I never took a picture because the hot dog was so great that it was gone in 30 seconds! The owner of the establishment was super friendly and even offered help for my business. All around great experience and I cant wait to bring my kids by for some ice cream
Much needed ice cream shoppe in downtown Albany. We need to support the downtown businesses.
The owner is always super friendly. Clean place. And the water ice is amazing!! Big difference between water ice and shaved ice lol. We love bringing our kids here
We took our 3 boys (under 3) here and the guy was VERY nice! He was patient with our boys choosing what they wanted and the whole experience was our favorite part of visiting downtown Albany!!! We will be back for sure.. JUST to visit Cool Scoops!
Great location. Down the street from a gorgeous hotel - part of Ray Charles Plaza, the Veterans Amphitheatre, the Flint River Park and Walkway, the Aquarium and other restaurants in an historic downtown Albany. Albany kept their (originally well-built) historic buildings in tact and recently renovated them and are occupied by great local businesses. The man who served us - pretty sure hes the owner - is classy and friendly. This place is not just charming and locally owned, their ice cream is made locally up the street in Thomasville, GA.
I enjoyed my service. My cousin and I had a great time with the kind gentleman Mr.E. The loaded hotdog was delicious 😋 and the ice cream variety was awesome! Thank You so much 💗
Nice owner. Neat location in downtown Albany.
The ice cream is amazing!! Will definitely be going back again soon.
I enjoyed the different flavors of ice creams. It was a very clean establishment. And Eric is a very nice person. I will definitely be visiting again.
This place is amazing. The customer service was great and the Italian Ice tasted better lol. Definitely somewhere I’d make a favorite!
Very friendly service my son has autism and really love this place. He rather spend his allowance money at cool scoops..
My sister and my mom went there after dinner for mothers day we had great customer service and the icecream was A mazzing. We will definitely go back.
The Italian is amazing. Please check this place out if your in Albany! The staff is very friendly.
Horrible customer service and very slow went here with my daughter they rather serve a reg no kids then then a lady with a child I will never visit again rather go to McDonald’s a shame people of color act or treat there own like nothing

Best customer service around!! We were welcomed with a friendly smile. The ice cream was delicious and was a great price! We even got to try some of their Italian ice, which was also so good! Definitely going back and telling others to check this place out! :)
Great hotdogs and pretzel! Very clean and the owner was very friendly!
Very good ice cream. A good place to meet in a very small group. Always clean and bathroom is very clean. Definitely recommend.
I went here to get some ice cream, the ice cream was refreshing. I also got a chilli dog but I didnt care for the chilli at all
Employees are always super kind and personable, ice cream is great! Italian ice is also amazing, just tried it here and was not disappointed!!! If you remember and miss snow biz, this is the place to come!
Great environment for the family. Located near Turtle Park and Flint Riverquarium.
Great place to stop for a snack after visiting the Riverquarium. Excellent service!
Cool Scoop is a nice quiet place to enjoy dessert and lunch. My son and I order an orange sherbet and butter pecan. It was good. We was served with a smile and a Sample for the little one. We promise to come back for a treat.
The ice cream choices are awesome and delicious 😋
Love their food and it is so nice and clean. Always a must if I am downtown. One of my favorite places in Albany! Definitely #1 for ice cream!
Super friendly staff and very child friendly. Go to turtle park and cool off and grab some ice cream. My 4 year old sayd its the best ice cream ever.
We really like going here. The owner is nice. I really hope he doesnt go up on prices anytime soon. Could keep the restrooms a little better but over all a nice place to cool off and get a treat.
Awesome experience this afternoon 4-8-18! The gentlemen waiting on us and were very pleasant to talk with. The ice cream was great and the service was fast. The price was great too. This is an asset to the community.
I would go back anytime 🙂
I love this place. Love the ice cream. I just wish that they had longer hours. They seem to be closed when I come on the weekend.
Very neat, clean, & trendy. Fast, friendly service. Great ice cream & Italian ice. Good value.
