Up in Tivoli while driving around the area discovering this part of the Hudson - and after having the sun beat down on us all day, we needed a pick me up. Ice cream. always helps but we were blown away by the astounding flavor selection. I had a double scoop of labne sour cherry and halva honeycomb- I was in my middle eastern Heaven. My husband followed suit with a milkshake made with a rose water saffron pistachio ice cream and a shot of espresso- like an Arabian dream. Really worth the every dollar. It's rare to be left feeling lifted and happy and not just satisfied. True artisans here- do not pass it up! Plus the staff is just as excited about your choices as you are - lovely people read more

It's definitely fancy ice cream, but they do it really well, including with some flavors that are consistently tricky to pull off. Mint chocolate chip has no green additives and is a subtle but deep/dark mint, which is really rare to fine. Matcha ice cream had a very clear matcha flavor just like when I make it myself at home. read more

Well well well .... Open for the season and we are thrilled! This ice cream is simply the most delicious - small batch, great flavors, and incredible vegan options. Super pricey but worth it. Service is friendly - get some tastes. But we sure to have some Sour cherry Labne - honey halva.... And something else on their seasonal specials board...passion fruit coconut if it's available. But honestly you cannot go wrong. Check hours as they close midweek and again for the winter. read more

Was in the area for apple picking & wanted to try a local ice cream spot. Upon searching a bit, Fortunes seemed to come highly recommended so off we went. I'm quite pleased that the hours go until 10 pm because the people need post dinner ice cream!! Unfortunately despite reviews saying the ice cream is generally pricey, the prices are not readily available. I was so excited to eat the ice cream that I also forgot to take a picture of the menu board with the price From what I remember a small cup was around $5, medium cup is $7 ish and large cup is either $8-9. I asked how many scoops each cup can get and I think you can get two scoops per cup (maybe more for the large? I'm blanking). There are of course come options as well as toppings. Their flavors change pretty regularly it seems and there was a slim fridge on the side of the store with pints of flavors that were not featured in the display case (I didn't look too closely). There were some interesting flavors like labneh quince and kiwiberry but I'm basic and I got a medium cup of mocha and hazelnut chip. The staff was friendly & let me sample my target flavors before I bought. I took a lick of the labneh quince flavor he got & it's definitely an interesting tangy yogurt y flavor & both bf & my friend enjoyed the passionfruit flavor they got. The mocha ice cream is strong & hits you with a punch of coffee flavor. The hazelnut chip is deliciously sweet and flavorful & reminded me of like a Nutella-y praline flavor with the chips providing a fun crunch. The hazelnut chip flavor was my favorite! I love pistachio gelato (legit one from Italy) so I was curious & asked if they offered pistachio ice cream. They offer both a pistachio as well as a rosewater saffron pistachio flavor at other times. Seeing how good the hazelnut chip & mocha flavors were, I have high hopes their pistachio would be good too. The medium cup was a pretty fair amount of ice cream so while it's on the pricy side, I think it's a great ice cream option in the area. There's some cozy interior seating with a handful of tables. I rec it for ice cream and a wonderful post dinner dessert spot. Looking forward to what other creative flavors they have! read more

Earl grey lavender shortbread!!! They have the best flavors...and great service!!! You can get, shakes, drinks, ice cream by the cup or cone. And they have dairy free options. First of all, this city is super quaint, friendly, good service, nostalgic just all around good. This ice cream parlor has the best flavors. Something for everyone. From mint chip to rhubarb. I believe they have the best ice cream in the state. Can't wait to go back. read more

The first thing everyone noticed is the cute little building that housesfortunes ice cream. It is located right on the main road. Parking can be tough, but I usually find a spot down one of the side streets. Nice selection of ice creams with seasonal flavors. I believe most of the ingredients are local. The ice cream is delicious. On a very hot day, they could do a slightly better job of keeping it firmer. The service is pretty good. Looks like it's run by a bunch of students, which is fine, but I have seen them get overwhelmed when it's busy. And it's almost always busy. Fantastic spot to grab a cone or a cup or some to-go ice cream after dinner or when passing through the area. I would recommend it. read more

Really amazing. Both the chocolate and dark chocolate are among the best I can remember having anywhere. My wife also really loved the peanut butter swirl and the coffee chip. We loved this so much we came three straight nights, and I think it's well worth the visit even if we weren't staying in Tivoli. read more

Amazing specialty ice cream shop! Have driven 40+ minutes just to get this ice cream. They are always changing flavors so get what you like while you can. The service is very nice and has lots of seating. Usually there is a line but it moves very quickly and they always let you taste some flavors before you have to choose. We had the peanut butter and jelly Sundae with mint chip and halva honeycomb, rosewater saffron pistachio, earl gray lavender shortbread and labne sour Cherry. All were so good! We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Best icecream I've ever had. Went back for 2nd. Every flavor I tried was better than the last.

