The ice cream is always delicious and hard to choose what to try each time. This past visit was odd as we were over charged for an extra cone. I showed the digital receipt to the cashier and she refunded me. Felt weird but hopefully it was an honest mistake. It's now a WNY staple for gourmet ice-cream.

I have never known the place till my friend introduced me and i love them for the first time. Evolution coffee flavor is unbeatable.Excellent price with excellent portion.I have been trying so different ice cream places but i admit this is my best favorite one. Try it and you wont be disappointed

Great ice cream which is why I keep going back to them however the past THREE times I've gone they have messed up my order and I have had to go back and correct them. I'm going to start looking for their ice cream at different retail locations instead of going to them.

Simply….wow. The ice cream was really good and very rich. The 3 scoop sundaes are definitely shareable. The price is a little steep, but worth it.

The absolute best ice cream in Western NY.Some flavors I highly recommend are:Peanut Butter Epiphany - I don't even like peanut butter, but this smooth and creamy peanut-y goodness is a must have.Black Raspberry Truffle - if you like Perry's black raspberry, Lake Effect's will make you re-evaluate your entire life. It's so delicious, creamy, raspberry goodness with bits of dark chocolate.Whiskey Brown Sugar - creamy alcohol flavored deliciously yum!Meyer Lemon - it was a 2021 flavor that I really hope they bring back. It reminded me of a lemon cheesecake. I highly recommend this flavor in milkshake form.There are many more flavors, ice cream cakes, sundaes, cones. I usually order pints that you can request in any available flavor.It's worth the trip.

Very good ice cream, decent price. Not as big of scoops as I would like, but nonetheless very tasty. I 1000% recommend the loganberry. Kinda sad that the london fog had toffee for it is something I dislike, but next time I go, I may get some just to try it out. Can get extremely busy though, but it makes sense.

Has so many good ice cream flavours!

Lake Effect is really great. Fun to try new flavors and they have really extravagant toppings, flights and hyper-local flavors.It keeps coming up on my Google search for vegan ice cream but does *not* have vegan ice cream.

Awesome ice cream and specialty Sundae selection.However, they need to do something about the garbage cans outside. They need sealed ones that the door flap closes tightly. Went there with 5 kids, swarmed by bees, and when I say swarmed, I mean at least 5 landing on each person's ice cream and swarming our faces. Couldn't even enjoy our ice cream. It melted all over while we were scrambling to walk down the street to eat our ice cream in the grass. ALSO, who the **** serves ice cream on PLATES !?!?!?!?!?!?!?
