There are picnic tables available on the property in front of a wooden fence where you can often see a few cows grazing nearby. Talk about farm to market! Not only is the homemade ice cream top quality, it is delicious. In addition, they serve soft vanilla and soft chocolate, dole whip, homemade Italian Ice, and Frogurt. The numerous flavors of ice cream are rich and bold. They are described well on the menu. Portions are generous so you may want to size down. I like a "small" cone of the Toffee Heath Bar Crunch. Staff is friendly and efficient no matter how long the line is at the window.

So sad. We got there and they had no soft serve vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Only frozen yogurt…read moresoft serve. The hard ice cream black raspberry - was just ok. We have been before and enjoyed the soft serve. Big portions but quality is not great. And no bathroom for customers? Not ok

Plus, you can watch some planes take off and land on the nearby runway. There are only 3 flavors of soft ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and raspberry (plus flavored swirls). The hard ice cream is, I believe, Perry's. I tend to go more to places that make their own ice cream, but Perry's is certainly better than no ice cream at all, and generally good. So my thought here was, "What do they do to make it stand out?" Well, they do 3 things. 1. They provide great customer service. 2. Their prices are quite reasonable. 3. The portions are H-U-G-E! A medium sized cup of ice cream has more than a pint to it. As others have said, come hungry... for ice cream and fun.

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!

Still a 5/5 experience!!! Love TSwirl so so much. My fav is the matcha chocolate truffle!!!read more

It's quaint, quiet, and pleasant inside, and I was greeted by the aroma of crepe better cooking. While it wasn't busy inside, there was a steady stream of orders to go. The chicken in my chicken teriyaki crepe was cooked perfectly and still moist, and the combination of the chicken, greens, and sauce really hit the spot. The teas are quite flavorful but a bit sweeter than I would normally prefer. With so many food options along Route 9, T-Swirl stands out as a unique and delicious option.

Simply the Best. The staff are friendly and enjoy their work, the ice cream is other worldly!read more

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.

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.
