No trip to Wilmington, NY (outside of Lake Placid) is complete without a stop for ice cream at the Whitebrook Dairy Bar! We got soft serve -- twist of vanilla and chocolate -- but many people got scoops of Hershey's ice cream. Perfect treat after a day of hiking!

Great creamy soft serve ice cream. The hot fudge sundae was really great. Also went for the sassy burger and was very impressed. Enjoy.

Great place! Great ice cream and food! Everything made to order. They do have a cranky fee ($2.00) that I am sure Laura P. was charged.

Donnelly's Ice Cream - Flavor of the Day - Chocolate twisted with Vanilla

So glad to have been tipped off about this place by a local! Hugely popular but tiny ice cream…read moreplace where they only have one machine. As a result, every day is a different flavor. Today's was a peach/vanilla twist. Lemme tell you, this was the most delicious ice cream I have eaten in a long time. Creamy, flavorful and served with a smile. Get there early as the line can get really long, but since the only options seem to be cup, cone, shake or hot fudge sundae, decisions are made quickly and the line moves. No photo, as I dove into it quickly.

Donnelly's Soft Serve is easily one of the most unique ice cream stands I've ever been to -- and…read moretotally worth the detour if you're anywhere near Saranac Lake. We made the short drive up from Ampersand Bay Resort to sweeten up a Sunday night before our big hike to Mt. Marcy, and Donnelly's didn't disappoint. What makes it so unique? Simplicity. This place runs with the "In-N-Out" model -- do a few things and do them well. Your only decision is cup or cone, and what size. The real twist (pun intended) is that they offer one flavor combo per day, served as a twist. That's it. No exceptions. It's kind of got that "Soup Nazi" vibe from Seinfeld -- so be sure to check their Facebook page to see the daily flavor before you go. On our visit, the flavor was Chocolate twisted with Vanilla -- classic and crowd-friendly, which worked well for our small but mighty hiking crew. The night before, though, was Chocolate & Peppermint, which I probably would've vetoed. Honestly, I'd love to see them offer two flavors per night to avoid that scenario -- but hey, the place was busy, even on a cool, overcast evening, so clearly their model works. Another standout feature? The shape. Most soft serve comes with a tall spiral and a little point on top. Donnelly's? Not even close. Their cones are round and a bit flat on top -- totally different. At first I thought, "Why?" but it actually works. It gives the cone a nice texture and may even help slow down melting. Whatever the reason, it adds to the charm. The vibe is classic small-town ice cream stand. Tiny building, nostalgic energy, no frills -- just good ice cream and friendly service. The staff couldn't have been nicer -- welcoming in that warm, small-town way that makes you want to support the place even more. Parking was easy out front, and even though the line was steady, it moved quickly. Bottom line: If you're in the area, Donnelly's is a must-stop. Just don't forget to check that daily flavor before you make the drive!
