Wow! Cool place, lots of seating, and the most efficient service! we were in a long line but waited no more than 5 mins to order and had our treats in less than 2! Ice cream and shakes were great too! read more

What a cute little ice cream place! We were driving by and just had to stop. The ice cream was delicious and the service was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a fun little spot to visit if you're in the area! read more

Scoops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Visiting the area for the week and stumbled upon Scoops and glad we did! The menu was extensive and it was definitely difficult to choose what we wanted. We ended up deciding on a small cup-- peanut butter s'mores and strawberry cheesecake. Don't be fooled with the size description-- a small was such a huge amount that two of us shared it! The ice cream was smooth and not too sweet. The girls helping behind the counter were very nice and quick with our order. There were some cute chairs shaped like ice cream cones available for seating! Will definitely come again before we leave! read more

While visiting Canandaigua Lake outside Rochester, our family stopped by Scoops to have some ice cream. The staff was very efficient while our group ordered different flavors. I had the non-dairy Lemon Sorbet. It was so refreshing and delicious. We all sat outside as we enjoyed our treat. read more

My daughter likes to come here for a treat followed by playing in the playground across the street and walking by the water. Lots of flavors to choose from and generous portions. $6 gets you two large scoops in their "small" size. It's enough for both my 2.5 year old and me. Friendly staff and some seating outside makes for a good time. read more

Great soft ice cream and sundaes. Unlike other places - open all day until late. Definitely worth a stop!

Good portion sizes. Many flavors. So many options. Shakes, sundaes, etc. etc. Lines can get very long, and parking can be difficult. Staff is friendly and works as fast as they can to serve the masses. Beautiful scenery as it is right on the lake. If looking for quicker service and less lines, try the location in Farmington. Just as great! read more

Great ice cream, lovely location, service ladies were polite and fast. Would recommend to anyone near canandaigua! Had the coffee flavor!

I visited the Finger Lakes with my fiancé and stopped at this ice cream place while in the area. It's conveniently located near Canandaigua lake and close to downtown. We got chocolate chip cookie dough and Cinnabon ice cream in a kiddie cup. They said the kiddie cup size is only one scoop, but we both thought that it was filling. The ice cream overall was good and it was nice being able to bring it over to eat by the lake. I would recommend coming here! read more

Scoops - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Cinnabon Ice Creams - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Cute place with only outdoor ice cream themed seating. Large servings. Tons of flavors. Didn't have soft serve so can't speak to that.

Cute ice cream spot really close to the water! They serve Perry's ice cream flavors and soft serve. The soft serve portions were very generous. They take credit cards! And there's a large free parking lot very close by. read more

Scoops - Chocolate soft serve, brownie blitz, and vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Not impressed. Their soft serve does not taste good. Very much do not recommend the soft serve. I actually threw away about half of mine. The hard ice cream is Perry's. Their sizes are on the larger side however their not very generous with toppings. They have a great location just wish their product was a little better. read more

When I was little, I used to walk by the Niagara River with my grandfather and my cousin, eating our dripping ice cream cones as the world passed by. One of my ice cream flavors of choice was the Perry's White Lightning, deep dark chocolate ice cream with bolts of peppermint shooting through it. One day, my old favorite ice cream place scooped its last scoop of White Lightning, and never replaced it. For years, I thought that flavor was but a memory, sailing gently down the stream... No one told me that it just headed up the river to Scoops near Canandaigua Lake (don't quote me on that geography)! Flash forward to my new favorite ice cream place, and imagine my surprise when I discovered a fresh bucket of White Lightning, a bigger waterfront for strolling, and chairs that look like ice cream cones!! Scoops is adorable and old fashioned, but the flavors are anything but! Every special and exciting Perry's flavor is on the menu (Speculoos cookie, anyone? Lemoncello? If you're me, you try both for an adventurous flavor combination). Plunk down on one of their chairs and pretend you are an ice cream scoop atop a waffle cone...or walk just across lakeshore drive to Kershaw Park for an instant lakeview. This place takes cash only, so be prepared. They also offer doggie sundaes for $4.50, so everyone can enjoy the walk by the Lake. read more

Great ice cream on the lake, even the lines goes fast but the cones are always stale!

Always get service with a smile. The employees are welcoming, kind, and work quickly. Even when there is a line, the employees stay relaxed and upbeat! The portions are large! They offer many options and a huge variety of ice cream flavors. Such a cute place! It is a great location with a beautiful view! Highly recommend!! read more

Scoops is a solid ice cream place. There was a fairly long line, but it moved quickly. They had a ton of flavors and it was really hard to choose! I ended up getting three because there were too many that sounded amazing! I got the black cherry, cookie dough, and peanut butter panda paws. It was the perfect summer night dessert! read more

Phenomenal service, incredible flavors, irresponsibly large servings especially for kiddie cones. Pure summer! Cannot recommend enough. My children love the place and it has become synonymous with summer at the lake in our family. The staff are courteous, kind and incredibly family friendly! read more

