Scoops Ithaca Reviews
Great spot for ice cream. Nice selection of hard ice flavors that change regularly. Custard is also good. Never disappointed with the flavors or the portions. Cash only. Definitely recommend. Bonus grassy trail near the pavilion to walk for wildlife and enjoying ice cream.
Great flavor selection and super creamy! Both the white lightning (chocolate/mint) and coffee/chocolate chunk were fabulous. I eat A LOT of ice cream and this is some of the best I've had! Also very reasonably priced.
Excellent soft serve with huge portions
Clean and fast, excellent selection, good prices
Get the cannoli ice cream. Fabulous.

Summer is here when it opens.

Hands down best ice cream in the area!!!
Great dairy free options thank you
Very good sundae's and service!!!!
Always the best scoop and the best service! A++
If you have an ice cream craving and you are within 20 miles- just go here. Great price, great value, great people. You can get two flavors in a small. Check out the fun pond next to the sheltered picnic tables
Great soft serve! Love that you can access the Lansing Center Trail right from the parking lot.
This place brings me back to my childhood! Tons of flavors to choose from and they have a patio seating area so you could enjoy your cold treat out of the sun! There was also a Lily pond there with a bunch of frogs and toads. The largest of them all is named Frank. Stop by and say hello!
Very good ice cream, very good prices, and very nice seating. This is easily my favorite ice cream place, and it is very good for hanging out with friends or grabbing some ice cream after a game. I wish every town had an ice cream place this good.
Great frozen custard! I got the pb cup sundae and it was well worth $5. The young ladies working the window are very friendly. Great place :)
We were there o the last day of school. Even though there was only 1 employee there, she busted her butt. Also kept a smile on her face and was lovely! Oh and the ice cream was amazing!!!!!!!
A nice simple ice cream stand. Perry's Ice Cream. A nice mix of flavors and they offer multiple sizes and styles as well as sundaes.
Staff was very friendly. Ice cream was very good. Thank you for the wonderful service.
Great ice cream and a nice setting. The local favorite place for my in-laws to go when they are in town visiting.
we like their ice cream and something to do as a family
My milkshake was good and the pavilion with shaded picnic tables was much appreciated on a hot day.
Great service and great ice cream. Super nice people and a neat table area on the side.

Good icecream, nice location and friendly staff. They have custard, and thats always a bonus!
Good soft ice cream but purity brand isn't the best for hard ice cream. Portions are generous!
Friendly service, and good ice cream.
Great ice cream with a beautiful garden
Hard working team that runs it. Amazing milkshakes.
Alway a nice place to stop for a treat with the family. There's almost always a line but the service is quick and thecline moves quickly. Nearby pavilion offers ample sitting area to escape the sun and the Lansing trail is a nice walk after you finish. I'd recommend stopping by if you haven't been yet.
Classic cash-only seasonal ice cream stand featuring western New York's Perry's ice cream. Good selection of flavors, including the basic soft-serve flavors, a sherbet or sorbet, and a non-dairy option. The best touch is a covered pavilion with picnic tables right next to a surprisingly nice little water feature complete with frogs and minnows. Great place for kids.
Not as many options as other places, but still good ice cream!
Good ice cream, great selection and friendly service! Unfortunately, the parking lot is a dust bowl, so don't go if you've just washed your car.
Good service, glad to see they finally decided to make the size of their ice cream cones respectable. Still a little pricey compared to other areas of NYS that we travel to

Nice folks working there and they serve many many flavors.
I wanted orange creamsicle ice cream, which they didn't have. She offered to make an orange float for me. I also ordered a Peanut Butter Cup Sundae (L). It was $13.25 for both. The sundae was fine. The orange float was pathetic. There was a tiny bit of soft ice cream on the bottom of the cup as she poured some orange crush soda from a can into the cup. It cost a lot and was the worst float I'd ever had. I threw it out when I got home.

The price for a small cone with two scoops is $4.50 . I think it is too high in price
