Thurgood Creamery — Restaurant in Syracuse

Pretty great ice cream in general but a few misses. We purchased the flight 6 and tried 5 flavors. The Heifer's Revenge (chocolate brownie) was AMAZING. I will definitely be back for that flavor, the chocolate was so amazing in that flavor. If you have ever had Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Brownie, it reminded me of that which is high praise from me because I've never been able to find another chocolate ice cream that comes close to Ben and Jerry's darker chocolate base. The apple pie flavor was also amazing and really great!! The cinnamon in it was super tasty! The raspberry cheesecake was a miss for us (one in the middle of the photo)... There was virtually no raspberry in it which was super disappointing. The blueberry lemon made with coconut milk was a great option for those who don't do dairy and we liked that one. I also got Rocky road which is a tried and true one generally for me but this one didn't really do it for me. It was made with sliced almonds instead of almond chunks or roasted almonds so the almond crunch wasn't there and the sliced almonds were almost soft and threw off the texture in my opinion. Wouldn't personally recommend that one. All around, great place, we will likely be back! The employees working were doing a fantastic job and very friendly and helpful!! 5 stars to them for sure. The girl who helped us was so kind to my toddler, which I...

I wish I could give this more like 4.5 stars. We have been a few times and the other times were 5 star experiences, but our visit last night was slightly less. One of my kids asked for 2 different flavors and only received one (thought the second was just covered and didn’t notice until eating all of the top flavor since it was in a cone. We paid for 2 scoops, but unsure if they just gave him 2 scoops of one flavor or missed the other scoop) and the honeycomb (usually my favorite tied with butter cake that was out that night), was not mixed well and I ended up with 2 full mouthfuls of straight honey. That was never happened before, but definitely not very appetizing and would make me hesitant to order again to not repeat the same experience. Hopefully owners will see this and be able to make a couple changes. Otherwise, our experiences have been great. The sample of cookie batter I tried was very delicious as well. Another favorite of ours is honey lavender, which is a seasonal one, so we hope to see that again soon! Their workers are always kind and patient. Only other thing out of their control is not much seating, so if you have a larger group you may just need to plan to take icecream home. Overall, I am so glad to have a yummy icecream...
