Corner ice cream is a local favorite. They serve hard and soft ice cream as well as food like cheese fries, foot long hot dogs and even clam rolls! Lots of parking and outdoor seating. They also have seasonal flavors, like pumpkin for fall. My favorite thing- they have old fashioned donuts filled with soft serve and your choice of toppings, you don't see that at any other ice cream shop!! Epic! read more

Very nice neighborhood mom and pop ice cream stand. They have a small selection of soft serve but a pretty decent size list of Perry's ice cream which lately they seem to be adding more too. In addition to ice cream, they also serve food. Typical fried food options anda variety of sandwiches and wraps. read more

Absolutely fantastic orange sherbet ice cream/Creamsicle twist! Food always good as well.

The ice cream is extremely good but a little too expensive for what you get. For 3 small ice creams and a banana split it was 25 dollars. Also, due to us being in a pandemic and you have to call ahead to order your food and they bring it to your car. I think they should have a menu posted. I had to basically come up w an idea of what I wanted before I got there. That's why I gave them 4 stars. read more

Corner Ice Cream Store - Calling ahead to practice social distancing. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Schenectady, New York

This seasonal takeout restaurant (actually in Guilderland) is a great place to stop for ice cream and drive-in food. When riding between Guilderland and Schenectady during the warmer months, I have to make a pitstop at the Corner Ice Cream Store, which is located at the north end of the Carman Plaza. This place is busy each time I've stopped here. There's outside takeout windows and an indoor counter. There's also outside picnic table seating nearby and a few seats inside to cool off. The Corner Ice Cream Store offers a good variety of ice cream treats including soft serve, Perry's hard Ice Cream (26 flavors) in cones & dishes, waffle cones, dips, sundaes, banana splits, IttiBitz, ice cream bars, popsicles, sno kones, ice cream sandwiches, shakes, Boston shakes, malts, floats, ice cream sodas, and take home ice cream (pt & qt) & ice cream cakes (48 hour notice). The food menu offers burgers, hot dogs, wraps, subs, fish frys (all white fish), fried seafood, chicken, sides, appetizers, and cold drinks. The prices are reasonable too! A small soft serve cone is $2 with tax. The original and now current owner used to own Frank's Ice Cream in Loudonville, now Tracy's Tastee Treat which has a similar menu with Perry's Ice Cream, drive-in food, Eggplant Fries, and more. I especially enjoy their Reeses Pieces Deluxe sundaes, Corn Dogs, Michigan Fries, and Coffee Ice Cream Shakes, great summertime fare! Over the years, I would give this place 4 stars. However on my last recent visit, the Pistachio Soft Serve had a whipped texture instead of the dense, meaning air was probably pumped into the soft serve ice cream. NOTE: No debit or charge cards accepted. read more

I'm no sales person but man I can't imagine it really gets any better than corner ice cream. The options are endless with both savory and sweet choices but to me it's all about the soft serve. The small is ginormous, is very light and creamy and...just thinking about it now makes me want to go! It's such a treat when we are in Albany and seems almost like tradition to go during the warm weather months when they are open. read more

Corner Ice Cream Store - Medium soft serve @ Corner Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Schenectady, New York

We normally only get ice cream here, but we decided to check out the full menu. They have some great appetizers, sandwiches and more. I was happy to see an eggplant parm sub, since I am a vegetarian. Good food, prepared quickly. I ordered online and when we arrived, we called to let them know we had arrived. They bring the food right to you/your car. We will be back! read more

We love this place. I used to live right down the road from it which, trust me, was to my detriment!! I love all of the options and even have choices for those watching their weight or that cannot have dairy or other dietary issues. The customer service is always fast and friendly! Love Corner Ice Cream, and I think they are now open for the season! read more

The ice cream was good. Biggest disappoint was the brownie sundae. It came with 4 scoops of ice cream of your choice in a cup, so they were all stacked on top of each other and the brownies were only on the top of the cup. Definitely not like the picture! The orange creamsicle was the best. read more

My family and friends visit many times during the season. They have some great food and ice cream. Today was an exception. I ordered a fish fry, no roll to go $8.00. Immediately, the odor was very strong. Now my car and home are overwheming fish smell. There was crusty breading but very little fish. I tossed it out. I know you can do lots better. read more

I've been eating at Corner Ice Cream since they were actually on the corner of 20 and Carman. The fried food is never greasy, the fish fry is always fresh. My kids love the shakes , nice and tall and thick. I have to say, they have got this curbside pickup down pat! Online ordering makes it so easy and fast. We're so glad they reopened, we were definitely going to miss them if they closed! read more

so i usually love corner ice cream, but today i got a peanut butter candy at the bottom of my ice cream that i didnt know was there. and im ALLERGIC to peanuts. so yea two stars from me read more

$5.16 for a medium size soft serve cone. Really? I received more ice cream with a better selection at Guptils. I will drive the extra 10 minutes to enjoy their generous portions and reasonable prices....skip this place it's a ripoff. read more

The ice cream is really good! And there are a lot of choices. My own quibble is that for a place with so many options, there are not enough options for waffle cones. Getting a waffle cone is, for me, one of the best parts of going out for ice cream as opposed to making a sundae at home. Not only did they not have my favorite extravagance (chocolate dipped with rainbow sprinkles), their waffle cones are too thin for my liking. That being said, my husband loved his waffle cone, so it all depends on your tastes. I prefer our regular spot over this place, but I am sure my husband and I will compromise and return here too - the ice cream really is good! read more

I've taken my kids here for years, and the entire family loves this place. The prices are fair, and unless you get there when it's super-busy, there's usually plenty of seating, though occasionally, you'll get a somewhat sticky table. They're cash-only, but they've got an ATM inside. The employees are all high school kids, and the service is always friendly, enough so that I never feel bad about throwing my change in the tip jar / college fund. Recently, they've expanded their soft ice cream offerings. I'm a huge fan of soft black raspberry. Always in a gigantic waffle cone. They've also got strawberry and coffee, as well as the traditional chocolate, orange sherbet, and vanilla. Get that hard ice cream out of here!!! read more
