This place needs some love because as I write this, there are only two reviews; one with 5 stars and one with 1 star. Someone has to be wrong. (location: 141 Broadway, Rensselaer, NY - across the street from the police station)
My wife called me and told me to meet her at Mega Kone in Rensselaer. She saw a review on it and wanted to try it out. I pulled into the parking lot Saturday afternoon sometime around 6pm and there was a long line of people waiting for ice cream. Lines like this don't exist for a place that sucks. I had high hopes for Mega Kone.
I usually judge an ice cream parlor by their hot fudge sundaes. However, I was in a mood for some flavor. I skipped the sundae. My wife and I got scoops of Perry's Hard Ice Cream. You can't go wrong with Perry's. I got a scoop of black raspberry and a scoop of blueberry cheesecake. I forget what she got, but hers was in a cone while mine was in a dish. Huge scoops. $14.00 for both of us. I was happy paying $7 for my portion. Definitely worth it.
When she was waiting in line, she emailed me a picture of this guy holding an ice cream taco. I cropped the guy out and included the pic in this review. Look at the size of the guy's hand compared to the size of the ice cream taco. The ice cream taco is HUGE!! I was pretty full on the ice cream I got, but I'm definitely getting an ice cream taco the next time I come here, which should be pretty soon. And then after that I'll try a hot fudge sundae, unless I go for the ice cream nachos first.
Disregard the one star review from 2025. Sounds like they were talking about some other place, or maybe the person was competition. The crowds and the ice cream speak for themselves. This place is a winner! read more
