Food is always fresh and soups are excellent. It's a bit pricey (esp gift shop) but owners are very friendly and MOST of the time food is very good. Service can be slow but it's usually worth the wait.

This is the place that I go to just to be happy. The food is always yummy. The desserts are always awesome. The people are always friendly. I try to take any visitors I get up there at least once.

Coming from a riding stable - we stopped because we were starved. Thought about a quick ice cream but then noticed the sandwhich menu and pigged out. Great sandwhich selection, great quality and even an ice cream treat for when we finished. If your near Loon/Brant Lake or in Chestertown, you gotta stop in.

Let's start with the location, The 19th Century High School and later the Town Hall Building. It's up on a short rise above Main Street giving it a picturesque look from the street. However, you pass it by at your peril, because inside reside some of the best food, deserts and gifts in the Adirondacks. A strange combination, you say?... More

Perfect for what it is--a local ice cream parlor with lots of treats, great sandwiches and dinners during the summer. Really friendly owners and staff. A mile from the Northway and well worth the detour.

We always have great food here! We love everything...salads, soups and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and service is usually pretty quick. The kids can shop in the little toy area while waiting, there is a "penny" candy area and they have ice cream cakes to go!

Aside from the quaint old fashioned ice cream parlor atmosphere, this place offers some awesome food. The menu has a list of gourmet sandwiches, fantastic salads and delicious homemade soups. Although my husband always manages some kind of ice cream dessert, I never have room. This is one of our favorite lunch spots around.
