Guptill's Roller Skating Rink in Cohoes holds the title as the world's largest indoor rink of its…read morekind. It recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. I still haven't set foot in the rink. But I did finally stop by for some of the famous desserts/ ice cream. Service was great. The young man at the service window made a number of very helpful suggestions, especially after I mentioned that I've begun to show a bit of dairy sensitivity if I have ice cream late at night. So I tried the nondairy Dole pineapple whip in a cup. It was delicious. My friend had a double scoop of chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone. That was delicious, too. I tried some. There were many customers. Since Guptill's is widely considered a Capital Region institution, I'm slightly embarrassed that I haven't visited before. The ice cream stand is large and clean. The staff is young and courteous. I can't explain why I haven't been to the rink yet since I skate pretty well. Perhaps I've just been busy. Still, this was a good start. Hopefully, I will get around to doing some roller skating in the coming weeks. It might be a good way to beat the heat since Guptill's is air conditioned during the summer.

Amazing place I can't wait to come back to New York and go here again. They have a huge variety of…read moreice cream and shakes and anything you can think of. The only hard part about this place was trying to figure out what I wanted to get because there's so many things that it was kind of overwhelming because I wanted all of it lol but if you're around the area, definitely come here and enjoy Sunday or somewhat homemade ice cream or even a shake because we surely did

For decades I've driven past Kurver Kreme on Central Avenue in Colonie without stopping. It's…read morealways peaked my interest but I always made excuses. On a diet. In a hurry. Always something. The other night, the weather was warm. My friend and I were out for a drive. We pulled into Kurver Kreme. What a nice experience! The stand is well lit. There were dozens of vehicles in the large parking lot. It looked like a tailgate. Some customers were sitting in the back of their hatchbacks taking in the scene and enjoying the warm weather. There were no lines. Many customers were just hanging out after finishing their ice creams. Some were lost in conversation. Others were busy "people watching" as a wide variety of vehicles continued to pull into the parking lot. The stand looks to be mid-century and appropriately old R&B music and 60s Rock classics blared from the speaker system. Most of the ice cream is soft serve. I ordered a small chocolate in a cup. It was good. My friend ordered a pomegranate and mango Dole whip twist, which is sort of like sherbet. It was both pretty and tasty. Elaina was our server. She was friendly and helpful. She filled our orders quickly. We had a fun time. I'm glad we stopped.

Enjoy Troy, indeed!…read more An impromptu yelp reunion happened here last Thursday, and I was so happy to be out in Troy. What a busy Thursday, the streets were filled, patios full all around, and a beautiful clear night for some ice cream. It had been a while since I had been to Dutch Udder, and they have expanded but still offer the same great homemade ice cream. I went for a tropical pick - some beach. It was a fun flavor! I wish I got more ice cream to go. It is a little pricy at $5.75 for a kiddie size, but the quality is there to back it up. The expanded seating area was so cute! I loved the decor and cute seating. It was the perfect area to meet up with some friends for an hour. Every time I venture out to Troy, I love it a little more. Come get some ice cream!

I was glad to learn about this new Emack & Bolio's, particularly because this one is more…read moreconvenient to me than their Delaware Avenue location - plus getting a parking space is much easier. You won't see it if you come in from the west on Watervliet-Shaker Road; it's facing Route 9 in the smaller, front, building. This site is clean, bright, and accommodating, and if ice cream isn't enough, that assortment of truffles in the display case makes this place even more decadent. The ice cream is rich and dense, the flavors are a mix of traditional and fun. I got cups to go, and I like how they package them for you, with lids and a convenient bag with their logo for carrying them. But their ice cream also remains an occasional treat and not a frequent thing. Everyone has their own price point for ice cream, and getting dishes or cones of ice cream for a family would add up, compared to buying a half-gallon of some brand at a grocery store. Your mileage can and will vary on this. When I've traveled around the country, there have been particular ice cream stores/local chains at which I don't mind paying a bit more for a high quality ice cream. I'm glad to include Emack & Bolio's in that list, for me, it's worth it.

No real surprises here. This is exactly what you expect an ice cream store to look like - bright,…read morecolorful, and if your timing isn't perfect, really busy. Our timing WAS perfect. Only two customers in front of us with three staff working so, we were next to be served. In addition to the 19 ice cream flavors available the night we stopped in there were 4 yogurt flavors. Of course you can't have an ice cream shop without smoothies, sundaes, and ice cream cakes. They also sell coffee, tea, chai, and espresso drinks. Probably your second decision is going to be how you want your ice cream served - cone or bowl? The cones appear to all be waffle style, and they have a variety of dipped flavors. There is even a waffle shaped bowl available. We decided upon the more tradition paper cup. My wife had a single scoop of Chocolate Addiction ($5.50) which included chocolate chips and fudge chunks. I tried two scoops ($7.50) combining Blueberry Crumble with Salted Caramel Ooey Gooey Cake. All three were very good with the salted caramel our favorite and blueberry crumble a close second. There was also a display case filled with what looked like chocolate candies or treats. I couldn't see a price anywhere. Some of the labels were, dark or milk chocolate graham crackers; milk chocolate turtles; milk chocolate Oreos; key lime; gooey brownie; cherry bomb; and peanut butter. By the time we finished eating our ice cream at one of the tables inside, a long line of customers had developed. Kudos for having spoons strong enough to withstand the very hard texture of their ice cream. Maybe we should try buying a pint next time and give it a chance to soften up by driving it home and eating there.

Be aware this spot is cash only and the nearest atm is down the street at Stewart's!…read more The ice cream is great! I ordered the peanut butter Sunday and will admit there was just too much. At one point all I could scoop out were toppings and it was just too rich for me. However, the ice cream, when I did get a scoop of it out was delicious! Just watch out those sundaes are huge! I def will be ordering something different next time I come. The parking lot is extremely spacious and the patio to eat on is nice. It did take a minute to get the ice cream but nothing too crazy. Happy with the experience!

Made the 35 minute trek to try their ice cream bubble waffle cones…read more   We ordered the taco bubble waffle with mint chip ice cream, Oreos, peppermint patties and chocolate sauce as well as the Bull Dogs bubble waffle cone, which had twist, peanut butter cups, M&M's, peanut butter chips, and chocolate and peanut butter sauces.   They were both drool worthy! The waffles tasted fresh and were soft and pillowy. If you're a fan of lots of toppings on your ice cream, this place will be your new favorite. The menu is full of creative options and if you're in the mood to create your own, the topping options are endless.   However, if you're like me and you consider yourself a hard ice cream connoisseur, you may be disappointed. For ice cream options there's chocolate, vanilla and twist soft serve as well as a handful of hard ice cream flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, coffee, mint chip and chocolate chip cookie dough.   The good news is that they had more hard ice cream flavors at the counter than they did on their website, so that leads me to believe they may be slowing adding new flavors.   And even though Berne is a drive for most of us, it's a nice ride especially in the summer and most likely the fall too.
