We were craving ice cream after a hike, found this off the highway. Small cramped place. No seating area. Simply place your order with the server behind the counter, grab your ice cream and go. They have descent selections but the cup price is somewhat steep for what you get. read more

Stingy, stingy, stingy. Tiniest samples of any ice shop of been to. I could hardly taste the ice cream in the sample. Each ice cream is weighed on a gram scale to avoid giving too much. There is a sign in the bathroom asking for a donation! read more

We found by chance a cute shop serving numerous ice cream flavors while strolling in Girdwood. Super elated that they carry and serve fireweed ice cream. Our fave or go to ice cream flavor while visiting AK. Very distinct in both flavor and beauty. I love how consuming fireweed and honey plus Alaska wild berry ice cream at below 0 degrees Fahrenheit weather takes a long time to melt. Employee was very helpful and patient with questions. Accepted methods of payment are cash or cards. There's only standing room in the shop. Don't sweat! There are some cool brown benches outside or feel free to indulge in delectable treats while pretending to window shop outside. read more

Just stopped in to have a few scoops and honestly didn't expect much, but the service was quick, friendly and attentive. They also had locally crafted flavors (huckleberry and moose tracks are our favorites) and their waffle cones were fresh and delicious. The vibe is that of an old ice cream parlor and there was outdoor seating to enjoy our ice cream. Definitely deserving of a great review. read more

While there is not a huge amount of room for seating, this is a cute ice cream shop in strip mall connected to the gas station. Many yummy flavors for either cone or cups. Got my son cotton candy flavor, and my husband and I got chocolate peanut butter! If you are making a pitstop like us on our way to Kenai, or just to see Girdwood, stop on by! read more

Was next door at Pizza Place and had pizza breath. They offered samples. I tried a couple and decided on Spumani. It was chocolate, cherry, and pistachio. I had a dish to save carbs and calories. They do have the Fireweed and honey flavor here. read more

Don't want to be the Debbie downer but if you want fresh ice cream at a much more reasonable price go to wild scoops. The selection is pretty decent here and some flavors are from local creameries. $5 for a pretty small scoop is a little steep though. read more

We stopped in while on vacation in July 2025 and had a great experience. Some of the best ice cream we have ever tasted. Worth the price. Great customer service too. read more

A cute, no frills stop on the way to the Alyeska Resort. The Firewood & Honey flavor was delightful! It was something unique to Alaska, and it wasn't overly sweet. They also have common flavors such as strawberry, cookies and cream, and butter pecan. There's no seating available on the inside of the shop due to Covid, and there are restrooms available for paying customers. Would return! read more

The ice cream shop has improved since my last review. No more scales to be seen and much better customer service. Still overpriced, but they have unique flavors I rarely see anywhere else. They also added two posters with all of their flavors outside the shop. This makes it a lot easier to see what they have since the shop is pretty small and it can be hard to move around with other customers inside. As for COVID-19 regulations, inside seating has been removed. Employees were wearing masks and limiting the number of customers inside. read more

Best place near aleyeska to get ice cream!! It's a tiny shop in between a pizza place and a convenience store right off the highway. As you're taking the exit to go up the hill to Aleyeska for all your snow and non snow recreational needs be sure to stop in and grab a scoop. All of the flavors are really good. Typical flavors like strawberry and vanilla are present, but then you've got things like mountain berry and birthday cake. Yes I said birthday cake, not cake batter. They are two different things. I've never really been a fan of cake batter flavored things. This literally tastes like a slice of birthday cake, outfitted with sweet frosting and sprinkles. Most impressive flavor however, was the fireweed and honey. It's the most popular and I can see why. Fireweed is a flower/plant (I never said I was a botanist guys) that's grows in a lot of places in Alaska. They take that and local honey and boom! It's a masterpiece. It's strange do describe anything like this, but it tastes flowery. In a good way. I don't mean like nasty rose water flavored flowery. It's just a delicate sweet taste. Gotta try it to understand I guess. This just means you have to stop in and taste it for yourself. The employees would be happy to have you! They were extremely nice and welcoming and gave impeccable customer service! read more

A bright ice cream shop in the Girdwood Station Mall that serves a variety of typical and Alaskan ice cream flavors.

