Neither had a distinct flavor. I mean cone on peach ice cream should tast like peach.. but it was just creamy sweet with a smidge of peach when you bit a random piece of fruit.. Sad.

Yummy soft serve!…read more Interesting flavor options for mix ins/flavor bursts! I got a small vanilla soft serve with the cheesecake flavor burst. The flavor burst was quite artificial tasting- it didn't taste like other cheesecake flavored things which I usually love. It was more like artificial sugar cookie? I preferred the vanilla soft serve by itself. Portions are large! Would still return but would skip the cheesecake flavor burst.

They have interesting rotating soft serve flavors. The interior is small but cute, whilst the outside is your classic hometown vibe...with the exception that it's just a short bit away from one of the most gorgeous waterfall parks in the area. Despite nearly always having a line, service is fast. The chocolate covered waffle cone is a must to keep endulging and not just stop at ice cream​

I got the chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles and it was the perfect sweet treat. If you only want a little something, you can get a kids size like I did, but they also have small, medium, and large sizes too. One thing to know is that it is cash only. If you do not have cash, they may offer an IOU like they did for us. There is an ATM next door, but I had issues with it not accepting my card, and my friends had the same problem, so I ended up paying in quarters. They were very kind and patient about it though. The line can get pretty long, but it moves quickly, so it is not a bad wait at all. It would be nice if there was more seating, especially since so many people come here, but overall it is still a really great stop for ice cream.

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!

I enjoyed the kiddie size strawberry cheesecake sundae. I chose vanilla soft serve, fresh strawberries, small cheesecake pieces in it complete with the graham cracker crust, with whipped cream. I chose not to have the sprinkle and the cherry, and the nice woman made the price less. It was fantastic and refreshing on a very hot day! Highly recommend!

The real disappointment was there was barely any hot fudge...so little in fact, that it wasn't hot. I like my hot fudge and want enough of it to start to melt the ice cream. It would have been more economical to just get an ice cream with fudge running through it. Sorry that it didn't satisfy this time, but I would be willing to try again... making sure there was enough hot fudge before accepting it next time.
