Hadn't been here in years and went back recently to find out that Dairy Haus (Saratoga) ice cream is now the main offering at Ice Cream Man. We were all impressed with the quality of our choices. Definitely better than I remember from years ago. The young man at the window was super helpful and friendly. We didn't go inside-window service only. read more

We went here a couple weeks ago and loved it. Portions are huge so I recommend ordering a size or two smaller if you don't want a huge amount. Service is so quick and the indoor seating area is super cute. read more

Have to stop by sometime this summer. As young kids on the way to Camp Albany at Cossayuna Lake, we would stop at the old ice cream bar (about 2000 feet east in the attached photo) and enjoy chocolate malts. Wonder what happened to it? read more

Ice Cream Man - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Greenwich, New York

Many of you know I'm on a great American adventure to find the best ice cream spot locally and nation wide! This spot is by far the best one to date. The service was great, these kids knew how to serve ice cream and were super friendly. I have to try a sundae everywhere and this caramel sundae did not disappoint. Most peanut toppings are ok but this place does something crazy with their peanuts. It tasted like they candy coated them or something. Super soft and out of this world delicious. The ice cream was creamy and full of flavor. One negative even though the business section on yelp says they take credit cards is incorrect. Unless there systems were down it's a cash only deal. Like my other ice cream reviews this place is tops for sure. If your in the Saratoga region make it your business and stop here. Get anything with peanuts on top and thank me later. read more

We were treated to sandwiches from the Ice Cream Man following a tour of Fort Miller - I knew the ice cream was award winning but they deserve a prize for their 'wichs - I had my go to turkey; the hubs had a mixed Italian - great bread, fresh veggies and premium deli meats. Getting hungry just thinking about it! read more

This place seems to be popular in summer time. There were people waiting in line. There are plenty of selections on the board with pictures of the available sizes. I ordered the baby size and it's not small in my opinion. It's enough for one serving. I ordered Nutella. Unfortunately it doesn't have strong flavor. My husband ordered peanut butter Oreo with waffle cone. The waffle is fresh. read more

Best ice cream in the area lots to choose from. Not just ice cream too. Great pies and shakes.

So many amazing dairy farms in this area. Unfortunately it was a miss for us-We tried the blueberry and cantaloupe and both were icy and just not what I was expecting. read more

The icecream and milkshakes here are really good the black an white shake and banana oreo icecream is on point

Great ice cream and free doggie cups! What's not to like? :)

Overall very good homemade ice cream that is Next to the Washington county fair. We had the maple walnut (small) and a medium twist with rainbow sprinkles. Overall you can tell it's made with real ingredients and does not give you that chalkie after taste! Only complaint was the price. Almost $10 for a small and medium ice cream seems a little steep especially for the area as your in upstate ny in the middle of no where! read more

Ice Cream Man - Medium twist in a dish with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Greenwich, New York

I love this place! Delicious homemade hard ice cream and tons of unique flavors to choose from. "The Joe" with cookie dough topping is amazing! The ice cream pies look so delicious too, definitely going to try a slice of one of those next! Sad that covid has seating and indoors closed down but the ice cream is worth it. read more

The ice cream man has the second best soft serve on the area , overall the best banana splits in the Ny state. Would recommend any ice cream they have involving marshmallows for hard ice cream , all soft serves are good!. read more

Right now they have a Hand Melon ice cream and a peach sorbet, both with flecks of real fruit. A great seasonal treat. I got lucky because even though it's the height of Washington County Fair next door we drove by during a lull. Home made ice cream in all the expected permutations--banana split, sundae, ice cream soda, milk shake etc--as well as cones of every size and description, and fairly priced. Also, unlike ICM in Saratoga, they serve food. No grilled items but a handful of sandwiches/wraps if you need more than ice cream. I got the small size Fort Miller, I think, turkey and ham and cheese and Russian dressing, and it was more than a meal for $6.49. The service is young and disjointed, which seems to be a mandatory for ice cream stands, and the wait is magnified if you have a food item, so enjoy the sunshine and company. read more

Summary- Ice cream lives up to the hype. We went for fathers day so I could buy my Dad a cone. Holy crap the ice cream was amazing. I liked it because it's not so rich, some ice cream places it just gets too heavy/dense/flat, I prefer my ice cream to be more fluffy and The Ice Cream Man seems too have that balance right. I got the coffee, it was very solid. My dad got one scoop chocolate one I can't remember, both were excellent. My wife got a banana ice cream w/ walnut & chocolate chip. Holy crap I am still thinking about it, I almost stole her cone. Dad's GF got a vanilla custard (kinda like soft serve) it was also very good. Cheap to boot. read more

