Always friendly,best creamy ice cream around the area

If you haven't gone to Tasty Treat, you're missing a North Utica landmark. Kudos to Mike and team!

Always great! Loved this place as a kid and still have a soft spot for it now.

Great ice cream. I am a truck driver and I would drop my trailer to go in there.

absolute favorite ice cream spot in town...nothing beats their homemade lemon ice

The owner is very nice. I've cream was homemade and amazing.

Always enjoy home-made ice cream! And the staff is so friendly. Always a joy to go here.

Really great ice cream! Had a chocolate shake (thick) and my girlfriend had a chocolate vanilla twist. Will definitely be back!

It is really a treat when you stop here. Soft pistachio ice cream 🍦 is delicious.

Local owned, great food and even better ice cream 10/10 definitely need to stop there!!

The best soft serve ice cream in the air without a doubt. The place is spotless and Mike and his staff are incredibly personable and helpful.

Great hot dogs, great ice cream , great fries , great service , great posters! I don’t live anywhere near Utica but if I come back will definitely revisit!

This is going to sound insane, but the sprinkles are amazing. Seriously. Get some sprinkles - They taste better than other sprinkles. Also, the ice cream is amazingly fantastic. Seriously though. The sprinkles. Get them.

Absolutely love this place!

Omg this is such a great place for ice cream and what he did with Lemon Ice for our friend Jason was awesome. I just wish he could stay open year round.

Best ice cream in the area! I have loved this place for 60 years!

Wonderful place for ice cream and very nice respectful workers!VERY WELL RECOMMENDED

So looking forward to my next trip upstate New York to visit tasty cream the BEST🍨 Ice Cream🍦Parlor in Utica New York!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great place to bring the family or friends to get ice cream. The cheese fries are amazing!!

A small local establishment with a nice selection available. Rotating soft ice cream options and a wide range of hard. Plenty of food options as well.

Great ice cream stop we stopped at on a whim on vacation. Great burger and sundae!

We go there at least once a week. The ice cream iss awesome , workers r polite.

A lot of ice cream shops come and go … he’s consistent,,, he is a family owned buisness … and that’s why people keep going back he knows what family means. We aren’t just numbers to him .

Old school ice cream shop that’s well-run and that provides a great product/experience. Highly recommended

Perfect ice old time feel ice cream shop. The owner is very friendly and professional. Good food, great service.

Mike and the girls are very friendly and kind. Great service and great tasting ice cream. The best lemon ice this side of Italy 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇹

Mike and his staff are always excellent. Quality food, the best ice cream in the area, and terrific service. An absolute gem in North Utica.

Awesome place. Very clean and friendly. Great menu as well with a lot of ice cream and grill options. I have been going for lunch and each time the food was great! I will definitely go here again.

Very friendly and efficient counter staff, people watching while waiting to place an order is half the fun. Floats, fries, shakes, sundaes, pup cups and more: The menu is three or four boards long, and toppings are posted separately.

Great little place with amazing ice cream! Their food is a great snack too, but if you're coming here you need to try the homemade ice cream. Wow.

This place has the best lemon ice I've ever had! It's great for lactose intolerant people too. It won't bother your stomach. The people are friendly too!

Great local ice cream and food stop! The owner is a great person who contributes to his community. The food and ice cream are delicious! The staff are friendly and it is a must stop.

This is the cleanest restaurant I've ever been to. They produce thier own ice cream and flavors. The food is delicious. Great friendly service.. I highly recommend.

Mike the owner is very clean and provides personal service to customers. Great product. Delicious.

I love their soft ice cream. Best within the city. Fantastic texture, higher quality product. The place is kept very clean as well.

Amazing! Had a simple grilled chicken sandwich with a classic malt shake. Ingredients were fresh and both the cook and the gentleman at the counter were extremely courteous.

It use to be Dariy Queen I had Pistachio mix with Raspberry soft serve in a waffle cone chocolate lining with peanuts around the cone it was so humid my ice cream melted so fast it was delicious

If you’re looking for a Classic Memory of Times gone by, with all of the Quality Ingredients, This is the place to go. I just wish I could give more than 5 Stars!!!

This place is the best, especially the sundaes and home made ice cream sandwiches..this is a must to stop by and check out and buy...

The best ice cream. Lemon ice and sherbets are outstanding. Flavor intense, made on premise. You will not find better anywhere.

Was recommended for the ice cream. Friendly inviting little shop with choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Good homemade ice cream treats and sundaes. Pleasant conversation with counter staff added to experience.🙂

Absolutely love this place. Everything is affordable and they have the best lemon ice in town! Did I mention how nice the owner is! Always greets you

Absolutely awesome. Great good and ice cream. Super clean restaurant. Owner was friendly and a pleasure to interact with. If we could we'd give a 6 star rating. Highly recommended. We shall return! Thank you.

