Cheshire Farms Creamery — Restaurant in City of Canandaigua

Updating my review from 3 years ago. 3 Stars as the ice cream is always good. Some may say the wait is worth it, but to others not. My husband and I got to Cheshire Creamery at 8:06pm on a Sunday evening. We left with our items to go at 8:46. There were 3 families that ordered ahead of us and 3 more that were waiting for their orders they already placed by the time we got there. Service is always consistently slow here. It may be the Creamery struggles with staffing as a lot of places are right now, however I can say from experience, service is always slow...even prior to Covid. Maybe it's a scheduling the right amount of people thing. I ordered a twist waffle cone with chocolate sprinkles. The twist initially came out with no sprinkles, so I asked and the woman who took the order didn't put it on the order. I verified with my husband that I did say chocolate sprinkles and he said yes, I did...any way after the clerk told me it wasn't on the order she put them on there anyway. This was nice. I was 3/4 done with my cone by the time my husband got his order of a brownie sundae made the way its on the menu, no special adds or substitutes. There were two men who also ordered brownie sundaes who were a few spots behind us in line. My husband received his sundae well after those two. No apology for the delay, no reason as to why his was given to him last and not in the order the orders are placed. I say make your own choice to go here. We have been plenty of times and the ice cream is so good. Service is lacking. I think they try. It's just not good.

3 years ago, 5 stars my review was: Always a great stop for a summer treat. Mostly crowded in the summer, but service is quick and the food is delicious. Atmosphere is nice. Always clean inside...

Cheshire farms creamery is a community bakery which also sells ice-cream coffee and other food items. Check out their fb page to get a complete menu. The inside of the restaurant is clean and with plenty of tables comfortable booths and seating to welcome you to sit and enjoy for awhile. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. I especially liked the large sliding barn doors. My partner and I stopped in for ice cream. I was especially interested in the vegan varieties the Creamery had to offer. But I ended up ordering a sugar free moose paw in a bowl. After placing an order at the front counter server will write down your name and will call you up to the counter to pick up the food order. My order placed was a small moose paw sugar free ice cream in a bowl. The ice-cream size was more like a medium sized ice cream. Generous portions. Large plentiful pieces of dark choclate was distrubuted throughout the portion. Ice cream was sweet and deliciously creamy to taste. I highly reccomend the sugar free Moose paws if you have dietary restrictions. Cheshire FARMS Creamery has other items throughout for sale. Be sure to check out...

I am on a mission to visit as many creameries as I can find on my trips. I recently visited Cheshire Farm Creamery while vacationing in Finger Lakes, and this creamery wasn't what I had expected. I thought they have their own free roam cows and their ice cream. Instead I drove up to a commercial building with a parking lot.

During my visit, I learned that they partner with companies to get their ice cream. They also sell a limited selection of baked items and food items. Their ice cream selection is seasonal, and they didn't have the Lilah's Irish Cream ice cream that I went there for. I was very disappointed. I ended up getting the Creme De Menthe, which is mint chocolate chip. It was yummy. I also got a slice of the quiche, which was very good, too.

This creamery has a very roomy dining room and the bathroom is very clean. After I got their, a tour bus arrived, and it got very busy quickly.

The employees are very friendly and polite. This is a great place for a snack and ice cream. Althought it wasn't what I initially expected, it is a great place to take a break at if you are on...
