Happy Clown Ice Cream and Bake Shop, LLC

My favorite ice cream in the Hudson Valley!! Super creamy soft serve with all the traditional toppings — nothing overly fancy or complicated, if you’re looking for weird or out of the box flavors there are plenty of other places you can go. I love that this place is no frills and focuses on QUALITY over novelty. This place is an absolute hidden gem 🥰

The soft serve is the best I've *ever* had; very smooth and creamy, and also very reasonably priced. This location was begging to be an ice cream shop- right next to the playground! Parking was easy, there's a small parking lot and plenty of on-street parking is available also. There's seating available inside in the air conditioning or there is a really nice outdoor seating area overlooking the playground. There are also views of the river right across the street. Overall it's a very picturesque location and a great way to make some childhood memories or catch up with friends. We'll definitely be back.

Very friendly and welcoming people! The ice cream was great. I also had a strawberry shortcake parfait that was AMAZING. Good prices as well. Worth the trip out!

during the winter they are serving breakfast sandwiches, pastries and $1.50 coffee!

I grew up having Happy Clown when it was in Bells Pond and was so excited to see they were coming to be almost literally next door to me. It was amazing then and remains amazing now. They have the absolute best icecream in the immediate, and surrounding area. I cannot recommend giving them a try enough. Super friendly people, very reasonable prices and great portions. I am so glad Happy Clown is back!!! I look forward to what other offerings are to come with the baked good.
