Not My Dad's Ice Cream

Went here by accident which turned out as a delightful accident to stop by for refreshing treats. I ordered the Bubble Gum hard ice cream over a cone – not my usual flavor but my gut said so. And I love it!! Not too sweet, just right and the color was super cute. We sat on the bench near the stall. Oh, they only accept cash so far if I'm not mistaken.

It's one of the best places you can get ice-cream locally. I highly recommend. The outdoor seating is nice. Really close to a lot of great parks and other interesting things in Trumansburg.

Great little shop, stopped right on the way back from Taughhannock Falls. They have a nice selection of flavors (I went for the Mocha Chip), as well as Dole Whip and snack foods. Seating is limited with social distancing, but the line, with its six-foot markings, was very easy to follow. Nice to visit a roadside ice cream shop!

Totally worth a trip ! The menu is fun with a playful assortment of soft serves and hard choices and it’s all delicious. While the ice cream alone is definitely worth a trip, the owner and staff are exceptionally kind and generous making the visit that much sweeter. Just remember your cash! (Or checks). They don’t take credit cards.Bottom line, be sure to weave a stop in on your next trip to T’burg or go out of your way to get here. It’s a unique little spot.

Ok before ordering check out the pictures of the sizes of the cones. The portions to say the least are very ample. My favorite is the root beer float with coffee ice cream! Let me say this about the float as well, when the ice cream is added to the soda, if the cup has too much soda, the reaction can over flow the contents right out of the cup, and over your hand. Apparently this is not their first ice cream stand! So the preparer only fills the cup half full of root beer, and then give you the rest of the can to add to your float at your own jeopardy. This is just one small detail and added value and bang for your buck! The staff are always cheerful and upbeat. Even when they're busy, service is very swift, and you never have a very long wait to enjoy your treat!

I am a frequent visitor of this establishment. I have never had a problem in the past, and always came back. This time when I was here, the staff was extremely rude and condescending. I requested two flavors in one cup and apparently that was not allowed. Instead of accommodating me, the staff was rude and asked me to step aside and make room for other customers. I am extremely disappointed in the way I was treated. This used to be my favorite, and I am sad that the quality of service has declined so drastically since my last visits. Their ice cream continues to be good, but the staff could use some retraining in my personal opinion.

It's a nice quiet place to go. The staff was friendly. The ice cream was already melting by the time we got it but it was really warm outside anyway. We'd probably go back again if we are in the area. The baby size cones are super tiny and cute. They are the perfect size for a toddler

Unfortunately the customer service I received will make me never return to this ice cream shop. When I came here with my family there were two girls working and they were completely rude to me and my family. I am not sure if they were just mad that we came in an hour before closing, but they didn’t say a word to us from the time we ordered until the time we left.

They have dairy free dole soft-serve (pineapple and cherry) in twist, and they also had gluten free cones!! Serving sizes are very generous!! Highly recommend!

I have to stop here at least once every summer. Creamy soft serve ice cream and fro yo with twist flavor options. Have hard ice cream with a good selection of flavors ( I had chocolate peanut butter and mocha chip. yum). Sundaes, floats and shakes and hot dogs and nachos. There is only one No Sugar option--boring vanilla- but, hey, it's a cold treat on a hot day.

Both times we stopped here on our vacation the girls at the counter were super helpful and explained all of the different flavors. This is by far the best Ice Cream parlor we have ever visited.

This has been the ice cream store I have went to since I was a little girl. I still remember the first time I had a twist soft serve cone, dipped in chocolate, now they have expanded and have several flavors. I remember when it started there was red or brown lol. The prices are very reasonable, they have not changed much, and somehow the people they always seem to hire are friendly and live there job, I remember coming when lines were out to the parking lot at both widows, yet and still nobody really had to wait long, this little shop is definitely one of our family favorites. As well as in sure it is for many others, my grandma has lived in Trumansburg since I was born, and I can honestly day at the age of 34, every summer I still look forward to the soft serve 🍦and the 🍨🍧🍨 can't be beat that are top notch and you definitely get your money's worth. Thank you not my dad's for remaining to be one of the only consistent things in this chaotic crazy thing we call society. 🙏🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏👍#STAY💪

Busy Friday evening. They had 2 windows going so it didn't take long to place our orders. A small hot fudge sundae and a small (not so small) chocolate dipped waffle cone with chocolate sprinkles/jimmies filled with hard ice cream came to less than $10.00. The girl who served us was kind enough to give me a cup and a spoon to turn the cone into. Yummy!

Very good ice cream. And service most of the time, An employee mistakenly handed out a large ice cream cone, instead of letting someone in the crowd enjoy it she took it back and stated, "This is not a charity, we don't hand out free ice cream cones," and then she promptly threw it in the garbage.

Great little counter service ice cream spot! Of the Finger Lakes there is better soft serve and places that make their own hard ice cream rather than just selling Purity (which is okay). But if you're in the Trumansburg Main St area, the prices are cheap and better than a DQ or MacDonald's equivalent come. CASH ONLY.
