“A great place in an unlikely spot: an old Abbott's in a plaza that has seen better days. Lovely people and good food. We found them because our regular spot for safe gluten-free food was temporarily closed and we just keep going back. They have gluten-free pastries including apple fritters--a must try! Would love to see more vegetarian options show up, but they are very agreeable and understanding if you request light cheese or no cheese. The regular pizzas are also amazing; really good sauce and crust. Highly recommended.“

Ice Cream Cone

“Had to wait 10 minutes to get in because the employee was on break. However, I was visiting from Buffalo and I'm a big fan of Perry's ice cream but this place might have them beat. The butterscotch chip ice cream was phenomenal and so was the lemon bar. My significant other loved her red velvet cheesecake and ice cream as well. Definitely will be returning soon ☺️“

“The flavors are limited but we chose the flavor of the day, peanut butter brownie cheesecake. It was delicious! Very smooth. The waffle cone is huge! Piece of advice: Order the regular size as the portions are generous. The store is clean and bright. The two young women working were pleasant but a bit slow so expect to wait a bit if there is a line. Will definitely return.“

Chocolate Almond Custard

“Best spot for frozen custard in Rochester. Right up on the lake next to Ontario Beach Park, plenty of parking nearby, and this place is always hoppin! Nice for a family outing, or a nostalgic date night with your significant other. Chocolate almond on a waffle cone is my go-to. Note: custard is a softer 'soft serve' ice cream and it melts very quickly. Have little ones? Grab a pile of napkins...you'll need it.“

Byrne Dairy & Deli Ice Cream •
1305 Maiden Ln, Rochester

“The only reason I didn't give it all 5 stars was because it was FILLED with students from Olympia who were rude and obnoxious. They need a "no loitering" policy and someone to actually enforce it.It was completely ridiculous - kids swearing loudly, fighting each other near the gas pumps, jumping in front of moving cars and then laughing about it, belligerently pushing past (paying) customers, and basically just in everyone's way that was trying to pump gas or make a purchase inside.Essentially, avoid that place between 2:00- 3:00 at all costs. Other than that, nice place.“
