For a lot of Northwood students and faculty, Stewart’s Shops is a familiar stop, especially on weekends and after practice. It’s not something everyone does all the time, but it’s a popular option when students want a quick snack or cheap ice cream.
On weekends, Stewart’s is a common place for students to stop. After a nice walk through town, it is the cherry on top of the night to get some ice cream. Emma’s and Ben and Jerry’s are also great places to stop, but the lines can be long, especially on the weekends. They are also much more expensive. Ryan Demers ’27 says, “I go to Stewart’s more than the other ice cream spots; they are just too expensive.”

After hockey practice, some players will hurry to Stewart’s before the bus leaves, especially after a long or late practice. Grabbing chocolate milk, pizza, or a quick snack can be a nice treat, especially during the winter. Parker Thompson ’26 said, “I love some Stews chocolate milk after practice.”
One of the biggest reasons students keep going back is Stewart’s ice cream. It’s affordable, there are many options, and it’s something almost everyone agrees on. The store is also easy to get to, which makes it a convenient stop.
Overall, Stewart’s is a staple for the Adirondacks and is loved by many. They have everything you need at affordable prices. Next time you drive by Stewart’s, take a stop in and grab a quick bite. It may be your new favorite spot.
