Welp, on this warm November day in New York... yes warm, I enjoyed a medium cone from Spoons Ice Cream. The bottom scoop was mint chip and the top was cookies and cream. I love that the mint chip was green. The cookies a cream had large chunks of cookie. It was my favorite flavor. The mint chip gave a dairy water ice vibe. It even sure I'm describing it well. But, I'd definitely go back for the cookies and cream. The store was tiny and cute. It does give off a basic vibe, but if it delivers exactly what they say, ice cream. There is a nice outdoor area, and there is a few tables as well. read more

cute place. Walked in seemed like nobody was there and then a girl came out from behind. Nothing really jumped out at me. So I just ordered a simple blue raspberry ice. The girl served us and quickly disappeared back behind wherever she was. The ice tasted very artificial. not impressed at all. read more

Had a sweet treat at Spoons Ice Cream today. The shop is located in a quaint and dainty shopping center with a few outdoor seating. Inside, the vibe is very girly and bright. Ambiance rate 7/10. The staff were nice and service was quick. Service/staff rate: 6.5/10. My friends and I ordered... 1. Lil Blue Panda: This flavor consisted of sugar cookie with chocolate cookie pieces. It had a nice, sweet taste to it. I added peanut butter drizzle to enhance the flavor. Rate 7/10. 2. Trash Can: This flavor included different kinds of chocolate and candy pieces. The vanilla base it had was very overpowering and bland at the same time. Rate 5/10. 3. Birthday Cake: This flavor had a great birthday cake taste with lots of confetti and sprinkles. Fudge was added to enhance its flavor. Rate 9/10. It's important to note that they didn't have brownie bites or cookie dough toppings which was unfortunate. Overall, this place offers some unique and basic ice cream flavors, but nothing exceptional. read more

I was exited to come here with my family for some ice cream on a nice day until I realized how they truly run their CORRUPT business. As soon as I walked in there was nats flying around, not clean at all. Customer service was absolutely horrible, I've never had someone so rude take my order. When I got my ice cream the worker pushed the ice cream to me and almost knocked it all over. Not to mention they messed up my order and didn't even give my the right flavor!! Definitely would not recommend. 0/10!!! read more

A nice young boy named Declan, scooped for me and my friends. Wonderful experience the way he scooped was excellent and I more than enough ice cream. Generous scoops and thank you for your work. When you go ask for Declan to scoop. read more

Finally got to try here since am never around when it's open while in the area. The service here is very quick and to the point, but nothing welcoming or appreciative to customers, for their visit. The cannoli sundae was a real treat, like have a deconstructed cannoli in sundae form with two actual cannolis on top. I appreciate the creativity of a cannoli made two ways. That said it was on point and will have try other sundaes and those ice cream sandwiches looked incredible in cooler there. I will give it to this place for having a lot rare flavor combinations here and plenty of non dairy to try. read more

Spoons sells premium ice cream and mostly sticks to the basics insofar as flavors. I have enjoyed those basics (such as vanilla, strawberry, pistachio) more so than the atypical flavors (such as cannoli and birthday cake). Not a particularly warm and fuzzy environment, the deer-in-the-headlights / mostly teenaged staff seems perpetually tense, rarely smiles and generally races through every transaction. Efficiency does not make for much of an experience, however. No one asks you "how are you doing today?" and rarely does one sense even a flicker of recognition from the staff. But Spoons is in Eastdale Village--a real estate development project attempting to project small town/community via the use of consistent store facades, resistance to chain stores, and social media marketing. Spoons lacks in "Ice Cream Shop 101" consistency (meaning, procedures are not performed the same way, every time, regardless of who is working) basics such as packing pint and quart cartons high and tight, writing the name of the flavor on the lid, offering bags with purchases, and remembering to say "thank you." A few weeks ago when I went an entirely different flavor than I asked for was packed into the pint container. Not a problem because I rarely encounter an ice cream flavor I do not like. But I was given the wrong flavor. If you go to Spoons regularly, pick up a frequent buyer punch card by the register. No one who rings up a transaction for you there will ever tell you about the punch card and I only discovered it by accident. Every other store (wine, coffee, olive oil, and yes, ice cream) that has a reward/punch card tends to tell you about it ad nauseam ("do you have a punch card? do you need a punch in your punch card?") during a transaction. The practice is typically encouraged by store owners and managers because it promotes repeat business: no customer likes to leave cash on the table and that is what a punch card with even just one punch is. It is mystifying that Spoons never mentions it. No indoor seating, this is not a place you linger. If you want to sit down, there are some tables outside overlooking the small green. Call ahead during the off-season: hours inconsistent. Overall: Solid, if indistinct, premium ice cream; prices on the high side; service bordering on automaton; ambience = "please put something--anything--on the walls." 5/10/24: A "thank you for your patronage" or a "we're sorry we did not live up to your expectations" response would have sufficed but who am I to begrudge a shop owner the opportunity to editorialize? Why seek a profile in a local media outlet or buy an ad when one can expand on one's preferred topics (e.g. "waffle cones") by piggybacking on a customer's review? I particularly enjoyed the clever "sandwich approach" to review response: the bread (first & last paragraph) = standard "response-to-review" bonhomie while the filling (middle paragraphs) = what one really wants to say. As far as credit card transaction processing fees, most merchants pay from 1.5% to 3.5% to credit card companies. Merchants generally consider that an operating cost & bake it into the cost to the consumer. Some merchants choose to add a processing fee to customers using credit cards (as opposed to cash). I assume this is what the owner is referring to. Considering I always pay cash (& leave the balance in the tip jar) I do not pay attention to Spoons' policies on credit card use. Overall, the credit card fee topic is a moving target & there will be many changes far beyond Alyssa & Marco. The hay-day of consumer credit card reward points is likely sunsetting since Congress has reward points in its crosshairs (2022 "Credit Card Competition Act"). Consumer reward points are funded by merchants paying credit card transaction fees & once there is some resolution to this legislation, a party will absorb fees...the "who" or "how" has yet to be determined. As far as the cost of ice cream to the consumer & YOY increases in cost of goods, I cannot speak beyond my own experience with Spoons, but I did notice that their pints recently increased from $7.50 to $8.00. One can still see the former prices on the Spoons site. ("Quick! Get into the site & edit the menu!") I appreciate the "hope to see you again" closing. Considering I am a "regular"--that is, I have been going to Spoons about every 2 weeks for the last 18 month & about 1x a month during Fall/Winter & I particularly enjoy Spoons' vanilla, strawberry, & pistachio) & I see one of the owners every 3rd visit or so, those hopes to see me again will absolutely be fulfilled. Maybe one of these days they will greet me with something akin to "welcome back," or at the very least some sign of recognition will be directed toward me. PS: I did learn something new via this response: when one designs an approximately 4' x 7' neon sign (aka "aesthetic") make sure the hashtag is either A) unobscured by those who pose in front of it or 2) integrated into the neon. read more

