I stumbled upon Big Dip when I first moved to the area two years ago, as it's by my chiropractor…read more I'd dubbed it my favorite spot in town, but I think it may have been bested recently by a competitor or two. On my last visit, my milkshake was practically milk and no bueno. I was with my mom during that trip, and she reminded me I also had a bad milkshake there at the end of last season. The problem is that it tends to be busy that bringing it to the attention of an employee means cutting the line...I did reach out via social media and I was told to order milkshakes 'thick' going forward. I went this past Thursday and ordered a vanilla cone with sprinkles. The vanilla was way too soft, and shouldn't have been served. I think that might have been the issues with the milkshakes-- the ice cream isn't actually the way it should be. My mom's chocolate peanut butter cone was fine, however. With prices being what they are and my last 3 to 4 trips having been underwhelming/super disappointing, I think it is time for me to move on from the Big Dip.

Big dip is great. They have reasonable prices, friendly staff, and great options…read more HOWEVER, please be aware they will NOT let you eat the big giant ice cream cone on top of the building. They get real mad when you get up there and try to lick it. They say it's no real ice cream but I know that's not true! I came in the middle of the night with a ladder, climbed up and started munching that ice cream before the police intervened. It's real ice cream! Real delicious ice cream! I don't know how they keep it from melting up there, but whatever they are doing it's working. Once a year I think they should let some lucky person eat the big giant ice cream on the roof.

Fayettes usually has multiple options for that compared to one--or none at many ice cream places. However, aside from that, their toppings are always very fresh and high quality. Employees are friendly, and the shop is kept clean. Definitely make sure to stop by on no weigh wednesdays so you can feel a little more guilt free at trying everything! Last visit we tried coconut, cheesecake, and irish mint. All were super tasty and creamy, well mixed and not grainy.

They also had tons of different flavors and toppings. I got premium vanilla, black raspberry, and this one flavor that I've never seen before called "Cookie Monster" It tasted like cotton candy with graham crackers and it was delicious. I got m&ms, rainbow sprinkles, and a couple strawberry's. The strawberries were nice and cold looked like they had just been washed. The lady at the counter was extremely nice and even let me pick out what color spoon I wanted. Overall, a 10/10 experience and the price was only 10 bucks for a 15 oz large cup.

For the 4 of us the price was 25$ which is not bad given some of us had a lot of toppings. My kids liked the strawberry and vanilla frozen yogurt flavors.

So glad to have a place to get smoothie bowls nearby! I absolutely LOVE getting one as a treat…read more Definitely pricey but the product is so good and the toppings are always generous. I always get the açaí base. I like the Beach Bum toppings - peanut butter that is definitely on the more natural side, chia jam (yum), crunchy, satisfying granola, and ripe sliced fruit. The service is good - I just wish it was a little quicker. It's possible to be the only customer in the store and still wait 10-15 minutes for just one bowl. Always cutely decorated and the menus are bright and easy to read. They do have a rewards program as well!

I went to House of Crepes today because I heard that they had the viral mousse fruit pastries. They…read morelooked incredible and tasted even better! The mousse was smooth and creamy, the fruit jam was perfect and fresh, and the cake was moist and spongy. The chocolate on the outside even had the signature "crack" when we cut into them. I purchased a raspberry and a lemon and they were both better than I could've imagined. I also ordered a slice of cheesecake with strawberries for my Grandma and she loved it. The staff was friendly and very helpful and had great recommendations. I WILL be returning and can't wait to try more!

This is the closest we have found, I think it is just a bit more tart but the best in the Syracuse area! Fast, pleasant, service. Cash only. $3.25 for a small lemon ice, more than fair in this economy and a sizable portion! I even had some left to share! The classic ice cream stand itself is nostalgic and brings you back to more simple times! Huge menu, with cones, sundaes, flurries, milk shakes and more! That orange sherbet twist is on my list for a must try!

I was inside once though, and it's aesthetic. Cute lights, very on theme to its name. There are very few spots in Syracuse that do smoothie bowls, and this place does them right. My favorite is the coconut base, which I've yet to find at any of the other spots in town. I've had the mermaid and the pearl, and those were both tasty. I also once ordered a massive cup of fresh fruit, which was just so refreshing and healthy. This is one of the few spots you can get healthy food like this in central-ish Syracuse. I think they cater mostly to the university and hospital crowd, but I do enjoy nipping in for a treat every now and then.
