It’s raining AGAIN!

So we thought a little good news on in order…

IT’S BACK!

Our famous Sponge Candy Ice Cream is returning to Lake Effect Ice Cream this Sunday!

Starting Sunday, you can grab a scoop at BOTH of our shops while supplies last. Rich, creamy ice cream loaded with crunchy sponge candy pieces a true Western New York favorite. If you can’t get into one of our shops, pints of sponge candy will also be available on DoorDash!

If you’ve been waiting for its return, now’s your chance. Stop in and treat yourself!

Available at both Lake Effect locations!

This Mother’s Day, at Lake Effect, we want to do something a little special for all the amazing moms out there.

Every mom who stops by on Mother’s Day will receive a small gift bag that includes a stone heart charm and a Lake Effect sticker.

Each heart is a different color, making every one unique… a small keepsake that will last forever and serve as a reminder of how appreciated you are.

We love moms at Lake Effect, and we look forward to celebrating you this weekend!
