A better quality version of baskin Robbin's. Kids got lemon flavored soft serve. It was also good. Refreshing. Lemon flavor was very subtle. More like vanilla with a hint of lemon. Melted quick on a hot day so be careful. Would return!

Went here with a friend after dinner and I was not prepared for the portion. I got a single scoop…read moreand it was double the size that I expected. So if the portions are huge why only 4 stars. Well the ice cream is pretty average. People have been raving about the fact that they serve Hershey's ice cream and I felt it was just average. There are a lot of flavors which is great, especially if you come with family. Prices are great for the portion size. The atmosphere is very family friendly. I'll probably go again and possibly update my review if a different flavor changes my mind.

The ice cream prices are a little higher here but they give u a massive serving for what u order I…read moregot a small which was supposed to be 2 scoops but it was more like 5 it was so huge I couldn't finish it and had to throw some away the biggest thing that sucks here is the time they operate this place like it's summer hours and I think they should stay open later possibly until 10 or 11 pm I know a lot of ppl who have said if it was open later they would of went I've tried the Italian ice which I guess is homemade it's good and I've tried the ice cream which is just regular but it's good not bad not great I think they need maybe a bright light up sign to let ppl know it is there and open for business it needs that wow factor .good location just need more signage

Home-made soft-serve and sorbet! Great flavors!…read more We found Sweet Melissa's Ice Cream shortly after lunch. (Jul 2026) We had to try their ice cream bars: homemade lemon chocolate chip ice cream, with a coat of crumbled lemon cookies, half-dipped in homemade dark-chocolate shell! Clever and delicious! We also had a dish of homemade Blueberry Guava sorbet! Intense red-purple color and sweet frozen flavor! Great summer treats! We ate faster than they melted :-)

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!

Luscious ice cream, also lunch…read more When we saw an amazing fruit tart next door (more or less), and we realized that Purity Ice Cream was so close, the plan was instantaneous and obvious. One of walked two blocks north to get ice cream to top it off! Good plan, because parking here is tricky. (They also serve lots of lunch options, but that wasnt our target today.) (Jul 2026) It's a classic place for families. It's very popular, and yet was pretty quick even with the line of customers. Of about 25 classic and creative flavors, we went for a cup of vanilla with bittersweet chocolate shavings. When the rest of our group showed up, we built our treasured treat on the nearby Cayuga Trail, with a view of the inlet. They always say, look for the crowded places to find good treats. Bingo!

The line was pretty long and service wasn't the best on this side but that gave me some time to peruse the flavors. They have some flavors all the time and then some seasonal rotating flavors. I went for one classic (cookie dough after dark) and one seasonal (salted butterscotch brownie) and both were absolutely delicious! So creamy and flavorful. My husband ordered a scoop of chocolate peanut butter and a scoop of mint chocolate chip and enjoyed both of them as well. We would come back here for sure...thank you, Purity Ice Cream!
