Cute space with lots of seating, efficient service that keeps the long line moving and a long list of changing classic, local and unique flavors. Delicious!
My husband and I shared a Baked Alaska Cone with Sunshine Club and Rhubarb Crumble. Whatever you do, make sure to get the Baked Alaska topping. The toasted marshmallow is delicious. The Sunshine Club was my favorite between the two flavors. I also liked the Rhubarb Crumble, but it tasted more like the crumble than rhubarb. We're in Alaska on vacation and I know we'll be back to try more flavors before we leave.
Stopped in because they had unique Alaska flavors. We sampled a bunch and finally decided on a variety of flavors, all of which were excellent. A couple staff helped us out and there was a big discrepancy between the size scoops they doled out, so quality control could be improved a bit. Ambiance was nice and prices were fair. I'd definitely come back.
Definitely one of the better ice cream places I've been to! Great flavors, great service, in such a cute little dine in area where they feature local artists who are selling the excellent work!
Just tried this ice cream spot for the first time...wow! We enjoyed White Raven and Sitka Swirl in waffle cones with hot fudge. Everything tasted great! One waffle cone was a little messy and breaking apart but it tasted good. Long line but great service . Not much ambiance really, but cute shop. Hoping we get to go back before we leave Alaska on this trip.
Wild Scoops is a true Anchorage gem, and I'm so glad we made it a priority during our October 2025 trip! This locally loved ice cream shop focuses on making small-batches, handcrafted flavors made with Alaskan ingredients--and it absolutely shows. We ordered two scoops in their signature Baked Alaskan cone, which comes topped with marshmallow fluff and lightly torched. I mean how can you not get the Baked Alaskan in Alaska right? We tried these available flavors at the time: *Wild Blueberry: Made with real wild Alaskan blueberries, this flavor was incredible--creamy with the perfect balance of sweetness and tart, berry brightness. *Tiger Treat: A swirl of Thai tea and black vanilla ice cream. Smooth and also not too sweet . My favorite was the wild blueberry!!! I love supporting local ice cream parlors that pour so much heart into their craft, and Wild Scoops delivers on every level. If you're in Anchorage, don't miss it--this place is worth the stop!
Getting in the door can be difficult but then you are faced with having to choose between many delicious flavors. There are three locations in town so if the line is too long at one, try another. Perseverance will be rewarded!
Finally got to visit Wild Scoops! This place stays busy but all staff work together seamlessly to keep their lines moving. The atmosphere is bright and warm despite them selling frozen goods. Wild Scoops has seasonal/rotating flavors. I believe if you visit often enough you may start to memorize their rotating flavors. Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 stars as I came specifically to try a Filipino dessert collab that was advertised to come with WildScoops Filipino flavored ice creams. For some odd reason, Wild Scoops did not make their Filipino flavored ice creams available when we came...disappointing. Despite this, what me and my girls were able to try, was fantastic. I believe we had vanilla bean and a few baked Alaska's. We can't wait to visit again.
We all knowni travel for ice cream, so i traveled all the way to Alaska! The Rhubarb ice cream was absolutely
We visited Wild Scoops on a Thursday afternoon and were greeted with a line out the door - and the entire time we were there, the line never shrunk! Single ($5.25) - This includes a single scoop of ice cream in a small 4oz cup. It honestly looks kid sized! I guess a good portion for people calorie counting? For the ice cream, we went with the AK Birch Almond. This ice cream has a delightfully strong sweet and nutty almond flavor. The texture is a bit stretchy and gummy, fluffy but rich. I feel like they use a bit more gum stabilizers than some other artisan shops which gives the stretchy quality. I have not had birch syrup but I've had birch water and love the sweet mineral flavor. I'm not sure that it really comes out much since the toasted almond flavor is so strong. (4/5) We also sampled two flavors which we've never had before: Fireweed, which is sweet, floral, and a bit fruity, and Spruce Tip, which I can't really describe the taste of. I expected it to taste kind of like cedar jelly, so like the essence of pine needles, but it was totally different. PS: the pantry items they have near the front of the store are actually pretty good value. We were looking for Birch caramels and they had the 6oz bag for $13. The more touristy stores were selling it for $20. Bathrooms - Single unisex room
Wild Scoops has a range of local / random amazing ice cream flavors to try (you're able to test whichever flavors you want), friendly staff, an open seating area, and plays classic rock music! I'll be back.
I'd heard the buzz about this ice cream spot, so I had to see what the fuss was about. I rolled up around 9 PM--an hour before closing--and the line was already out the door. That's when I thought, okay, this has to be good. I'd seen a few videos hyping up their signature toasted cream topping, so I knew that was a must. Inside, the vibe was warm and welcoming, with a spread of unique flavors--even options for the lactose-intolerant crowd. One thing that stood out? They offer metal spoons for sampling instead of plastic ones. A small touch, but very cool and sustainable. The place has a good amount of seating inside and a bench outside, but judging by the crowd, snagging a seat on a busy day might take some luck. Now, the star of the show: the ice cream. I went with Redoubt's Revenge--a spicy chocolate flavor that totally surprised me. Smooth, rich, and with just the right amount of heat. Think Mexican hot chocolate in frozen form. I paired it with their Baked Alaskan Cone, and wow... talk about next-level. The toasted marshmallow cream on top was everything--lightly sweet, perfectly browned, and such a fun twist. I only wish I had one more day to go back. But until then, I'll be dreaming of that spicy scoop under that golden toasted cloud.
Coconut ice cream with all the fixings including sago, peanuts, and many others with various textures. Nice staff. Fun atmosphere inside despite a raining afternoon outside.

