This place is awesome. We came one night for dessert and another night for dinner…read more Both were delicious. Ambiance: 5/5 It is a fun & lively diner style place. Ice cream on one side and food on the other. The seating are was very clean and plentiful. Ordering is easy (except when deciding what flavor ice cream to get). Service: 5/5 Everyone was kind & helpful. There is always someone cleaning the dining area. Food: 5/5 The ice cream is delicious. There are so many flavors and options on the menu. For the dining options, we chose hamburgers & fries and they were so good. If you want a no nonsense burger, come here. We will definitely be back!

So creamy and a large portion size too…read more In addition to ice cream by the scoop, there are also full coolers of ice cream and other desserts to go, as well as apparel and other fun things. The students were friendly too, and there were plenty of tables that were clean too. I'd love to come back here again the next time I'm in town.

This place has a soft space in my heart, so that might skew my review. As an alum, I spent too much…read moretime here during my undergrad days. After not being there for a while, this was legitimately my first stop on campus when visiting. Went straight from the airport and got some scoops. Even on days when the temperature dipped below zero, I found myself wanting ice cream from Dairy Bar when I was a student. Years later, I'm happy to say that the flavors were still as good as I hoped. There are times when nostalgia can carry or elevate a memory of something, and luckily, nostalgia aside, I very much enjoyed my ice cream here. Pro tip for those who might not know: they serve limited flavors of the same Cornell-made ice cream in dining halls. They also serve it during the buffets at Statler Hotel. I love the different flavors, and would eat it at any time of day.

Home-made soft-serve and sorbet! Great flavors!…read more We found Sweet Melissa's Ice Cream shortly after lunch. (Jul 2026) We had to try their ice cream bars: homemade lemon chocolate chip ice cream, with a coat of crumbled lemon cookies, half-dipped in homemade dark-chocolate shell! Clever and delicious! We also had a dish of homemade Blueberry Guava sorbet! Intense red-purple color and sweet frozen flavor! Great summer treats! We ate faster than they melted :-)

Cute seasonal ice cream spot in Ithaca!…read more Located in downtown- the line can get pretty long in the evenings- even on weekdays. Cash only so be prepared. I am partial to soft serve but have tried both their hard icecream and soft serve. I prefer their soft serve but wish they had more flavors. I tried the classic chocolate twist and the two berry twist soft serves. In the two berry twist, I didn't like the pink flavor- it was too icy and more like a sorbet/dole whip than true soft serve. I liked the purple flavor thought! Overall, I still frequent Sweet Melissa's for softserve close to Cornell! Would recommend!

Tons of flavors and types. Milkshakes, sundaes and even milkshakes with sundaes on top. I had a swirl cone (twist in the south). Wayyyyy bigger and better than anything the south. It was all I could think about after driving 1,000 miles. The employees completely lacked any semblance of personality but that didn't make the ice cream taste any less epic. Overall, parking sucks a lot and maybe the staff could smile once or twice. This location will always be a staple in Richford for many generations to come.
