We tried the Strawberry and Euro Tart flavors on a cake cone, as well as a double cup of the Death by Chocolate ice cream. Both were delicious! They have lots of options to satisfy everyone's pallets. The shop has the feel of a classic ice cream shop, we enjoyed our time and our treats. They also have an outdoor bench. Pros: -Classic ice cream shop vibe -Lots of flavors -Friendly staff -Cones for yogurt ! Cons: -Parking can be a challenge on Solano Ave Nueve seis dos mil viente seis read more

Such a great hole in the wall spot for ice cream, milkshakes or smoothies! Prices are very reasonable, service is great, and looks to be ran by the original owners. I got a smoothie, my son and wife got ice cream. Whenever we're in the area we're definitely coming back! read more

The couple that I believe both own and operate are so nice and welcoming. They are very patient given the usual Berkeley/Albany (entitled) crowd of people that they should have this or that flavor...or do this or that thing (go start your own small business then, people) to promote the business. The flavors they carry are on point! Natural tasting flavors that really show out from the crowd of the chemically, preservative laden big box brands you see at every grocery store. Wonderful, old school, community loved treasure for good quality ice creams and yogurts too read more

Me & family were in the area for a concert & decided to grab some dessert after lunch. There was a really sweet lady at the front who helped us the whole time. She was super patient & allowed us to sample a few of the flavors. I got a plain frozen yogurt with a bunch of toppings (no extra cost) & my sister got cotton candy icecream. Surprisingly, the cotton candy flavor didn't have a strong, artificial taste! If you're ever in the area, please support this small business :) read more

We were craving a sweet treat after getting dinner at another place on Solano Ave and decided on this store since they closed late. Solano Yogurt & Ice Cream has a warm mom & pop shop vibe, and the workers were very friendly. They have tons of flavor options here (it was very overwhelming). My friend and I both got double scoops, and they were super generous with their servings! I would definitely come back here if I'm in the area. read more

Solano Yogurt & Ice Cream - double scoops of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albany, California

They have tons of ice cream options and 6 frozen yogurt choices. I got a medium frozen yogurt with two flavors. The Country Vanilla was pretty good. The cookies and cream tasted good at first, but quickly began to taste fruity, so maybe it shared the dispensing unit. A frozen yogurt place should ask whether you want toppings before hand, so they know to accommodate the toppings. When they don't, as this place did, you have a feeling it's going to be a small serving of toppings. read more

Stopped by late one night on Solano Ave for some ice cream. The shop itself isn't much to write home about in terms of decor, but the ice cream was delicious! The staff were friendly and let us try a few tester spoons, and they even added extra sprinkles to my kid's cup, which was a nice touch. Overall, good spot for a late-night treat -- just don't expect much ambiance. read more

They have so many flavors! I got a HEAPING double scoop of Moose Tracks and Caramel Caribou on a pointed cake cone (don't come for me) and it was delicious. Moose Tracks is my favorite flavor of all time, so I was shocked to see it! The chocolate and caramel swirls were so yummy and the peanut butter cups were creamy. AMAZING!! I tried the Caramel Caribou for the first time and I would totally get it again. It was so caramel-y and sweet. The woman working the counter was super nice and she fit so much ice cream on my cone I thought I would explode. My boyfriend got the Chocolate PB Cup and it was a solid choice. The chocolate flavor was great and the little peanut butter bits had a nice sweet/salty balance. Overall a fantastic (and affordable) end to our date night! Come support this longtime family owned business!!! read more

Decent variety of ice cream flavors and delicious frozen treats! The soft-serve ice cream was creamy and rich, perfect for a hot day. The chocolate soft-server was tasty as well! They do offer some sugar-free options for people with dietary restrictions! read more

Well, the staff was responsive. However, they don't have any vegan options despite what Yelp posts said. I had to go to another ice cream shop down the street. read more

This low key shop has the best Froyo on Solano! There. I said it. Those is fighten' words you might think, but it's still true. I had the chocolate vanilla swirl and it was just as it should be. Creamy, smooth, and full of flavor. I've been trying other froyo places close to home for years, but the closest one with the best yogurt so far had been Yogurt Park in Berkeley. Now I can travel just a few blocks and have some great froyo, and at a reasonable price! Lots of toppings to choose from, a huge selection of scoopable ice cream flavors, friendly service and great pricing compared to other Solano frozen cream options. I shall return and spread the word! Thank you! read more

I love this place. It's affordable open late and very generous with toppings. The customer service is friendly and helpful.

