GPS brought me here after I missed my turn so we decided to grab a quick couple of scoops and a little photo op. I just about squealed when I realized they had Oatmilk Soft Serve and was tempted to get a shake but opted for a junior cone. Hella good, and the sugar cone was made fresh! Lots of speciality soft serve options. Perry's hard ice cream and fried foods to boot. Also they serve breakfast, not sure if that's daily or a Friday-Sun thing. Service was great!! Plenty of parking, ample seating and a little playground for the kiddos. Top notch Igloo if you ask me. Signed.. The Mocktail Madam read more

See all

I was a bit lost and came upon this old fashioned ice cream stand. I ordered the Mickeys burger combo with fries and a bottle of water. Everything was delicious, freshly made and fresh. The fries were crispy and incredible. The staff were beyond helpful and gave me good directions. read more

We've been coming here for years and it's always been amazing but since the new owners took over it's definitely has gone down hill. I got the hot Texas dog and it was the cheapest/worst hotdog I've ever had in my life like the cheapest dog you could possibly buy.. and there dressing they put on top taste like they took the hotdog water and ground beef juice mixed together and called it sauce. My husband got the pulled pork burger and he said it tasted of fish! Do they even have fish on the menu?! Our daughter got chicken nuggets and fries the only thing semi edible and she got a handful of fries and two nuggets for $10!! What a damn rip off. Service was slower than crap and it was slow! We waited 10 minutes before they even started cooking anything! Also they need to do something with the seating area wouldn't cost much to level out it out with how much they charging for shit food. read more

The last two times I've gone, I ordered a burger without cheese and they gave me cheese. I also ordered the advertised "Employee of the Week" special and they made it wrong..you're the ones telling me about it and you make it wrong lol. read more

Excellent food and great service! We had a Texas hot and a large butterscotch milkshake, both were great! read more

The Original Mickey's Igloo - Front of shop with large butterscotch milkshake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, New York

Vegan soft serve! Lots of flavors! Nice to find vegan ice cream! Found it through some searching while on a road trip. Some nice options.

When the Bigando's ran Mickey's Igloo it was a great place. It's really gone downhill since the new owners took over. Prices are high. The menu on their windows show food they don't even offer. The ladies who take your orders aren't very friendly. They lost my business. Mickey's Igloo could take a lesson from Jolly Cow, a tried & true local favorite. read more

If you want to find the worlds best ice cream, fried pickle, or bang shrimp, we'll look no further. Whenever I'm craving any of the above I head to Mickeys. They have such a wide variety of foods and sweets. The employees like to keep the line moving which is super great so the wait isn't long at all. Overall love this place. Definitely make your way over here you won't regret it. read more

The Original Mickey's Igloo - Table - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kingston, New York

So many things were bad, it's hard finding a positive. Cons: - there's no true line ... it's family run and they shout out of windows when they see you - asked me if I wanted my sausage and peppers parm, I said I didn't, just peppers and onions with mustard. Got it in sauce anyway. Told that's the kind they make. - if I hadn't been so specific, picture sign in front shows traditional sausage and peppers - ordered dinners for two people, asked for ketchup and mustard, given two packets - when I had to go back up for more, someone behind some window shouted, "What do you need now?" When I clearly couldn't see inside or who was speaking. I'd never return. Both thumbs emphatically down. read more

Good great experience at the original Mickey igloo. I always take my dog there after I bathe him in Port Ewen. I get a medium vanilla cone and I give him about a half a cup. That's his treat for being such a good dog while he was getting his It's so delicious I love soft, serve ice cream it's one of my favorite things in the whole world. read more

Overpriced, not great quality ice cream. Edible cookie dough was so sweet I couldn't even eat it after 2 bites. Waste of $9.95. However, the hot dogs are really good! I've heard the other food menu items are good as well. read more

Fast Easy Way for a quick sweet treat or something more savory it has something for everyone if you're vegan , dairy free , and even gluten free free mickeys Igloo has something I know you will enjoy. read more