We stumbled upon this place because it was just down the street from our hotel and visited multiple times. They have so many flavors to choose from and it changes daily, so it's hard to choose. The must for me though is the baked Alaska topping. I've tried to recreate it at home and I just can't get it right. read more
Wildscoops is a uniquely Alaskan handcrafted ice cream shop. They have chocolate and vanilla, as well as 10 rotating flavors, including seasonal flavors. My favorites are anything coffee related, like their black cup coffee. I also like their pumpkin gingerbread which I came here today for. A single scoop is 5.25 +$1 for a sugar cone and more for a waffle cone which they make in house. They also have many flavors they make vegan as well. You can also get a root beer float with moose's tooth rootbeer. Midtown location is open year round and they have a sitting area inside. Pro tip: you can get a sample of any flavor and you can get a split single scoop, two flavors for one price!! read more
This Wild Scoops is located in the same plaza as Great Harvest Bread (on the opposite side) and Metro Cooks with plenty of parking available. I have gone to this location twice and wished there was one back at home in Los Angeles because the flavored ice creams they have available is very good. On my first visit, my husband and I were greeted by a friendly employee behind the counter. We ended up purchasing: Double Scoop (in a bowl), $7.50- We ended up choosing Fireweed and AK Birch Almond. Fireweed is a tall wildflower that grows abundantly in Alaska, and is affected by forest fires (thus the name). This pretty flower had a nice floral sweetness that I really liked. The birch almond was also very good with vanilla ice cream mixed with swirls of birch syrup. For those of you that do not know, birch syrup is processed from birch wood (which seems to be abundant here in Alaska) and depending on when it is harvested (as my husband and I had learned from a tour that there are different runs), it has a nice caramel flavor and can resemble the consistency of molasses. This syrup had a nice flavor balance with the vanilla. Portion size for this double scoop bowl was pretty generous and actually a great price because back home, I have paid a little more for less of the amount. The second time my husband and I visited, we came last Saturday in which Alaska 529 (an organization that can help those budget for school) was buying every visitor a free scoop of Wild Scoops (at all 3 of their locations). On this visit, we ended up getting: Bridge Creek Birch on sugar cone- This ice cream is similar to the AK Birch Almond but is made with oat milk and birch syrup instead. My husband was curious to see how this would compare with the other version and so he ordered it. He liked it but I didn't. I thought the oat milk had a strong after taste. The sugar cone itself was good though. Wild Blueberry- Alaska is also known for their wild blueberries so I decided to try this. I am not the biggest blueberry fan but I really loved this ice cream. The flavors were pronounced and not artificial tasting. I loved that the ice cream was nice and creamy. Both my husband (and our little girl, who also loves ice cream too) and I really loved the local flavors that Wild Scoops had to offer. If you are looking to try a local favorite, then make sure to visit any of Wild Scoops locations. You won't be disappointed. read more