Came here at night around 9 PM because it was the only ice cream place open in the area at the time and so glad to have done so! The atmosphere inside was really so nice when we arrived. There are tables to sit at, the place is large and roomy, and lining the walls are an assortment of snacks and candies you can get. Their menu and prices are up on a board behind the ice cream, and I saw they serve some pretty interesting smoothies I'd like to try. Onwards to the best part though: They have an overwhelming amount of quality flavor options. Classics like Rocky Road, Butter Pecan, Chocolate Mint. Scoops for the sophisticated like Pistachio, Kona Coffee, and Green Tea. And enticing flavors like Huckleberry, Mango Sorbet, and Strawberry Cheesecake. The array was truly a little overwhelming for me. I ended up getting Strawberry Cheesecake in a waffle cone, and it was beautiful. They scooped the ice cream perfectly so that, as it melted, it went into the cone. I'd love to go back and try their other ice creams. read more

Found this place just searching for an ice cream shop on the way home. The place is really cute and well stocked. Love how it still gives old school ice cream shop. There are plenty of tables in the shop and a tv to enjoy if you just want to hang out. The prices are very good and affordable. I got two single scoops in a cup and the price was under $10.00 the lady behind the counter was so nice and sweet. She was so patient with my daughter who wanted to try all the flavors lol. She was very engaged and thought as we held a conversation about my daughter's first day of kindergarten. My daughter loved her Maui waui flavor and my maple walnut was so good. It was very creamy and I haven't had ice cream like that in a very long time. This place is on the way home so we will probably be making this a regular part of our stop home. read more

Very good tasting milkshakes and frozen yogurt with a generous amount of toppings. Service was also very quick and friendly

Absolutely great service. Price is very fair. Yummy ice cream. I think that the milkshakes are kind of pricey except for that everything else is fine. I got the chocolate peanut butter on a sugar cone absolutely delicious. read more

Stopped by on Friday afternoon for a quick treat for myself and family. They originally wanted me to treat them to some Frozen yogurt and since I have taken them to another spot down the street a few times in the past, I decided to let us try something new. Upon entry, it's basically your typical ice cream shop. That's all you see first. In fact, the frozen yogurt machines are behind the counter, so you can't access them like you usually would at a typical FroYo spot. So, the ice cream is what caught my siblings' eyes first LOL they completely forgot about the frozen yogurt and went straight to the glass to select what they wanted. My little brother got cookies and cream and my little sister wanted to try the blue bubble gum ice cream. I made 3 additional purchases of pineapple coconut ice cream for my parents to try. Everyone was happy and enjoyed it. read more

** The following review reflects my experience DURING the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** I don't know how Jamie W. and I are supposed to survive this pandemic without my Wow Cow nonfat soft serve. I guess it's technically not frozen yogurt since it's delactosed whey, but we're not picky, just calorie-conscious. It's only 12 calories per ounce, so $2.65 a small cup is only 120 calories. To get our daily steps in with safe distancing in mind, we often take a hearty stroll to Solano Avenue from the hills. In constant need of gratification, we stop in here for a treat we know we can handle. We're never disappointed, and the staffer who always serves us is always courteous and liberal with the crushed almonds. I loves my nuts crushed. That didn't sound right, did it? On our last visit, we got lucky and were able to get a swirl of chocolate and coffee, a marriage made in heaven or at least a Brazilian brothel. Remember it had crushed nuts (photo: https://bit.ly/31q06bD). Support them! SOFT SERVE - 5 stars...hits the spot every time AMBIANCE - 4 stars...a lucite barrier is the only addition and of course, safe distancing guidance SERVICE - 5 stars...always stellar TOTAL - 5 stars...support them!...I need them!