I love ice cream and this is one of the best ones I've ever had. The consistency is super creamy and smooth. Their flavor offerings are creative and focused on seasonality. I stopped by a couple of years ago while in the area and enjoyed it so much, I had been looking forward to another visit, which finally happened yesterday. This time I made sure to get a couple of pints to take back to the city with me. I'd definitely recommend any ice cream lover to make a stop here while in the area. read more

Cute little ice cream shop with indoor and outdoor seating. All sorts of fun flavors. The coconut was particularly good!

Nothing beats going for lovely evening walks around the village of Tivoli. Except doing it with an ice cream cone in your hand! Fortune is a wonderful liitle ice cream restaurant serving up unusual and unique seasonal flavors...black sesame, lavendar shortbread, sour cherry...as well as chocolate, vanilla, and other traditional kinds. They also have ice cream related drinks and toppings for sundaes. Ample indoor and outdoor seating available. I think I saw a window for ordering from outside which is handy if you bring your dog. I will confirm this next time I go. Ice cream was delicious... sour cherry was my pick! read more

Cousins raved about this ice cream place and brought me here. We got 6 different flavors to share. Don't remember exactly what they were, but there was definitely one with Earl Grey and needless to say that was my fave cuz I'm an Earl Grey fiend. A lot of Earl Grey ice creams lack the flavor. Not the case here. It was really good. Cute place and awesome ice cream! My recommendation: bring friends and share so you can try more flavors! read more

The best place on earth. Revolutionary flavors, silky smooth textures, dairy free options. I am unashamed to buy 10 pints to prepare for the off season. read more

I was not quite expecting this to exist in a small place like Tivoli, but the ice cream here was REALLY good. I got a small scoop of their malted ice cream with chocolate-covered peanuts flavor (forget the exact name) and it was divine. Texture was perfect, rich, and the flavors were balanced. I liked it so much that I ended up getting an entire shake after that scoop haha. Definitely need to come back! read more

Full disclosure. I can't eat regular ice cream. (TMI - sinus issue w dairy). So I always hope there is some sort of veganish milk version or sorbet that someone put some fun spin on. This place wins everything. Pay attention here, you non dairy folks, and listen closely: Tahini Honeycomb. You for sure have never had anything like it. The dairy ice cream folks will literally drop their dairy cones and run in to get one of these when they taste yours. For Sorbet: Darkest Chocolate This one has actually been described by my husband as "too" chocolatey. Now, we all know very well that there is no such thing. I now always have two pints (one of each) in my freezer at any given time. Another reason to move Upstate. read more

ARE U KIDDING ME WITH THIS PLACE ?!?!?! i am no food reporter/reviewer but what i write here, i say with the greatest certainty and sincerity. when i eat fortunes ice cream, i feel like i am transporting away from my problems, like levitating out of my body and stimulating my brain with actually intelligent flavor and scoop geometry. i have engaged with gelato all over italy, but the supposed best in Rome or whatever is DUST compared to the lowliest cup of whatever these guys have lying around in their basement. i don't know how they do it, but this ice cream is art. we drive from half an hour away a few times a week and tbh i feel like i kind of live for Fortunes ice cream. it should be offered to people as a form of therapy. i feel like it could cure some stuff. two thumbs UP ! read more

Wow, che gelateria bellissima! C'era una ragazza che parlava italiano ed era molto gentile, mi ha aiutato a trovare il gusto perfetto e abbiamo fatto una bella conversazione. È meraviglioso che assumano personale internazionale! Non so come si chiami, ma aveva dei bei capelli rossi. Molto simpatica! Le ho dato una grande mancia! È davvero bello sentirsi riconosciuti come Italiani a Tivoli. Tornerò sicuramente e spero di rivederla! Grazie "Fortunes"! read more

Their 'Darkest Chocolate' is a freight train of chocolate flavor! Next time (um... tomorrow) I will go with 'Halva Honeycomb'.....Kablam!!!

Although not inexpensive, the delicious ice cream is worth every penny. The flavors are amazing.

Best ice cream on the planet! I'm a local so I'm fortunate to be able to go frequently and I'm always blown away by how creative and tasty frozen desserts are. All the workers are super nice and will let you taste everything, it's pricey but worth every penny. If you haven't gone, run don't walk to this spot. read more

So fun and yummy experience. Both my kids were happy...which is a rare occurrence and I was just as happy.

I had really high hopes about this "best of NY" ice cream shop. My husband and I even drove an hr from the capital region to try this place out. It was not good. These stars are more for the fun colorful ambiance, although completely exposed to the rain. I had custard strawberry and darkest dark scoops on a cone. Definitely had flavorless ice crystal chucks in our cream. The darkest dark was bad. Left a waxy coating on my tongue and was hard to finish because it was "dry". Almost like licking straight cocoa powder. The flavor of the strawberry was zingy and nice. Maybe it was a bad day for ice cream here, but we will not make the trek out again to find out. read more

What the...?! This ice cream is a dream you never want to wake up from. The sour cherry labne will transport you! So tart with a touch of sweetness.
