I arrived around 7:30 on a Friday and it was not nearly as busy as I expected!
This place only accepts cash. So, thankfully some nice people in line let me venmo them money so I could have icecream! (Seriously, how nice of them).
The flavor today was strawberry with vanilla. It was quite delicious! Their concept of 1 flavor a day is neat. And makes it easier, as you don't have to decide between dozens of flavors!
There was also plenty of parking. Definitely will return to try the other unique flavors they have!
This place surprised us being a tiny little building with a HUGE line of people waiting to get in! They have one flavor each day and you pick what size. The ice cream was the creamiest we've ever had! It was worth the wait!
I remember before coming to this place that my friend said this place had the best tasting ice cream. I doubted him and I have to say he was right. If you're a picky eater then you won't like the one favor a day rule they have, but their ice cream is so creamy and delicious. Completed with an awesome view you'll really love this place!

Tourist in town and tried both here and Mountain Mist (Pine Cone was always closed with no posted hours). Mountain Mist has the best location right on the water in downtown Saranac Lake, but this place has a great view of the mountains, some lawn you can sit on, and a nice farmy vibe. They have a tiny little shack and no options other than the flavor of the day on a cone. Your only choice is size, honestly given the LONG lines we stood in (probably 50 people deep every time), I wish they wouldn't even offer a size choice (listening to people debate the sizes inside was torture). The soft serve is $3-$4 per cone depending on size. We went multiple times as this place was by far the creamiest and most tasty soft serve we had ever had. I mean I don't totally get this place - in the summer you can get $1 soft serve at McDonalds so these are incredibly expensive, but I guess you are paying for local and high quality. The incredible thing is they closed mid-week while we were there for the rest of they year, in spite of the 50+ never ending line every day. I don't know about you but if I could charge this price for my cones and my only overhead was high school kids hourly salary and some of my local cream, I would keep this thing open a lot longer. Anyhow, if you want the best, this is the place.
We loved this soft serve. It was creamy and delicious. The fact that they only served one flavor was actually super exciting for our family. The first stop we had peanut butter swirl and the next time it was blueberry. My older son was making predictions about the flavor they would have and said, "I think it will be something with berries this time". We were all so excited to have blueberries and cream!
The line moves fast and the signs are clear.
Note: It is cash only! I did see some folks show up and leave to get cash. I hope you'll read this before you go to grab some before you get there.
The ice cream is incredible.
If you have a picky eater with you this isn’t the place for you. Unless you get lucky that is. There’s only one flavor available each day and it changes.
Parking is extremely dangerous and difficult as it is not a ton of spots and you’re backing out on a busy highway. There’s no place to sit inside or outside. It’s one of those little gems that has an incredible product so you put up without everything else.
Oh and cash only.
Some of the tastiest ice cream coupled with spectacular views! Check their Facebook page to find out what the flavor for the day is. Your taste buds will thank you later.
