5 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dexter

“They are the only place that carries my wife’s favorite ice cream, Queen of Hearts. (I like it too). Their soft serve is also great! It’s not the closest ice cream place but we will go there just for Queen of Hearts, and to change things up.“

“Best ice cream around, hands down. It's custard, so it's extra thick and creamy. Peanut butter soft serve is really excellent, but their basic chocolate and vanilla is tasty as well. Really nice outdoor seating area by the water, take a short walk across the little foot bridge for an almost always empty pavilion, or the village dock with ample parking is just down the road for some different scenery. Service is always friendly and quick. The only thing I don't care for is their chocolate sprinkles. They're the hard crunchy ones that don't taste like chocolate. Not a dealbreaker since the ice cream is so good on its own, but a switch back to the better ones would be much appreciated. Regardless, this is the best ice cream you will find in the area and I will always bring visiting friends here over anywhere else.“

“It’s not the shop you must see to wake an inner child with in, but the whole experience of walking tranquil streets of the Sakets Harbor Town. The ice-cream stand with its little chairs is an add on bonus, thou ice-cream was delish, and portions are way over generous. Come late the evening to enjoy Sunset. I was bless by nice weather and absence of damn self-proclaimed “ influencers.“

“It’s no mistake that Gelato naturally trumps ice cream. The nicety Chiara puts into ensuring her recipes are absolute shows from the initial taste. I purchased 4 flavors and have tried two so far. The lemon sorbet (for it being sorbet), is as smooth as a gelato and is an impressively fresh dairy free alternative that makes me feel like I’m in Sicily eating from a local shop again. The vanilla gelato creates that intense sensation which makes you melt into your seat, so make sure you’re sitting to ensure you don’t lose your sturdiness. I’m looking forward to watching this brand grow and consistently supporting a talented woman who is bringing a piquant addition to my favorite upstate Italian market.“

“Great tasting ice cream from a classic roadside stand. Plenty of outdoor seating although the parking lot is oddly shaped, it only adds to the charm. A steady stream of locals were in line before and after my visit. The rainbow sprinkles were a bit too crunchy for my tastes.“
