Review from Daniel B.

Have you ever tried Indian ice cream? It's delicious.
And even though I know that this ice cream stand gets its name from its address, I always smile at the thought that perhaps I could get a kulfi soft serve.
Speaking of soft-serve, I've been on a mission lately trying our region's finest vanilla-chocolate twists. In that regard, this place is a bit lacking.
Everyone uses the word "creamy" to describe their favorite soft serve, and I wish they would stop, because it's not a very helpful term. All ice cream is creamy. What the best soft serve shops seem to produce is a swirl with a marked density about it.
The cup I ordered here, was softer and looser than I would have preferred, and it looked like on a hot day it would be a puddle in mere moments.
That said, it's ice cream. And it's not bad. Especially if it's the one that's closest to you, and the one your family has been going to for decades. Then you must go here for the memories. But the soft-serve is not worth a trip. -

I'm a frozen yogurt kinda girl. My favorite? Pistachio in a waffle cone from Kurver. Upon being taken to Curry Freeze, I saw they too offered Pistachio froyo, so I had to try it. Long story short: Kurver is still my favorite, hands down. Curry Freeze must keep their sift serve machines way too cold, because the yogurt was icy and so cold it freezer burned my taste buds. The pistachio flavor wasn't strong enough, and just tasted kind of sickly sweet. I thought maybe the waffle cone could redeem Curry Freeze, but that too was subpar. Curry Freeze waffle cones have a faint citrus taste to them that I personally found very off putting. Needless to say, I probably won't be making any special trips to Rotterdam to come back to Curry Freeze.

After more than a year of being deprived of soft-serve ice cream, I was struck by craving I couldn't ignore. Luckily, Curry Freeze is down the street a bit and around the corner.
Huge selection of flavors - hard ice cream, frozen yogurt, soft-serve, soft serve w/ "flavor-blast" (stripes of flavor along the outside edge), italian ices, sundaes, floats...
But I was on a mission, so soft-serve it was. I got a small lemon-strawberry twist in a cup, and my guy got a small pistachio soft-serve on a cone. The portions seemed generous for a small (yay!) and cost less than $5 total.
Both were rich and creamy without any of the ice-crystal clumps soft-serve ice creams can sometimes get. For some reason my brain had difficulty reconciling "lemon" and "ice cream," but the flavor combination was unique and kinda reminded me of a super creamy strawberry lemonade. The pistachio wasn't bad, very subtle flavor.
I honestly find nothing wrong with this place - and the prices sure can't be beat - but for now it will be an "a-ok" instead of a "yay!" until I can get a better sampling of the other goodies (especially that italian ice). As if I needed yet another reason to stop by more frequently this summer... -

Delicious soft-serve in a friendly little neighborhood joint. And they have frozen chocolate-covered bananas and chocolate-covered cheesecake on a stick, which I have yet to try. Prices seem a little cheaper than many of the places I go in Albany.
God, I just love soft-serve season.... -

I went to Curry Freeze the other day after work on a warm day and I was craving ice cream. I had heard about it from people and passed by a number of times, but had never stopped before.
I guess I got there at an off time, as there was absolutely no line. I had a hard time deciding what to order. They had a whole list of homemade hard ice creams that sounded great, but I was a little more in the mood for soft serve. I ended up ordering a medium twist cone with chocolate sprinkles. I didn't expect the medium to be so big!! Wow! And it tasted great.
The service was also great. The girl who took my order at the window was very nice and friendly.
I will definitely be back and next time I think I want to try some of the homemade hard ice cream. I'm sure it will be just as good!
