This was my first time trying the pistachio soft serve; it definitely didn't disappoint! I ordered a baby cone, but they must have know I was kidding because it was huge. I never order cones, but I loved that it brought me back to summers as a kid, where you inhale your ice cream before it trails down your hand. My mom ordered the Dubai Sundae. Since they pre-make them and keep them in the freezer, it was solid. The drive from Hamburg back to East Aurora made for great thaw time. Once it softened to the perfect texture, she transferred it to a bowl so she could mix together all the different flavors and textures. She absolutely loved it! Albeit it's not gluten-free, she enjoyed this trendy and delicious treat.

Anyways, we made it for breakfast last year sometime during the summer and we were delighted! Met the owner (I believe her name is Molly) and she was an absolute delight! Both cooked and served us! Unfortunately, we stopped by today and it seems the place is officially closed. Too bad. Seems the owner also runs the doggie place out back, so, not really enough time in the day to do both! I hope she finds a way to re-open cuz, if so, I'll be a number one customer! Good luck either way!

Overall, Red Top is a nice old timey place to be by the lake. I highly recommend this joint.

Asked to replace the soft serve on the peanut butter sundae with hard ice cream and it was a measly 50 cents!

Charlap's has been an institution in my hometown for over 50 years. I don't even know how long it's…read morebeen open, but it's been close to over half a century. I've been going here ever since I was a child. I went to school with the Charlap children. It was started by the Charlap family with their dairy farm with fresh milk that would be delivered by truck and glass bottles delivery back in the day, and they made their own ice cream which they served at their location in Boston, which has been the same but has expanded in size over the years to match the production needs. My friends used to deliver milk for this dairy in a truck like the good old days! When our baseball teams won in the town, we would go here for ice cream. They have soft serve and hard ice cream and sundaes and shakes and floats. Anything that an old ice cream shop would have- they even have ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes for sale these days which looked insanely good. There's probably 40 to 50 different flavors of ice cream. They are all made in house and incredible. There is a second location that opened in the village of Hamburg by the owner son, Nick, and it is a much smaller space. Charlaps is open in the winter with limited hours, it is very slow that time of year. However,, In the summer, there is barely parking. There's seating indoors and outdoors. I have watched this place evolved as I have spent most of my life in this town growing up and now visiting my family, who still lives in our Homestead. To me, this is some of the best fresh cream, milk, and ice cream on the planet! And you will never change my mind. Patronize this business it's incredible.

However, liquid nitrogen canisters were nowhere to be found as all of their stuff came out of boxes. I thought the entire draw of using molecular gastronomy was to flair involved in making the food, not necessarily the end product. And because of that and the weather, their ice cream was put at a big disadvantage. Yet they still managed to win the rookie-of-the-year award at the competition. At least one of the workers there let me get 2 items worth 10 tickets for 9 b/c that's all I had left. I had the "Have your cake and eat it too" (aka cake batter ice cream) and a "Nitro Pop". Neither really all that special.

I was intrigued when visiting the Galleria to quickly pay some bills. Located on the second floor right outside of Macy's, it's worth to stop even just to watch and to be amazed. Three employees where quickly moving around the little shop amist a gathering of people just as curious as I was. The large tanks of nitrogen were spouting the gas and the ice cream creators were quickly stirring the concoction as the ohhs and ahhs were being heard. You could either get a flavor of nitro cream and add your own toppings or there is also a list of sundae-like menu options. Flavors like vanilla, chocolate, mint, strawberry, cake batter, pitschao, and coffee were options. The saying of Go big or go home flashed in my mind. So I ended up going with Nitro Mike's Fav which was cake batter ice cream with cookie dough, peanut butter mixed it. The ice cream was very creamy and yet seemed a little less heavy than a typical Perry's offering. The price ended up being just over $6 with tax. They apparently also catering at special events like weddings and birthdays which is a pretty cool idea. The employee who made my order also mentioned that more franchises are coming. But right now they are only at the Walden Galleria mall. As much of a haven of canadiens that the Galleria has become, I feel I'll bear it to have some more of their ice cream!

The reason that brought me to this particular location was a Ten Lives Club event . They were offering Kitty Sundaes that day where the proceeds would go to the adoption center. They also had a basket raffle outdoors. The staff working at Woodys was nice, bubbly and fun. I ordered the chocolate kitty sundae with vanilla/chocolate twist custard, cocoa pebbles, substituted peanut butter sauce for hot fudge and a kitty cookie on top. The price was $7 for the small sundae but I didn't mind, after all it was a donation. The menu has your standard Perry's hard Ice cream, custard options, milkshakes, sundaes, etc. My sundae was pretty tasty , no complaints here! I would patronize them again this summer.
