Great hardpack and soft serve ice cream. They are world-famous for their wine ice cream as well.

Delicious ice cream and a lot of flavours

This is the best ice cream ever. No 2 ways about it. It tastes fresh and real, no artificial flavor. The waffle cones are a plus too

We found this place on the way to Alexandria Bay. We were exited to try wine ice cream. They had 4 flavors. I tried Riesling. It was awful. The girls at front were totally clueless and uninterested. The ice-cream was so so. People raving about it not sure how. Much better places in Pa.

Icecream is definitely not the same, not as creamy as it use to be. Sprinkles tasted old. Employees not very friendly.

They have dramatically changed their soft serve recipe. I have loved going to Mercers for over 40 years. It used to be so creamy and now it’s like ice milk. McDonald’s is better. I understand that they have new ownership. They have destroyed a once thriving business in about couple of years. Very sad.

These two love their ice cream

This ice cream is just gross! Wine? Tastes more like feces! Don’t bother to go here.
I needed a half gallon of ice cream that they did not have. The young lady was nice and offered me pints instead. I asked if it would be the same price. She said yes maybe even cheaper. I was then charged 15 dollars for a half gallon of ice cream. Guess we won't be back for a while if ever. I thought she understood me when I said I needed a half gallon.

10/09/24 UPDATE: The owner of Mercer's Dairy reached out to me shortly after I posted my review below and requested more information about the ice cream that I purchased, so I contacted her and provided the information she requested. She was very pleasant and apologized if that ice cream didn't meet their high standards for quality. She then graciously offered to refund my purchase price, and I accepted. Based on how this experience ended up, I've updated the review rating, and will try their ice cream again in the future. My sincere thanks and kudos to Ruthie for standing behind the quality of her ice cream products. That's something you don't experience very often these days.
10/07/24: I'd read all the great reviews, and heard that Mercer's ice cream is the stuff that legends are made of, so we decided to stop and buy some ice cream there on our way home on a recent Sunday. We bought a half-gallon of Adirondack Brownie ice cream, and we even bought some dry ice there just to be sure the ice cream didn't melt on the way home. The ice cream was still frozen when we got home, and it went right into our freezer and stayed there until we took it out that evening. Sadly, what's in this half-gallon carton is anything but rich ice cream. It's very grainy, and looks and tastes like it has ice crystals or freezer burn. It has the taste and consistency of ice milk, definitely not like any ice cream we've ever had. That's very disappointing considering we paid a premium price and expected a premium product. The expiration date is in 2026, so I guess that's not the problem. Maybe we just got some bad product. We'll just stick with Perry's or Breyers ice cream because we know what to expect from those two brands.

This is a wonderful dairy that makes the most wonderful ice cream. You can buy a cone or even a half gallon of their premium ice cream.
