Ice cream parlors are disappearing and it's a nice thing to know that there is still a place where you can find a table inside (or out!) for a bit of sweetness on a hot summer day. Even the doggies get a treat with frozen yogurt and a milk bone! Another nice touch on Delaware Ave!

Every time I'm in Albany I must stop in at Emack & Bolio's. The Ice Cream is the best I've ever had, and the feel of the place is great. Love the decor, love the folk singers in the back room. Love everything.

Although the prices are a bit high, the product is excellent, the staff is outstanding, and the clean, neat, and fun atmosphere is excellent. Whether you want to play a game inside, relax outside, or just hang around, it is all good. The staff is excellent and always in great spirits. This ... Is a great spot!

Great ice cream... Really great. Try flavors that are adventurous - it's worth it. The inside and outside seating are both truly fantastic. Only wish we were there on a night when they have live music. Staff were great.

After a seeing a movie at the Spectrum last Friday evening, my husband And I took a stroll and ended up at this very fun ice cream/coffee shop. We enjoyed our ice cream while sitting in the side yard which was festooned with lights. There was even entertainment...a singer with a guitar who added just the right touch. All in... More

Very nice location in the city . it has a shady, fenced outdoor area which is lit at night. Very child-friendly. It is across the street from a fire house where you're usually welcome to take a peek at the trucks. Ice cream itself doesn't seem all that special.
