My daughter has tried literally every ice cream shop in Lake George Village multiple times. We live here. So when she said Nina’s was the place to go with our friends visiting from out of town, of course we followed her recommendation. Boy was she right!
I don’t even like ice cream that much, but my eyes got wide at the gorgeous tubs of ice cream loaded with fillings. I have never seen such beautiful looking ice cream, all perfectly kept with not an ice crystal or melted part to be seen.
The young woman working behind the counter was friendly, patient, personable and really made the experience fun!

She gave us space when we needed it and was friendly, courteous and helpful the whole time with our large group.
Based on her recommendation I tried the coffee ice cream with Oreos. Wow. Huge pieces and whole Oreos throughout and you can really taste all the flavor of the ice cream instead of just sugar.

Patti's pride in her shop is evident in every detail. She remembered us, offered local recommendations, and provided a warm welcome. Don't miss the fudge—whether you're a fan or not, you need to try it. Everything from the cherry amaretto, caramel pretzel crunch to cannoli to the delicious custard and wide array of toppings, it’s all amazing. You can't...
Read moreWe got to meet the owner, Patty. During our three day stay at the lake, we came in here twice. On Sunday we got to the store a little past 11pm when she was supposed to close and still took the time to speak to us and serve us. The hot chocolate was the best. 👍🏻😊. The next day, we went into her store and got a hot brownie, with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. She took the time to get to know who we were and we got to know who she was. She remembered our faces as soon as we walked in. We sat down and got to know a little about Lake George. We will deed be coming back to lake George. She treated us very delightedly. She’s awesome. You have to go to her...
