What is summer without ice cream? No day on the lake is complete without a cone or a dish of your favorite flavor, and when the craving strikes, we've got options for you.
A few scoops of ice cream is the perfect respite from the sweltering heat of a LivCo summer, and the Genesee River Valley has no shortage of ice creameries — and hidden ice cream gems — to satisfy your cravings and cool you down.
Indulge with a chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist, a decadent hot fudge sundae with all the fixings, or a brand new flavor you’ve never tried before at one of our favorite ice cream shops.
Dansville, New York
Angie’s Ice Cream Shoppe is a throwback to summers of yesteryear, when soda shops and ice cream floats were all the rage. All of the ice cream and cones are homemade, but you can also dig into a cookie dough ice cream pie or a towering sundae with everything you want.
Have a special order? No problem. Angie’s also offers gluten-free and no-sugar-added flavors, with dairy-free flavors on the way.
Mount Morris, New York
Known for being irresistibly creamy, all of the flavors sold at Zeppo’s Creekside Creamery are handmade in the store, fresh. Dig into a dish, towering sugar cone, or ice cream float sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Not in the mood for ice cream? Zeppo’s has an abundance of other treats, like chocolate-dipped Oreos and hot cocoa bombs.
Nunda, New York
Expect a line for this cult favorite! Kish-a-wa Creamery is a cash-only ice cream shop that showcases the best of farm-to-table creations. They partner with local producers for their dairy and other ingredients, so you always know you’re getting the freshest and the best.
Enjoy an old-fashioned custard, large milkshake, dole whip, or one of their specialty flavors like Rush Hour, a delicious blend of coffee ice cream with caramel swift and chocolate-covered coffee bits.
Geneseo, New York
Located in the heart of the Village of Geneseo, Sunset Scoops boasts a wide variety of ice cream flavors, from the classics to the unusual.

Livonia, New York
Twisters has been a seasonal favorite of Livonia locals since 2004, serving up over 40 flavors of custard and homemade hard ice cream. Dig into a dish of Cinnamon Churro ice cream, a cookie bottom sundae, or even a classic slush puppy.
Dansville, New York
Ice Cream Island is a local favorite with a wide menu that will satisfy fans of all frozen treats, from hard ice cream to frozen custard. Ice Cream Island also offers a rotating menu of ice cream sundaes like strawberry shortcake and pumpkin roll, so there’s always something new to try.
Lakeville, New York
Come for the ice cream, stay for the family fun! At Minnehan’s getting ice cream is just the cherry on top of the sundae. Hit the gas pedal on the go-kart track, putt-putt a few rounds in mini-golf, rack up points in the arcade, and top it all off with a towering cone of ice cream, drenched in hot fudge and rainbow sprinkles.
Conesus Lake, New York
You don't even have to leave the water to grab ice cream in LivCo! On a hot summer's day look out for the Ice Cream Float on Conesus Lake, serving ice cream directly from a small fishing boat on the water.
Back again this summer, hail down the Ice Cream Float for ice cream sandwiches, popsicles, cups of Angie's Ice Cream from Dansville, and much more. Enjoy classics like chocolate and vanilla ice cream while lounging on your boat or floating down the lake in a kayak.
