    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.

    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!

    Spruce tip

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Campfire Smores flavor

    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

    Baked Alaska ice cream cone - it's a must

    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!

    Berry ice cream, & other ice creams with a baked 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!

    I went a few months ago and they still were making a hole in the middle of the ice cream which…read morestill completely upset me lol BUT I WENT TONIGHT BEFORE THEY CLOSED!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!! no hole in the middle of the ice cream!! Just PURE ICE CREAM THROUGHOUT THE CUP!!!! I can't express how happy I was so scoop into it and see there was no hole!!! Loved it!!!!! And the ladies tonight, they were wonderful!! (Sorry! No photo...I devoured it so fast!!!)

    Taiyaki is a delicious Japanese street food. A fish shaped pastry stuffed with filling like read…read morebean paste & custard. In the warmer months the taiyaki are also stuffed with soft serve ice cream. This street food has become popular in the USA with dedicated taiyaki ice cream spots popping up, and we finally have a shop in Alaska that serves this delectable treat. Softer opened at the end of December in the Diamond center food court. I went to check them out in February, and the taiyaki were fresh, crispy, and had a decent amount of filling. Now the taiyaki wasn't the same consistency as the ones I had in Japan, but it's not really fair to compare things in Alaska to their country of origin. The texture wasn't 100% correct, but it was pretty nicely crispy, and not overly chewy. I had heard from a few other people that when they went the texture wasn't correct & too chewy so consistency may be a bit of an issue, but they are a new business to that can be rectified. The soft serve ice cream was also very good. I ordered 2 "upside down" Taiyaki ice creams which comes with choice of 2 toppings. You can just order a Taiyaki filled with ice cream which doesn't come on a cup, or the Taiyaki pastry on its own without ice cream. If you're not feeling the Taiyaki you can also just get the soft serve ice cream, a milkshake, or a snow bowl (this looks like a variation of bingsu). I ordered chocolate soft serve with a Nutella filled Taiyaki topped with sprinkles, and a matcha/chocolate swirl soft serve with an ube filled Taiyaki topped with Oreo & graham cracker crumbs. The portion size on the soft serve was good for the price ($7). The chocolate ice cream was standard chocolate soft serve, but I really liked the Nutella taiyaki. The matcha ice cream actually had a strong, and not overly artificial matcha tea flavor. Next time I won't get it swirled with chocolate as the chocolate overpowered the matcha. I don't know if I'd get the ube filled taiyaki again. The ube filling was pretty artificial so it's not my preference. The toppings were also fairly sparse, but that doesn't really matter to me. Overall it's a great treat. Service was quick when we went. There was no line, and you just order at a kiosk & the person makes what you order. It's located right in the mall food court by the ice rink so if you're looking for ambiance it's not really going to be this place. I definitely will be back to get some Taiyaki ice cream again, and maybe try their snow bowls. Excited to have something different in Anchorage! This place is definitely a good spot next time you want some soft serve ice cream.
