Ice cream and summer go together like, well, summer and Lake George. You simply can’t have one without the other. Sunny beach days, a game of mini golf, and a rich and creamy frozen treat – it’s what summers in Lake George are made of. Hard ice cream or soft serve, in a cone or a dish, loaded with toppings or au natural, we’ve got the scoop on the best spots for ice cream in Lake George.
Martha’s Dandee Cream
The most famous ice cream spot in Lake George, Martha’s Dandee Cream is actually located south of Lake George Village across from Six Flags Great Escape amusement park. This soft-serve ice cream icon has been a landmark for more than 75 years, and was even featured on NBC’s “The Today Show”. With 37 flavors of soft serve ice cream, Martha’s offers a rotating selection of 12 flavors each day.
Lake George Ice Cream
Located inside Caffe Vero, Lake George Ice Cream is the home of King Brothers Dairy hard ice cream. From cow to cone, every scoop is locally farmed and locally produced. Choose from traditional favorites, including vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, as well as original favors, like Coconut Crunch, Coffee Break and Just Take My Money Caramel.
Ben & Jerry’s
For ice cream that eats more like a meal, full of chocolate chunks, candy pieces, cookie dough and more, stop by Ben & Jerry’s on Canada Street. This locally-owned and operated shop serves up cleverly-named ice cream flavors from the iconic Vermont-based ice cream chain, including the famed Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey and Phish Food.
The Pink Roof
So named for its pastel-painted shingles, The Pink Roof has been serving frozen treats on Beach Road since 1970. Choose a flavor burst swirled with vanilla soft serve to create unique flavor combinations, like cotton candy and coffee n’ cream, or order from the rotating menu of soft serve flavors. After a game of putt-putt at Around the World Miniature Golf, reward yourself with a coconut shake, or grab a homemade Italian ice and watch the steamboats come and go from the docks.
Scoop’s Ice Cream Parlor
Home of the handmade waffle cone and ice cream from Wilcox Creamery, Scoop’s is located on Canada Street in the heart of Lake George Village. This family-owned ice cream parlor offers both hard and soft serve ice cream, milkshakes, handmade ice cream sandwiches and more. Enjoy outdoor seating, generous servings and reasonable prices.
