Phenomenal ice cream! Better than Purity!…read more My favorite ice cream stop in Ithaca! A tad on the pricey side and I don't love their waffle cone- quite average and no depth in flavor- rather bland. Nonetheless, I love their fun flavors of ice cream! I have tried purple cow, cookie explosion (my favorite), cinnamon (reminds me of cinnamon toast crunch), coffee & cream, caramel apple cheesecake, and blueberry cheesecake! Good service, friendly workers! I particularly appreciate how willing they are to let you sample flavors! Also, very good with allergies. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

If you've spent any time in Ithaca but have yet to visit Cayuga Creamery, it's time to change that!…read moreI crave ice cream 12 months of the year and struggle with this because so many of our wonderful shops close for the winter, however Cayuga Creamery is here to save the day. They're open all year round scooping up homemade ice cream with unique flavors! Too cold to eat out? Enjoy your cone in their comfortable seating area surrounded by flyers of local events & businesses. Never been and want to pick the best flavor for you? Ask their friendly staff who is always willing to answer any questions you have!

After not being there for a while, this was legitimately my first stop on campus when visiting. Went straight from the airport and got some scoops. Even on days when the temperature dipped below zero, I found myself wanting ice cream from Dairy Bar when I was a student. Years later, I'm happy to say that the flavors were still as good as I hoped. There are times when nostalgia can carry or elevate a memory of something, and luckily, nostalgia aside, I very much enjoyed my ice cream here. Pro tip for those who might not know: they serve limited flavors of the same Cornell-made ice cream in dining halls. They also serve it during the buffets at Statler Hotel. I love the different flavors, and would eat it at any time of day.

The original flavor is hands down the best! The toppings selection is great too, with a good variety to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for something fruity or a little bit of everything, they've got you covered. We love loading up with fresh strawberries, popping boba, and a sprinkle of colorful candies--just like in the picture! Despite seeming expensive, it's actually not that bad price-wise. It's a sweet deal for a sweet treat (who knew indulgence could be so affordable?). Interestingly, despite being a grocery store, many people don't come here for groceries (there are simply better options out there). Instead, they flock here for the froyo. Its alt name is the "froyo spot," and for good reason. If you're in the area late at night and looking for a froyo fix, Jason's Grocery & Deli is definitely the place to be. It's become a bit of a tradition for us, and we're never disappointed! (Plus, the late-night runs are always an adventure.)

I was persuaded to stop in with one of my clinical colleague stopped in on our lunch break next to Upstate Hospital. I went with a 6 box of the good stuff: 2 triple chocolate, 2 walnut chocolate chip, 1 blondie and 1 brookie. It's pretty self explanatory, soft baked, melty chocolate, and definitely not good for me but so delicious haha Overall I enjoyed the visit to Insomnia cookie. I never been disappointed on my visit especially back home in Texas. I only had 2 because I'd be insane to have it all in one go. But you can't beat the sweets. But one thing to note is the premium items are baked in smaller batches. If you want a good amount of it, I was told to special order it ahead of time. At most they do 4-5 of each but the regular menu is always available. Just your local cookie fix, in and out then indulge. Treat yourself
