    Options options and more options! Our family visited here last month this was my husband's ice cream shop growing up as a kid and I quickly realized how delicious it was! So many topping options so many self-serve and specialty flavors I was blown away by the options. Coming from Oklahoma we definitely don't have an ice cream shop that offers even half of the selection is this place does. Helpful tip bring cash as cash only is accepted! Their ice cream is so thick and melts right in your mouth. I got the bubble gum flavor which has chunks of bubble gum throughout it was delicious!

    Binghamton dessert staple since the 1950's that now boast lots of conventional homemade offerings: soft serve, hard serve, milkshakes, and sundaes. Feeling unconventional? Check out the "something different" menu: banana bar, big-witch, cyclone, ice cream sandwich, mini-witch, Rice Krispie bar, slush, nuttie buddie. Did I mention you can dip/top your treats with peanut butter, fudge, sprinkles and more? SWEET!!! HEAD'S UP!!! They only accept cash (minus 1 Star) but...service is attentive, polite, quick and accurate; that's a tall order with our group of 10 today. Extra points for offering samples without grief! After tasting the hard serve bubble gum and Boston cream, I settled on baby sized soft serve twist of blackberry and vanilla in a dish. DELICIOUS! Others opted for blackberry/raspberry twists on a cone, coffee with chocolate sprinkles on a cone, pistachio on a cone, vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles on a cone, bubble gum in a dish (*sing the song*), chocolate vanilla twist soft serve on a cone, and more. Our battalion had their sweet tooth's satisfied for $35. The outdoor seating area was a great option for enjoying our treats on a beautiful NY afternoon. Though sufficient for our visit, parking is limited which is probably why they don't run a drive-thru.

    Ok so this is not your typical ice cream place. This is next level ice cream. You can tell from your first bite that the ice cream is homemade, it just hits different. Make sure that you bring cash as they are cash only. The prices are super low for what you're getting. I ordered a small which has two scoops of ice cream and I added rainbow sprinkles because I'm a millennial and it's what we do. But I also had to order my dog a Sunday since I'm a millennial and, again, that's what we do. He waited in the car with the windows down since the asphalt was too hot for him to get out. When he saw me coming back to the car with his Sunday he was so excited. As you can see in the pictures he thoroughly enjoyed his Sunday and gave it to paws up. He saved his milk bones for last. My ice cream was absolutely delicious. Homemade ice cream hits different. It's just superior to all other ice cream. If you haven't been here I suggest that you do. They also have some cute picnic style seating that's shaded in the back by the parking lot. There are so many flavor choices everyone can find some thing that they will love. I can see why this is a stop on the Taste NY ice cream map (see Taste NY website for the full list). I haven't had ice cream like this since I was a kid. I am so glad that I live a couple miles away because I will be going back.

    Chocolate Almond milk soft serve on cone

    THE MOST Wonderful homemade ice cream in Binghamton! These guys have been a staple in the community for years and I know why! The ice cream is always soooo good! Homemade hard or velvety creamy soft serve! You can't go wrong with anything you get here. I had(this time ) the vanilla chocolate twist soft serve with peanut butter hard dip topping! A peanut buttery hard shell that crunches when you bite into the smooth soft serve underneath, all atop a buttery crunchy GF cone! You know I love my GF items! They are super conscientious of allergies of all types which I appreciate! Eat fast on hot days it melts fast LOL! My friend, who is vegan, couldn't stop singing praises of the almond milk soft serve in chocolate also on a wonderful cone! Ok if it's so good...why only 4 stars! Well with all aside convenience matters and Sadly these guys only take cash. I can understand the reasons but convenience is King! Hope you will consider it in the future! If not, no worries I fully intend to keep making it rain dollar bills Update!!!! The soft serve has been really icy lately and I am not sure if they water down the hard shell dip...it has been super runny making it difficult to eat with the ice cream melting through the shell. Do you guys water down the dip toppings?

    Small black raspberry and vanilla twist soft serve in a waffle cone!

    Jones Humdinger is about as good as it gets when it comes to ice cream. Growing up in the area, getting to go here on a hot summer day was the best thing ever! I love their soft serve ice cream. My favorite is the black raspberry and vanilla twist in a waffle cone. My second favorite is a chocolate and vanilla twist with a peanut butter dip. YUM! This place is awesome! If they ever converted to an indoor store I would be there even in the dead of winter for the stuff! My one and only complaint is that the fluorescent yellow lights attract bugs and especially SPIDERS. I am talking about the biggest, fattest, nastiest looking spiders that nightmares are made of. I understand that this place serves food so there are the obvious health concerns of spraying the building with bug spray but come on - there has to be something that you can do that is approved and can help with the problem. Even just knocking down the webs daily would probably help.

    Soft serve flavors.

    Soft serve ice cream is an East Coast summer staple. There are numerous stands in the area but Humdinger has been around since I was a kid back in the 60's. Our Little League baseball team used to stop by here after our games. How can you not love an iconic ice cream stand? I got the small vanilla/black raspberry twist. It was a good sized ice cream cone that was very creamy. The flavors complimented each other and for $3 the price was right. I now live in California and this would probably be around $5 out there. Several picnic tables and benches out front for people to sit and enjoy their ice cream.

    I had to stop at Jones' Humdinger. Facing a long drive south on Interstate 81 and then for the length of the PA Turnpike, this was my last chance for authentic fare in many a mile. I stocked up with a double twist fat free yogurt in a large cup and incredible chocolate "Monster" shake, thick, for the road. The shake lasted all the way to Clark's Summit/Scranton. What a treat. The Humdinger is not a secret based on my drive by. It was mobbed with gentle friendly people waiting their turn in line. This was worth cashing in on accumulated Weight Watcher points.