Omg! This place is so amazing! And the prices are cheap! I always recommend this place to others when ice cream places pop up in the conversation. I love the idea of a flavor of the week for soft serves, and I loved the strawberry soft serve week. All in all, this is an amazing place to go to for ice cream!

Great friendly service. Excellent hard ice cream. Food is good too, quick made to order, but it wasn't busy when we were there. Could use better fries. Worth it though.

Tasty Treat's name is one of the most literal and accurate names for a restaurant I've ever seen. I ordered two things, a soft serve with M&Ms and a blueberry slushie. Both were really great. The biggest issue you'll have here is eating too much. The person at the front was also helpful and funny, and seem the type to remember you. Even when other people approached him.

Maria Johnson

Delicious homemade ice cream. Makes his own ice cream sandwiches with flavors of the day and large assortment of ice cream items. Also has basic menu of hit dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc. Nice seating inside and outside. Great place.

John doti

First, you won’t find a cleaner establishment anywhere. Secondly the ice cream is top notch…. All hard ice cream made in house (pistachios my favorite) watermelon ice and lemon ice are incredible! Good selection on food items but ice cream keeps me coming back

Daniel Henderer

Great summer treats, anything frozen you can imagine!!!

Steven Madrak

We stopped there today to get an ice cream cone. Well that didn’t happen, the food menu is phenomenal ! The sausage sandwich with hot peppers was to die for. It was great and homemade. My wife had a Hoffman hot dog, hung over the ends of the bun. Best French fries I’ve ever had, big, crispy and not greasy. Then the ice cream !!!!! Will be going back there soon !

Evo_Recordz

Great place for food and ice cream, def coming back with my kids ++, 3 years later and still awesome!!

Just came from this place. Order small twist with cone for less than $4. Very good ice cream. This place is my favorite.

Hope Rodriguez

Best ice cream I’ve had ever the milkshake are so delicious whenever I take a sip I can’t put it down 10/10 recommend!

Michael terk

High quality ice cream. Great soft serve flavors. Super nice service. REALLY clean bathroom and facility. Great accidental find 😃

jon protas

I’ll be honest. We found this place by accident. We were driving from VT to MI and my daughter needed a bathroom. This was the first decent-looking place we saw after pulling off the interstate. While my daughter rushed for the restroom as fast as her legs could carry her, I decided to buy something and not just use their bathroom for free. The guy at the counter (the owner?) was incredibly nice, and I was surprised and pleased to see they had multiple flavors of soft serve ice cream, well beyond the basic vanilla and chocolate I would have expected. You could Imagine my shock when I spotted pistachio among the offerings. I quickly ordered one in a loud clear voice ringing with confidence and certainty. He complied immediately, in a cheerful professional manner. When the once arrived, I took a bite. It was fantastic. My daughter returned from the bathroom, pronouncing it sparklingly immaculate. She quickly began to assist in the consumption of the soft serve cone. I used the bathroom as well, We returned to my wife outside in the car. She, too, was astounded at the quality of the ice cream. If you ever need a reminder of what a friendly, delicious snack stand can be, or simply need a bathroom break and a treat, I encourage you to stop by. Note: my daughter helped to write this, which is why it is so good.

I scream you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM... TASTY TREAT ICE CREAM, 29 years has been doing it right! Love the different flavors, the soft serve, the chocolate dipped is my favorite! the pints to go, the prepacked sandwiches are great too. Never tried the food but lots to choose there too. The servers are always pleasant and ready to take your order. Sit inside or outside, enjoy!

Super busy and got ice cream, wait went quick. Great staff! Ice cream was great all around. Good flavors! Classic ice cream and simple American fare!

JFloydJr_315

The best Ice cream around and chili dogs. This visit I had two delicious chili dogs and fries.

Tina Hill

We look forward the new flavors each week. Always polite service here

Heather Shaner

I got a pineapple cherry milkshake and nachos. :) It was great!

Best ice cream in upstate! Waffle cones, sundaes, milkshakes, floats. If it's ice cream they've got it and the gentleman who runs it is one of the nicest people in the entire area. I love that they're doing so well. Please, if you're looking for ice cream or even lunch/dinner give them a shot. You won't regret it.

I love the old school feel of this place. It's pricey compared to other local ice cream joints though.

The ice cream was fab, but it was crowded with 3 other 'parties'. Otherwise very clean and nice staff

Always served with a smile. Portions are a little small and they are a little pricey. But my family enjoys going ❤

It was a nice small little place to go when you are in the mood for some nice warm food or cold ice cream.

The homemade ice cream is the bomb! Great options for the whole family! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they already stopped selling hot dogs for the year!

