They carry homemade ice cream and some selections from Perry's. They also have soft serve. Everyone on the bus said this ice cream was great...from sundaes, milkshakes, soft serve with dips and hard ice cream it was unanimous. I had a great flavor I've never seen anywhere..... chocolate ice cream mixed with chocolate pieces and coconut pieces in a chocolate and nut dipped waffle cream cone. The place was packed but the service was great.

Walking up to the order window you're greeted by a friendly cashier who's eager to take your order. You look around at their large menu before deciding on getting a scoop of their newest creation: Earl's Ice Cream. After reading the description and learning that it's named after a local farmer, your scoop is up within minutes and now you have the option to sit outdoors in the sun, under their covered patio, or indoors in the AC. If you're needing a bit more than just ice cream you can also order food off of their snacks menu which includes fries, tenders, and other finger foods!

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!

Worst dining experience my family and I have ever had!…read more We went here for my brother-in-law's graduation from SUNY Cortland. We made the reservations about three months in advance thinking it would book up. They must have caught on it was graduation weekend because two months later they called saying they were changing the menu to a $75 per person prix fixe menu and they needed a $90 deposit. When we got there, we told the hostess the name for the reservation and were met with a scared and confused reaction. When she found the reservation, we were seated in a dining room with one other family seated. Soon after we sat down, we noticed the family that had already finished eating was talking amongst themselves, and the father went to the waitress to dispute his bill. We overheard him saying no one ate and it was the worst food they had ever been served. We should have listened and left right then! We decided to order and test our luck. For the appetizers, we got fried calamari, wings, meatballs, and the antipasto platter. The calamari was the first to come out, and we were all at a loss for words. The calamari came out yellow and looked like it was not cooked at all! My sister-in-law's boyfriend was brave enough to try it, and when he took a bite, it was so rubbery it snapped like a rubber band. When we addressed this with our server, she acted like it was normal! She made it seem like they just didn't like it and offered to let them select a different appetizer. The new wings came out very fast, but with blue cheese instead of ranch. When we asked a food runner for a side of ranch, she said she would ask our waitress, but it never came. After still not learning our lesson, we ordered entrees. We ordered two fettuccine Alfredos, spicy vodka tortellini, two steaks, two chicken parmigianas, and two penne alla vodka. The entrees took over an hour to come out, and while we were waiting, it got even worse. More customers started to come in, with a total of about 10 to 12 tables including ours. While waiting for our food, we saw families get seated, wait 20 minutes for water, and decide to leave before the waitress even came over. Other tables that had their food were requesting comped bills because their food was not edible. This caused one of the waitresses, who we later found out was the manager, to begin CRYING in front of customers while taking their orders. Still waiting for our food, a table got seated behind us and their experience was the same as ours. They waited 10 minutes for water cups and a pitcher of water (which was an empty Jack Daniels bottle), and the waitress almost dropped a glass on the father, which he caught. Then when they got their appetizers, the waitress knocked the same glass off the table, shattering it right next to the man's foot. One member of my party used the bathroom and found out there was no toilet paper. We immediately let the waitress know, and she stated she would have someone refill it, which never happened during our entire time in the restaurant. We came to find out ALL three bathrooms in the restaurant were out of toilet paper. We finally got our food and it was all inedible! The Alfredo tasted like water with noodles you would expect to get in a hospital. The steak had no char and was gray on the outside and rare on the inside when it was ordered medium. The spicy vodka had no taste besides the absurd amount of red pepper flakes, and the regular vodka sauce and marinara sauces were watered down with little to no taste. No one ate their food and, since we were starving, we decided to try dessert that came included with our "prix fixe" meals. During this time, the table that had glass dropped on them finally received their food, which they also found inedible, got very upset, and most of them got up and walked right out. After the food runner took our plates away, we asked her for more water for the table, to which she responded, "I can ask your waitress because I am not authorized to bring water to the table." When the new water finally came, it was in a dirty bottle and the water was slightly brown. I could go on about everything that made this by far the worst dining experience anyone in that restaurant unfortunate enough to stay for their entree had ever had, but this review is long enough. For the total of 3 hours we spent at this miserable establishment, we saw 6 tables get up and walk out. Also, if you have to use the bathroom while dining here, you may actually need to leave the restaurant and go down the road to the Motel 6 to use their restroom. So not only is this a terrible establishment with slow service and awful food, it is also a scam.

Why? Because they have all sorts of good coffee and lots of different kinds of flavor shots, if you're into that sort of thing. They also have a great variety of muffins, scones, rice krispy bars, etc, if you'd like to take along a little snack. And... wow, are they friendly! Always pleasant and extremely welcoming. I live out of town, but whenever I happen to be in the Cortland, NY area, I always see my Google Maps app to take me to Coffee Mania on Port Watson Street. By the way, this is only a drive-up establishment - no place to sit and put your feet up - but grab that great cup of coffee (and maybe a tasty snack) and head off to wherever you're going. Even though you may not know me, you'll thank me for steering you there!