Up until today's trip to this Mickey's Igloo, the only other Mickey's Igloo I had gone to in the past was the Mickey's Igloo on Hurley Ave. However, today was really my first encounter with Mickey's Igloo on E Chester St and I'm glad to say that I stopped there and had my first experience. My mother, brother, and I were wondering where we were going for something sweet, and after puzzling out whether we'd go to Burger King or something else when my brother decided he would give us a mysterious puzzle to solve of "where he was going", we all were kept in mystery not knowing he'd be heading towards there. Parking was great - (but later backing out was terrible), plenty of spots in front, and I saw some more on the sides and close to the back (since we parked next to the trash bin near the 3-way side street, but technically in the place's lot. But when I saw the list of ice cream flavors, my amazement grew. I was debating whether I wanted Cake Batter or Cotton Candy flavor (as they both sounded mysteriously good) or if I wanted a few other backups, and once my brother went up to place my mom's and his order, he must not have heard me - before he left the carside spot (my mom had a stroke in 2020 and it's not easy for her to move). He placed the order. We tend to use credit cards, so when he placed it everything was fine. But when my mom screamed to him that he missed one, he tried to gather the information then went up and explained this. They said that just in this instance that just the $3.00 would be okay (but they weren't too happy making this decision). But once the ice cream came out, I tasted it as it started to drip down the side and I had to "mop" it up with my tongue the second it arrived - and boy did it taste really good. He chose Cake Batter because my mom advised him that's what she'd have me choose (I couldn't decide between the two). It was rich and creamy, and outside of the drippy side at first, I really couldn't complain. I could tell it wasn't water, but perhaps a better brand of milk that I wasn't quite used to tasting - and that might have been good. But coming out of their lot onto E Chester St is a pain. Between the (E Chester St Bypass-Curve and the two other side streets that come to the sides of this place, plus the ample amount of business from the other nearby business (including the body shop business), tied to the missing traffic lights in lieu of stop signs not slowing down cars enough one block away, really slows people backing up out of their spots, and if advised with no cars nearby, those at the garbage can line can either back up enough (while not moving into the street) and exit onto the side streets where they can turn around, or choose to wait (and that wait can now extend for quite some time). I counted about 12 cars that came past back-to-back - all of which we had to wait for! Traffic flow is now horrendous with the missing traffic light there! I'm still in love with another ice cream shop, because its closer to me - on my side of the Hudson River, but it's a hit or miss here, and only if we are out of ideas and the moment strikes to make a final decision on ice cream places because I do think this place did a good job at solving their soft-serve equations. read more

It was amazing and the employees are very nice and the owner is amazing I suggest going here if you live in Kingston New York

I love this place and its recent revival in the community has yielded multiple overwhelmingly enjoyable trips there with my family. I'm one of those people who is trying a new diet every week and I can always find a treat to enjoy with my family at Mickey's. My kids love the Perry's ice cream, the ice pops and the soft serve. I have enjoyed the dole whip and the vegan ice cream. If you're going to enjoy a treat, do it right, get the yummiest treat- so we go to Mickey's for our treats. read more

I live locally in the Town of Esopus and there are many ice cream places to choose from. That being said, we went to Mickey's tonight for the 3rd time this week!! I love that it is family owned and everyone is so friendly! Perry's Ice Cream is amazing!! Not many places around here carry it. My husband is obsessed with the Hot Weiners! The sauce is so good. I wonder if they sell it? I will have to ask next time. And the soft serve choices are too many for me! I want them all. Tonight I had the Black Raspberry with chocolate Sprinkles on a wafer cone and my daughter had the Cake Batter in a sugar cone! I don't know why anybody has an issue with the parking lot. There are so many places to park! We parked out front and had no problem getting out. There is parking all around the building and a playground for kids! I'm already planning on going back for lunch tomorrow! I eat out 5 days a week and The Original Mickey's Igloo is now in my rotation! I know I can count on an excellent experience and fantastic food and ice cream!! read more

