Stopped here two nights in a row during a recent visit to the area. Absolutely delicious ice cream and super friendly owners/staff. The ice cream is made in house. They had different flavors each night we stopped, and everything we had was delicious. They even make their waffle cones in house! If you are in Oneonta, I strongly recommend stopping here and getting some delicious ice cream. Be warned though, they are only open Fridays and Saturdays from 3:00 until 9:00 p.m.

The texture is luxuriously smooth and creamy, and every bite melts perfectly in your mouth. The flavor is rich but not overwhelming, with the right balance of sweetness and subtlety that makes it irresistible!
