Netsins Ice Cream

Netsins Ice Cream is a seasonal ice cream parlor located at 290 Culver Parkway in the East Irondequoit area of Rochester, NY. Founded in July 1998 by two Irondequoit firefighters who grew up just blocks from the shop's location, the business has served the community for over 25 years. Netsins operates as a walk-up-style stand where customers order at an outside window, with the tagline "Where sweet memories are made." The shop caters to families, kids, and groups looking for a casual, neighborhood ice cream stop during the warmer months.

Netsins serves both soft custard and Perry's hard ice cream, with more than 75 flavor mix-ins available for soft serve creations. The menu also includes sundaes and milkshakes. Beyond the brick-and-mortar location, Netsins operates an ice cream truck — known as Netsins on Wheels — that can be booked for private parties, corporate events, and community gatherings throughout the Rochester area. The shop is a cash-only establishment, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Netsins has built its identity around being a neighborhood ice cream destination with deep local roots. The extensive selection of soft serve flavor combinations — drawing from a rack of 75-plus mix-in options — sets it apart from more typical scoop shops. Its origins as a venture started by two local firefighters who wanted to fill a gap in their own neighborhood gives the business a community-driven character that has persisted across more than two decades of seasonal operation.

The shop sits on Culver Parkway in the Winton-Culver area of East Irondequoit, just south of Empire Boulevard. Seating consists of outdoor picnic tables along with a small indoor area with a few tables. The surrounding neighborhood is residential and family-oriented, making Netsins a convenient stop for locals on summer evenings. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating area. Street parking is available along Culver Parkway near the shop.
