We've been enjoying the cream flavor filled ice cream for 25 years. The servers are so friendly & never have to wait to be served. The prices are so amazing for the flavor & sizes! Outdoor seating on picnic tables on a covered porch. Inside seating with a fish tank & shark decor. We take home a a couple of quarts to enjoy the ice cream at home. read more

When I say I want a small ice cream, this is it. The size of a baby's head small. The ice cream it self was creamy, flavorful and delicious, I can't wait to go back and try a milkshake! read more

Sharks Ice Cream - Size small with black cherry and chocolate almond - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield, New York

This is not the ice cream that I remember from Sharks (it's been a few years). The soft serve tasted artificial and the hard (chocolate chip) was weirdly flavorless, as was the hot fudge. What happened? Very disappointing. read more

Humongous portions! Order three sizes smaller than you think you want. The ice cream is delicious. Wish I had a picture, but I ate it too fast! read more

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this review, so take it for what it's worth. I came because A) I'd heard great things about Shark's homemade custard/ice cream and B) I wanted ice cream. It's obviously very popular with the locals, and that's always a good sign. I really love places that are overly generous with their portion sizes while keeping prices reasonable. Shark's has that going for them. As for my treat selection, I chose Peanut Butter Cup. I failed to look at it in the case first, or else I would have seen that it was a vanilla base rather than the chocolate I've grown accustomed to. It was okay. I'm guessing it was just this particular kind, but I just didn't think it had any great flavor to it. Certainly it wasn't bad, it just seemed plain and nothing was shouting "HOMEMADE" to me. Two bits worth noting: it's cash only (ATM on site, but I never have cash on me and get aggravated when I'm forced to), and everyone else in my party of 4 really liked their selections. I plan to try again when they reopen next season to see about updating this review. read more

Sharks Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield, New York

Their ice cream is delicious and there is plenty of parking and seating. They have a lot of flavors for a HOMEMADE Ice Cream place. They even have Dole Whips! It's almost always packed on a hot summer day and there's a line so catch up on that phone game you love- because it's so worth it! TIP: Their waffle cones are freshly made and DELISH! read more

The homemade, fresh ice cream, served in generous portions fulfills your dream dessert wishes. At the peak of summer, you are rewarded for your patience with a delightful confection. Most of the time there is at least 20 flavors available. They are again serving up a few meal items thru October. My advice, buy 1-2 size ice cream portions smaller than usual. read more

I have been there many times and never been disappointed. Ice cream flavors are great and they don't even list a large as the medium is enormous. I usually just get a small. Best ice cream around. read more

The ice cream is delicious and plentiful. What more do you want when nothing but ice cream is on your mind!!

Delicious ice cream but servings are too big. I'd rather pay less and get a reasonable serving.

Sharks keeps their business straight forward. Not the place to go for a burger or pie or anything but frozen deserts. but they do them well, have a large selection, enormous portions and plenty of space to enjoy them, indoors and out. The enormity of their scoops is hard to exaggerate. We always get the baby size. If you are really wanting to wallow in a hefty serving, get the regular or small size. Anything larger is strictly for the photo opportunity in my opinion. read more

Wow, I can't believe there are so few reviews for this place, with most of them being pretty negative. I've been coming here since I was a kid- about once per summer- and have always loved the ice cream. I went back yesterday and ordered a kiddie in a waffle cone with mint chocolate chip and a smaller scoop of the chocolate butter fudge. So much ice cream for only $3.50! I have yet to find anything close to that deal with regards to homemade ice cream places. The mint was amazing. Don't let the intensely food coloring green color throw you-- it is seriously minty! The strongest mint flavor and largest chocolate pieces I've ever had. The butter chocolate fudge was a pretty big disappointment in comparison-- maybe it just paled next to the strong flavor of the mint but it honestly didn't taste that chocolatey to me and was very plain. There was no fudge in it that I could see or taste. All in all, totally worth it for the great value and wide selection of flavors. Honestly, I didn't even look at the butter chocolate before ordering it so that was partly my mistake. I will definitely be back for more delicious ice cream and to support a great local business! read more

Sharks Ice Cream - Mint chocolate chip (yay!) and chocolate butter fudge (nay) in a waffle cone-- $3.50 and a very full stomach! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomfield, New York

The very best homemade ice cream in the region! Smith with every flavor a real tasty delight. Three ice cream places in our small town and this one is always packed! read more

Excellent ice cream. You cannot get better. The service is great. It is only open in the summer. All the local people flock to have an ice cream cone here. read more

Great portion sizes for the money. Home made ice cream is rare. Her milk fat is off so the textures not quite right. Needs to change up flavors. read more

Hands down my all-time favorite ice cream place. They make their own ice cream and it's the best thing in the world. It makes me so sad it isn't sold in every supermarket... but that's what makes coming to Shark's so fun! Try the custard it's out of this world. And look for the special flavor of the day. AND if you love Shark Week as much as I do come in every day of the week for a new surprise special. They make doggie sundaes for your puppy, so everyone in the family can have some read more

The ice cream is homemade and delicious! Large portion sizes. My favorite is the mint chocolate chip.

