    Fifi's isn't just about fantastic ice cream- it's about community. Not only do they have more varieties of flavors & combinations than I have ever seen at an ice cream spot- their staff cares. They respect that people are going there even for the tiniest scoop of ice cream, a group of people or family who are spending time together, & just anyone who walks up to their window. I am a Fifi's regular & haven't had something I haven't liked yet- from ice cream to sherbet to milkshakes to sometimes having different types of dessert. Wide variety of toppings. Just overall- you can't really go wrong at Fifi's.

    Absolutely amazing selection, ice cream and toppings. A must visit if you are in town. Wow ohhhhhwow! Deelish!

    Wow! I love Perry's Ice cream and Fifi's has the largest selection of flavors I've seen!! They also "load" their decorated waffle cones full of toppings. The nice young man who helped me was friendly and patient while I decided. Graham Canyon and Coffee and Donuts! I'll definitely be back!

    Good place for Perry ice cream. They have indoor and outdoor tables. Parking lot is small so definitely a challenge coming here during summer. Staffs are friendly. They offer many Perry ice cream flavors which is the best, as well as other ice cream and drink. I got baby blueberry cheesecake and small cannoli and it was good. Price is same as other places

    Fido's in Syracuse open late till 10 pm on Sunday. Seating is outdoors. Purchase counter is outside. Ramp or stair access. Had cute Halloween names for ice creams to order. A heavy hand with the candies not so much ice cream. Whipped cream and cherry on top. Many flavors. A place to go.

    YUM!! Their ice cream - amazing! It's a great shop where you can go to sit outside. So many options to choose from! The ice cream was very soft and melty - so yummy! They have plenty of parking and seats. There was no line when I was there, although I waited a little at the window, the staff was great! Best ice cream I've had in Syracuse!

    This was my first time going to Fifi's, and I wasn't disappointed; huge serving sizes and reasonable prices, there was only one person prepping orders (or so it seemed) so hopefully during busy times there's more, otherwise I could see long lines. There's plenty of seating but the seating area could use some TLC (empty flowerbeds and chipping paint etc) but the ice cream and açaí bowl were delicious, will definitely be back.

    I'm just gonna say it - FiFi's is our favorite. I think my girlfriend and I would agree that ice cream is one of the biggest and most crucial components to true happiness. The amount we spend each year getting ice cream would probably get us out of debt. But I don't think there's any regrets there. Anyway, I say all this to clarify that our opinion is not made lightly. There's only a hand full of places in the area we haven't been to, but as it currently stands we drive across town to come here, passing many other places on the way. Most ice cream places choose like 12-24 flavors from their provider (in this case, Perry's). After the base of obvious flavors, you'll usually get a few unique picks that might be different from the other places. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure FiFi's just checked every single box. Anything I've ever heard of, read about online, or seen at other places is on this board, plus so, so many more. It takes a few minutes just to read all the flavors. This is why I went with the seasonal specials so many times, it's just easier than picking one yourself. I feel silly for ever prioritizing a place for any particular flavor they've opted into, now that I know there's a place that simply just has them all at once. I've tried all their seasonal specials, and they're all amazing. The cookie monster flurry was absolutely packed full of cookies and dough. I usually have to emphasize like three times for that kind of thickness, but this is just what they're handing out. I added peanut butter to the banana cream pie milkshake. It kind of derailed what they were trying to do, but I recommend you try it anyway. Best milkshake ever. The breakfast sundae using bacon, maple syrup, and blueberry pancake ice cream was also incredible. The crunchy waffle cone bits stayed preserved in an ooze of syrup. If they suggest it on the board, try it. They know what they're doing. If we want a guaranteed good milkshake, we come here. We can't pass up on the extra thick option, and you have an entire board of Perry's flavors to work with as a base. Graham Canyon has been a personal favorite all around. I tried a Frappe once. I just wasn't feeling like ice cream for whatever reason and ordered a rainbow cake frappe. While it was delicious, and I would have raved over it in any other setting, it just felt like such a waste going to FiFi's for watered down dairy. I see they also have a full on selection for Acai bowls, but I suspect I'd feel the same way ordering them here. We're actively trying new places whenever we can. You can't win if you don't play. Honestly, it was that logic that brought us here in the first place. The way it just sort of sits here on James St, it really didn't look that impressive. Now we come here when we're not up for the risk of mediocre ice cream from some place else. Every time we've been here has been a great experience. It's that consistency that makes it worth the higher pricing, and sometimes the long lines. Last time we were here was a few weeks ago and they were starting to power down. Their Perry's list was only about half as wide. I'm assuming this is it for the season, but we'll be there first thing next spring.

