And bless this sweet and homey shoppe for having malts and old fashioned egg creams, which have all but gone extinct, in addition to more regulation soda floats. The only thing I regret is sashaying away without buying one of the fetching & saucy merman Christmas ornaments on display!

We got there just before…read morea big crowd and the first thing they asked us when we walked in was if our dog wanted a pup cup (yes, yes he does). So, I was already loving this place. Go for the amazing ice cream and huge variety of great flavors and the amazing folks behind the counter, but also go for the actual soft serve mini swirl for your furry friend. These ice cream scoops are bigger than you think they will be. A scoop of the cherry and a scoop of the coffee and I was looking at a massive cup. This was a winning combo though. Loved both rich, creamy flavors so so much and now I can't wait for my next trip into town so I can pay another visit. They have a two seater table inside but this really is more of a grab and walk around kind of spot. Enjoy!

At all. But Five Pennie's' friendly owner warmly greeted me as I entered. Told me he makes his own ice cream. High quality ingredients. Small batch. It looked really good. He offered me a sample of Praline. It was delicious. I told him that I needed to get iced coffee but I would see him on the way out. After drinking my coffee, I wasn't hungry. I hoped I would find the strength to say no to ice cream as I exited. I did not. He offered me another sample. He asked if I like peanut butter. I said I do, but I didn't tell him I don't usually love peanut butter ice cream. He gave me a sample of Peanut Butter Oreo. It was amazing. So peanut buttery. I ultimately ended up splitting a scoop of Praline and a scoop of Peanut Butter Oreo with my wife, who by then had entered the Food Hall. I live in CT. I have been to most of the best ice cream spots in CT. These two Five Pennies flavors, were as good as the flavors at CT's best spots. Five enthusiastic Stars

All fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Fresh cones and hot waffles? Sign me UP! Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a Beacon stroll and I'm so happy we found this gem and got to try them! The dark chocolate ice cream has my heart! Vegan and gluten free options available as well. Their concept is shcoops for all: anyone and everyone should be able to have ice cream! So they've made nut free, celiac safe, gf, v and even pup cups! With their pull up window, it's so easy to order, especially if you have a dog! Love this place, the people that work here, the story and the shcoops! Can't wait to be back with my pup.

I sampled a couple of flavors Mango and Strawberry and my pick was Strawberry followed by Mango , as it was more sweeter compared to the Mango which was a bit more tangy . We also tried a few other flavors like chocolate with sprinkles and Honey comb . Honey comb turned out being the most popular among our group. Their single scoops are small but you can get a large triple scoop too. They have an ATM inside the Food Hall for those who need it. Cute cozy dessert joint !

I cant wait for the weather to get warmer so we can seat outside. I wish service was faster for the shakes and icecream, dis kids patience is close to zero.

The young man assisting us was so super sweet and very patient with us while we decided on what we wanted. He was also very knowledgeable about their special types of ice cream floats, and also very honest. We ordered banana cream, pistachio, Guatemalan, coconut, and s'mores flavors. WOW. They were ALL fantastic. I live about half hour from this place but I will definitely be making my way over there more often! There is street parking, but I can see it getting super busy during the day or during the warmer months, especially since it's on a Main Street with other restaurants. I definitely recommend trying this ice cream shop! We absolutely loved it! I moved to the Hudson valley 3 years ago and this place is BY FARRRR my new favorite ice cream shop!!

My friend ordered the chocolate expresso cookies, which was also delicious. Flavors can come in a cup, cone, waffle cone sundae, cookie sandwich, banana split, flight of 6, or a mylk-shake. So many great options!! They share a small space that has limited seating with a vegan cafe called Vegetalien. Next time I will eat lunch at the cafe and get ice cream afterwards!