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. Ice cream was delicious. Waffle cones with two HUGE scoops for all four of us and it was only 15 bucks. The place was clean and the people were very friendly. My son got the orange sherbet and it was probably the best orange sherbet I have ever tasted. EVER. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone that's out in Bloomfield. read more

great hard ice cream ..insane that their "baby cone" is only $3 because it's one giant scoop of ice cream! Their chocolate chip cookie sand dollar sandwich was not bad...but the cookie to ice cream ratio was a bit off...need a better cookie please! My hubs ordered an ice cream flurry but what he got instead was a flurry soup with a big ball of candy bar in the middle...he didn't have the heart to tell the girl serving us to stop trying to correct her mistake with it so just paid for his soup and after a bite tossed it... read more

Waited in line and got my order. Only to go to pay and told they take cash only. THERE ARE NO SIGNS except on the cash register that they ONLY TAKE CASH. My small ice cream with sprinkles which was 4 $ and some change would have cost me 9 or 10 dollars because they have an ATM in the shop.. And as we all know off name brand ATMs charge you stupid amounts to access your money. Was told this place was great. Ended up leaving embarrassed and frustrated. read more

This is my favorite ice cream around. Will travel out of my way for it. Homemade yummyness! Tons of variety. Huge portions. Reasonably priced. Inside and outside seating. Cool fish tanks with one that you can play a fun game (bring a pocket full of change). Great staff. Clean. A+ read more

Name a place that is better. I doubt you can. This place goes toe to toe with any place around. Helpful tip. They're closed mondays! (Last I checked!!!) that's the day they make their ice cream! It's insane. read more

Don't listen to these weenies...just get the baby size if you want a normal small size cone and you'll be fine. All of their flavors, hard or soft that I've tried have been delicious and the staff always friendly. Just bring cash and your big boy pants read more

My parents, boyfriend and I went to Shark's Custard & Candy a few days ago on our way home from the Genesee Country Village. I was very excited when I saw the Homemade ice cream sign, and it's the only reason we stopped. The parking lot was really full and people parked wherever they wanted to, they didn't seem to care if they were blocking other cars from backing up. We walked up onto a porch filled with picnic tables before heading inside. We entered through their dining room, which had a neat fish tank in it. Then we went to their ice cream area. They had a large open area, with their display cases creating a serving/ordering area. I think they could have benefited from some ropes to form a queue line and signage telling people where to order/pick up/pay. The servers quickly hounded us about what we wanted, but we had barely looked at the menu. I was still studying what hard ice cream they had and what all the different options were. My dad went first, and he ordered a small custard twist in a wafer (cake) cone. His "small" cone was huge and SLOPPY! His small cone was as big as some places large. It was also all over the place and not twirled nicely. My mom then ordered a kiddie scoop of heath bar crunch. After the server put a large scoop in the dish, my mom asked the girl "That's a kiddie?" to which the server responded "No, there's going to be another half scoop on top." The size was ridiculous! It's as large as some place's 2 scoops. My boyfriend and I ordered regular size hot fudge sundaes, which they proceeded to make in 16 oz. soda cups! They layered on hot fudge, spanish peanuts, whipped cream and a cherry. The spanish peanuts were kinda gross, and I assumed I would get chopped peanuts, like every other ice cream store. The sundaes were so big, I felt disgusted I had got it. The servers take one order at a time, make it, and come back for the next order. This wastes time! They should display their sizes, because compared to their prices, the sizes of ice cream are crazy. I would have never ordered a sundae if I had known it was that much ice cream. My boyfriend and I could have just shared. In fact, 2/3 of my sundae is still sitting in the freezer, getting icy. My mom ate about half of her ice cream. When people order a kiddie amount, it's generally because they want a small amount of ice cream, not because they want a lot. Make your sizes smaller!!! I went back to ask about the butterfat content of the ice cream, which required 4 servers help. They showed me the carton of vanilla custard, which was 10 percent. I asked if the chocolate was the same, and they said yes. I then asked about the hard ice cream, which all the could tell me was premium ice cream mix, so that meant it was 14 to 17% butterfat. WRONG! If it's premium mix, then it's 12%. Super premium is 14%. Ultra premium is 16%. (This is assuming it's from Upstate Farms, because that's where they got all their other dairy from, but they had no clue where the mix came from). This really isn't the servers fault, because they're using the information that's been given to them. The owner or manager should be giving them correct information, and should give them a nutrition book so that they can actually answer customer's questions correctly. Oh, they also had no clue what they were talking about with sherbet. The servers proudly informed me that sherbet has the same amount of butterfat content as the ice cream and 3 times as much sugar (even though I asked nothing about their fakely colored sherbet). If their sherbet has as much butterfat as the ice cream, it is being made wrong! They might wanna google sherbet and learn a thing or two. By the way, the ice cream wasn't even that good. So much for homemade ice cream. I would've gotten the same quality product from the super market. Make something yummy, please!!! Erin says...you suck! read more

Not sure why this ice cream shop is not more highly rated. I've had one of my best ice-creams in NY here. The ice creams are not overly creamy, but just perfect. There are a lot of different flavors to choose from. The portion sizes are huge, to say the least. The prices are some of the cheapest for homemade ice cream. Just make sure you order the right size. The folks at the store are friendly as well. Just make sure you have cash on you, they do not accept cards. read more

Shark's - my daughter loves the birthday cake twister - ice cream is very good here and is all made here, none of that big brand ice cream served to you at a big markup read more

Great ice cream, generous portions, a wide choice of flavors and types of cones. Premises are clean and attractive inside and out. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the amount of delicious ice cream you get! read more

Overrated. Not terrible but not all that great. Used to be better. Always really crowded and not worth the wait.

Not sure what kind of ice cream place the bad reviewers have been to, but I haven't seen many better. The ice creams cones are huge, even the "baby" ones". Best deal is the quarts for $6.00. This ice cream is really home made, not some factory produced, guar gum filled stuff that other stands use, and also charge $3.00 for a baby cone. And the person who said it's always crowded pretty much proves how good it is. It's crowded because it's that good. Worth the wait. read more
