    Papa Jacks is a must-visit anytime I'm home - it's been our favorite hometown ice cream spot for years! We love their hard ice cream; it's just Perry's but it hits different when you're at your childhood ice cream parlor!

    Great place for ice cream! The staff are wonderful and welcoming. The prices are fair and the quality is amazing.

    Peanut butter cup ice cream with hot fudge... To delightful excess

    Better than your average road side ice cream shoppe... Ample parking, clean store, pleasant service and tons of choices... But beware the regular size sundays. Very generous with the ice cream and you won't run out of topping before you're finished... Might want to have desert before dinner! Also, lots of seating inside and out. Haven't had to stalk the tables looking for a group that is about to leave. Not sure there is such a thing as a bad ice cream place but this one really stands above the rest!

    Our partially eaten small Death by Chocolate sugar cone in a dish. We ate it immediately, forgot to photo before.

    Yummy yum yum. Needed a custard after dinner and found it here. There's a cleanup station to help you through your eating experience. I ordered the 'Kiddie' vanilla and chocolate twist in a cup with chocolate sprinkles. My bf ordered the 'small' Death by chocolate hard serve in a sugar cone and cup (approx $10). Both were delish and overwhelming servings. The sounds of children's laughter while eating our desserts was an enjoyable experience. Family oriented and lots to choose from. Enjoy!!

    Hello again fellow travelers! We stopped by this ice cream place on our last road trip on the way home. Service was quick, they had lots of interesting flavors, including some combinations that sounded like they were made up just to have a different kind of ice cream available that nobody would actually want to eat :-) Don't miss out on the chocolate covered waffle cone with sprinkles which aren't always in the main window to order. I love homemade ice cream, but this is not my favorite. We have a place called The Scoop locally and it is the creamiest, tastiest ice cream you can ever get. This was certainly ice cream, but it didn't have a lot of flavor to the ice cream base itself. Sure, anybody can throw a bunch of toppings into a cream base and it looks really exciting, but the ice cream itself just wasn't Shazam.

    Damage to this Swamp Sundae was due to our inability to wait for a picture before digging in. So good and shareable even at "regular" size!

The shop itself is charming, and the outdoor seating is even better -- picnic tables, comfy chairs, and a glowing fire pit that makes the whole space feel cozy and inviting, especially on a summer evening. Inside, they offer some truly amazing treats. The flavors are bright, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical ice cream shop. Staff were friendly on both of our visits and helped guide us through the options. We haven't yet been able to try their signature rolled ice cream -- once due to an anti‑griddle issue, and once because they were out of a specific cream needed -- but fear not, there were plenty of other excellent choices. Some in our group went with classic scoops, but we opted for the Ice Cream Nachos, which turned out to be outstanding. You choose your scoops, and they're served over delicate, crisp pizzelles and drizzled with sauces. We picked Cinnamon Roll and Banana Cream Pie scoops, both bursting with flavor and leaving us simply smiling. The finishing drizzle of pancake syrup tied everything together beautifully. Service was extremely friendly and prompt, and the outdoor seating made the experience feel relaxed and fun. This review reflects two separate visits, both of which were excellent. Frost & Foundry has quickly become our new favorite ice cream shop, and we'll definitely keep coming back -- hopefully soon enough to finally try that elusive rolled ice cream too.

    What a fantastic find!…read more Cutest little corner shop in a great lil neighborhood. Sweet decor, fabulous customer service. The owner scooped up our treats himself and was so friendly and chatty. We had a big group- we have seven kids- but he was quick and efficient. The real star, though, was the ice cream. Everyone was thrilled with their choices and practically licked the dish. I had the peanut butter chip yogurt and it was divine.

Imagine asking, "What would an ice cream stand be like if it were crossed with a fine FLX winery in a beautiful farm setting?"--that's exactly the vibe here. Elevated, serene, and absolutely delicious. The facility and grounds are immaculate, with a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they generously offered samples so we could explore the flavors before committing (dangerous, because they're all incredible). We ultimately chose three flavors: * Cookie Monster (Real Cookies & Cream) -- Their take on cookies & cream is next‑level. It's built on their handcrafted vanilla cream base and loaded with hearty chunks of their own legendary chocolate chip cookies. Think of an ice cream sandwich turned inside out--rich, decadent, and deeply satisfying. * Fleur Bleu -- A gorgeous blend of local organic blueberries, subtle French lavender, and their classic vanilla cream. It's delicate, floral, and beautifully balanced. This one kept us slowing down each bite just to savor the nuance. * Ditch Mint Chip -- Made with hand‑picked fresh mint and dark chocolate chips. Bright, refreshing, and leagues above the artificial mint flavor you get elsewhere. It was excellent, though admittedly overshadowed by the other two standouts. The frozen custard itself is among the best we've ever tasted--rich, creamy, and unbelievably smooth thanks to their signature use of local duck eggs. Even the vanilla base was a sleeper hit, with a depth of flavor you don't expect until it hits you. The setting is perfect for a Finger Lakes outing. Whether you're spending the day visiting wineries, hiking the gorges and waterfalls, or just exploring the region, you need to make this a stop on your route. It's one of those places that elevates your whole day. A truly special spot. We'll be back.
