Located on Brown's Beach, it's definitely a great spot for ice cream, especially if you're there on a hot day. As you might expect from the name, they are indeed owned by the same folks who own the Ugly Rooster Cafe's. Their menu offers over 25 flavors of soft-serve. If you prefer hard ice cream, 8 flavors of Perry's are also available. Given how small their site currently is, they can't possibly have dispensers for every flavor. So what I believe they do is make smaller batches of a flavor to order and then dispense it into your cone or cup. For the flavor I ordered, Amaretto, you'd never know that might have been how it was made, the flavor and consistency were quite good, and I'd definitely order it again. And for the inevitable comparisons: Flavors - more of them, probably not changing as frequently, see above on how they can have so many available. Flavor was distinct without being overwhelming. Size - You definitely don't get as much for your order. I'm hoping that as they grow as a business, they can be more cost competitive. Consistency - Maybe not quite as dense; on a very hot day, be prepared to lick fast. Still, this is a great add to the ice cream community. And since I'm more likely to be traveling in this area as opposed to going up to Lake George, this is an easy, "Yes, let's go!" for me.

Pros: - takes credit card and cash…read more- hard ice cream selections - nice ambiance and well lit Cons: - large pot hole in parking lot exit - soft serve flavors are not the best One thing I can say about their staff is they're very efficient! Love the texture of the ice cream and I have enjoyed both visits this season. They have light and uplifting music playing with areas set away from the parking lot and roadway. It is lit with string lights and has a more adult date night vibing area to the right of the windows. My ice cream was lopsided, but otherwise, it was a great experience! So if the lines are long, just know they'll get to you usually within 5-10 minutes. No wildly long waiting time. Parking is a bit challenging. We will be back this season and hopefully see some new soft serve flavors debuts as the season progresses!

The young girl kept asking me while i was trying to talk , WHAT KIND. I finally said sorry i didn't realize i didn't say what flavor.

I left the parking lot before i finished my cone because she was still looking at me. Find better help please. I work in customer service as account manager for over 30 years , she needs training.

I decided on the Apple Pie Razzle sundae, which is like a deconstructed apple pie sundae with soft serve ice cream. I chose the maple ice cream and it was perfection! I could literally eat it every single day so needless to say Hayner's is life changing. I will certainly be back before the ice cream window closes in November. Their farm store is also really cute. It's more like a gift shop with candles, toys, home decor, baked goods, ice cream pints and cakes, and coffee. Highly recommend!

The numerous flavors of ice cream are rich and bold. They are described well on the menu. Portions are generous so you may want to size down. I like a "small" cone of the Toffee Heath Bar Crunch.

Having said that, the grilled stuff and ice cream remain as modestly priced and tasty as ever.