Me and Minty always get this delicious cold treat every time we visit Girdwood. This is a MUST GO STOP! Has never ever disappointed us! The Cotton Candy is one of the most perfect flavors they have. It's not too sweet or overpowering with that candy floss flavor..and the bubble gum is spectacular! My fav part about it is the scrumptious bubble gum pieces they put In it, they are very soft so you don't have to worry about basically cracking a tooth on one lol!! In conclusion the Alaskan Furbs approve this fine establishment - read more

On the way south to the Kenai Pennisula and the Kenai Fjords National Park on a brisk Saturday in late May, I came across a commercial oasis and decided to stop in. It was a good thing. This oasis stop had everything you'd want, but more importantly, an ice cream shop. Per Yelp, they are called "The Ice Cream Shop", which is an interesting name for it. Everyone can use a spot or two of chocolate ice cream now and then, but for me, it was my first of many on my vacation here in Alaska. I stopped in after checking out the souvenir shop near by and decided that I could get something here at the ice cream shop and be on my way towards Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park for the rest of the day. It was around 10 AM when I got here on a Saturday morning. I noticed this place after seeing a lot of people walking around with ice cream in their hand and thought where did they get that ice cream? That decision helped me to discover a new ice cream place and see what they have here. As long as they have chocolate, I am sold! For the most part though, I enjoyed coming to this ice cream parlor in Alaska Howard just because I had a craving for ice cream and wanted to support local business here. It was a good thing for me and my stomach. It was a small little ice cream shop along Alaska Highway 1 and it was pretty much a godsend, since that was pretty much the only real meal that I had while driving about south of Anchorage. Anytime for ice cream is a fun time for sure. The prices here are a little pricey, but when you're on vacation, you just go with the flow and nothing else matters - well, within reason, I guess. I arrived here around 10:30am on a Saturday morning. There were a few people ahead of me in line. The service was good and friendly. I had to take a minute to look at all the available flavors before setting on a decision, which arguably was chocolate. Chocolate is usually good anywhere, so I ended up getting that one. I believe it was about $8 for a double scoop delight, which wasn't terribly pricey but it wasn't cheap neither. The ice cream shop is located off the Alaska Highway 1, aka Seward Highway. It's tucked away in a corner of the oasis, but once you can find the restrooms, you can go ahead and get yourself a treat here at the The Ice Cream shop. Only problem here was that there was pretty tight parking options, especially when many people are here shopping and dining here at this oasis. Not sure why this place is such a hot spot but glad it is! For the most part though, it was nice to have this place here. The service was swift like how most ice cream parlors tend to be. I kind of admit that the flavors that they offer don't seem to be original and only is basically your basic flavors with some variety - just not much. Still, it's an ice cream shop that will cater to your ice cream fantasies, no matter what flavors you are into. You can add extra toppings for a perfect ensemble, but I didn't do that. Just give me my ice cream plain and simple and we'll be alright. They accept major credit cards, which is always a good thing - as well as cash. I think they had a square reader of some sort at the time of my purchase. The ice cream itself was fun and definitely hit the spot. You can't go wrong with chocolate ice cream and with the vacation in Alaska just starting, it was a fun place to stop by and enjoy a scoop or two. The ambiance was casual and while they do have a couple of tables to sit and relax, you might just need to take your ice cream outside and eat it while enjoying the oasis. I just ate it in my rental car before driving to the next destination. If you are heading to the Kenai peninsula from Anchorage and crave some ice cream along the way, I can recommend coming here for a second. While the prices can be steep, you're in Alaska in the spring/summer time. Prices are going to be higher. Just saying. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the ice cream and the service. It was cool. check em out! Support local! B read more

Ice cream - delicious, customer service, not so much. After going on a two hour hike, we came back to get something to cool us down, and since this is the closest ice cream shop around, we decided to come here. Our whole party consisted of ten people, and there were plenty of workers to help us all out. Instead of having a positive vibe, they seemed to want to get rid of everyone as soon as they could. It was witnessed not only in the way they spoke, but the way they even gave the ice cream. And it's not like we were impatient in waiting for our cold sweets, but the facial expressions they had showed anything but sweet. I understand that it is tiring to work in food services, but it's summer time in Alaska. Places like this should be prepared for a busy season. But nevertheless, I got the Fireweed & Honey and the Blueberry and it was refreshing after a hot hike. read more

The Ice Cream Shop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Girdwood, Alaska

