    The Straw Hat is a small, local ice cream shop near downtown North East. It features Perry's ice cream as well as Penn State ice cream from the Berkey Creamery. See the attached pics. The small scoops are huge so be sure you are hungry enough to eat a medium or more. They also have soft serve ice cream as well as a plethora of milk shakes and sundaes. I had the Grasshopper Pie hand-dipped come. DELICIOUS! There is something for everyone here so c'mon down and check it out. It's what old time ice cream times is all about.

    We love that they serve the Penn State Berkey creamery local flavors, and especially that the portions are large and the prices are reasonable!

    After a day full of drinking and relaxing on Chautauqua Lake, we were looking for a cold, creamy…read moretreat to wrap up our day and the night before, we had seen signs for The Sprinkle Cone, so we decided to give them a try! On a Saturday, around 8pm or so, the family and I were walking downtown Jamestown and came here for a cold and creamy treat! From what I could tell, they only served hard ice cream, which was locally made by Addie's Ice Cream, along with sundaes, floats, etc., so no custards here, but no complaints here! After perusing their flavors, we were able to go right up to the window and place our order. There appeared to be about two or three people working, but they were courteous and quick, including the woman who took our order. There were a couple of benches near this shop but more than likely, expect to stand or walk somewhere else to sit. We all ordered medium-sized ice cream cones and upgraded to the waffle cone for an additional 75 cents. I went with their New York Cheese Cake and Mint Oreo Fudge flavors. The NY Cheese Cake flavor was on top and was very creamy! I loved how the cherries were swirled in. The Mint Oreo Fudge was an excellent closer for my ice cream cone as it was fudgy with plenty of Oreo cookie pieces and the right amount of mint flavor. The medium-size was the perfect portion too, it left me plenty satisfied. I will admit the prices might seem a tad on the high side, but the ice cream was very good and I like to support local places when I can. Overall, The Sprinkle Cone scooped out a great experience with friendly customer service and quality hard ice cream. When I come back to Jamestown, I wouldn't have any problems coming back and trying a couple different flavors!

    W-O-W. This ice cream. The words escape me as feelings and images of the experience wash over…read more It's great. First rate. I've eaten a lot of fancy ice cream so I will designate myself an authority. The space is open, airy, laid back and a little punk rock. Family friendly with the Buzz Cocks playing in the backround. There's an 80's feel about it all in just the right way. The proprietor makes the ice cream himself with fresh cream every Tuesday. It's sooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooood!!!!! NOT OVERLY SWEET. For example I find Perry's cloyingly sweet. Too much for me. Sprinkle Cone hits it just right. I went with my brother and his two teenage kids. Everyone was unexpectedly blown away. Here's the breakdown. Me: Vanilla and Berry Cobbler in a Sprinkle Cone Ethan: Mint Oreo Fudge and Reses Chunk in a cone Bro: Toasted Coconut and Strawberry in a cone Flynn: Don't remember 'cause he inhaled it! There was evidence of a cone tho Side Note: There is sidewalk chalk aplenty for drawing :@) Ps I head there's a badass indoor skateboard park in the same building!! Price: Increadibly reasonable for what you get.

Everything was very good. I ordered the loaded smoked brisket that was really large and tasty. Everyone else ordered pulled pork, crispy chicken sandwich, black bean burger without the roll, reddy burger, Caesar salad and the child's burger. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Would definitely stop here again if passing through. The restaurant is located on a cute street surrounded by shops and across from a small park.