Coming from Texas, someone told me that this is the best ice cream spot to try out in Alaska. Apparently Wild Scoops is the spot whenever you pass by in Anchorage. Got there and the line was a bit long but it was moving pretty fast so I knew it was gonna be pretty good. I did the White Raven and S'mores in a waffle cone, it was so good and it was definitely worth waiting in line for. Be back soon!!! read more
Love this local ice cream shop! Such innovative yummy ice cream flavors. Lines may be long but well worth it and moves quickly. There isn't a ton of seating area but I don't mind just standing or sitting on the back bench to finish my ice cream. Don't forget about their winter punch card! Double stamps for when it's below freezing or actively snowing out read more
I absolutely loved this cutie place! You can get any ice cream topped with toasted marshmallow, and it is absolutely as good as it sounds. I opted for the fresh blueberry ice cream and it was so amazing. I honestly wish I had gotten a chocolate flavor for more of a s'mores situation, but it was still amazing. Fresh waffle cone, creamy ice cream, and toasted marshmallow topping loved it. read more
Yummmmm! We love the fun flavors. The Classic ice cream sandwich, the Sitka Swirl and also S'more's are my faves. We brought our 8 visiting family members last night and they wanted to come again tonight. Addie was super sweet and patient with our large family order. read more

A fun ice cream shop serving up unique Alaskan flavors -- stopped by on a rainy day in Anchorage, but there were still a ton of folks in line so you know it's local-approved. They have a fun history and started as a food truck before growing into a brick-and-mortar establishment, complete with a 'test kitchen' to develop new flavors. They have tables inside and it was a cozy vibe with the rain outside. The employees are super sweet, and let us sample a few flavors! I got the Baked Alaska and it was SO. GOOD. and also probably best shared between two people -- the base ice cream was Malted Cookies and Cream with the toasted marshmallow fluff on top! Might be common sense, but it's worth noting that you can only get the fluff toasted if you opt for a cone because of fire hazards -- my friend got a cup and so her fluff was plain and it was a bit on the gummier side. I LOVED the toasted one, though! read more
WOW WOW WOW! I have absolutely no words for how delicious this ice cream was. I came around 7:30pm and the line was to the door, but it went by super fast. Apparently during peak season, the line is way far out the door. The service went by super quickly. They had a variety of unique flavors and I sampled a few, but the Sitka Swirl was absolutely delicious. I got it baked Alaska style, which was definitely the right move! It is $3 extra, but so worth it in my opinion. I want all my ice creams I eat to be baked Alaska style. It's a cute little shop with limited seating indoors and a few benches outdoors. They have different flavors from time to time. Definitely worth the trip when you come to Anchorage. We got 2 ice cream cones, one baked Alaska style and one regular for $13.50, which is pretty average for an ice cream shop. Great place! read more

Hi Laura! Oh no, 2 waffle cones w/1 scoop each should have only come…
Local Ice Cream Shop that has some fun and inventive Ice Cream using local ingredients. Mad genius with some of the creations. They have 2 stores (Benson Blvd and Downtown Anchorage). On a weeknight, we stopped by to get some delicious ice cream and there was a line out the door at 7 pm! Items we ordered: 1. Flight Sampler: 5 stars - 4 Single scoops - I got the Alaskan Wild Blueberry, Moose's Tooth Root Bear, Sunshine Club (Lemon curd w Snickerdoodle) and Vegan Bear Hug (chocolate oat milk w mixed berry swirl) NOTE: They have normal staples but most of the flavors will Seasonally change. So be ready for a new flavor throughout the seasons! Definitely will be back! read more

Delicious, locally owned ice cream shop. They have a few locations throughout Anchorage but only one was open when we were visiting in March. There was a long line when we went on a weeknight. We loved the malted milk and cookies and the white raven (cookies and cream) flavors. Both had lots of big chunks of cookies inside. The waffle cone made in house was also very fragrant but it was a bit thick for our taste (we prefer a thinner, more crisp cookie). There's a good amount of seating inside, which is especially helpful when visiting in the winter when it's too cold to eat outside. Definitely a must try for fun local flavors for anyone visiting Anchorage! read more

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They had a lot of options (cup, cone, baked Alaska cone, cookie sandwiches). The shipping container was so cute and we got our ice cream very fast. Would definitely recommend anyone in Anchorage to check it out read more

