Worst ice cream place in town! I have no idea why it's summer and they have not been open since 2…read moreyears ago in summer. Why? Idk, but I am trying to find out I have a theory that they have might of sold drugs or some stuff like that. Not bringing out any offence tho. Also, if you are never opening again, let something else better take its place! When I have went, there were like 5 to 6 flavours and a few toppings... not to lie the ice cream or yogurt was not the WORST but it was not the BEST. I would not recommend this yogurt place anytime anywhere and I would never go again. But if you are thinking of going... you can't because it is closed!! Well I hope you got something out of this.. bye!

So I have been trying to give this place the benefit of the doubt because they are new in town and…read morewithin walking distance of my home. But.... After four attempts I think I might be giving up on them. The first time we went they were extremely disorganized, didn't even know where lids and bags were for a to go order, and the frozen yogurt was overpriced and underwhelming. The second visit, the place was about 100 degrees! The last thing you want is to walk into a HOT ice cream place where both the frozen yogurt and all the toppings are melting. Apparently they hadn't vented the place properly and were then closed for the next two days to fix the problem. The third visit proved pretty good and uneventful so I regained hope that maybe they were getting it together. Until yesterday....I pull up to the place with my son, the lights are on, the OPEN sign is flashing in the window, the front door is open so we walk in. We are then told by someone holding a hose of some kind that they are closed! Maybe turn off the flashing open sign then? Quite annoying to then have to put a disappointed child back in the car and drive over to 16 handles. Bottom line: The people who run this shop are very very nice and I believe are trying hard to get this business going. But opening up before necessary things are done in the place, and being sporadically closed to fix these things is going to cost them a lot of customers. The yogurt isn't anything special or different from the other two places right in town, except that they actually offer a lot less choices. It is easier to go to one of those where you know what you're gonna get and they'll be OPEN!

There's no aftertaste to their ice cream like a lot of the other ice cream places in the county. Service is good, but sometimes the portions can be a little inconsistent, but that also usually depends on who's serving. It doesn't happen often though. The place is a little small inside, but they have chairs and tables to enjoy your treat outside. It may not be all perfect, but I will take their ice cream over anyone else's.

We came here for a refreshing treat on a cool Sunday evening, and it absolutely did not disappoint. Luckily, the weather kept the crowds manageable -- busy, but nowhere near the chaos of a hot summer afternoon. Nestled in the mountains of Warwick, NY, this creamery has such a charming, peaceful vibe. I first discovered it a few years ago after taking my nephew apple picking nearby, so I was excited to finally make my way back. The scenic drive alone is worth it. On this visit, they were serving customers inside only, but during peak summer days they also open the walk-up windows, which seems like a smart system for handling bigger crowds. Inside, the L-shaped counter setup helps keep the line moving efficiently even when there are multiple groups waiting. One thing I truly appreciated as someone with a gluten allergy was how clearly they labeled the gluten-free flavors on the menu. It made ordering stress-free and saved me from having to ask a million questions. Honestly, I wish every ice cream shop did this. Another huge bonus: they allow two flavors in a small size! I ordered the Great White Way and Calf Trax with rainbow sprinkles, and both flavors were absolutely delicious. After grabbing your ice cream, there are picnic tables outside overlooking breathtaking mountain views. It's the kind of place where you could easily sit for hours, relax, and just take in the scenery while enjoying your cone. The staff was friendly, parking was plentiful (always appreciated), and the overall experience was exactly what I hoped for. Bellvale Farms Creamery continues to live up to the hype, and I already can't wait to go back.

I had never been here before, so I went in completely blind, but the second I got out of the car, I understood why people come here. First of all: parking on BOTH sides of the street. Say less. Nothing ruins a cute little ice cream trip faster than circling for parking while your will to live slowly leaves your body. Then there's the smell. The scent wafting through the air should honestly be studied because it had me floating toward the building like a cartoon character following a pie cooling on a windowsill. I'm not saying the aroma dragged me in against my will...but I'm also not *not* saying that. Inside, the shop is set up in an "L" shape, and they have the flavors posted both outside AND inside, which I deeply appreciated because nobody needs the chaos of 14 people trying to read one tiny menu while pretending they're ready to order. They let you sample flavors before committing, which is dangerous for someone like me because suddenly I become an ice cream sommelier. I ended up getting Bellvale Bog and Calf Trax and let me tell you: absolutely worth it. 10/10. No notes. And somehow it gets even better once you walk back outside because there are picnic tables with a view that is genuinely stunning. Like, annoyingly picturesque. The kind of view that makes you stop mid-bite and rethink your life choices. For a completely spontaneous stop, this ended up being one of the highlights of the day. I will absolutely be back, and this time intentionally.
