One summer I ate every flavor of Gourmet Cooler (vanilla soft-serve in a slushie) that they had. We took our childhood dog here to get baby cones on the regular. My ultimate favorite - the cookie dough tornado. It has the best soft serve and heaping amount of soft cookie dough (none of those hard pellets you get at Dairy Queen) . It's addictive. Highly recommend stopping here when in season if visiting the area!

The cookie dough is so fresh, it's delicious. The portion sizes are also very generous. I love that the stand is right before you hit the downtown main street, and super close to the river. It's just order at the stand and then they have a few outdoor tables. Whenever I'm in town, this is a must stop. Note their opening/hours are seasonal. They are also cash only.

He roasts his own coffee and the iced brew was really outstanding; fruity and complex. He also makes it into a milkshake ("affogato") which was also delicious.

I have been in Rochester for four days and I have had ice cream here three times. I would've been…read morehere four times except I only discovered it on my second day. Here are eight reasons you should visit Flapdoodles for ice cream: 1. Their prices are too low. (Please don't tell them.) 2. Best cookie dough ice cream I've ever had. 3. Super courteous and friendly staff who are happy to give you two samples. 4. Once you have eaten at Flapdoodles, you will have something to talk about with every Rochester local that you meet. Seriously, they've all been there and love talking about it. 5. You haven't really visited Rochester until you've eaten some ice cream at Flapdoodles. 6. Dozens of flavors to choose from. Something for everyone. 7. The perfect amount of waffle cone to accompany your ice cream. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

Like many others we were just passing through and I came across this Ice Cream Shoppe. Being in…read morethe car for about 2 hours - it's time to get out and stretch and get some good ice cream. So many flavors to choose from, there's a ton here, and I asked some of the locals and they all have their favorites. The great thing is they will let you sample whatever your heart desires. So I tried almost all of the scooped ice cream, and then they had ice cream from the machine. Well in the end my dad wanted a strawberry milkshake, she wanted Butter Pecan - which they did not have - so we got her some Caramel Fudge thing and it was really good. Meanwhile I got 3 small scoops of ice cream - all different flavors. But the winner was the Strawberry Milkshake! Wow - I took a sip of my dad's and was like darn I should have gotten that instead of my 3 scoops. So why the hell not? I'm on vacay and won't be back here for a long time, in fact they are closing soon for the season, so I got myself a small strawberry milkshake - and it was awesome! Probably the best damn strawberry milkshake I've ever had! I mean - the last one I recall having was McDonald's I think, and this beats the heck out of that. Awesome ice cream and awesome friendly high energy peppy service here by all the girls who work here very well as a team. It's like a cheer squad in action - they yell out orders and directions and the person goes executes and brings your order. I'd be here every week in the spring and summer if I was around! Really reasonable prices too!
