So darn good, we ended up going both days we were visiting Anchorage! They have a variety of local flavors like wild blueberry, fireweed, spruce tips, and more as the seasons change. One of my favorite things was the option to get your scoop with "baked Alaska" - aka torched marshmallow fluff on top. It was so tasty and fun! The waffle cones also have a touch of cinnamon in them which was a nice surprise.
Fantastic ice cream and I'm devastated that I won't be able to get it again for the foreseeable future, as I was in Alaska on a work trip. I'm not ashamed to say I came a lot the week I was visiting Anchorage. No seating, and you order outside at the counter. I tried Sitka Swirl and Sunshine Club. They were both delicious - not too sweet, and great creamy texture - not icy. Their homemade caramel that's in the Sitka Swirl is phenomenal. It might be for the best that they're not located in California, because I would get their ice cream way too much. Sunshine Club has homemade lemon curd, which was fantastic and tart. It's combined with snickerdoodles and is such an indulgent treat. It would be even nicer if they had indoor seating, but alas. Highly recommend - fantastic.
This place is bumpin!! I got the Rhubarb crumb ice cream and it is BOMB. Because it's so busy, it's hard to hear when your order is called out so make sure your ears are turned on!
Delicious!!! Some of these tourists spots are overpriced, but this is actually worth it! My only complaint is there's no good parking, it's nice if you're already walking through town but don't expect to easily just drive there and pick it up real quick Park in the lots and spend some time walking the streets enjoying your dessert ;)
Located in downtown Anchorage. A good place to stop for a treat. I had the rhubarb crumble. It was pretty sweet, but hit the spot on a hot day. The ice cream had a cinnamon taste to it. We ordered at the window and were immediately given our ice cream. The staff working the window were friendly. They have different size ice cream options and you can get it in a cup or a cone. They also have some other ice cream treats.
Amazing ice cream in Anchorage. We stopped on our way from a cruise. Kids tried POG, Chocolate flavors. They liked them. We tried wildwood and blueberry flavors. All excellent. Highly recommend.
As whelmed as I was by my Campfire Smores flavored Ice cream from the Box Container stall outside 49th state brewing, mywife loved her vegan flavor. I did too. So much, we went back the next night to their more downtown location, where she got the same thing and I got the rhubarb crumble before walking back to our AirBNB. Both were amazing. Highly recommend if you're in anchorage
This is a walk-up corner of heaven. Baked Alaska ice cream cones are divine! The ice cream is quality, the cones are crispy, and who doesn't love toasted marshmallow cream? Since it's a walk-up, the vibe is very summer, friendly, and welcoming. Service is as fast as the line allows. Worth it!
Arrived in the Land of the Midnight Sun right in time for the summer solstice where I am experiencing literally the longest day of the year. Sun rose at 4:21am and is suppose to set at 11:41pm in Anchorage. However, it doesn't truly get dark as twilight lingers for hours. What screams summer more than us screaming for ice cream for handcrafted Alaskan Wild Blueberry ice cream made from Wild AK blueberries after a walk on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.
Yumm!!! They have some interesting flavors! I got to visit this place twice during my trip in Alaska and I like how the flavors also rotate. I tried the white raven which was similar to a cookies and cream and then I also tried the Sitka swirl which was really good with the caramel and sea salt! Make sure you try this spot if you're visiting Alaska!
Heard about this place online & reviews were amazing so we decided to check it out & it was delicious!! Different homemade flavors & options like the baked Alaska (fired Marshmallow cream on top). A must try!
We visited Wild Scoops twice during our two days in Anchorage, so I guess that review speaks for itself. Our first visit was to the E Street walk-up. It looks like maybe it once was a walk-in, but this current setup works. The line was a few people deep but moved fast. I had a double scoop in a cup - the Wild Blueberry and Campfire (think s'mores ingredients). The Blueberry was smooth and delicious, and the Campfire was full of nibs and chunks. Also delicious and I'd have a hard time saying which I liked better. A double scoop is $8. Add $3.25 more and upgrade to "Baked Alaska-style," which is your scoops in a waffle cone with a toasted marshmallow topping. My daughter would like you to know that you won't regret it.
Long line but quick service! The marshmallow topping was so delicious and the ice cream was creamy.
We visited Wild Scoops on a gloomy, rainy day in Alaska, but it came highly recommended by everyone I know who's visited Alaska, so I knew I had to try it for myself! Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I was a little disappointed with the flavor selection at this location. Whenever I travel, I always try to order ice cream flavors that are fun, unique, and specific to the place I'm visiting. I ended up ordering the White Rayven, which was essentially a basic cookies-and-cream flavor. Based on the Yelp reviews, I knew I had to get my ice cream in a waffle cone topped with a Baked Alaska. One Yelper even mentioned that they don't like marshmallow but loved the Baked Alaska here, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. The waffle cone, however, was absolutely delicious! The ambiance was really cute and cozy, which was especially nice on such a gloomy, rainy day. It had a fun, welcoming feel that made it a nice little spot to stop by and enjoy some ice cream. The service was great too! Everyone was friendly, and our ice cream was prepared quickly and neatly. It was a little on the pricey side, though--we paid about $20 for two ice cream cones. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to try Wild Scoops, even though it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I'll definitely be back, though, and hopefully next time I'll get to try one of their more unique flavors! read more

