Was looking for something sweet after dinner and wandered into Maxwell's. Ice-cream was delicious but would have appreciated a few more flavors. Nice candy selection as well.

Quaint little ice cream and chocolate shop in the college town of Hamilton, NY. Service was great and ice cream was delicious! I recommend the pumpkin praline while it's available in the fall! Great local shop to visit.

Good old fashioned ice cream and candy shop.Brings back memories of yesterday when life was slower. Personalized friendly service.

Great store! Great chocolate! Unique candy gifts. The BEST egg cream sodas! You must stop by for a real treat! You will leave with a smile on your face.
