TRICK OR TREAT IS BACK!

Starting today, our infamously over-the-top fall favorite, Trick or Treat, is back at BOTH of our scoop shops!

If you’ve never tried it, picture this. You get home from trick-or-treating, dump your candy bag on the floor, and admire your haul. If you grew up in my generation, that bag was probably a dirty pillowcase that had already made two or three trips around the neighborhood that night.

Now imagine taking that entire pile of candy and turning it into ice cream.

That’s exactly what we did.

We loaded our Silver Cloud Vanilla ice cream with Heath bars, Snickers, Kit Kats, Twix bars, M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, and Nestlé Crunch bars.

Yep. ALL of that. In one ridiculously good ice cream flavor.

Halloween is still a few weeks away, but there’s no reason to wait to get your candy fix.

Come on down to either shop and get yourself a scoop of Trick or Treat!

See you soon!

To the people of the 716, THANK YOU!

Being voted Best Ice Cream means more to us than you know. We are incredibly grateful for every scoop, every visit, every family that walks through our doors, and everyone who continues to support our small business.

Lake Effect Ice Cream is lucky to call Western New York home, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and making us part of your lives.

Thank you!

BILLS GAME DAY!!

The wait is over, Bills Mafia! Can’t wait to see the boys back at it and ready to roll! Time to fire up the grill, crank up the Bills gear, and get LOUD!

Back to school is definitely a stressful time.

Getting used to new schedules, new routines, and all the changes that come with getting back into the swing of things can be a lot, both at school and at home.

Erik and I are both teachers, so we absolutely understand how stressful that changeover can be.

So Lake Effect is giving all students a little bonus. A little something to make an ice cream break from the stress a whole lot better.

THIS THURSDAY & FRIDAY, every student who comes into Lake Effect gets an EXTRA SCOOP added to any small cone!

Order a one-scoop cone? You get TWO SCOOPS!

Come take a break from the back-to-school craziness and let us make your day a little sweeter!

Take a photo and tag us with your free scoop!

We’re closing the Buffalo shop for the rest of the evening due to some street flooding on Hertel in front of the shop. Just wanted to let everybody know and we’ll be open again tomorrow.

Blueberry Buckle has arrived!

We took one of our favorite summer desserts and turned it into a scoop of ice cream. Our Blueberry Buckle starts with creamy blueberry ice cream made with sweet, local blueberries, then we add plenty of buttery cinnamon streusel crunch for that perfect homemade buckle flavor.

The flavor of sweet blueberries paired with crunchy and buttery cinnamon streusel makes this one taste just like a fresh blueberry buckle straight from the oven.

A true, sweet taste of summer.

See you soon,

Jason and Erik

Our INFAMOUS GIN & JUICE SHERBET is BACK at BOTH SHOPS!

You asked for it, you waited for it, and now it’s finally back! Our wildly popular Gin & Juice Sherbet has returned and is ready to make your day a whole lot more delicious.

This one has a serious cult following for a reason. It’s fruity, refreshing, packed with flavor, and one of those Lake Effect flavors that people remember long after the last scoop is gone.

So if Gin & Juice is one of your favorites, this is your chance to come get it. And if you’ve somehow never tried it before… what are you waiting for?!

BACK NOW at both Lake Effect Ice Cream shops.

Foshizzle!
