Zem`s Ice Cream & Mini Golf in Canastota

Very nice place not only to get icecream but to play mini golf

Great ice cream from a family run local business. They also have gluten free and lactose free (Dole Whip) options available. Great place to bring the family, get good ice cream, and even play a round miniature golf If you would like. 😊

Great but not greater than Nicky Doodles!

Best soft serve in NY.

This is were most of the people from Canastota stop during the summer. It's very family friendly. When I was there a woman and her young daughter where walking with two small puppies was so cute. The ice cream is about the same as everywhere else. They have a lot of different sunday's and covered cones, and of course dips. I would recommend for a family outing to get cooled off this is the place.

Friendly and tasty, nice folks

Your not going to find a better place to get ice cream in canastota.

This place has best ice cream, sweet counter ladies that are very helpful and the owner is the best. Always feel like family after a visit to best ice cream around.

Absolutely hands down the best place in town to take the family for a frozen treat!

this is the best local ice cream place around. Whether it's raining or sunny, there is plenty of places to sit and the ice cream and service is always amazing. This is definitely our favorite place to go in the summer with our kids.

Delicious ice cream!! Affordable! And the staff is wonderful!

Great spot!

I'm not from anywhere near here. I checked out the overly positive reviews of this place while I was in town and I concur. Great ice cream prices and huge ice cream selections. Very friendly. No credit card or debit cards so cash only with ATM machine inside.

Great family-owned, ran and oriented place. Rick does a lot for the community and has the best ice cream in the central New York area. Never too busy to serve you in a timely fashion, always somewhere to park, and most days throughout the season there is other events happening here. It not always about the ice cream.9months later, the seasons open again. And as always Rick has upgraded, and expanded. Giving more to offer to the community.

I had the ice cream! The caboose is interesting. :)

Love the game room! It's fun for the whole family. The music is nice as well, but the real reason for 5 stars, is the service and ice cream! Just make sure to have cash before you arrive..They don't accept credit cards

EXCELLENT!!! Since moving here it's the only place we go for ice cream.

Fun place. Good soft serve ice cream

Excellent ice cream for many years! I love the positive messages that are written all over, some days it's just what you need along with an ice cream cone.

Our annual after 1st hike of the season ice cream..We wouldn't have the greatest seasonal tradition without Zem's. Thank you Zem's for being there for us; you always now how to make us smile

Very friendly makes suggestions on ice cream. Tjey jave a mino golf course and games and penny candy 1 lb for $1.49 assorted

Pineapple ice cream is awesome and it is gluten free as well as lactose free

Wonderful experience! What can being a family closer together than ice cream!

I met friends at Zems to chat and have ice cream. We brought chairs and sat in the shade. The owner Rick brought us ice water. Very nice since it was 93 in the shade.

Best ice cream and best prices! We drive over from Chittenango! They also have mini golf, live music nights and cook out style food on some weekend!

The owner was very nice to stay open a little longer as we got there just as they were closing. So they stayed 30mins longer. He was very nice even came out to talk to us for a little bit. I just want to say Thank you. I definitely recommend zems for ice cream.

Delicious ice cream, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Lots of flavors and a good price.

Fantastic ice cream dishes!

The really need to start taking credit cards... It's 2019! Other than that, amazingly good ice cream.

Used to visit frequently during ice cream season when I lived in Canastota. Moved away several years ago. Stopped in today as I happened to be driving through the area. Kids loved to see the big caboose on the lawn and the ice cream is just as good as always. Sundaes are excellent. Only 4 stars instead of 5, though, because it's 2018 and they don't accept credit cards. I don't like to carry much cash on me since everyone takes plastic these days... so I was directed to the ATM inside. Wound up paying a $2.50 fee for their ATM on top of my bank's own fee for using an outside ATM, all for $11 worth of ice cream. I run a business myself, I know the credit card merchant fee on $11 (if credit was accepted via PayPal or Square) would have been 64 cents. Why not just take credit? No biggie though, next time I happen to be passing through and considering a stop at Zems, I'll just have to make sure I have cash beforehand.

Great place...many ice cream flavors..candy store..and mini golf. Caboose is a nice visit for little ones.

Our family of four played mini golf and in the arcade yesterday dodging the rain.The mini golf was fun but very run down. Good fun anyway

I could eat hear everyday but my pants wouldn't fit anymore, great flavors and options, great service beautiful setup and decor good for children.

Once again great service and a great product. The only place in Canastota where you see the owner out washing tables and talking to all the customers, making them feel welcome.

Amazing place fun for all of the family and best ice cream around

Dole Whip and lactose free vanilla twist!