Delicious delicious ice cream flavors. The salted caramel was amazing. Wasn't too salty and wasn't too sweet. Just the perfect combination. It is a tiny bit pricey but well worth it. They do also have vegan options It is a small little window you order from. You may run into some homeless people and there might be a small wait after ordering but well worth it. I didn't wait more than 5 mins for my order. read more
Great variety of local flavors you can't get anywhere else. The only issue I have is that the point of sale (POS) is antiquated. All handwritten and saw a lot of mistakes for the 30 minutes watching orders go out that were wrong because it's all handwritten by teenagers doing the best they can with the resources given them. I think management has an opportunity to step it up to make the sales process and customer order 100% accurate. Otherwise great product! read more

Very delicious and fun way to eat ice cream. The cashier was very nice and patient as I asked many questions! I tried the rhubarb baked Alaska. So yummy! To eliminate confusion, choose the ice cream flavor you want, the size of scoop and how many scoops, when you say baked Alaska that means the waffle cone with marshmallow fluff. I may have visited twice in one day read more

Got to experience this absolutely amazing ice cream shop on vacation. They have some of the most amazing selections of homemade ice creams and then to add the Alaskan bake on top!? (Marshmallow creme fluff that is toasted). The place is had a line outside the door, for good reason. Inside was adorable and quaint, with plenty of room to maneuver about. Staff were busy and on it, but also patient with customers. I personally love the Sitka Swirl and Fireweed ice cream flavors. The Sitka has a delicious salted caramel flavor, while the Fireweed was very floral and sweet. I recommend 15/10 read more

Local ice cream? Yes, please. Add in local flavors like Fireweed? Oh, we're in! We enjoyed our one stop at Wild Scoops during our few nights in Anchorage. My wife and I shared a small with Fireweed and Rhubarb Crumble. We hadn't seen these flavors anywhere else in the world at an ice cream shop so it was a delight to experience them. The fireweed was a unique Alaska-only flavor and the rhubarb crumble (our favorite of the two) was an indulgent treat! There are a number of other treats to try besides their daily flavors in cups or cones including sampler flights, "frozen nachos", and a Baked Alaska! Every time we walked by there was a line of varying lengths but it went fairly quickly so don't get turned off by that. It's a window front establishment so the line and service is on the street. They're open every day 12 noon to 10pm. read more

I LOVED this ice cream! I was in search of fireweed ice cream when I visited Alaska and Wild Scoops delivered. It's such a nice floral, honey-ish flavor with a lovely pink color. I got it twice paired with the rhubarb crumble, which was a great flavor pairing. I'm not usually one for cones, so hear me when I say you shouldn't skip this one! It's slightly cinnamon-y and such a nice complement to the fireweed/rhubarb crumble fruity combo. I'd also strongly suggest the baked Alaska topping. This is a maximalist cone read more
Despite the cold and the wind I'm so glad I go to try Wild Scoops! The rock on the wild side flavor is so good and the baked Alaska topping was perfect! I can't wait to come back when the fireweed flavor is back :) got some stickers too! Fast service and friendly! read more
What a fun local ice cream shop! I'm so glad we walked by and decided to try the flavors. My fiancé and I wanted to try multiple flavors so we got one double scoop with the caramel swirl and their version of cookies and cream and another double scoop with the blueberry and rhubarb crumble. They have some unique flavors but my favorite was the cookies and cream. The ice cream was packed full of Oreos. My other favorite was the blueberry one - locally sourced and so fresh!! The rhubarb crumble was delicious because of the crumble part but there wasn't enough of the rhubarb for my liking. Definitely give this spot a visit. Even if the line looks long, it moves so quickly! read more

Really delicious ice cream. I loved the inventiveness of the flavors, and appreciated the local themes. Friendly and fast service. Nice to grab a waffle cone and walk to the nearby park to hear some music. read more

I walked by this place about 3 times in one day before I finally decided to just wait in the line lol. Let me just say that there is a long line here for a reason but don't worry, the line actually moves pretty fast! Ice cream here was really yummy and I liked that they had fun and creative flavors. I can't remember the names but I got one with caramel swirls and a chocolate one and both flavors were perfect together. We opted for the baked Alaska on top because it was fitting for our Alaska trip and I surprisingly really liked that. Definitely skip dessert at the restaurant and come here instead! read more

This location is a small store so there's no place to sit inside, just order and get your ice cream on the go. There's spots nearby where you can sit on a nice day. Ice cream Campfire s'mores: I had a small kids size campfire s'mores and I want s'more. I'd recommend for the s'more lovers. The pieces of graham crackers & chocolate inside the delicious ice cream melted in my mouth and was perfect! I'll be back for some more ice cream on a warm day! read more