Located in Greenwich, NY next to the Washington County Fairgrounds... We finished riding the Mohawk Maiden Cruise on a extremely hot day so we decided to take time out for an ice cream cone which was about 15 minutes away.... Ice Cream is home made and very good. read more

Ice Cream Man - Yummy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Greenwich, New York

After seeing this place on a recent airing of Throwdown, took the wife here for lunch and ice cream this afternoon. She ordered the BLT with Cream of Potato soup and I got the Bovine Mooey Gooey sandwich w/ potato salad and small mac n cheese. Both sandwiches were good and the soup and PS were also good, wasn't a fan of the mac n cheese. It tasted fine, just a little dry for my liking. As for the Ice Cream? Dear Lord it's outstanding. Ordered the SF/FF Raspberry Ripple and she got a scoop of the Danish Cream and Orange/Pineapple. They were both just outstanding, hard to believe mine was sugar free as it was almost too sweet for me to eat. But I managed. :) Ice Cream portions are a good value for the price. Highly recommend this place and we'll make many return visits. read more

Good ice cream and poorly managed. Not being a connoisseur of ice cream this review can be dismissed. Most people who love ice cream love Ice Cream Man's ice cream and I will take their word for it that it's better than most. But I've had a number of really crappy dealings with the management of the place that makes me hate dealing with them. And in the area, I know of no other alternative. So I will go back there when friends want ice cream. read more

Like the strawberry flavor! Best ever! It takes 40 minutes to be there, but still worth it. read more

Great ice cream with lots of options for flavors. Love the pistachio. Highly recommend this place

I'm old enough to remember just how good the ice cream was at the old Schuyler Farms shop in downtown Schuylerville. This is just as good, maybe better. I've never bothered to get sundaes or any other specialty items here. The ice cream is just so good, why dilute the experience. The previous time I had been here I got their pumpkin ice cream which was spicy and flavorful. This time, I wanted a "cheesecake" flavor, so I got a "small" cone ($2.95, and they're NOT that small) of chocolate amaretto cheesecake ice cream. It had a rich chocolatey color and a very strong amaretto flavor. The consistency was perfect, rich and creamy. I think I may have just found a new favorite ice cream. read more

This is mind blowing ice cream. I'm usually not a huge ice cream fan, some flavors can really taste artificial and without good cream it's not as rich, that is absolutely not the case here. First off, I like their style, when I ask for a sample I don't want a baskin robbins mini spoon, I want a freaking spoonful of ice cream- seriously, only a few of their samples is enough to fix any ice cream craving. The ice creams are all insanely rich, the flavors are very clean and balanced. Now the sundae, I really can't do it justice. The throwdown sundae, I got it with pumpkin ice cream instead of vanilla, comes with warm apples, real whipped cream, nuts, and, of course, a cherry. This was absolute bliss. If the apples were in a pie, it would be some of the best pie I have ever had. The portion was huge but each bite had good balance. I usually don't like the texture pairing of whipped cream and ice cream, but with the apples and saltiness of the nuts the whipped cream was nice. Overall this place has ridiculously good ice cream and is a perfect stop after a day at the track. read more

We have gone here two separate weekends and both times there has been no adults managing the kids who serve customers. The does seem to be one young teenager who manages the others who when we were there two weekends ago only was serving people at the inside counter, whom he evidently knew and who didn't have to wait in line. Love the ice cream but I cannot stomach rude behavior. read more

The Ice Cream Man (ICM) is by far the class of all ice cream shops serving Saratoga, Washington and Rensselaer counties. As the song goes, "Nobody Does It Better!" Every ice cream product served is home made on premises using the best ingredients available. This is reflected in the incredibly smooth, extraordinarily tasty product they serve. Looking for something unusual? The ICM has it, as they serve 32 different flavors on any given day, with 12 of those changing daily to keep the variety flowing. The secret to their product is 14% butter fat content, which is what makes ice cream, ice cream instead of wimpy tasting ice milk. The ICM also makes the best waffle cones and uses the best sundae ingredients to top off their many specialty offerings. Yes, this establishment is located out of the way and a bit of a drive from most everywhere in their market. However, it is a scenic drive thru historic communities and given the prize at the end of the journey, it is one well worth taking. My wife and I travel there at least once a week, simply because they serve the best ice cream we've ever eaten. If you love ice cream, then you owe it to yourself to travel to this mecca of flavor at least once. But beware, once you've tasted the best, you will find yourself taking the pilgrimage on a regular basis and converting your friends and family into ICM cultists. read more

