10 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mechanicville

“This restaurant is a nice, friendly local restaurant with great employees. The food is amazing and plenty of different type of food. I recommend the place if you want a nice close place. They also serve soft serve ice cream and hard ice cream! 5/5 stars for sure. Tara is the best waitress and deserves a raise as she is very friendly and makes sure you are taken care of“

“Delicious, quick, and satisfying.When there’s a line, it’s a good sign. Snowman had one stretching to the sidewalk and while the wait was not long I quickly understood the reasons one existed. First, they’ve got a ton of fun flavors to choose from and then a whole bunch of ways to mix, match, dip, and stack ‘em! Second, it’s a creamy delight of wonderfulness that meets your mouth in every bite!Yummy!!“

“The staff at this place are the most friendliest and genuinely nicest people I know. Sarah is the BEST of all! They are amazing to my family and my kids love being there. Their staff deserves a raise, they are the reason why we go there all the time. They make it extremely welcoming.“

“After a long swim in the Colonie pool, stopped for a banana split with 3 different kinds of soft ice cream, including raspberry which was the best by far! The staff was very accommodating & it was enjoyable & relaxing watching the planes pass overhead while having a delicious treat. After we had a few minutes of fun on the go carts ?Last year we had stopped by for mini golf +tried ice cream served on a tub of cotton candy ?“

“Surprised with all the homemade ice cream flavors and vegan options. Not many ice-cream places have this amount of variety. I tried the peach cobbler ice cream and my husband had the vanilla soft serve. Both delicious. Golfed afterwards which is probably my favorite thing about this place. Not only can you get ice cream but also do a fun activity with the kids. Not outrageous golf pricing either, $10 adults, little less for kids. Will definitely bring my children here when they are old enough to know the rules of the game. Very fun but can imagine how backed up it could get on the weekends. Weekday nights are probably the best time.“

“So, I am a big fan of Chrissy’s. Been going there for years. Good food. Also, I know inflation is sky high now. But we paid $9.71 for 4 chicken tenders. 10 dollars for a wrap that was about 4 bites on each side (cut in half). 9 bucks for a quesadilla. It’s just a bit much. I just can’t do it anymore when I can do cheaper elsewhere. I am sorry Chrissy’s. That’s why I gave 4 stars.Other than that, their food and ice cream is good. I usually get the Buffalo chicken wrap and I think their chicken tenders are very good. I also got an Italian ice and whoa boy it was good, but it’s like frozen sugar lol. Twas hard falling asleep that night.“

“It's been overdue for me to rate this place, honestly! The frozen yogurt quality and options are wonderful, and the quality of the toppings are always great. It's so nice to be able to get fruit topping that's actually fresh and not either mushy or heavily preserved in a sauce.Bonus points for having airy whipped cream and not cool whip. Nothing against cool whip, but I don't really care for the texture of it on my soft serve or my yogurt.The only thing I recommend is checking the hours before you stop over. I have had times where I try to stop in after dinner only to find they're closed. They aren't a late night location, and you may be tight on time to stop over for a post-meal dessert. Summer hours are a tiny bit later if I recall, so you may have better luck with a night time dessert pit stop in the June-August months.But all the same, I recommend the stop. The price is great (it's by your bowl's weight, so it's ultimately up to you), the food quality is lovely, and it's a nice, calm atmosphere and a very clean store.“

“We love Country Drive-In, especially their chicken speedie sandwiches and delicious French fries. Staff is always pleasant and food is consistently good. Love that if we have been out working in the yard we can just clean up a little drive there when hungry. People pop over from pools with cover ups over swim suits in the heat of the summer. Just a really casual place to grab a bite and/or some ice cream. Little kids (just watch them by the busy road) and well behaved dogs are always welcome. Try it!Kid-friendliness: Yes, bring the kids but by a busy road so keep an eye on them.“

“What an amazing place! Had a sweet tooth and did a quick google search to find this place near our Air BNB. Ice cream was outstanding with a super friendly service. Shop is adorable with all sorts of gifts and additional sweet treats like fudge, bourbon candies and coffee. Highly recommended!!!“

“They have a HUGE and somewhat overwhelming menu which I always intend to try something new and really don’t. ? The coffee Oreo chip hard ice cream with peanut butter sauce is a go-to for me. It’s fantastic. Their size small is enormous no matter if cone or dish. You might lose your cone on a hot day if you opt for a medium or larger because it’ll be bigger than your head! It’s always clean, staff is always friendly and it’s cash only. They do have an ATM ready for you if you need it. A summer favorite and they’re still open through the fall too. Enjoy!! ???“
