this pumpkin / vanilla soft serve twist is gourdgeous!
Katie A.

This year, you might find the cutest pumpkin in the patch on a Curry Freeze cone. Because I love getting soft served in October, I checked Facebook before committing to a post-brunch trip over here today, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Curry Freeze social team hard at work, as they recently made a post giving us coneheads the inside scoop about their final countdown: 10/24 people. That's the last day of the 2019 season (until then open daily, 11am - 9pm). With vanilla/pumpkin prominently displayed on the shrinking the menu board (but really, what other flavors do you need in October?), my order was a no brainer. I got a small twist on a cone (because I'm sustainable AF), and it only took one lick before started to feel like a true pump king. Or a hallow queen. Either way, it was the perfect treat for a mild mid-October day! In a sense, soft serve is really just melted ice cream, and Curry Freeze delivers on both flavor and texture. What could be a perfect storm of recipe, equipment, and TLC yields a twist that's exceptionally creamy (my mother claims it's the best vanilla soft serve around), and everything you want in the frozen purgatory that is soft serve ice cream. Whether you visit on a 90º or 60º day, the twist never compromises its integrity: it stands tall, is structurally sound, and stays thicc. I mean, is this soft serve #goals or what?! Completely inspiring. We might not deserve this summer-fall hybrid dessert, but what a time to be alive. The fact that even some of the best soft serve in the 518 has the opportunity to be basic and get it's pumpkin spice on is a win-win, so stop being seedy and get your harvest dessert on!

I come here because of this fresh & delicious waffle cone

We have tried quite a few of the local soft serve spots, but this one remains my favorite. Because I am now reviewing it in consideration of other spots too, I am bumping it up to five stars. My favorite thing about this spot is the chocolate dipped waffle cones with rainbow sprinkles. The cones are fresh, the dip extends a generous extent. It's straight up yum. Other places have waffle cones, but not with with chocolate dip or addition of rainbow sprinkles. They can't compete due to that alone because the waffle cone is such a complement to my go to ice cream choice, the soft serve twist. As for the ice cream, that's tasty too. The service is pretty quick, even with a long line, and it's friendly. There are also five picnic tables to sit at where you can enjoy your cone. And, everything is always clean. So: this is my favorite spot local to me.

Schenectady's best ice cream stand. Featuring mostly original mostly home-brewed hard and soft serve flavors, including such nice things as being able to get a twist of something other than chocolate and vanilla in the soft serve. The lines can back up a little during peak hours, and there's only five tables (one big) in the outdoor area, and your scenic view is of a dry cleaner across Curry Rd. Disappointment: no curry-flavored ice cream (for now, at least).

Curry Freeze is a childhood favorite of mine and since childhood we make a point to go there at least once a year even though we no longer live in the area. The ice cream is delicious and the serving sizes are comically huge. FIVE STARS!!

Its nice to see an "Ice Cream Stand" still standing. Great place to go on a hot summers night when you just want a nice cone.

It was late and cold, and the girls were in dresses. My daughter is newly gluten free and nervous to eat at a place that she has not eaten at before, so she got ice cream from Stewart's prior to going to the Grandstand. She entered the establishment with the ice cream and sat down inside with her friends while their moms ordered ice cream for themselves and the rest of the children, totaling 14 other people. A worker approached the young girls, telling them that they had to leave, which they did. As the worker was walking away, another parent of the group was walking up to the table and the worker never confronted that parent to explain what had just happened. The girls informed the parent of the situation. In addition to addresssing the young children, and not the parents, not only did the girls have to stand out in the cold, but the rest of the party had to as well. Meanwhile, one the mother's calmly and respectfully stated her understanding of the policy to the owner, and then proceeded to explain that my daughter was the only one with ice cream from someplace else, due to her medical condition and level of comfort. The parent also explained that there were 14 others with the group that were still providing them business. The owner stated that it was disrespectful and that their policy is that customers are not allowed to bring in outside food and drinks. The owner was spoken to in a very respectful manner, while her tone was horrendous as she responded with phrases such as, "I don't know what you want me to do about it" and "...and your question is?!" She was very rude and lacked any sense of understanding. The girls and their friends go there often after school. Not anymore!

Is there any cake decorated more beautifully than a custom cake from this longtime popular bakery…read morein Schenectady? I do not think so. The cakes are made fresh and not frozen. Today, we had a 10" Carrot Cake for an 18th birthday party. It not only looked picture perfect, it tasted great. The website describes the many flavors of cake available in different sizes in round or sheet cake style. When you call to order, you speak to a knowledgeable staff person to select a flavor, size, frosting, and filling. Then you select the decorations and colors you would like. The signature iconic script handwriting of their decorators is attractive and distinctive. You know it is a Villa Italia cake when you first see it. However, always check a custom order cake before you leave. When we picked up the Carrot Cake, the worker did not open box to show us the cake. They should be trained to show the costumer the cake before checking out! Fortunately, I did open box and saw a pink frosted cake saying HB Jackie. My cake was for an 18 yr old grandson. They fixed it so it looked nice, but it was not quick. Please check out my photos to see a few of the cakes we have ordered and enjoyed!

The cakes are always moist. Filling just enough. Buttercream frosting yes is sweet but one of the…read morebest tasting around. Offer plenty of options for decorating also. Recently the gelato cakes have became a favorite too. Recently ordered cookie & cream ones. Every one complimented the taste. Also able to pay and order on the phone. Service was great.