I suggest this to any person that remembers when a person walked into a small ice cream stand and felt like the person running it love them like family! This is the best ice cream place I've seen comparable to the Ben & Jerry's ice cream store!

My wife and I love the food. I ended up finding it hereand tried it out. Then the 2nd time I took my wife there. The ice cream sodas are huge and worth the price 😋.

House made frozen deserts paired with friendly professional staff make for a good experience. Unfortunately, it is very expensive compared to other ice cream shops and often crowded, with moderate to long wait times.

Luis R Torres

Love the milkshake and ice-cream. Food is OK. Great people.

Typical ice cream and burger place

Ice cream variety is good, but prices are a bit pricey.

Friendly service, nice ice cream, simple food items but a little on the pricey side. They close later than most (10 pm) which is nice.

It was a great place and the people were very nice. What I was sad to see is that there was no lactose free/frozen yogurt options.

Super small portions for way too much money. Always saw it and wanted to stop but won’t stop again. Very expensive for the tiny amount of ice cream you get

great place, few problems though... 1.) they should take your order, then make you pay, then give you your ice cream. how they do it is take you order, give you your ice cream, then they make you pay with sticky ice cream melting down your hands 2.) they never give you a straw with your floats...most places do so why not them? nice place, but also kinda pricey, but i like it

Just went here for the first time and the owner was not nice to his employees. Several time he scolded his employees over little things in front of a lot of customers. It just wasn’t a good look for the place as he embarrassed his employees in front of everybody and I definitely won’t be coming back.

If it wasn't for his great customer service, I would give 1 star. Almost $19 for a hot dog with kraut, fries, a scoop of mac salad, a small side order of cheese fries, and a pistachio milkshake. The price wouldn't matter if the food had been DELICIOUS, but it was far from that. Sadly, the only quality items were the hotdog and mac salad.

Love it, amazing ice cream. But counter girl didn’t wash her hands/wear gloves when waiting on different customers/after handling cash during this pandemic. Had to ask her to wear gloves to make my treat 😖

This place is expensive. 3.50 for a hotdog. 4.00 for a hamburg. We ended up getting a soft ice cream. 7.00 for 2 med. Glad I dont have little ones.

Steven Pilenza

I ordered a medium in a cup. It was smaller than anyone's small cone or cup. It was $5.00 and it was less than what you get at the State Fair for $5. DISAPPOINTED and DISSATISFIED.

Brandon Palmer

Me and the family wanted to try a new spot for us for burgers and ice cream. This was not a good choice. 4 cheeseburgers, 4 fries, and 4 small drinks $65. That would be ok if the food was good. The burgers were the equivalent to wal mart great value frozen patties out of the box and the fries were just a small little portion of crinkles. It was edible just not worth the price. We got ice cream after we ate dinner. $25 for 4 ice creams. The ice cream was good but over priced as well. We will stick with our go to place and write this one off... on a positive note, the staff are very nice here

Chris Smith

Me my wife and son went here for ice cream. The portions and cost were def not worth it. My wife and I got smalls and my son a medium. It came out to about a scoop if that of ice cream. All three of ours.

The girl scooping my ice to forever while the other girl had gotten 3 other customers there ice creams then handed me the ice cream with about too spoon fulls and said that’s all I can get the medium cup was under half filled

I bought a cone here and the wafer was so dusty I nearly choked to death in the parking lot. Their ice cream literally almost killed me.

The food was very overpriced and mid grade, the fries were way overcooked the chili tasted like it came from the can and the owner was also being very rude to his what I am assuming new employee and for 4 hot dogs 2 fries and two drinks chicken tenders cost a whopping 52$

Not impressed, I live just a few houses down and have been there a few times. Way too expensive and they are stifler's on the topings lol I mean I got half a cherry on my small Sunday witch cost almost 10 bucks, I mean they can't spare the other half.

The girls there in the evening just tell you want to hear. My husband wanted to know if the Italian ice would be good in a cone? They said yes. It was $8 for 2 medium cones I vanilla soft ice cream, one Italian ice. Nooooo! As soon as he went to kick it in the car, it fell off the cone because they did not put any in the base of the cone to keep it there. THEN, when I get to my cone I take one bite , ABSOLUTELY NO ICE CREAM IN THE CONE! This place is a complete rip-off!! We will NEVER go there again! Nor should anyone! $8 for 2 medium cones??? Nuts!!! I do not know how this place stays open at those prices!

Lori Smith

Yesterday my husband and I stopped just for 2 tiny baby cones. A little cone with a dabble of ice cream about the size of a tbsp. When the lady said $7.07 I couldn't believe what I heard. I will not be returning again. We went today to another ice cream shop and it was 9.00 for a huge order.. Come on Tasty Treat.. What is happening here. Your prices are crazy.
