From our customers:

"I just had to e-mail you to let you know that for the last two consecutive nights I have had a bowl of your Lime Sorbet at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck. Oh my freakin’ gawd! We’re talking lime, limey, limey-est! As one staff member here said, “It’s all you need – except some water.” I’m a guy who puts English lime curd on his toast, I love lime so much. Dang, you’ve nailed the world’s best sorbet beyond a doubt. Yee-ha and Yippee! This is from someone who lives in Ben & Jerry’s land, but I’ll be on the constant lookout for Jane now. How now, Catskill cow? A new fan of your exquisite yummyness."

"As far as I’m concerned Jane’s ice Cream is the best in this part of NY state. Unfortunately, they closed their cafe, but the website has an up to date list of shops and restaurants that carry Jane’s. Killer chocolate is my weakness, but I haven’t found a flavor that wasn’t wonderful. Click on the where to buy link on the website. By the way, I’ve taken 2 friends, both of whom were indifferent to ice cream, to get Jane’s and both wanted to go back immediately!"

"I have been addicted to your products for several years, always having it at Lick, which is near our vacation home. My palate has decided that all others, including the top ice cream joints listed/voted in New Jersey Magazine, pale in comparison."

Ian Schorr, New York

"We are huge fans of Jane’s Ice Cream. Thank you for creating such wonderful flavors to entertain with. So far this summer I have made: Ice cream floats using raspberry lambic and vanilla (Memorial Day); Ginger milk shakes with a splash of Domaine De Canton (last Friday); and for my birthday (June 5th) small scoops of your delicious lavender ice cream turned champagne into a dessert I plan to make a tradition."

L. Schnable, New York

"I was lucky enough to have a good friend introduce me to Jane’s Ice Cream. All I can say is, “WOW.” The ice cream tastes fresh and the flavors are so fun. I am now officially addicted to Killer Chocolate."

"I’ve been eating ice cream at BooBoo and Lyle’s that just opened in Staten Island. It seems a strange thing to recommend, but your vanilla has got to be the best I’ve ever tasted."