Despite going on the Washington County Cheese Tour last Saturday and eating nothing but cheese all day, we decided to find the Ice Cream Man and make a lunch of more dairy. I had read all about the Ice Cream Man from Daniel B's review on All Over Albany. What is the opposite of disappointed? Because that's what happened at the Ice Cream Man. I had high expectations, and they were met. Skip the sundaes. In fact, skip all toppings. You are going for maximum ice cream variety on this trip. Get as many scoops as you can handle, of as many different flavors as possible. The menu rotates through 300 flavors, so what is there one day might not re-appear for a long while. I don't live near, so I can't visit often, but if I did, you know I would be eating and checking off those rotating flavors on an Ice Cream Man flavor checklist. (Note: This doesn't exist, but it should. Think of the return business from flavor completists!) As a lover of variety and flavor combos, they've already got me in their corner, so there is almost no use in describing the ice cream itself, since so many other people have. I had chocolate and Forest Gump (vanilla ice cream with chocolates filled alternately with caramel, raspberry, and peanut butter, which, it took me several minutes to realize, refers to the line about chocolates "you never know what you're gonna get") and they were both excellent. read more

So here's the deal: The Ice Cream Man is legen...wait for it... ...dary. LEGENDARY. I remember this place from when I was a kid. My parents used to take my brother and I here pretty often. It's a hell of a drive just for ice cream from where I live, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't worth it. It's easily the best homemade ice cream in the area. read more

Hands down best homemade ice cream in Washington county. Worth the drive wherever you are. I enjoyed the chocolate chip tremendously, great vanilla base with incredible dark chocolate chunks. read more

The ice cream here is a must try.... I stop here regularly during the summer. Always friendly staff and new flavors almost weekly it seems. Super fast service even when it seems busy, you never wait more that it takes them to make your order. Highly recommend!! read more

The Danish Crème is to die for. I may never make it to the Battenkill again in this lifetime but I will remember that Ice cream for the rest of it, for sure. OK the place might be overrun with teenyboppers but after all it is an ice cream shop. What do you expect? The crowd can be a little overwhelming at times but everyone in the area knows where the best ice cream is in Washington County. read more

Warning- sizes are much larger than you expect! Ice cream is absolutely delicious, we got a sundae (against the warning of the previous reviewer) and it was enough for 3 or 4 people. Ice cream flavors were amazing. I had peanut butter and brownies and my husband had almond joy. Wish I could go back and try more! read more

Good creamy ice cream. I got a kids scoop of coffee and it was really quite a large scoop. Price was only two dollars. I recommend stopping for ice cream here. There is no indoor seating though there is a woodsy area with picnic tables. read more

Terrible. Service is terrible took forever staff is not friendly and I when I got my ice cream it had ice flakes in it. I definitely will not be visiting here again. I would advise other people to try somewhere else read more

So we go every year so of coarse we were excited when they opened for the season but there portions have but cut in half and I always loved the homemade waffle cones but apparently there not homemade anymore .total disappointment read more

Hit and miss with this place. If we go for ice cream, it's great. If we try to get food items, let's just say we won't anymore. Our subs we ordered were a disgusting mess. I don't even think the woman knew what she was doing to be honest. The bread was microwaved with the cheese and it got greasy and the bread at first was mushy and then got rock solid because of the microwave. It would of looked similar if someone just threw everything on the paper from ten feet away and wrapped it up and said here you go. We basically had to throw them out because they were so bad. Some of the staff has some attitudes but young girls usually do so that's kind of a given that they would rather be anywhere else then at work. Of course we would return, but only for ice cream next time. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! It's an ideal spot, and it's open all year round in case someone is jonsing for some of their ice cream. Which you definitely will, I can promise you that! All of their ice cream is home made, and they also have sandwiches and pies. My favorite is the Chocolate Cow, and when they have it; M&M Ice Cream. Be warned, the sizing is huge. read more

I have been eating this ice cream since the1990's. I live in a different state and i STILL come up there to get the best ice cream around! The Danish cream is my all time favorite followed by coffee-oreo. read more

The ice cream is still great, but stay away from the rest of the menu! Today I got tomato soup that was so sauce-like I took it home to add diced tomatoes and pour on top of macaroni; the oyster crackers were literally rancid. To the horror of my dining companion, I had to spit them out into my napkin, and when I politely told the staff they should check the expiration dates on the batch because there was something very wrong with them, their reply was, "Oh, we don't sell a lot of soup, so they're probably really old" - Uh yeah. Then, my grilled cheese sandwich arrived: The rye bread was a pale shade of green (though it tasted OK), and the cheese was still cold! My advice: stick with the ice cream. It doesn't disappoint. read more

Love ice cream man. I always get a quart of cotton candy when I go for a to go ice cream. Haven't bought any at the store in months!
