Ok! Where to begin here. Obviously the Finger Lakes is a…read moremajor tourist attraction in central New York. One lake is particular is Seneca Lake. How do I know that? Well, 1) if you've seen the area you know why lol and 2) I grew up in Geneva. Recently, I went home for a month. Got back July 9th. So not that long ago from the time I wrote this review. My friends from high school and I all got together a couple days before I left back for Idaho. I've known these girls for 30-35 years. So time with them is very special to me. My one friend has a boat. So our last outing before my holiday ended was...on her boat. We were out for a few hours and picked up her daughter and another friend at the long pier on Seneca Lake. It's a beautiful pier which means...lots of people flock there especially during summer months. We had been out for a few hours (as mentioned) and we wanted something to eat. There is an ice cream place right there at the entrance of the pier and it's called...Long Pier Ice Cream! I was pretty stoked to get ice cream bc we had been tubing and swimming and I was hungry, but didn't want full on dinner bc we were going back out. There were 8 of us on the boat. We all got ice cream. The place, again RIGHT on the pier, was obviously busy bc hello! Summer! It was legit 90° that day and humid. Naturally an ice cream stand would be busy and a great place to stop at. Which brings me to the staff. For the most part they were friendly. However, there was one girl and of course I didn't get names UGH! I think anyone on the staff will know EXACTLY who I'm talking about bc I guarantee this isn't her first time being an absolute ray of sunshine (insert sarcasm) She had long dark hair, glasses, short, and speaking of short, she was VERY short with every customer. EVERY! one. of. them. Now I ordered a "medium chocolate in a dish with rainbow sprinkles" It's the same thing I order at all these ice cream places. With THEEEE biggest attitude and taking snotty to another level, she lets out this lonnnng sigh and says "we DON'T HAVE medium! We have either regular! or large!" Followed by a semi-eye roll and another sigh. If y'all could have seen the look of shock and confusion on my face lol...bc I asked a simple question. To myself, I thought..weird and why is she being SO rude? So I asked, ok so what's the difference between the regular and the large? Again with the long siiiiiiiiiigh! "Ugh regular has like 6-7 swirls and a large ugh had 8-9!" I mean, if I could record how she was to me, it'd be better lol. Seriously, this girl HATES her job. So I ordered the regular. Now tell me this...WHYYYY would you EVER want to work at an ice cream shop ON. THE. LAKE! in the middle of summer, on a hot ass day like July 6th 2024! And have THEEE worst attitude to not just me! But to literally everyone I was with and everyone else in line. I watched her treat everyone with this unbelievable amount of disrespect. So again, WHY?! work at THAT particular ice cream or any for that matter...when you KNOW the place will always be busy? If you cannot handle a simple question as "what's the difference between a regular and a large?" then MAYBE...JUST....MAYBE! you should NOT be working with the public and ESPECIALLY with the public...at....you guessed it..:an ice cream shop..on a lake..in the middle of summer on one of the hottest days! Everyone in my party all had the same reaction to this girl and her sorry attitude. Now don't get me wrong, if any of us were being rude, I would gladly admit that or even better...I just wouldn't write a review. I do not like writing bad reviews for businesses UNLESS it is absolutely warranted. You can check my reviews to make sure. I take my reviews very seriously and write them exactly how my experience was. I know Google and Yelp can be abused by people, so I genuinely strive to NOT be one of those people who abuse the review game. So with my experience with her, this is why I am writing exactly it as I, as WE! ... experienced our time at your store. To top it off, the prices were..meh. I took into consideration tho that where we were and hello, it's NY. Things are just more expensive there. The prices were not even my concern tbh. It's just suggested on here we add info on prices. The ice cream is good enough. I come home often. I will always think before returning to this place. The ice cream is very tasty, that's what sucks haha! Like, if I'm on the lake and want ice cream...it's the only place. Not sure if this girl will always be there, but GOOD. LAWDY! Let's hope not because it's a very poor look on what is a good business and its location is brilliant. Right at the pier, next to a big ass hotel, next to a playground. Whoever decided this location has a bit of genius in them. However, they need to use that genius when hiring friendlier staff. Thanks, Yelperscoopers!!! Cheers!

The servers inside were all very fun and polite and seemed to be enjoying their jobs. I asked to try two very different flavors (one was a peanut butter base and the other was chocolate based). Both the flavors were very bland, lacking strong tastes of what their names represented. Once I had tasted those, I opted for a plain vanilla ice cream Mexican sundae with hot fudge. It was a good sized portion and was delicious. It's a great atmosphere in the beautiful small town of PennYan which I love, but it wasn't as impressive as some other ice cream places locally that I've visited.

Other than sweet treats, they also have coffees and teas on their menu, and a bunch of different dairy products. It feels cozy, local, and authentic - like everything is fresh or straight from the farm. It's actually part of a long-standing local farm operation, which makes the experience feel even more genuine. I also loved that they support other local businesses and sell products from them, it adds to that community feel. Overall, this place is more than just an ice cream stop, it's a whole experience.