Not impressed by the quality of service. The servers are incredibly inconsiderate to customers asking very straightforward questions. When my partner was asking about one of the specials, the server glared at us. She frankly seemed condescending in all her answers about a naturally friendly topic --- ice cream. I just walked out because the cashier was impatiently demanding, "Is there anyone who needs help? I tried, they're not even listening." She proceeded to complain to another customer how none of the patrons seemed to know where to go or order. Now, you have to realize that the make up of the shop makes it extremely difficult to order, and the servers themselves seem to have no idea where to go or how to efficiently finish orders. When we were amidst the confusion, all three servers were on one side of the ice cream glass cases. When we attempted to wave one down to the far end of the glass case, all we received was unnecessary attitude. I understand this shop probably has a monopoly on the ice cream market, but the servers are ridiculous and lack customer awareness. We left a bit demoralized and confused about how an ice cream shop, which as a rule in the genre of sweet dairy items, could be so harsh and unforgiving to paying customers. Ice cream is just decent at best. Their so-called trademark fireweed and honey only looks an intriguing lavender but merely tastes of plain honey. While there is a 4-5 flavor list of other "Alaska only options," none of them seemed entirely extraordinary. Nothing I would brave the lackluster service for. I really and truly felt slighted as a customer, and I don't recommend anyone who enjoys ice cream to come here considering how poorly they treat and regard patrons. read more

Many of the ice creams you can get at this place you can purchase in the gallon tubs at Safeway. This place is so stinking stingy and cheap, they weigh your ice cream cones to make sure they're only parting with a specific amount. And they charge per gummy bear. It's ludicrous. I paid almost four bucks for a single scoop of fireweed ice cream and almost asked if she misheard me that I asked for a kid's scoop or something because of how tiny the scoop was. Plus, the ice cream was soft as if their freezers weren't keeping them very cold. There's a drawer of tiny pieces of candy sold for high prices. I want to say those single Ferrer Rocher truffles, you know the ones you can get for $1.29 at the convenience store next door, were 75 cents or $1.00 each. I'm surprised they don't charge per napkin. read more

Pretty good ice cream stop! Kind of overpriced, but the flavors were good-- I had the s'mores because it was locally made, and the graham cracker ice cream was delicious. The moose tracks were pretty good and fudgey. There were some small icy pieces in the ice cream but nothing too bad. Not necessarily a must visit, but good if you do go. read more

We bought two "2 scoops" while actually... it turns out to be a really SMALL "two scoops" (honestly packed in & looks more like one) and the total was $20! Now, I understand that this is a small town in a rural area but still this is ridiculous! And you really have no idea that it is going to cost this amount. Really couldn't afford this price tag. Once its scooped, its kinda too late! Esp when I've asked for two different flavors in one cup. Otherwise, I would have said nevermind. It does not cost the shop anywhere near this amount to purchase for overhead. I also understand everyone has raised prices but I can also see 2 years ago the price was the same. Not worth this amount of money. Short stop on the peninsula gives you more a 2 scoop cup and its only $2.25 and their ice cream is better. This was a shock and disappoinment. Won't be back. read more

Fireweed Honey ice cream. That is why you should come here. It's unique. It's truly Alaska. It's purple. It's delicious. There's not much to this little ice cream shop. It's in a small strip mall as you reach Girdwood. They have a pretty good selection of ice cream flavors. And, of course, you can request samples. The biggest props are for the unique flavors with an Alaska twist. (Seriously, get the Fireweed and Honey.) And, of course, you can get it in a cup or cone. And there's some toppings too. You can also get it in a coffee or espresso drink. And they also have Mexican Coke. It's worth the stop if you're craving something cool and sweet. read more

After a long summer of froyo, regular ice cream was a good refresher although I didn't think I'd be breaking my froyo streak in Alaska. I stopped by here on the way back to Anchorage and the place was packed. The store is a homey little ice cream shop that has regular and soft serve ice cream, coffee drinks, and fudge. I was all for getting butter pecan but figured since I was in Alaska, maybe I should get a flavor I could only find there. I decided on a flavor called 'Alaskan Wild Berries' or something like that... and it had a bunch of different Alaskan Wild berries in it.. I think they were wild raspberries, elderberries, and something called moose-berries but I could be totally off. It was pink, tangy, and nicely sweet. There was another flavor called 'fireweed' but it was too floral for my taste. The "Alaskan" ice cream flavors are 30% more expensive (around 75 cents extra) but I think it was worth it only because you probably won't be able to try those flavors out anywhere else. read more

Fan-tabulous ice cream AND next door to the Troopers?! Be still my heart. The local flavors (fireweed, especially) rock, but man-oh-man, this place is not cheap for ice cream.
