After a day on the river, a hike in the woods, or an afternoon around Loudonville, ice cream is an easy plan to agree on. These are a few places to work into your trip, starting with our downtown favorite and a seasonal stop that combines summer food with a cold treat.
Stela’s Ice Cream Shoppe & Coffee House: Our First Stop for a Scoop
Stela’s comes first on our Mohican ice cream list. Located on West Main Street in downtown Loudonville, it is an easy stop to add to an afternoon of shopping or an evening out. The antique-inspired shop fits a leisurely downtown visit, and its combination of ice cream and coffee gives your group a little flexibility.
We like the idea of making Stela’s the final stop after dinner at Black Fork Bistro. Leave yourself a little room, wander along Main Street, and see which ice cream catches your eye. There is no need to turn dessert into a complicated plan.
Remember Stela’s the next morning, too. The same place that serves your afternoon treat is a local coffee hangout, so it can easily become a repeat stop during a weekend in town.
Dairylicious & More: Summer Food and Ice Cream
Dairylicious & More on South Market Street is another favorite, especially when you want a casual bite as well as ice cream. We love it for summer eats, when everyone is hungry and dessert is already part of the discussion.
That combination makes it a useful stop after time on the river or before heading back to your campsite or rental. You can make a meal of the visit or keep it simple and come for an ice cream treat. Either way, it fits the easy pace of a summer day in Mohican.
Plan around the season: Dairylicious operates seasonally and closes for winter. Check its current posted hours before making the trip, and confirm kitchen hours if you are coming for food. Opening and closing dates can vary from year to year.
A Sweet Detour: Sunny Slope General Store
If you are exploring toward Big Prairie, Sunny Slope General Store offers another reason to stop: Velvet ice cream. The general store and deli sit alongside the winery, so an outing here can include a sandwich and a sweet finish.
Think of this as an addition to a countryside day. It is a good option to remember when your route takes you along State Route 39.
Make Room for a Treat
Start with Stela’s when you are in downtown Loudonville, keep Dairylicious in mind for the summer season, and consider Sunny Slope when you head into the surrounding countryside. Check current hours and offerings, then decide what to order.
