24 Best Ice Cream Shops near Jamesville

“Delicious flavors, the best staff in Central New York“

“Very kind, attentive servers. BEST CUSTARD EVER! Highly recommend their chocolate & peanut butter custard (soft serve). Cash only.“

“Carvel is always a great option for a quick ice cream stop. They don't have the flavor varieties of the best ice cream shops around, but their products are consistent and flavorful. There are many pre-packaged treats available and the ice cream cakes are a classic party favorite.The waiting area is cramped, so in the summer months the line is often out the door, and if you are looking through the freezers then you're usually stepping around people.“

“Very broad of assortment of high quality chocolates, ice creams, shakes and custom desserts and treats. Many are handmade. Costs a little bit more but worth it. Friendly, helpful service. Expect to sometimes wait a few minutes when ordering. Seating inside and outside.“

“Very Good Home Made Ice Cream!“

“Delicious ice cream with great prices! Found with a google search leaving Green Lakes will definitely be back when we go to the park again!“

“My husband and I love Perry's Ice Cream. Although Hilltop Ice Cream no longer carries the almond milk non-dairy vanilla or cookies and cream flavors they do have a nice lemon sorbet. Catching up with neighbors as you enjoy your chosen flavor adds human interaction to the experience. I recommend the queen of hearts, my husband loves white lightning, both are dark chocolate bases. In the stores you can't beat orange dark chocolate twist or bittersweet symphony. ??“

“Best ice cream in the area with the best prices! Wonderful customer service! You will never be disappointed.“

“So we have been searching for the best ice cream in the USA for the last twenty years and I think we have found it! We went to Gannon’s Ice Cream in Syracuse, NY on the advice of a longtime local and wow, was she ever right when she said this was amazing ice cream! We stopped by the little stand which is located in a tiny shopping center and have not had fresher, creamier or more flavorful ice cream since Steve Herrell’s closed in Northampton, Massachusetts. The butter pecan was THE MOST BUTTERY and nutty perfection ever, the peppermint chip was loaded with thick, satisfying quality chocolate pieces and the lemon ice cream was a revelation, sort of like a frozen lemon posset. The dark chocolate walnut was like eating frozen hot chocolate - dark, rich and bursting with chocolate flavor - and the walnuts were halves, not tiny pieces. We are only sorry that Gannon’s is hundreds of miles from home but not to worry, we will be back!!“

“My first time coming to Fifi’s and it was delicious, had ice cream nachos.“

“I love, love Bailey's! Bernie the owner is the nicest person and ALWAYS gives everyone a smile and great customer service. His staff are nice and so helpful and really give out nice size portions of ice cream. Great shakes, Gifford's Ice Cream (my favorite peanut butter pie),homemade soft serve, sundaes and flurries with fruity pebbles and cocoa crisis and so many others to pick from. My go to place for ice cream. Yum yum!!!!“

“Watermelon Gelati...

Yes, please, and thank you. Their Italian ice flavors include lemon, cherry, blue raspberry and they also had watermelon. Since they do Gelati, I figured why not.

My goodness, it is so refreshing. It makes me think of real watermelon with whipped cream, only better.

I highly recommend trying it. For reference, pictured is a small.“

“We were walking in to get ice cream yesterday and witnessed a child wipe out on a scooter near the store. The woman working all alone behind the counter was quick to respond to my request for water and napkins and provided a cold bottle of water for the boy as we made him a makeshift compress before he had to go to the hospital. So glad your employees feel empowered to help! of course, we enjoyed all the delicious vegan options as well.“

“A Syracuse staple! The food, service, prices and atmosphere are all exceptional. I live about 45 minutes away, but it's worth the trip every time. Highly recommend!“

“Thanks for serving our 60 guests and keeping everyone cool and happy! It was a real treat and you made the experience SO easy!“

“We rented Skippy’s for my son’s birthday party today and what an awesome experience for all the kids and adults, too! Right on time with the ice cream truck and music, and lots of variety of ice creams! Highly recommend for any event :-) The owner was very reliable and answered all my questions via email. Thank you so much!“

“I love stopping here and getting myself an ice cream cone along with a pup cup for my boy Georgie! Prices are fair and the young women running the booth are always friendly.“

“5-star ice cream. I drive here from Buffalo just to get ice cream, and I honestly wish they were closer, seeing as how I can rarely make it out towards Syracuse.

I’ve politely mentioned my suggestion of a closer location to the staff of these Syracuse Carvels, but they have always immediately shrugged it off.

Compare that to Rita’s Ices in Rochester, which always has the best service of any ice cream shop I’ve ever been to, and at least kindly tells me that they’ll think about it.

I don’t know any store around here that sells dry ice. I can’t transport a whole ice cream cake back home, it’ll melt on the way back! I haven’t been able to enjoy a fresh Fudgie The Whale cake. ?

But anyways, my main concern with this specific location is parking. The lot is waaaaaay too small for a whole plaza of stores. There’s like 8 stores in a plaza with 15 parking spots. I would imagine I’ll probably need to park in the Tops parking lot in the future, just to visit this store for an ice cream cone. (And I would have to walk across a busy intersection, as well!)

The problematic parking lot often dissuades me from visiting this location, and I end up going to the Brewerton Road location more often than not.

Of course, there’s constantly crazed Dunkin Donuts drivers in that Brewerton parking lot trying to do 30 in a 5 MPH lot…but considering I drive so far for a cup of soft serve, I’ll take what I can get. ?“

“The best iced matcha latte I’ve ever had. Large portion and it was blended like a slushie. Deeeelicious.“

“Always the best ice cream! Don’t let long lines make you think you wait forever, they will go through the lines super fast. They have all sorts of fun treats for the littles. If it’s super hot of course I recommend a small ice cream or something in a cup or it will melt really fast. We always have a great time here“

“Love Artic Island! Ice Cream is so good and such a great environment! I was so excited to hear that they also can make treats for your pups! I contacted them about making a little cake for our dog Lunas gotchya day and they made the cutest unicorn cake for her! She loved it!! Will definetly keep coming for summers to come,for family ice cream outings!“

“Cookies are okay. Not something to be jumping up and down for. But the service…. Why do they all seem like they are forced to be at work. They all seem as if they are in a mental hospital. Furthermore why is it all white. I feel like I’m walking into an insane asylum maybe just a touch of color but you guys do you“

“Delicious! Will come again“

“Listen, if we could give them 1000 stars we would. They know us by name, Bill and Amanda. We pick up 8 half gallons (aka "everybody) every couple of weeks, sometimes more. I'm not gonna get into specifics as to why we would give them more stars than Google allows because they do things specifically just for us and I dont want to cause an uproar lol. Just know from the owner (in fact, he happen to be there one day talking to us and he went out of his way to make sure we get taken care of everytime we go in there and it's frequently) right down to the everyday staff are absolutely amazing. In our world, it's the little things that make us happy, specifically cold stone ice cream. It's our mom and dad treat after the kiddos go to bed. Our one treat that we can call our own haha. We put in a movie or put on our favorite show and indulge. They have really gone out of there way to show us what true great customer service is. They've done things most places would call "too much". Just this past Sunday, they yet again did something most places wouldn't do just to make sure we got our order, got it when we wanted it and when it was convenient for us to get it. Again, all I can say is no other business I've done business with has done the things they have for us to go above and beyond the "duty" of customer service. We appreciate each and every person that works there. We've never had one bad experience. Not one. They've always stuck by there word and then some. You take care of us and we take care of you. Thanks for all that you do for us. It certainly doesn't go unnoticed. Please don't ever leave this area because we would be heartbroken. Lol“
