I spent a weekend in Syracuse and Gannon's popped up as a suggestion for dessert. Usually when ice cream places make a cone, each scoop added to cone is smaller. Well Gannon's each scoop is just as huge as the first! I can easily down...3 scoops, but with their huge portions, 1 scoop is enough. So 2 scoops for me!More
When I visit the Syracuse, NY area Gannon’s Ice Cream is a must! Gannon’s has the best tasting ice cream and so many flavors to choose from. I’ve never had a bad experience no matter what flavor I order. Other relatives always visit Gannon’s when...in town, and we usually stop in more than once. Gannon’s has tables inside to sit down and enjoy your ice cream, or a walk up window to order to go or sit outside. The place is always packed, but the lines move quit quickly. In the mood for a great ice cream cone, Sunday, shake or soft serve? Stop into Gannon’s and you won’t be disappointed!More
I ordered the Maple Walnut. Heaven on a cone, rich thick goodness. There were at least a 1/4 cup of the biggest walnuts, that I had ever seen in my scoop. Delicious. Nice size portion for the price, we are talking homemade with all-natural ingredients...and nothing artificial. I wanted on the line for about 10 to 15 minutes. I would have waited for 20 -30 minutes, no joke. No seating, order and go. I did see people at tables and sitting on large stones outside. All spots were taken, took the ice cream back to my car. No biggie. The servers have a college fund jar with their names and the names of their college. Remember to leave a tip.More
Thank you TripAdvisor. We were so happy with the variety and the quality of the ice cream selections. Thank you
On a Saturday evening in summer, this place was very busy. There are so many flavors, presentation options and additions, that it makes it difficult to choose, which can slow the line down. We had the Milky Way (just like the candy bar, but better...with plenty of caramel and chocolate) and the Lemon ice cream. Both were excellent, smooth and creamy! Return visits are definitely in order!More
We often stop at Gannon's for soft ice cream whenever we are in the Valley but this is the first time we ordered an ice cream cake from them. It was delicious and so beautifully decorated. The birthday celebration was on Easter so I told...them to make it seasonal. The decorations not only included flowers but also included jelly beans, chocolate eggs and Peeps. The decorations were not only on the top of the cake but also on the sides of the cake. Don't settle for an ice cream cake from the grocery store--get a personalized, delicious, freshly made ice cream cake from Gannon"s.More
Not much flavor to the ice cream. Cookies and Cream had strange flavor and Black Cherry had a weird after taste. Better options in Syracuse. Staff was very nice though.
Very good locally made ice cream. Many, many flavors to choose from. Place to sit inside. Not much parking on a nice day it's packed.
I LOVE GANNON'S! I was a student at Syracuse University and would make trips to Gannon's all year no matter the weather. They have A LOT of hard ice cream flavor options available. Along with their hard ice cream they have soft serve, milk shakes...and blended ice cream treats. The actual restaurant is nice too because you can either order outside or inside and there is plenty of seating. The artwork on the walls is really fun and crazy! You absolutely have to go and try their ice cream!More
Thanks so much for the great review ! Glad you enjoy the ice cream and the atmosphere!
It was out of our way but we went as it was hot and ice cream sounded good AND we saw the reviews for Gannons! yum! When we finally got there we thought it looked like a bit of a sketchy neighborhood (sorry, but when...you don't know a city, you don't know the neighborhoods). We took a chance and it was fine....the little gal at the counter couldn't believe that we had never been there before. I asked her favorite flavor and she gladly went through a bunch of them! :) I tried a chocolate raspberry and it was good. They had other ice cream things - cakes and had a big place for a kid's birthday party. We sat close to the door--and there is a surprise when the door opens... :)More