Scoops is a timeless Canandaigua staple. I've been visiting for years. My mom first brought us here many years back when we'd splash around at the beach on Canandaigua Lake. My brother, sister, and I knew a visit to scoops was destined after a long day in the sun. And today that tradition still stands. Anytime I'm in the area, nowadays it's after a hike in Naples, I'll make a pit stop here. My mom always got the lemon sorbet, I couldn't resist the cookie dough or the Panda Paws with the mini peanut butter cups, my siblings would go for cotton candy or caramel praline turtle. No matter what the flavors were out of this world because it's Perry's Ice Cream and that's the best. Yeah, I said it. It's an order at the counter spot and cash only. They have a few ice cream cone shaped seats if you want to sit, but I recommend eating your come as you walk along the lakeshore. read more

Scoops ice cream. Pretty awesome but only 4 stars cuz my napkin blew away and I had to chase half way to the master and back. Waffle cone is ginormous, rootbeer float was amazing. I'm still recovering from the shakes. Best was the service of friendly Katie, who helped me figure out if the soft serv was gluten free. Retro architectural design a plus. Superfluous fan in window. read more

Great Perry's ice cream - portions are ridiculously huge! Loved the ice cream cone seats.

This is an amazing ice cream place to go to with family and friends. The ice cream was delicious and most definitely larger than any ice cream I've ever gotten. I only got a small and it was the size of a large! They also had these cute little chairs that looked like ice cream cones that surly added to the experience. The only thing that I disliked was that there wasn't a lot of shade, so your ice crean melted faster. Without question, I would come here again. read more

Poor social distancing during the pandemic. When we asked the manager about her face mask slipping down below her nose (it was really just barely covering her mouth, but we wanted to assume she just didn't realize) she looked at us blankly, said nothing, and didn't adjust her mask. Face masks are supposed to cover your mouth and nose. Seems like management is only enforcing a mouth covering as other employees' masks were only covering their mouths, too. Other workers we spoke to afterwards said the manager is "just busy." Too busy to care about the well-being of your staff and customers? Wonder what this means for their other social distancing/sanitizing practices, because if it's anything like the masks, it's both not safe nor up to code with NYS requirements. Don't go here if you're a vulnerable population. read more

This place is really cool - especially the cone shaped chairs and tables. Good ice cream. Was disappointed once we ordered an ice cream cake but they just sold us a carvel that we could have gotten at wegmans. read more

This cute little place used to be a Carvel way back in the day (and many locals still call it that). They serve up all the usual treats in both soft-serve and Perry's hard ice creams. Very generous portions on the night we visited - my small cone was easily a medium anywhere else. Pretty location across from Kershaw park - get your treat and walk across to the benches overlooking the lake. read more

Literally just shut the lights off on us... no warning. Not impressed. We couldn't find the hours anywhere. If they were going to serve us and then shut down and turn the lights off we would have gone elsewhere. Won't be back. read more

Scoops - Literally just shut the lights off on us... no warning. Not impressed. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

For the price, this place can't be beat. A small is $3.00 and is a very generous portion - So much so that the employees will warn you if you order a medium. They serve Perry's ice cream and have a large assortment of flavors - roughly 12-20 at any given time. They also have soft serve but I have to say, it was a bit of a let down. The soft serve was full fat and was so thick and creamy that I couldn't even finish it. Just a heads up, they only accept cash! read more

Visiting scoops is a fun tradition for my family. Lots of choices, friendly service, and tasty ice cream for very little cost.

Cash only. Usually open until 10 on the weekends. Not sure about week days. Perry's brand ice creams is what they carry. Staff is patient and courteous. I usually grab my small in a dish to go and play pokemon on the pier while I finish it. read more

THEY MOVED DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW COMPLEX! Ice cream here is good! (They use Perry's) however they don't offer free cups of water, you have to buy bottled water. That is ridiculous and cheap! read more

Went there on vacation...wow! The ice cream is delicious and huge! The kids is enough for any average person, but my hubby got the "small"...yep two giant scoops! Lots of flavored to choose from, obviously a hot spot in the area looking at the lines. Seating is sooo cute, sitting in an "ice cream cone". Place is clean, the amount of people you know the ice cream is not old. No soft serve here. Enjoy! read more

Still a really good ice cream shop but was better before they moved to the new location. Portions seem smaller and they don't make the sundae's the same anymore. It's still a really good ice cream place right on the lake so....you can't beat that! read more

Great spot down by the water and very friendly staff. They have the most adorable ice cream chairs and tables however it is right in the sun and no shade or umbrellas offered. Wanted to take some cute pictures of the kids but it was way too hot and they almost burned their hands on the counter when they tried to order their ice cream. Would go again but really wish they would get some umbrellas and some shade!!! read more

Ice cream is good. Place is clean. Was unaware that you can only use cash there. Sign is very small. Went and ordered food for three children and myself and had to go use closest bank ATM to get cash. Should have bigger signs for this. My ice cream melted due to one of kids having to hold it for me. Other than that it was good. read more
