Not a huge fan of ice cream myself, but the rest of my family is addicted to high-quality frozen delicacies! My son works in a gourmet ice-cream shop and my husband has never met ice cream or frozen custard he doesn't like. My daughter loved the chocolate! We went to the shop every time we drove from our campsite into... More

the wood fired pizza is very tasty. It's fun to sit on the deck above and look at the lake or the people passing by.

We love the hot dogs and frozen custard, and eating on the rooftop with a view of the east harbor is a special treat. Prices are OK, what you'd expect in a tourist town.

The frozen custard at Sydney's is really the best I've ever had. I always get a hot fudge sundae, covered with their homemade hot fudge sauce and nuts (your choice: cashews, walnuts, peanuts etc); hubby prefers the cones, and they also have tsunamis (their version of a Blizzard, I guess, but WAY better) and other concoctions for you to try....

This place is an absolute MUST. The pizza is SO GOOD. Great, FRESH toppings. The basil is FRESH from the owners fathers garden (I was there when he delivered it). The apple-Gorgonzola pizza is to die for. And for desert? Frozen custard of course! They make their own got fudge FROM SCRATCH, not even doctored up. It's amazing. These guys... More

What a great place. The owners / employees are very nice and friendly, even serving us a much needed pitcher cold water before they were open. This is much more than custard, with Gyros, hot dogs, sandwiches, and wood fired pizza (they've built a quasi-outdoor pizza oven). While I was there the owner's father showed up with a large bunch...

The custard is great. The pizza is good but made even better by the roof top dining overlooking the lake. On a sunny day this is a prime rest stop.

The nice girl turned the grill back on for me to make me a really good gyro three minutes before closing time last night. It did not seem to come from a real gyro spit, but the flavor was genuine.

Great selection of fro zen treats, coffees and snacks. We had custard. It is a little pricey as everything in touristy towns seems to be. We sat outside and people watched while we ate.

...but food is lovely (especially the "sydnami" desserts) and they have a perfect little rooftop area for relaxing and looking out on the lake...
