Mercer's Dairy

"We have tried hundreds of ice cream places all over the state and Mercers is by far our number one favorite. We will go for a drive to just get Mercers. You can tell it’s homemade. Their vanilla and chocolate ice cream is the absolute best. There is no better!! They have many flavors, soft serve, wine ice cream, ice cream cakes and more. Also fresh waffle cones. You have to stop! Have been going for over 10+ years."

"Cool stop on a long trip! I had been looking for an ice cream place for the past hour. A scoop of chocolate almond, a scoop of caramel, and rainbow sprinkles. The texture wasn’t quite what I am used to for hard ice cream but it was yummy and made me happy to continue on the journey home."

"Wine ice cream is a unique concept. However, it is unique because wine and dairy don't mix. The flavor was so bad I had to throw it out. The regular flavors were not bad, there's just other ice cream shops I prefer in the area."

"I have such a great, memorable experience shopping here. I found this ice cream shop over a year ago when I was looking around on Google Maps. I was excited to try their wine Ice Cream which is very unique. I have visited almost 50 creamiest and ice cream shops in the East Coast, and wine Ice cream is very unique. This is the 2nd place that sell wine Ice cream. The Mercer's wine Ice cream is not creamy as I had expected. It is more like a creamy sorbet. I sampled 5 different flavors are of wine Ice cream and surprisingly, the ones I picked out before arriving were the ones I like most. For someone who doesn't drink much, almost rarely, I can taste the wine in the ice cream. I bought 10 pints of strawberry sparkling champagne, cherry Merlot, port wine, and peach White Zinfandel. I had a scoop of peach White Zinfandel while I was there. It was very light and I say to eat. It doesn't taste ice cream because it is not creamy. Not sure how much milk was used to make it. It reminded me of ice, sorbet, very light - less creamy ice cream. It was good. What impressed me during my visit was... My hotel is 30mins away and I forgot to pack ice before stopping by. Even this f I did bring ice, running around all day might have melted the ice before arriving at the ice cream shop anyway. The young ladies were so helpful. They didn't have ice nor dry ice. They offered the ice they can scrapped off the interior wall to f the freezer. I was really surprised and pleased by how they were willing to go above and beyond to help me out. They were also very patience. It was my first time there and they offered my sample of all the wine Ice cream they had available for sale by the scoop, all 5. I wish customer service is offered at the superior level everywhere. Thank you!!! Oh I didn't have a chance to try their regular ice cream. I already stopped at an ice cream place a couple of hours before coming here. I was so full! I might stop by tomorrow on my way back from Alexandria Bay if it is not too late when I return to the area."
