Been here a number of times now and they are one of the best and most reasonably priced places…read morearound in the area. You can go here without feeling like you are spending a fortune. They have a ton of soft serve ice cream flavors but the big bonus here is Hershey's ice cream which can be more difficult to find as everyone seems to carry Perry's which is substandard compared to Hershey's in almost every way. Right now they still have the Banana Moose Tracks which is a fantastic flavor. They have hot dogs also with lots of toppings. They also have a playground of sorts for kids with several Pavilions they've recently put up. Best part is they went the extra mile and put up a fence on the edge of where kids play to keep kids from wandering into road. Finally, they have a wall up now where the seating is located too, once again, keep kids and others from wondering into the busy parking lost entrance. It's busy and popular but worth it. Can't go wrong!

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.

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!
