The Best Ice Cream and Dessert Spot In Newburgh, NY

Dulcia Caro

We absolutely love coming to Midnight Ferry! Whether we’re taking an evening stroll along the Newburgh waterfront or simply craving something sweet, this is always one of our favorite stops. Everything we’ve tried has been amazing! Our favorites are the Warm Brownie Sundae, Banana Split, Strawberry Fields Sundae, and ... the incredibly creative specialty milkshakes. Their homemade crepes are delicious too, especially if you’re sharing dessert. And if you’re 21+, you have to try their boozy ice cream creations and frozen cocktails—they’re such a fun and unique treat you won’t find just anywhere. The portions are generous, everything is beautifully presented, and the atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. We love grabbing our desserts and walking along the Hudson River afterward—it’s become one of our favorite family traditions. The only downside? They close during the winter! Every year we can’t wait for them to reopen because they’re truly one of our favorite dessert spots in the Hudson Valley. If you’re looking for a unique place to satisfy your sweet tooth in Newburgh, Midnight Ferry is an absolute must-visit. Every visit feels like a little celebration, and we always leave happy—and already planning what we’ll order next! Read More

Midnight Ferry is such a great spot on the Newburgh waterfront! It’s surrounded by excellent restaurants, making it the perfect place to grab dessert after dinner. The ice cream is delicious, and it’s so nice to grab a scoop and take a relaxing walk right along the Hudson River. Definitely a local gem for a night out ... by the water. Read More

Our girl was so nice and patient with us! We each tried three different flavors. I tried the tiramisu, chocolate brownie and the pistachio. Each was delicious!
