8 Best Ice Cream Shops in Albany

“Best authentic Mexican food in town. Also the only place that does chilaquiles in town. The portions are huge and the food is very flavorful. It has a sit down area inside with a quiet atmosphere but i usually do to go. It also has lots of yummy deserts/drinks.“

“I don't visit Crumbl as often as I did in the past, but I've always had a pleasant experience visiting this location. The staff is always friendly and super helpful. The cookies are delicious, and I love that they offer something new on a weekly basis. Some cookies are better than others, but they usually have something fun to try when we place an order. This location shares a parking lot with multiple other businesses. It can be a challenge driving around/parking in that parking lot. Overall, I'd recommend this location.“

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

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

“Food is fast food, the burgers taste good, has nice sauce and good buns, the fries seem like cheap freezer fries but not necessarily bad. The milkshakes are great. Definitely recommend you come here over the big box corporations like McDonald's and burger King and because they are a small local company I think they get a pass on the higher prices but they are higher.“

“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.“

“Been there for almost 40 years (maybe even longer). Remember going there on a cold Christmas Eve for soft serve ice cream as a young child in the 80s. Fast forward to 2024, the food and ice cream are still delicious as it was in the 80s
Ordered the King Kong burger - all I can is yummy!!
A must visit if you want good burgers and soft serve ice cream. A favorite of the locals. Drive thru was busy the entire time I was there. Note it's cash only!“

“Do not go if you are in a hurry. Good food (lamb gyros) would have been a better rating if other carts we went to get were open at the food court.

Parking: Hard to use handicap parking as others were blocking the marked no parking spot so we could not unload from the side mount wheelchair van.

Wheelchair accessibility: All the ordering counters seemed very high.“