Spoons Ice Cream - Irascibility: 5 Stars! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

The ice cream is delicious and you get a decent scoop. Hubby really enjoyed his ice cream. He had a hankering for pistachio and he was fully satisfied lol I ordered the vegan apple ice cream. The ice cream itself is delicious and creamy. I am told that they make it with oat milk...my favorite non-dairy. I'm not a huge fan of the apple but I look forward to when they make other flavors non-dairy. Hint hint...Spoons...I like chocolate! The shop is super clean and they have a ton of flavors. You will not be disappointed. read more

Spoons Ice Cream - Lil' blue panda cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

The pricing is great compared to other dairy bars / ice cream shops in the area. My wife really liked her cookies and cream scoop with extra cookies. The chocolate I had was good flavor and texture, but the trashcan flavor seemed to be freezer burnt with lots of ice crystals in my scoop and wasn't creamy like the chocolate ice cream I had. Maybe because it was getting low in the bucket and had been open for longer. The staff was sweet and attentive and it's a cute little place. I would give them another try because they have really good prices and offer both hard ice cream and soft serve and lots of sundae options. read more

Best ice cream I've had in a long time. Highly recommend the coffee cookies & cream and birthday cake!

Cute spot that is open until 9:30 on Saturday night which is a bonus. The vegan apple ice cream was decent and the portions are generous. $11 for two single scoop cups each with two toppings is pretty normal, I think. The taste of cannoli ice cream almost convinced me to brave dairy but I abstained LOL. I enjoyed this super clean shop. read more

Good tasting milkshakes. More pleasing aesthetically more than anything though. Prices were also a bit shocking for the area. Almost reminded us of a black tap trendy milkshake. Taste wise wasn't incredibly unique. read more

Spoons Ice Cream - Apple milkshake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

So glad we got to try this ice cream spot before autumn creeps up. Firstly, loved this new little Eastdale community. Super cute store fronts and a lovely area with turf for the kiddies to run and corn hole too! Lots of yummy ice cream flavors, fresh tasting dairy and reasonable prices. A lot of instagrammable milkshakes (including the s'mores one we tried!). I personally would stick to just getting a scoop or two because the flavors are amazing stand alone and very filling. Special mention to the coffee flavor as well as the Cookie Monster. Another high note was the lovely staff- so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Love the ice cream here. Shame I no longer live in Poughkeepsie and can't constantly eat here, but I was visiting from out of town this weekend to see my parents, dropped my dad off at the PT place next door, and while I waited for him, decided to stop buy and check it out. The ice cream was AMAZING! I had a scoop of the canoli ice cream and a scoop of the peanut butter crunch and they were both delicious but there were so many more delicious flavors I didn't get to try because I can only eat so much. And about $4 plus tip for two scoops of ice cream that are a pretty decent size is a great deal. Next time I'm in Poughkeepsie I'll try to come back here. Love it. read more

The cutest shop owned by two sisters who have done a great job creating the perfect ice cream shop and cafe.

What an adorable shop with an incredible story! These two sisters have created an idyllic ice cream shop nestled conveniently close to everything it seems. Now let's talk about the ice cream- wow... I'm wow! Is it ever delicious! We just got a vanilla shake and a carton of "trash can" ice cream to go for our first venture... and both things we delicious! (Of course I had to sneak a couple bites in the car when I thought my husband wasn't looking... and it was everything I could ask for). If you love lots of toppings and yummy-ness you'll want to try that flavor. Now I have my eye on the s'mores shake and the waffle one with bacon?!! Be still my heart!!! read more

This place is very cute and has good outdoor seating to eat your ice cream. The variety of flavors is great. They are also are very clear about how their waffle cone has dairy which I appreciate.
