    DELICIOUS!!!!! Best ice cream ever  . This is black cherry
    Mama O.

    Best ice cream I've ever had. Honestly. The Black cherry. Stopped on the way home from Finger lakes. Sadly it's 3&1/2 hours away from us. Guess I should be glad because I'd be here every day !!! :-)

    Really nice soft serve that doesn't feel as melty as other competitors. They don't take card though so make sure to bring cash.

    Amazing ice cream, but proportions are small-ish, and prices are expensive. I recommend 100%

    Best Ice cream around! Prices are very reasonable. Our only complaint is they don't take plastic.. Oh and they close in the winter..

    CASH ONLY! I loved this place. Their soft serve was really great, and they also offer hard ice…read morecream with vegan options, plus a gluten free and vegan cookies and cream. I got the chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles and it was the perfect sweet treat. If you only want a little something, you can get a kids size like I did, but they also have small, medium, and large sizes too. One thing to know is that it is cash only. If you do not have cash, they may offer an IOU like they did for us. There is an ATM next door, but I had issues with it not accepting my card, and my friends had the same problem, so I ended up paying in quarters. They were very kind and patient about it though. The line can get pretty long, but it moves quickly, so it is not a bad wait at all. It would be nice if there was more seating, especially since so many people come here, but overall it is still a really great stop for ice cream.

    Cute seasonal ice cream spot in Ithaca!…read more Located in downtown- the line can get pretty long in the evenings- even on weekdays. Cash only so be prepared. I am partial to soft serve but have tried both their hard icecream and soft serve. I prefer their soft serve but wish they had more flavors. I tried the classic chocolate twist and the two berry twist soft serves. In the two berry twist, I didn't like the pink flavor- it was too icy and more like a sorbet/dole whip than true soft serve. I liked the purple flavor thought! Overall, I still frequent Sweet Melissa's for softserve close to Cornell! Would recommend!
