They have homemade ice cream and gelato. The vanilla ice cream was excellent and so was mandarin orange gelato. Worth a visit.

Great place for that afternoon snack. We loved it so much we went back the next day. The ice cream scoops are very generous. The help is extremely friendly.

Pretty good ice cream. I got Maple Walnut, and I thought it wasn’t that great, but I’ve been spoiled by local Maine ice cream shops so my standards are pretty high. Their cones are delectable tho!

Extremely flavourful and smooth ice cream and ices! The coconut and lemon flavors were incredibly strong and left us wanting more. The staff were friendly and served us very quickly. Little to no eait.
Parking is available up front, order from the window and seating up front too. The signage could be more organized because there was so much to choose from, but that's never been a bad thing! Can't wait to be in town again and try more flavors!

This little shop had the best vanilla soft serve I've had in my life. I swear there's a secret ingredient. If I could buy in a store nearby I would. Good stuff.

Wow! Enjoyed the quick four minute walk from Watkins Glen State Park to this wonderful ice cream parlour. They had amazing homemade ice cream flavours, including cannoli cream and sweet corn (both delicious and cinnamon-y) and a huge variety of Hershey ice cream. They also had vegan /non dairy options (peanut butter soy was excellent), soft serve and gelato. So many options! There’s even a sample tray of 3 or 4 flavours if you can’t decide. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Huge portions and well priced. Our kids had Superman waffle cones and even the “small” was huge. We also had a slushee with ice cream in it and it was great. Good service too!

Local ice cream shop with a friendly touch. Do you want an ice cream cake for that favorite person in your life? Know all their favorite flavors? Guess what, Great Escape will make it for you and it will look like a masterpiece in cakes. And of course, they have you cover for the pre-made ice cream delights, when you are in a hurry, or the fresh cones, sundaes, and shakes.

I love all the options here! Homemade ice cream, Hersheys, gelato, soft serve, Italian ice and more! I got homemade coffee and vanilla brownie. My boyfriend really enjoyed his waffle cone. Very yummy ice cream!

This sweet (pun intended!) Ice cream parlor is ALWAYS on our list of "places to visit" when my girlfriends and I visit Watkins Glen for our annual wine tour. I was thrilled when I ordered a novelty ice cream (similar to a Dairy Queen Buster Bar) and was told they were on sale 2-4-1!
Their prices are VERY reasonable, and the product is delicious! They also offer a grape pie (which I haven't ordered yet, there's always next year!)
There are tables to sit at outside, and it's only steps to the entrance of the Watkins Glen State Park. Allow yourself a treat after you go for your hike, you deserve it!
