Small quaint establishment! Wouldn't recommend during busy periods as the wait will be long. I ordered the tiramisu milk shake and wasn't impressed. It tasted okay. My bf ordered the maple and raspberry soft serve and he loved it. The portions are huge and the prices fit the portion. The aesthetics of the store is cute and a bit vintage. I wouldn't visit again bc it wasn't remarkable.

100% worth it despite chilly, windy day with snow on the ground, town full of people attending the eclipse and a line that starts outside and doubled inside the small shop. Advantage of standing in line allows you to view many of the options available that people were ordering. Some of it honestly looks like delicious art work and I wanted to sample all of them.😋😄 In addition to ice cream they sell, slices of cheesecake, ice cream cakes, mochi, Whoopi pies and other items. There are also some novelty items and sweet treats for sale. Not ideal for disabled using transport devices. Parking is available on the street. Those serving were notably calm, unstressed and methodically gave each order individual attention. Don't think about the calories Be sure to stop in to satisfy your sweet tooth. You will be not be disappointed.

I liked the vibe and atmosphere! It felt like they've been around for long time and they were really fast to attend the waiting line!There was no tasting and majority of flavors were either mixed with chocolate chips or chocolate, the fruity flavors were limited. We ordered scoop of Raspberry roadrunner and Raspberry Dark Chocolate! It was decent but nothing too exciting.

There was a line of people waiting for the 1:00 pm opening time. The 2 staff members quickly and efficiently filled all the orders. The maple creme soft serve is divine. For a fun time, try to sit at one of the tables in the window and watch all the fabulous ice cream creations get delivered. It's joyful for each person.

Testy ice creams and great service, best ice cream in town! We walked in before watching the movie, the lady at register was so nice, telling a lot about town and coming event, we got two ice creams and a monkey tail. So GOOD, will come back next time to try more

This place was DELICIOUS. After having terrible food on the strip, this was definitely a delight. I got the black diamond (hot fudge and hot caramel sundae) with caramel toffee ice cream and it was absolutely superb. I finished the entire thing. My boyfriend had moose tracks in a waffle bowl and it was awesome as well!! Overall prices and atmosphere were great. If you're going, don't expect a place to sit because the place is super small, so plan to eat it outside. The staff were incredibly friendly. Great place!

One of the best ice creams I have ever had – super smooth and yummy! I loved the vibe. Although they don't offer tastings, the visits are definitely worthwhile. The waffle cone was also great. The place is small, so it's not ideal for sitting and dining. The only downside was the attitude of the lady who was serving – she was very rude, annoying, and seemed quite irritated, even to the extent of being racially insensitive. I'm not sure why, but her behavior really dampened our overall experience of the place.

WOW. This is a regular sundae! HUGE and delicious!! All for only $10.24!This’s their Maple Monkey sundae; maple soft serve, vanilla soft serve, local maple syrup, caramel, with fresh, hot monkey bread below! Fudge below that. So big it comes with a fork & spoon. Friendly advice; bring a friend (or two).Very friendly staff, really cool decor, LOTS of choices!

It was overpriced, and the staff was very curt. Nine dollars for a sundae that was swirled in a way to create a hollow center, and they had the nerve to toss a spoon at you if you wanted another dismissively. Wow. It's a crazy line for nothing special, up charging for hard ice cream when it's highly processed Hershey’s. They're one of the only games in town, so they get a considerable buffer, but I wouldn't say I liked it all.

It's an okay establishment, with decent homemade ice cream, however, the lack of an efficient system for ordering causes a bit of chaos and unnecessarily long lines.Update:Just visited during ski season and they change out their flavors to reflect a change in the seasons...well done and cheers!The long lines of summer are gone and you get to enjoy the experience...it’s worth a visit. Enjoy.

Stopped in with my wife for a cone. First time here. Didn't see much hard ice cream that looked good to me. Went with the chocolate moose bits. A nice lady there said it was the best and I'd love it. I told her we'll see what I think when I post this review. Turns out she was right. Five star ice cream and waffle cone. My wife had the sugar cone with brown butter bourbon ice cream and she loved it. We both went back the next day for another. If you are in Lake Placid you really should try Emma's.

Emma's came highly recommended by friends who have been to Lake Placid, and I was so happy to see that they had vegan options! The dole whip is vegan, and they had three flavours when we visited. We went with cherry and it was delicious!

We bought the edible cookie dough ice cream sandwich. It tasted like the store smelled. The shop had a strong scented candle smell, it was so strong that got into the food. It was bad, we could not eat the sandwich.

What a cool ice cream place. Me and some friends just stopped by here. They have an assortment of different ice creams and some candies and other goodies as well. Definitely glad I stopped by here. And the ice cream tasted great.

Hands down the best ice cream in the area. There are so many choices. I decided to get the Maple Monkey Sundae since the maple ice cream is something different. The sundae was wonderful.

OMG, this place is over the top amazing. Didn’t get a chance to try to boozy ice cream but will try for it on the next visit.

Really good ice cream, really rich though didn’t finish the whole cone. They don’t have smaller sizes which is a little less than ideal. There is almost always a long line up until 8:00 when the shop closes. Nothing to be upset about because the shop is always lit up and enjoyable to look at all the over-the-top decor.

Maple milkshake was so so good! It was creamy with the slightly sweet maple taste. Loved it. Also tried a passion fruit drink and a hot cocoa. My only complain is hot cocoa was not that hot. But it tasted great!They take only a limited number of people inside due to social distancing. But the line goes fast.

Very busy and popular ice cream shop. Line moved quickly though and when you get inside it feels like you’re a kid in a candy shop, so many options!! Moose tracks was super rich and creamy, so satisfying.

Sugar overload! This is a happy place! Hot chocolate drinks is Perfect for winter! They also sell tea and pastries!

The ice cream here is not made in-house and if it is, it is not stored properly as my ice cream had freezer burn from improper storage. They offered no sampling and the line for ordering needs to be better managed. Only after walking around did i discover many other options for dessert along the Main Street.

Ordered ice cream with a group. The older gentleman took our order and was quite rude. Not quite sure what was his problem but he was rude. He wasn’t very accommodating maybe he doesn’t like asian or whatever. He was nice with other people. I was quite offended actually. Worst experience so far on my vacation. Ice cream was good bur the experience isn’t.

Delicious ice cream with humongous servings ! The place was packed when we went, but they did their best to only allow a couple parties in at a time and the line moved fairly fast. Even in the winter people are lining down the sidewalk to enjoy ice cream from here ! If you're looking for an extra treat this oreo milkshake did not let me down!

The ice cream is fantastic. And the other options — shakes, sundaes, etc. — are amazing too. I gave four stars, not five, because the staff was surprisingly sour and gruff. Not rude, not nasty, just curt and not apparently happy to see customers, which is a little off-putting for a place that styles itself as an old-fashioned ice cream shop in a vacation destination. Still, overall, a great place.

We stopped at Emma's for a sweet treat (milkshakes and cookie dough). While the food was good the line was very long, they where out of many options (some flavors, crazy shakes and cannolis ) all of which are listed as featured items on their sign. After stopping once we decided it wasn't worth the wait to stop again.

Huge array of ice cream and ice cream based goodies. The ice cream is very good. But last time we went we decided to test out their claim to the best milkshakes in town. Unfortunately I find Stewart's milkshakes to be better and a lot cheaper. Emmas is made with soft serve and a lot of syrup. I bet they would've been much better had they used some of their own hard ice cream rather than soft serve. But Emma's hard ice cream is definitely delicious!
