⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Sweet (and Boozy) Surprise in Varysburg – The Maplery Ice Cream
If you’re ever near Varysburg, NY—or taking a scenic drive near Letchworth State Park—The Maplery Ice Cream is absolutely worth the stop. It’s a cozy, locally owned spot that brings together two of my favorite things: rich maple flavor and a splash of fun in the form of alcoholic ice cream.
First off, the atmosphere is charming and welcoming. The staff was friendly, patient with questions, and clearly passionate about their craft. Everything is centered around Boxler maple syrup, which gives their ice cream a warm, authentic sweetness that sets it apart from typical ice cream shops.
Now, let’s talk about the alcoholic ice cream—easily the highlight of my visit. I tried a few flavors, and they were fantastic. The bourbon maple pecan was perfectly balanced—not overpowering, just enough kick to make it feel like a grown-up dessert. They serve them in regular cones or even flights (yes, like a beer flight but for boozy ice cream!), which is such a fun idea if you want to sample a few without committing to just one.
I also appreciated that they didn’t skimp on creativity—there were unique flavor combinations like rum-raisin maple and a creamy Irish cream swirl. Each one tasted smooth, not icy, and you could tell the quality of ingredients was high.
Pro tips: • Go for a flight if it’s your first time—totally worth it. • Pair it with a flavored waffle cone if you want to go all out. • Make it a stop on your way to or from Letchworth—it’s close and makes for the perfect treat after hiking.
In short, The Maplery is doing something special with their blend of local flavor and adult indulgence. Whether you’re a maple lover, an ice cream fanatic, or just curious about alcohol-infused desserts—this place is a hidden gem. I’ll...