I love the service nice prices on the items very friendly staff the ice creams taste great as well can’t wait to take the kids and have so many flavors to choose from they give you alit for the price they charge the hot dogs was good as well not over cooked or dried out the buns was fresh tasting and soft want to go back tomorrow for more I’m going to try every flavor they have up there if I can that’s just how much I enjoyed the place
After an afternoon in the sun, playing at the water park across the street, its really nice to be able to visit a place like this. There are always friendly people there, and great ice cream!
Good service and polite staff, even with a lot of other customers we were still served in a reasonable time frame. Plus the ice cream is delicious with a lot of flavors to choose from!
Great place! the man that owns the shop is super friendly and will hold a conversation with you!! would let everyone to stop here.
Excellent place for ice cream. Friendly staff, clean and enjoyable.JS from kentucky
Great Customer Service, Fresh Food, & Great Atmosphere! Definitely Worth Going to & Coming Back To!
Friendly atmosphere and service. Awesome job
Best icecream in Albany! If youre ever in Downtown on a hot day, this is where you need to visit!
Good quality but wish it was open more
We went into Cool Scoops today and it was a great experince. The guy at the counter was very polite and told us to make ourselves at home. Change the channel on TV, order after we eat and are ready to leave, ect. The ice cream was great and I also got a soft pretzel with cheese, it was made fresh and brought out hot!! I will for sure be going again!
Pretty similar to 2 Scoops and a dog and Blue moon. It was an ok visit.
Cool Scoops has some of the biggest, juiciest and meatiest, all beef hotdogs I have ever had. Mouth-watering!
Could not resist the vanilla creamy cone.
Very laid back but friendly establishment
Best place to go! The Italian Ice is the best!
Always great and great service
Great hot dogs and ice cream! Cute, clean shop and great service too!
Amazing, friendly service and fantastic ice cream/ Italian ice. Definitely a must-have after coming from the Flint RiverQuarium!
My daughter and I came by today (a Monday). On Google it states that they open at 11am which is incorrect due to the fact that they were closed. There was also not a sign posted to let patrons know the hours of operation
So, I’m usually not one to post these, but this is ridiculous.. my aunt Dawn and I went to Cool Scoops after being in the hot sun for an hour or so at the park. My Aunt Dawn has a little service dog, Faithe. Sweetest, smallest thing that is super trained. We walked in and the automatic response is the owner telling us “no no no, no dogs in here.” She responded calmly, “oh, she is a servic dog.” Then he continues to say no dogs allowed, she repeated but she is a service dog. Then he asks for proof, so she shows it to him then says “you know I can deny you service because of your attitude.” She wasn’t giving him attitude until he gave her attitude, which is justified due to him not letting us get my daughter ice cream. So we walked out frustrated, Fay gets sad and confused on why we are leaving. So I go back in with her without Dawn and Faithe. As soon as I come in he yells “I’m done arguing!” I said well I’m not here to argue, I am here to get my overheated daughter an ice cream. Then he continues to try to argue to get me to get an attitude so he can tell me he can deny me service. Which he did when I called him and a**hat, which I admit I shouldn’t have but he was antagonizing me. I left before I let him get to me more. Then we went to Freeze on Westover to get ice cream.Never going there again.
Great Family Friendly environment.
Nice little place to stop for ice cream on a hot day.
Blue Bell Ice Cream. Friendly service.
Great local business with friendly service.
The ice cream I got was gritty, meaning that at some time, it had thawed,then re-frozen. Service was top notch for a small shop.
Best and most affordable place!! Great place to go after playing at turtle park.
Great for ice cream and treats.
Great place! Friendly owner.
Online it said that this place was open until 6pm, I went to this location at 2:45pm on a day that they say they’ll be open and the location was closed.
I am very dissatisfied. I was charged $6.95 for a receipt of my purchase. When I tried to call and inform the manager on what occurred, I could not get anyone to pick up the telephone.
Incredibly Fulfilling, Great host!
Ice cream is love
Amazing service and comfortable
Prices are to high
Friendly staff
