This tiny hole-in-the-wall counter service restaurant has endless dessert options plastered all over their wall and flyers around the countertop. There is often a line here, which speaks to the popularity and quality of their products. We had a sundae and an ultimate shake, go big or go home! Highly recommend.

A-MAZ-ING!!! Def a must do, may try place while in Lake Placid!! Such a small place (so it'll get busy & cramped fast), but have soo many choices and they are all so good! 10/10 recommend while in the area!

Get ready to be overwhelmed by cuteness and options. Gee wiz. Mel, btw, is so so lovely. Their vegan Dole Whip is quite good. The peachy one honestly tastes like Tim Hortons peach juice, in a good way. The blackberry soft serve was really good!! Very creamy. No weird aftertaste. Loved.

We enjoyed the ice cream very much. There were so many options. It would take multiple visits for us to try all the things we were interested in. The people who worked there were nice and helpful. There was a long line before it opened. We were very surprised.

Huge variety of ice cream to choose. Service is quick as well. We tried their seasonal mango and brownie sundae. Both were good. Will surely be back to try more :)

I gained ten pounds just walking by. The s'mores sundae was everything you'd expect from a s'mores sundae. I could have eaten everything in the dessert case
