB_wvC5GimuXiF6w&select=aqWNTf6EPECbp3_tZY4crQ) but I'm sure the kiddies love it. Would be a great place for a kid's party! I highly recommend getting a child's scoop (an adult small scoop is about the size of a slightly squished baseball). You can also take pints to go and call ahead to order. They also accept credit cards. read more

big fan of the monster milk shake, its just a massive creamy cold goodness of ice cream milky goodness. My go to is strawberry or vanilla. Gannons is a local favorite ad everyone should try it at least once :) read more

The best ice cream place by far. Their homemade hard flavors are amazing and they have a huge variety of options. A bit pricey, but worth it. The sizes are fairly generous. You don't even need toppings on their ice cream; it's good enough as it is. Literally every flavor here is delicious, it just depends on your mood. My favs are chocolate raspberry, Charlie Brown, and fudge chunk. read more

This was a cute spot! Granted, it was a little far out of the way but worth it! It was a sweet atmosphere and the staff was very helpful. To be fair, since there was no seating (due to COVID-19) inside, I had to take my ice cream home. By the time I had it, it was melted. Not their fault of course, but I'm looking forward to revisiting to get a fuller experience! They had fun seasonal flavors, such as apple pie, pumpkin, and pumpkin chip. They had all the classic flavors too! I tried 3, and my favorite was the butter pecan flavor! I would recommend going during the day so you can enjoy ice cream in the parking lot. read more

If you haven't tried Gannon ice cream then you haven't lived. This place knows how to make the most flavorful, creamy ice cream ever. And the only state I've not had ice cream is Alaska. I do have a complaint though. Only one complaint... They really ought to have a shop in Boston. PeterG read more
