No stone, or ice cream cone, was left unturned when they determined that Kurver Creme on Central Avenue in Albany is among the best of the best! Now we know locally why Kurver is so great. Whenever I'm with the family in the Central Avenue area during the summer, we always make it a point to stop in for a cone!

Here is what Cheapism had to say about Kurver Creme and its inclusion on this list:

At Kurver Kreme, one of the oldest ice cream stands in the region, vanilla and chocolate are always on the menu, along with a flavor of the week. But the sweetest treat is the iconic Cookiewich, made with your favorite soft serve — like chocolate, vanilla, or orange sherbet — sandwiched between two huge chocolate chip cookies.

For me and my family, Kurver Creme is always our go-to when getting soft serve in the Albany area because it is simply top-notch. Apparently foodies & ice cream lovers nationwide agree!
