11 Best Ice Cream Shops in Albany

“Fresh delicious waffle cones, amazing ice cream with creative flavors and a nice atmosphere, what more can you ask for?

The Pomegranate Molasses ice cream was exceptionally smooth and creamy yet punchy. Left us wanting more! The cookie dough was also delicious! We live over an hour away, but we'll be back soon.“

“Muy buen servicio todo muy deliciosos lo recomiendo al 💯“

“The woman was so friendly. Hoping to run into them again!“

“Thank you for staying open during all that has turned the year 2020 into! I appreciate the staff for always being positive and helpful.“

“I’ve always had the best experience at Crumbl! The cookies are always fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The service is super quick every time I go, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots — they never disappoint! 🍪💖“

“Ok, burger people this is old school, those of you that know you already know the burgers here are flat no lie good, big full of goodies on a soft bun, i have been in Albany for 35+ years when I want a nice burger thats worth every $$, I hit this spot. I remember the old man back in the day to the lady thats always been there at the window when I order. Its a real hole in the wall. See the pictures below. That is the Sir burger. Stop by and get yours. Leave mine alone. Oh wait its all gone.😁“

“Excellent ice cream! We’ve been to both locations, here in Albany and in Sisters.“

“Double J BBQ is hands down the best around! There is nothing on their menu that falls short of fantastic!“

“Hasty freez has been a staple since I was a child. I have always enjoyed their ice cream and over the years they have not changed their prices a ton. You can get a double cheese burger for under 6 bucks which is incredible in our world today. Unfortunately, I have to say that the girls working in the evening are absolutely terrible. The first time I tried to go at night I stood at the order window for at least ten min and the girls inside just pretended I wasn't there and wouldnt make eye contact. So I just left. And I went again last night. Again, the service was terrible and I had to wait at least 30 min for a shake and two corn dogs and by the time I got my food it was barely warm. If you go around lunch tho, the place is amazing. Also, they're now asking for tips before they serve your food which is ridiculous. Either tip or run the risk of it effecting your wait time or care towards your food. Terrible policy.“

“So very disappointed at SHORTSTOPS hamburger, shakes, and fries. Was made fresh drove to Hyak Park (5min drive) tots so piled with salt and the mass amount of grease left the food soggy and grossly over seasoned, notice the amounts of grease on the bag and every napkin soaked in grease, the tots containers soaked in grease , and the soggy squished buns. Went to get my money back because 2 meals $40.50 is outrageous when you cant even eat it. The thin gal with long pretty blonde hair rolled her eyes at me saying well they are greasy burgers. I said the shakes were great and my child was starving and ate the burger that was on top away from all the grease. I would be willing to pay for that but wanted a refund for everything else. So spent 40.50 got refunded in cash $15. Not fn cool. fyi 2 shakes and a double chz burger is $23 (still over priced for size and quality compared to lets say Hasty Freeze) Hire some decent cooks that can recognize they fuc@*d up. And do the right thing instead of still purposely screwing over customers and trying to gaslight folks that thats how burgers and tots are supposed to be. you should be ashamed of how your employees represent your establishment and what they are serving to the community. ZERO stars. first and last time I will spend money here.“

“I had a great experience the other evening, when I brought my kids. The staff was so kind. Especially Azalea, she went out of her way to make sure we felt welcomed. We got our order fast, and it absolutely hit the spot. Great value for ice cream in Albany. We will definitely be coming back.“
