Sawyer Ice Cream Company — Restaurant in Town of Saugerties

We have been touring some of the area's icee cream stands. This time it was Sawyer Ice Cream Company. This is a newer Ice Cream stand that replaced a long time car wash. People may miss the car wash, but gained an ice cream stand. It was quiet when we were there. So there was no waiting to be served. I ordered a Sawyer Swirl, which is like a Dairy Queen Blizzard. This has been my common frame of reference. It's been this treat with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter cups mixed in at each ice cream stand. I am happy to say it was quite good. As I told the wife, I would not make a special trip to bypass one place for the other. The three places we have been in the last week made this treat, with some different names. All of them had good ice cream. All of them were made slightly different. The Sawyer swirl was mixed well, with some extra on top. The down side is that Sawyer was $1 more for the same size treat. This was not a deal breaker, but it was noticeable. There was a decent amount of parking on a nice newly paved parking area. They had four or five tables under the awning in front to sit and enjoy your treat. All in all, Sawyer Ice Cream Company was a nice addition to Saugerties. My ice cream was good. Maybe not the cheapest, but still good. As such, I...

Sawyer’s is our favorite place for soft serve on this side of the river! It is as good at Holy Cow which is … like, basically impossible. We have gone several times, and the milkshakes, hard ice-cream, and soft serve have always been delicious and really consistent both in quality and in taste.

Also, we found out they just started offering little soft serve cups for your little doggy, ours was in heaven! I’m glad they added it because each time we have gone she tags along in the car and always tries (and does not succeed) to swipe a lick or two, and gets a little sassy when she realized our ice cream was not for her.

You really saved us from ending up back in the doghouse, she really can hold a grudge sometimes.

I think being able to have her first ever soft serve was a core memory forming moment for her, haha. Anyway, definitely try here. It’s great!

P.S. They need a website so badly! I’ve been waiting since day one, and Facebook is not the best or most accessible way for patrons to access more detailed info about the menu items, hard flavors available, etc.

P.P.S Miso wouldn’t be terribly mad if you ever wanted to give her a little limelight and use these pics for any posts you may make in...

This review comes with a story. Last night, I was that annoying customer. I called Sawyer’s Ice Cream co. around 8something at night and begged the question, “Are you still open?” and even though the employee on the other end of the phone said that they were closing up because it was slow, I said “please, what if I come right now? I can get there in five minutes! But be honest if you’ll be mad at me!” and then the generous voice replied, “Sure, give me your order now and I’ll have it ready.”

Reader, I RACED over there (doing the speed limit of course) for my ice cream—the only thing I needed to get me through a bad day—and it was literally the best thing I ever tasted. Margie (did I spell that right?), the ice cream expert, made me the most delicious extra hot fudge extra oreo sundae that I have literally ever had. She even did it in layers so I had oreos and fudge in each bite. I love Sawyer’s and I love Margie! I would have given her a $100 tip if I could.

Also thank god this place is open...
