So I don't know about you, but I personally dig some good ice cream! Whether it's frozen custard or some old-fashioned hard ice cream, there's nothing better in my opinion. Ice cream is a universal happiness food and Rochester has no shortage of outstanding ice cream shops to try this *super hot* summer!

1) Lugia's Ice Cream

This amazing ice cream shop in Spencerport, NY serves up some of the best ice cream! For reference, their portions are HUGE.

2) Abbott's Frozen Custard

With locations throughout Rochester, NY this is a staple of the Rochester area! They have great frozen custard, along with other treats like chocolate covered bananas and ice cream cake!

3) Pittsford Farms Dairy

If you go to Fisher (or just live in the Rochester area), Pittsford Farms Dairy is a must-try! Their ice cream is homemade and generally speaking, to die for. While you're there, also try their fresh milk and baked goods!

4) The Ice Cream Factory

This small ice cream shop in Fairport, NY is fantastic! Their portions are huge and they always have plenty of options ranging from scooped ice cream, to frozen custard!

5) Bruster's Ice Cream

This one also has multiple locations in the Rochester, NY area and is usually found at local festivals! Their ice cream is made in-house and is definitely worth the drive! A personal favorite bit about Bruster's is that they offer a multitude of sugar-free and low calorie options!
