    Pistachio and vanilla swirl
    Maggie D.

    A refreshing, fun, and convenient treat! I got the pistachio and vanilla swirl cone and enjoyed it on a comfy chair by the lake. I'd say this is the best ice cream place by the high peaks region. They also offer food including veggie burgers and alcohol including wine. Come here for a quick meal with a gorgeous view!

    Always Delicious ! Fast , Friendly, Clean Lots of outdoor seating and a brand new Deck overlooks Lake Flower . Lots of different flavors of soft & Hard ice cream . Locally owned & Operated

    Medium vanilla ice cream with cherry dip and he gave me a whole cup of sprinkles!

    Really good ice cream ! They have four sizes ( baby, small, medium and large ) small is definitely more than enough. The portions are very generous. Anything bigger is 100% share size. If you can finish it alone, kudos to you! I've visited this place every day of my week long, lake vacay and it was great every time. The servers are very friendly and patient. I also ordered fries here and they were AMAZING ( for my French fry snobs ). Made to order and served hot just hot I like it.

    Chozen with heath bar

    We stopped here based on Yelp reviews and it was decent. The ice cream was good--$14 for two chozens, a root beer float, and scoop with peanut butter sauce. The chozen was exactly like a blizzard from DQ which is good but oh man these were the smallest ice cream portions I have ever seen. Tastes just like any ice cream I've had anywhere else.

    Outside of the shop at night!

    They have a very limited amount of flavors, but all are absolutely delicious. Beautiful views on the lake!

    Delish! I got 2 cones with vanilla custard for my dogs, a small custard with sprinkles, and a sundae for $12.

    Classic small town custard spot. Walk around back & enjoy the lake view while you eat your dessert. I always stop when in the ADKs

    Donnelly's Ice Cream - Flavor of the Day - Chocolate twisted with Vanilla

    So glad to have been tipped off about this place by a local! Hugely popular but tiny ice cream…read moreplace where they only have one machine. As a result, every day is a different flavor. Today's was a peach/vanilla twist. Lemme tell you, this was the most delicious ice cream I have eaten in a long time. Creamy, flavorful and served with a smile. Get there early as the line can get really long, but since the only options seem to be cup, cone, shake or hot fudge sundae, decisions are made quickly and the line moves. No photo, as I dove into it quickly.

    Donnelly's Soft Serve is easily one of the most unique ice cream stands I've ever been to -- and…read moretotally worth the detour if you're anywhere near Saranac Lake. We made the short drive up from Ampersand Bay Resort to sweeten up a Sunday night before our big hike to Mt. Marcy, and Donnelly's didn't disappoint. What makes it so unique? Simplicity. This place runs with the "In-N-Out" model -- do a few things and do them well. Your only decision is cup or cone, and what size. The real twist (pun intended) is that they offer one flavor combo per day, served as a twist. That's it. No exceptions. It's kind of got that "Soup Nazi" vibe from Seinfeld -- so be sure to check their Facebook page to see the daily flavor before you go. On our visit, the flavor was Chocolate twisted with Vanilla -- classic and crowd-friendly, which worked well for our small but mighty hiking crew. The night before, though, was Chocolate & Peppermint, which I probably would've vetoed. Honestly, I'd love to see them offer two flavors per night to avoid that scenario -- but hey, the place was busy, even on a cool, overcast evening, so clearly their model works. Another standout feature? The shape. Most soft serve comes with a tall spiral and a little point on top. Donnelly's? Not even close. Their cones are round and a bit flat on top -- totally different. At first I thought, "Why?" but it actually works. It gives the cone a nice texture and may even help slow down melting. Whatever the reason, it adds to the charm. The vibe is classic small-town ice cream stand. Tiny building, nostalgic energy, no frills -- just good ice cream and friendly service. The staff couldn't have been nicer -- welcoming in that warm, small-town way that makes you want to support the place even more. Parking was easy out front, and even though the line was steady, it moved quickly. Bottom line: If you're in the area, Donnelly's is a must-stop. Just don't forget to check that daily flavor before you make the drive!
