Grassland Dessert Cafe is more than just an ice cream shop -- it's Lakeville's new heartbeat…read more Owners Bill and Lorna have lovingly brought back to life the old Lakeville pharmacy, transforming it into a vibrant, joyful gathering spot that captures the spirit of small-town magic with every scoop.

He's recreated that nostalgic charm here -- with a twist! Craving a classic? The Orange Freeze and Root Beer Float will send you straight back to summer afternoons gone by. Want something modern? Don't miss flavors from Gifford's Ice Cream, like the rich, espresso-swirled Campfire S'mores, or the wildly indulgent Sea Salt Caramel Cookie Crunch -- the kind of flavors you can't stop thinking about.

It's perfect for birthdays, school advisory groups, or a spontaneous family feast. This isn't just a dessert stop -- it's a place where memories are made. Whether you're a local or passing through the Northwest Corner, Grassland Dessert Cafe is a must-visit. Grab a cone, say hi to Bill, and feel the joy of community, one sweet bite at a time.m

The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The winter citrus salad is a must try, and the sticky toffee sundae was the perfect way to end the meal.

We came in as a walk in and had to wait in their lounge. The lounge was so comfy with a fireplace and comfy chairs. There was a complimentary peanuts and you can order small bites and cocktails. I highly recommend sipping on a cup of broth by the fire pit! When we got seated at the bar, the hospitality from the staff really solidified my experience. Daniel M and the other women with glasses (so sorry I didn't get your name!) were cracking jokes, giving us recommendations and really made us feel welcome. As a typically introverted person, they got us chatting and laughing! I would 100% recommend Stissing House and I will be coming back!

Favorite flavors are Death by Chocolate, Coffee Cookie Crunch and Cappuccino Explosion. It difficult to choose between the three since a double scoop is as much as I can handle before my sinuses explode from exceeding my lactose threshold. This snack spot's popularity is well deserved and the line inside can get pretty long and move slowly. Once you give your order to the kind person behind the counter- please don't hang out in front of the ice cream display and block its view. The happy horde of your friends and family are not transparent. The last few times I've been here, there were older couples who were quietly trying but failing to peek in between lolly gaggers to consider selections and order. While staff work hard to finish orders expediently, customer crowd control would benefit if they were more upfront and stated an organized process "I'll get that started for you. Please wait for your order at the pickup area to your left, and we will call your name when it's ready".

This review is towards the mini-golf. When I return for the food truck and creamery, it will get an…read moreupdate. We were thrilled to find a mini golf course in the area and let's face it, there are not that many in the Hudson Valley to be found. The course was set up wonderfully, and challenging for the most part, adding the fun. Some of the course runs parallel to a pond, which can be a hassle if the ball gets in there, so be careful. Something that drew my attention was each hole wasn't numbered, except for one of them which was number 11. Who knows, maybe I missed it. Even though that's an eye-catcher, it's very easy following hole to hole. Also, while golfing in the daytime, there aren't many trees close by, which will bring the sweat game on. Bringing some sunscreen is a big plus. I wouldn't mind making this stop again someday, because there is a lot to do here.

She needs to learn to run a business. How she has so many high reviews is beyond me because I've spoken to others in town and they say she is snappy, rude, accuses people as she did me.

The ice cream is the only selling point but guess the gas stations will get my money now. Small store anyway. Felt claustrophobic by her and the shop. NEVER returning.

Alleyway Beligian chocolate vs Stewart's chocolate: Stewart's ranked superior in taste and texture. Alleyway texture was not as creamy, a bit crunchy from the ice not being integrated enough with the chocolate. Stewart's black raspberry vs Alleyway Vanilla raspberry: Stewart's ranked superior for raspberry flavor and overall quality BUT this was a hard comparison since the Alleyway vanilla raspberry is more of a vanilla ice cream with some raspberry in it, and it stood up well as a vanilla ice cream.

The fam were in the area for a weekend and we'd already had some bad whiffs (both our hotel and the…read morerestaurant we went to for dinner were stinkers). We were all praying a dessert 'nightcap' could salvage this trip far from home. No pressure, Jolly Cow, no pressure. This was obviously 'the place to be' - countless people coming and going. All sorts of "hang out" areas (under a tent, in the grass on benches, you name it) - so we were feeling good that we picked a winner. We waited in line for a spell and when we went to start our order we encountered our first remora... cash only. (People still carry cash, huh?) Crisis averted (yeah, my kids had cash on them!) - back in line to try this again. Family of four all getting some serious treats and all for under $20? Sweet! (Dad puns unavoidable, sorry.) "Small" cone was the size of a Smurf (aka - 3 apples) which is crazy (good). I went with their 'Razzle' which is a step-sibling to DQ's Blizzard (I think the last time I had Reese's Pieces ET was still trying to phone home) and... pretty darn incredible. (Although it too was just TOO much of a good thing and I wish it was even smaller than their small.) You saved our weekend, Jolly Cow. And that's the "utter" truth. (I warned y'all that the dad puns weren't going to stop.)
