I Scream

See Gone, But Not Forgotten.

I Scream was making itself known as a neighborhood ice cream shop. Located on Mount Hope Avenue. There are several specialties such as hand-crafted hot fudge ... ask about more. The decor inside has a handful of "old-timey" gems, including an old coke bottle vending machine and other soda ads from decades past.

Be sure to check it out on "Kids Pay their Age" Mondays (12 and under). One day a year in the summer time prices drop to that of a 1950's soda shop - get a cone for just a quarter! Shakes for 89 cents! Quality and atmosphere are prided over quantity.

The decor is totally old school ice cream parlor, the prices are good (especially when he does that "old days" pricing), sundaes are so good, and the owner is really fun to chat with while he makes up your order. We discovered I Scream by accident and now I refuse to go to Abbott's or Friendly's. —KatrinaFromRochester

One drawback is the limited selection available, since it's freshly made. You get quality, but sacrifice variety. —JonPetruccelli

It took us 10 minutes just to decide what to get - it all sounds so amazing! 30 milkshake flavors...better get yourself a frequent buyers card. —WillChesebro