A couple of coworkers told me to visit Mickey's based on the strength of two of their items: the hot wiener with meat sauce and the soft serve ice cream. The hot dog was extremely disappointing. I know, I know, it's a freaking roadside ice cream stand for godsakes, who gives a shit about their hot dog? Well, apparently, a bunch of people from the Kingston area, so the dogs are fair game. Mickey's gives you an unexciting, boiled dog with a thin layer of unappealing, almost jelly like meat sauce. Not to mention the sauce has barely any meat and little kick. Oh well, Dallas' is just down the street. While the hot dog failed, the soft serve ice cream sure as hell wins. The recipe, passed down over the past few decades, creates an awesome blend creamy, tasty vanilla and chocolate. Ever get soft serve that tends to resist melting despite 90 degree temperatures? Might be because of a certain amount of gum like substances added to the mixture (or, a lack of air in the mix). Big ups to Mickey's for eschewing more modern ice cream manufacturing methods and kickin it old school. I enjoyed the shit out of my cone after a lackluster dog. read more

On any given summer night the lines at Mickey's are out to the street, full of families and friends from all over the Hudson Valley, waiting for soft serve perfection in a cone. This mom and pop operation does their best to please everyone at once however, and manages to keep waiting children entertained with televisions playing cartoons above each window. Once you get to the front of the line servers are friendly, fast, and always knowledgable about the products and specials. Try the hard dip ice cream for something new - my favorite combination is the green mint chip with hot fudge, peanut butter, and whipped cream. read more

I think someone live behind the ice cream shop. This is a wonderful place to get some ice cream, slushes, and some food. If your in town I would recommend this place over a friendly's. The seating is all outdoors. The specialty sundaes are awesome. This is a great mom and pop shop and is a perfect find for any local establishment. When I come visit upstate, I will also come visit Mickey's Igloo. read more

The ice cream (especially on a hot summer day) was more awesome than I expected but sadly the service a little slow. There was only one young lady working and the people in line behind us were getting a little antsy because she has to make and service all four orders herself before she could go on to the next customer... I got the orange and cream soft serve on a cone and portion was bigger than I expected but it certainly didn't stop me from devouring every bite. Delicious and worth every penny spent. If I lived closer - I would make this place a regular stop on a hot summer day! :) read more

The absolute worst shaved ice ive had in my life. Took 15 minutes to make and the cherry taste was so bad that the three of us threw them in the trash. read more

Good ice cream. I've been going here for years. However on a recent trip my neice ordered a sundae. The server handed us an enormous bowl full of ice cream. My husband wanted a sundae but not one that huge. He asked the other server if that was the size of the sundae. That server told us there were multiple sizes. Essentially we were over charged for a colossal sundae when it was not what we wanted. I feel that they took advantage of us not being specific. With many other ice cream places to visit the staff should treat their customers to better service that includes honesty and integrity. read more

I have been loving MIckey's Igloo since I was a little kid. Now that I'm back living in the area I love heading over there after a day of hot-n-sweaty yardwork and gardening. It's the kind of place that makes living upstate special. My fav is the walnut sundae, with chocolate soft serve. Mmmmm... read more

brings back memories as a kid, loved the soft serve icecream, and i would always get a couple of wieners with the mickeys sauce...yum!

This seasonal soft ice cream stand has been a staple in Kingston since the early 1950's. It has a friendly staff and delicious ice cream. The owner offers a new flavor each week and they are all to die for. The store is an example of the nostalgic drive-up ice cream experience. If you are a penguin fan, they are everywhere in the great decor that keeps everyone entertained or you can watch on of the 4 televisions.They have delicious hot weiners on the menu so you can have dinner and dessert all in one trip. There is plenty of tables for those that want to dine at the shop. The lines are long but move very quickly. The whole family participates in keeping the customers happy. A great stop when you are in Kingston. read more
