14 Best Ice Cream Shops near Minoa

“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!“

“Just moved to the area from Colorado, and I’m so happy to have found this gem right away. First visit I got pistachio ice cream which was 10/10. Second visit I got a peanut butter milkshake that was so incredible I had to immediately post a review to rave about it. 15/10. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t give a higher recommendation for those looking for a little sweet treat!“

“delicious always friendly and fast service“

“Mine and my dogs favorite spot!“

“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.“

“Very good ice cream and service! We were headed home on our 2 hr drive back after a long day of hiking. It was hot, and ice cream sounded SO good! The girls were fantastic! We didn't realize that technically they closed about 10 minutes ago, but we were served. They were really good at trying out a cherry flurry for us that they hadn't made before. Came out perfectly! Best part....free pup cup for my doggo! This place will be revisited!“

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

“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.“

“Quality ice cream at a reasonable price. The amazing Grasshopper flurry had Oreos and Andes Candies!“

“Wow! I thought this place was going to be social media hype! Boy was a wrong! My daughter wanted to try these cookies and they did not disappoint. The cookies we soft, chewy, and warm. The variety was impressive. These cookies were hug! We were able to share and sample all the flavors and my children loved that. The only off putting part about this place is none of the workers actually talk to or great you. We came in and no one looked up from what they were doing. (It is an open kitchen concept, so to their defense they were making cookies ) when my order was ready the person who gave us out cookies didn’t say a word to us. It felt cold. The cookies made up for the lack of customer interaction. My daughter was excited enough for the entire crew.“

“I went to the Diner for ice cream and ordered the orange dole whip and vanilla twist. It was absolutely delicious. The service was fast and polite. It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend the Diner ice cream.

Kid-friendliness: The Diner ice cream is family friendly and has a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Perfect for families and pet friendly.“

“Love, DQ, and it’s many options of blizzards/Sundays/hamburger items and other yummy delicious things to eat. The people are fantastic that work here. The staff are very friendly, and service is quick, and with a smile. Quite the contrast, from the Dairy Queen in Colonie New York. Totally a big difference night and day. I love the Dairy Queen here in Cicero, New York/Syracuse area. Will be returning soon.“

“Amazing cookies! I love how they're always warm and soft“