Always love going to Wild Scoops even when it is minus 30° out. Big fan of the sitka swirl, their cookies and cream, and the blueberry. Always get great service. read more
I feel so lucky to have the midtown Wild Scoops close to home. They're always so creative with their Alaska theme flavors. What I like also is the fact that they offer at least a few options for vegan ice cream. I'm not vegan, but I do love the taste of their coconut milk ice cream, and many of the flavors they mix into it. I'm very grateful for the generous amount of samples they let you try before picking out the flavor you like. They change up their flavors weekly, but also have a few staples, like their birch flavor, spruce tips, and more. I'd love it off they offered more of those ice cream tacos, because I've never tried one and would love to try something new, especially since it's made from their homemade waffle cone. Their waffle cone is the best part about Wild Scoops. It's not only homemade, but it's very flavorful and delicious! read more

Obsessed. To be honest, I don't even remember what flavor I got but I got it with the baked Alaska cone and it was one of the best ice cream treats I've had this whole year. The scorched marshmallow just adds so much to it that I am exceptionally disappointed not to be in Anchorage more frequently to get it more often. We need a Wild Scoops in New York City!!!! read more
Every town needs that old school ice cream locale. Morsels of sugar shimmering under the florescent lights of an ice cream cooler. And in Alaska, Wild Scoops is that place. If you are looking for the calmer, more relaxing location, this is the one for you. I don't eat ice cream. Too much sugar for me. But there is no denying that this ice cream is the full experience. Free samples, lots of unique choices, and friendly service. While they have normal flavors like chocolate and vanilla, their true creations come in the form of playing with local flavors and seasonal items like spruce tips and rhubarb. And they have local artwork displayed. And they support local organizations. When we were there, there was an option to support PRIDE month by buying a little flag. There are cartons of ice cream sell AND ice cream sandwiches. Tables inside and out for your enjoyment. And, if the ice cream wasn't enough to cool you off, they have a notice on the door that they now have air conditioning. read more
Good ice cream, reasonable prices, quick service, and nice indoor and outdoor seating. If you haven't had ice cream in Alaska, you need to! For some reason, it's all the rage all year long here. Wild scoops seems to be the most popular place. You can ask for samples of the flavors as well, and I was very happy with the cookie dough and wild blueberry flavors. They were rich in flavor, large scoops, and creamy. read more
This was my first time in Alaska, and I heard really great things about this ice cream shop so of course I had to try it out. I am following a plant-based diet, and have been for a really long time. So I was really excited when I saw that they had vegan options for choices. This shop was bigger than the first one that I went to. It had two vegan options, a vegan cake batter and a mango sorbet. I really appreciated this because I feel like ice cream shops should have at least three options for people who are dairy free or vegan. Anyway I got cake batter again for the second time and I didn't care cause it was so good! The waffle cone was so good, and of course I had to get the baked Alaska on top of my ice cream. Such great flavor, and it wasn't too heavy, this probably being that they mix two choices of plant-based milks when they do their formula for their vegan ice cream. I really enjoyed it. So much so that I went to the second location in Anchorage on the same day. I was really glad that both locations gave me the same experience. It seems like everyone who works there really like each other and that makes for a great customer experience in my opinion. 10 out of 10 would recommend, and dead. My friend went to Anchorage three days ago and of course I had to recommend wild scoops to her. She loved it. I am I'm excited to return on my next trip to Anchorage and look forward to baked Alaska on my ice cream! read more
I had such a great experience at wild scoops! So many of their flavors were fresh and delicious. I also appreciate how they source and incorporate local flavors. I enjoyed the local art for sale on the walls as well. We paid a bit extra for the baked Alaska ice cream for them to top your scoop with marshmallow and blow torch it. This place is definitely worth the visit! read more

Great ice cream spot! Unique flavors to choose from made it fun. Seasonal and local ingredients used. The blueberry and fireweed flavors were mild in flavor. The cookies and cream and rhubarb were on point! Bold in flavor and creamy. Yum... read more
Ok, wow! The freshest ice cream! I'm not even sure if that makes sense but it tastes like it was just made. So creamy, so good, so pretty I dont even like blueberry and loved their local blue blue berry ice cream. The girls were so nice and so patient with us while we were deciding. It's just a window so grab a seat on a nearby bench and enjoy. Honestly 10/10! read more
