Great spot for soft serve, just a short drive away from Cornell!…read more I tried the red velvet soft serve and really enjoyed it. It didn't taste like red velvet cake at all... it just kind of tasted like vanilla, with a hint of chocolate maybe? Nonetheless, the color is fun and I liked it. A very cute spot for icecream. Quite a few picnic tables to sit at although only one is shaded so it can get pretty hot. There is also a drive through which is nice! Lots of flavor options! Overall, I would recommend!

I'd been wanting to check out Frosty Cow for a while and I finally got the chance to go with my…read moregirlfriend and a friend... except none of us actually ordered anything. And no, we didn't see any cows either. Strike one. The second time was more eventful. I went with a different group of friends, and this time we did get ice cream and see the cows. (Let me be clear: the cows are not part of the official Frosty Cow experience, but somehow, they're always part of the story.) They're just... there. Big, red-eyed, slightly intimidating cows, chilling nearby like unofficial mascots. We got lowkey scared at first, but of course, that didn't stop us from taking a ridiculous amount of photos. It's unpredictable, though; Another time we drove past, and the cows were nowhere to be found. So if you're planning your visit around cow sightings, maybe call ahead and ask, "Are the cows out tonight?" Totally normal question. As for the ice cream, it's definitely worth the hype. We got the Fruity Pebbles flavor, which was creamy and nostalgic in the best way. My girlfriend found it a little too milky for her taste, but I loved how rich and dairy-forward it was. The cereal bits gave that perfect crunchy finish. All in all, whether you're in it for the ice cream or just hoping for cows, Frosty Cow is a fun little stop worth checking out.

Not as eggy tasting as I expected... actually not eggy tasting at all. Still creamy and sweet. Large portions. Also tried the cotton candy hard icecream which was good but not my type of flavor. Make sure to check out the toad tire garden when you're here! A few benches in the garden for sitting too. Overall, I would recommend! Not quite as polished as the Frosty Cow, but it has its own Ithacan charm about it.

We have been here before and they have a broad menu. Unfortunately when we arrived neither of the…read moreice cream attendants acknowledged us. The woman who ultimately served us gave me the wrong order claiming I ordered a twist. I did not. When I restated my order she got snippy and said I should order a certain way. I wanted a specific flavor and asked for that again. She brought another order and it was vanilla not the flavor I ordered after pressuring us to order something else. I returned the ice cream and she claimed angrily that people can't taste that flavor. It was vanilla there was no flavor. I returned it and asked to be reimbursed. When we were leaving she immediately gave us mean us and started talking about us. It's unfortunate we were really looking forward to ice cream on a nice day. The customer service and claims concerning the flavors turned into gaslighting and an uncomfortable situation for our family.

It's a charming little roadside ice cream spot with that classic small-town feel and a solid variety of flavors.

I visited your ice cream shop recently and wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience…read more While your ice cream is quite good, the customer service fell far short of what is acceptable. My group stood in line at the second window after the first one was taking a long time, only to watch multiple people get served elsewhere while we were ignored. When we moved back to the first window, the second one suddenly opened. When I calmly mentioned this confusion, the employee working--who identified herself as Tessa--became defensive, rushed our order aggressively ("what else, what else, what else"), and then loudly talked about me right in front of me, telling someone else that I was "freaking out" and claiming that window only opens when it's busy (even though there was clearly a line). She also made a point to mention that the interaction was recorded on camera. As someone who runs an organization where customer service is our number one priority, this was a disappointing display of a lack of emotional intelligence and basic hospitality. A simple acknowledgment of the confusion or a polite apology would have instantly resolved the situation. Additionally, if there is a specific rule about when the second window is supposed to open, there really needs to be a clear sign posted. Given how many out-of-town visitors you receive, relying on unwritten rules only leads to frustrated customers. I hope you will use this as a coaching opportunity for Tessa on de-escalation and customer relations.

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!

You may want to be specific about your sizing preferences before you order, because I was blown away. Super Scoops is a super cute little ice cream shop in Homer. Although there are many other shops in the area, the customer service at this establishment has kept me coming back. They feature a good number of Purity's hard ice cream flavors as well as soft serve treats. You can't go wrong with a double scoop of Madigan Mint or, my personal favorite, a Boomberry milkshake. The people who work here are really great. They're funny, personable, and make you feel welcome. What a great place to visit on a hot summer day..or on any day when you're craving a sweet treat!

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.