    Usually love fifis, but I don't know how their sad attempt at a snoball (iykyk) and a kids hard ice cream costs $17. The kids at the window didn't even know what I was ordering that was literally in front of my face on the wall??? Inside is cute, but closed for ordering even though it's hot af outside.

    Peanut butter hot fudge cups chunks sundae yum!
    Cyndi H.

    This is the best lunch ever! Peanut butter, hot fudge, peanut butter candy pieces, little m n m candies, ice cream, whipped cream and a cherry . What's not to love? The combinations available will fill any taste. I also love the blueberry muffin but all are good. Well I still have a few to try but all the ones I have had were definitely good! Can't get there, use Grubhub. Yummm!!

    This is my first time here, the ice cream was delicious. I had rum raisin & red velvet on a sugar cone. I loved it, the staff are so nice and the prices are inexpensive. I will definitely stop here next time I'm in Syracuse.

    It's weird how you can live a life in fully devoted to getting ice cream whenever possible from…read morewherever possible and still find new places like this. I don't think this place has been around long at least, but we definitely missed in its prime this season. It's kind of tucked away on Nottingham in the Drumlins building. We tried to come here last Sunday. Their posted hours had them opening hours ago, but they were closed. We cried and cried, regrouped, and went to Carvel. They were open the next time we tried a few days later. It seems like a small setup and one-man operation, with a dozen or so flavors of Hershey's hard ice cream and standard soft serve. It's the last week of the season, so they were kind of winding down. I love Fall, but it's sad watching the ice cream places dwindle down once they've stopped re-ordering. And all the best flavors go first. I got a banana pudding sundae and added peanut butter sauce, because peanut butter banana. The banana pudding made a great sundae, and they put something that served as pie crust at the bottom. I wish I'd thought to slow down and see what it was, because it was incredible, but I ate it as quickly as possible. They don't seem to have a ton of selection on the regular menu (maybe they do specials when they're going full speed during the season), but I'd come back to try at least half the sundaes I saw if they're made as well as the one I had. My girlfriend got a milkshake and used banana pudding ice cream, and a scoop of peanut butter ice cream (I forget the name of it). It was an average milkshake she said, but the pb cup pieces in the ice cream and crunch coat added on top made it better. We threw in a counter cookie at the last minute. It was a lot bigger, but I'd compare the taste and consistency to a Wegman's chocolate chunk cookie. Soft and kind of chewy but with a super consistent texture. They're homemade, but have a less than homemade feel to them if that makes sense. We were extremely hungry and taking our ice creams home, so this was to keep us alive for the drive home. I'd have to see some compelling specials or be right in the area to come back here. It's better than a bare bones ice cream stand, but not enough to pull me in from the distance I drove to try it.

    Nice servers, big portions of great ice cream! With two two-year-old grandkids who loved it too!read more

    I strongly believe that if you own and/or work in a service capacity that wouldn't typically allow…read morepets, you should be VERY aware of Service Dog rules. I tried to go into this establishment with my service dog and the woman said "no dogs allowed" when I responded that he was a service dog, she looked at the man working said "where's his vest". I said he wasn't obligated to wear one to which the woman responded "my allergies". I felt very unwelcome and I put the dog in my car and came back to tell them that not all disabilities were visible and their actions made me feel incredibly unwelcome and distressed. To which, the they chuffed while the customers laughed and the man said "all I did was ask you where his vest was". No sir, that's not all you did.

I wanted the speciality hot fudge sundae but it wasn't on the board but she said no problem she would make it in the bigger container and put a lot of fudge throughout it. It was amazing!! A large amount of ice cream and the hot fudge was delicious. They have a small seating area inside and a few small tables outside. It's a destination for me because it's like a 45 minute drive. Whenever I'm in the area I will for sure stop in!!!
