Cayuga Lake Creamery- Interlaken, NY

Many people travel though the Finger Lakes region enjoying the wine trail, farm land and winding country roads. Here we found the perfect road side ice cream stand, Cayuga Lake Creamery. It is a must stop- only a 10 minute drive north from Taughannock Falls! Cayuga Creamery pays hommage to its roots, offering a scumptious wine sorbet and numerous other ice cream options from shakes to sundaes all made with local farm, fresh dairy.

Check out this "single scoop "! We love it when the cone is weighed down from all the ice cream on top. 

There are so many flavors, even ice cream made with soy. They even offer a maple bacon flavor from 8-11am for breakfast on Saturdays(now that's a breakfast of champions)! Cayuga Creamery's ice cream tastes super fresh and creamy, it is rich from the happy cows and goes perfectly with brisk country air. 

They have many options for sundaes, like the Bait Bucket topped with chocolate crumbles and sour gummy worms or try a slice of Ice Cream Pizza. There is even ice cream for Fido, featuring soft serve topped with a dog bone. Its fun for the whole family!

Flamingo Crossing- Key West, FL

Flamingo Crossing is where our love for ice cream began! Our annual trips to Key West, Florida since birth consist of a daily(sometimes twice daily)ice cream cone from Flamingo's. Their delicious tropical flavors make us compare every other scoop of ice cream we ever eat to Flamingo's delights! If their flashy, fun and bright flamingo sign doesn't draw you in, their intriguing flavors will! Words truly can't describe their ice cream, but we will give it a try! When consuming Flamingo's ice cream you are consuming an experience, their tropical flavors such as Passion Fruit, Guava and Papaya capture the tang of the tropical island, they are flavors that truly cool you off, while their Cuban Coffee flavor brings in a little bit of island culture to your mouth. They have flavors you can not get anywhere else in the US, we never even knew soursops and mameys were fruits until we saw their flavors on a Flamingo's ice cream cone. Flamingo's flavors are rich, distinctive and smooth. 

Flavor combos you must try:

Key Lime and Passion Fruit

Cuban Coffee and Chocolate 

Rum Raisin and Coconut 
Butterscotch and Coffee  

Banana and Chocolate 

Key Lime and Coconut 

Guava and Orange 

Small cups and cones can get you two flavors while the medium gets you up to three flavors. You are going to want to get more than one flavor because once you leave Flamingo's you may never see these exceptional flavors again!

So as you stroll Duval street in Key West, Florida you better be holding a cone of Flamingo Crossing's ice cream (or we will be giving you the evil eye if we spot you with a cup of Haagan-Daz in tropical paradise, what a sin that would be!).
Enjoy a scoop from where our love for ice cream started!