Wow now I know why I see so many people sitting outside this place every time I drive by. The yogurt is absolutely amazing. We had tropical yogurt it was passionfruit and guava, and my daughter absolutely loved being able to put all the toppings on her frozen yogurt. It was such a great treat, and it made for a great place to take my daughter on our special date. read more

Stopped by while in the neighborhood and there was a long line at 7ish PM. Clearly a popular spot :) There is a huge variety of items to choose from, from more than 20 flavors of popsicles to a ton of ice cream flavors to choose from, this place also has mangonada, Tostilocos, etc. and it would take a few more trips for me to try all the things I want to eat. I got a few popsicles last time, and the fresh fruit ones are the most memorable for me. The fresh watermelon pop is made to look like a slice of watermelon and is clearly made with fresh juice (and sugar ofc but def a tolerable amount). Will have to come back very soon for the Tostilocos!! read more

Great quality ice cream for a good price and generous portions! I recently came around and bought a single scoop cone thinking it would be simple and small but it was nice and big! I bought the espresso almond fudge and it was such a quick fix to my cold and sweet cravings! The ice cream wasn't super sweet and it was creamy! I really like how the shop is lowkey and tucked around the less busier side of Solano. Definitely visit if you're in the area! read more

I had a sweet man help me with my two scoop order of maple walnut and I believe black cherry in a waffle cup. The ice cream was creamy and the waffle cup was fresh and not stale. I will be back to try other flavors. read more

A no frills yogurt and ice cream shop perfect for your quick and refreshing creamy dessert fix! I don't know what happened the day we stopped by, but we were immediately greeted with a terrible smell when we walked in... I won't dock them for it though since this was just our first time in. Aside from that, service was super friendly and I liked that they had so many sugar-free and non-fat froyo options (at reasonable prices too). I was informed you could do more than one flavor for a small froyo so I ended up mixing their Cable Car Chocolate and Yellow Cake Batter flavors. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again to try more. It's the perfect treat for a stroll down Solano. Free parking all around. read more

Yummy frozen treats and the service was fast enough. However, this place does get popular during hot August nights and the line can sometimes be annoying. It would be great if there was an extra set of hands scooping the ice cream on those extra busy days. Flavor selection was good and the kids loved being able to choose what to stack on their cones. read more

Good little ice cream place. My better half and I were looking for a quick alternative after hitting Fenton's in Piedmont and seeing the long line out the door. When we arrived around 7:30 p.m. to Solano Ice Cream, there were no other customers. A friendly gentleman came out and served us ice cream which tasted freshly made. Once we sat down, we realized that we somehow brought in the crowd. This small store could barely hold the dozen others who rushed in. Yet, one could either eat indoors or outside on the bench along the sidewalk. read more

Been going here for years for their soft serve ice cream. Perfect dessert after a Gordo's burrito a few doors down and the couple who own it are super friendly. Portions are good (usually a kids size with one topping fills me up) and they have a big selection of hard and soft serve. They keep the shop immaculate and the tables and chairs are always clean to sit and enjoy your ice cream There is also a bench out front if you want to sit outside. Open late too. read more

If you are looking for a generous sized scoop and generous toppings, this is a good place. The ice cream is fine but no better than Baskin Robbins. The shop itself has plenty of seating (we visited in the afternoon on a Monday so not very busy) and it is clean and neat. I came in with my two young grandchildren because I had read that they had child sized scoops and that other customers had been able to have 1/2 and 1/2 flavors for a single scoop. My grandkids were dazzled by the bright colored sour patch ice cream and the cotton candy ice cream but I knew that they would not want to eat a whole scoop of it and had hoped to do 1/2 vanilla for them. But when I asked, the counter person said "only one flavor for single scoop " (there is no child's size). So, of course, neither of them were able to finish their ice cream (and the flavors were not to my liking..). $10 for two children's ice creams was more than I was wishing to spend. My recommendation to all ice cream shops is to have a special kids size - very small for children under 10. I would have happily spent $2.50 each for a little scoop for my grandkids and then would have also bought some ice cream that I would enjoy for myself. And I would return. read more
