I went to the Emack and Bolio’s in Albany NY and thought it was my favorite ice cream place I had ever been to, but this one is… quite different. It is very small and looks pretty bleak inside, with only one two-person table shoved against the wall. The service was pretty good, though. The man who gave my mom her ice cream got her the wrong flavor, but he told her as soon as he realized and seemed apologetic about it. Plus, he made up for it by giving us a free mochi donut!The biggest disappointment was the ice cream. The Albany location had what I thought was the best chocolate chip cookie dough ever, but the same flavor here was mediocre at best. It almost tasted freezer-burnt. I tried my sister’s smoothies, and while good, they were tarter than I would like. The mochi donuts were excellent, though.Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this location, and while it’s not a bad stop for a quick dessert, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.
Dietary restrictions: They have vegan ice cream available for a dollar extra.
Parking: There is a single row of parking spots in front of the storefront, and it was full when we got there on a dreary Sunday evening. We made a loop and came back, and luckily a spot had opened up, but I wouldn’t count on being able to park right at the store.

Awesome! Tasty! Mango donuts. Try a fresh baked donut. What a light fluffy and tasty flavor. Perfect snacks. Great for a date or to go.
Wonderful staff and super proud of there products.
Come down and check out the awesome ice cream flavors. So many yummy drinks. Check out the photos for details. Place is super clean and professional.

Half of flavors were sold out. Staff or owner weren’t aware of how to mix flavors with spoonadvised me to go to cold stone, so that’s where i took my business.

OMG!!! Firstly the Gentleman at the front was extremely friendly and helpful. He then let me try some of the products and i was sold. The donuts were warm, crispy, chewy and delicious. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful and the Milk tea was amazingly refreshing. If you want a sweet treat or just some light and refreshing I definitely recommend you stop by.

They’ve improved a lot since opening last year & made their display window & chalkboard enticing with all their new offerings. There’s a big variety of mochi donut flavours which I appreciate— Wishing it was easier for them to have all their listed flavours in stock at once, but you can’t have everything. Corn dogs are solid (and made with beef hotdogs! pleasing, since I don’t eat pork), but just not my thing. Didn’t enjoy the boba tea I had around when they first opened though, but I’ll assume it was an off day. Hoping they get one or two more seating options in there soon!

The place was quiet and clean when we walked in. We was welcomed with a smile. The Mochi donuts was not as great as the price listed for subpar donuts. My daughter also got the chocolate ice cream which wasnt so great because of the ice burn that was in it. Also, the guy that was at the counter i felt like was being a little too pushy with the sale. Like half a dozen mochi donuts and an over priced ice frozed cream wasnt enough.

The customer service inside the shop was exceptional and the ice cream is even better. Would highly recommend it.

Passed by the store several times in the last few weeks, the display window could use a little decoration to catch customers interest. Our family decided to give it a shot yesterday. Inside shop was clean and well organized. We had two different type of smoothies and three different type of ice creams . All were exceptionally delicious. Great customer service. Will be back for sure.
They just opened - got the passion fruit boba and it was delicious - Nan, the owner, personally made my tea - he claims to have the best tapioca - and he's right!!
