The vegan wild berry was so delicious and tasted authentic.

I didn’t know ice cream could make my heart skip a beat… until I met this masterpiece. Each bite was like a little love letter, creamy, sweet, and perfectly balanced — the kind of dessert that makes you question every other ice cream you’ve ever dated.
This ice cream deserved dramatic declarations of love. Sharing it with someone special felt like a cinematic slow-motion moment, except instead of a kiss, it was a scoop of pure bliss.
If you come here alone, you might fall in love with the ice cream. If you come with a partner, prepare for a love triangle

The only recommendation is delicious. Purity ice cream parlor was clean, well lit, and full of charm. I only regret that I had only one day to visit because I couldn’t get a scoop of all of their flavors. A must stop if you love ice cream sundaes, waffle cones, and nostalgia.

We’ve been here a bunch of times over the years and today’s lunch was the best service we’ve ever had! Alexis was training a new employee and still had the patience to manage our order that included the ever changing wishes of two small children. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Thank you for a lovely meal, Alexis!!

Had a fun lunch! Justin was great…greeted us with a smile, made sure we knew all our options then provided us with a quick, hot, fresh meal!
Disappointed… Ice cream tastes quite normal to me and there’s no service at all.

🍦 Purity Ice Cream – A Sweet Stop in Ithaca, NY
Whether it’s a snowy winter day or the heat of summer, I believe there’s never a bad time for ice cream—and Purity Ice Cream in Ithaca proves it every time! With a legacy dating back to 1936, this Finger Lakes gem is an absolute must-visit.
This time, I treated myself to their Green Tea Matcha and Coffee flavors, and they were out of this world! The Green Tea Matcha was perfectly creamy and earthy, with just the right hint of sweetness. The Coffee flavor? A rich, bold delight that tastes like the most indulgent iced coffee you’ve ever had—except in scoop form!
Purity isn’t just about ice cream, though. Their menu includes everything from juicy burgers and grilled cheese to all-day breakfast (maple fried chicken and French toast sticks, anyone?). Plus, they’ve got vegan and no-sugar-added options, so everyone can find something to love.
The cozy, nostalgic vibes inside make it a perfect stop no matter the season, and their friendly staff are always ready to make your visit memorable. Pro tip: Add a fresh cone or topping to your ice cream for the ultimate treat!
📍 Location: 700 Cascadilla Street, Ithaca, NY ⏰ Open early, so you can grab breakfast or coffee with your dessert fix.
Ice cream is always the answer—whether it’s freezing or sweltering outside. Purity Ice Cream is a year-round destination that never disappoints!

Growing up in Ithaca in early 1950's, we would walk across a creek, through fields of greenhouses, across Meadow St to Purity, where my uncle made the ice cream. It was the best! Now, all that is original is the Bittersweet, and although good, not what it was!
