Moxie’s Ice Cream

Best homemade hard ice cream. So hard deciding what flavors to try. Most unique flavors in the capital region for sure. Absolutely worth the drive and the price.

Moxie’s is a wonderful ice cream place. Pam works hard to make sure you go back in time and get to try vanilla flavors from yesteryear. I mean, where do you go and get 5 – 7 different flavors of Vanilla — which don’t taste alike … !!! I LOVE the blueberry lavender, chocolate peanut butter, sangria, horchata, chai, and so many others I just can’t recall from last summer.
They are only open from Mother’s Day weekend until around Labor Day.
Highly recommended — bring cash — as they are only open a few months — not worth paying for off months of fees from the companies.

Bestest icecreams ever.

Rather pricy and in the middle of nowhere… but…ZOMG! They have sooo many flavors that are awesome. Even all of their vanilla flavors are fabulous. The last time I had the teaberry and the blue moon. YUM! The ice cream is made onsite and it of excellent quality, aside from the fact that the flavors are unique and creative. They even had a sweet corn flavor. Once you decide on your ice cream (if it’s not crazy busy they will give you a sample) you then have to pick your cone. A cookie cone? A chocolate cone? Maybe a pretzel cone? I had the pretzel cone to say I did it but I have to admit, I think next time I will stick with a regular sugar cone. I am so glad I have discovered this place. There is nothing like it near my current home in Florida. Sadly, I don’t think I will make it back to family before this heavenly gem closes for the season.

There is so much about this place that I want to love.
— It’s a seasonal business, out in the sticks, with a tremendous amount of personality.
— All the ice cream is homemade, and the flavors are inventive, ingredient centric & seasonal. — The servings are small, a plus for those who don’t want a day’s worth of calories in a cone.
The prices are a bit steep, but they would be fare for the quality of the product, if it actually delivered on the promise of the flavor. My great and abiding problem with Moxie’s is that the flavors always sound so good, but on the cone feel dull and muted.
They are quite good, but they aren’t great. And dammit, they should be great. I want them to be great. And like Lai-​Yee, perhaps it’s a problem of not discovering the flavor that puts me over the moon.
Perhaps next time I’ll go for the cajun strawberry. Corn sounded awfully tempting. So did horchata. And it’s true they offer tastes at the window. But the line is so long, and some flavors require a trip to the back, that I haven’t been able to triangulate my way to flavor which has knocked my socks off.
So I’ll return. But I’m in no hurry. However, now that I know about the burgers with the onions down the road, I may be back sooner than I expect.

So many amazing flavors and a great place to hang out outside with kids of all ages on all the play structures, swings and Adirondack chairs. Also check for their many special events and mini-​festivals.

I love Moxies ice cream. It’s so different compared to all the other ice cream places in the captial region. I always want to try all the other flavors they offer but I always get the Blue Moon it’s delicious and unlike anything I’ve had before. It sorta has a marshmallow taste.

I love ice cream. All kinds, all flavor a, soft, hard. I cannot, for the life of me, understand the fuss here.
We went on a sunny Saturday, early afternoon — prime ice cream time. Hardly anyone was there but hey, maybe they were all swimming or something. We waited at least 2 –3 min for someone to come out of the back and that only happened because an older gentleman yelled «hellooooo» a few times. He may have been an owner b/​c he told the young girl «I want you to keep that door closed back there» and waved her over to us.
For nearly $ 8 we got 2 pistachio cones, each the size of a «baby cone» elsewhere. I’m talking like half a scoop size. The ice cream itself was mediocre and the cones were stale. I’m glad we got the smells, anything else would’ve set us back nearly $ 20. PS: my wife’s ice cream wasn’t properly «seated» on the cone and tumbled to the dirt as we got to the seating area. No loss at all — we let it go.
I really wanted to like the place, if only for the name, but… this was a big nope.

The ice cream is good, but the prices are way too high. A large and medium cool cone came to over $ 11​.It tastes good but $$$$

I’ve been going to Moxie’s ever since I was a child (we won’t discuss how many years that is). I’ve always loved it. The ice cream is really good. That being said, it’s very expensive. Whenever we go we get two cones, two scoops each and it costs a little over $ 11. I think that is a bit steep. The scoops are very small, like the size of a Clementine orange. For $ 11 and change I’d expect a larger scoop of ice cream. I understand homemade ice cream is a premium but the same thing at Tollgate costs about $ 7 – 8 and you get more ice cream!
The people who work there always seem to be completely uninterested and dispirited. My hubby is a jovial guy and likes to make small talk and joke. It’s usually met with a blank stare or just flat out ignored.

Amazing ice cream! A bit pricey, but well worth it all things considered. The Cajun strawberry is delicious, but it’s hard to go wrong with so many delicious flavors!

all i need is a couple vanillas… but the other flavors are excellent too

Delicious ice cream with lots of great flavors to try. They offer a dog friendly sundae which was the main reason I tried this place out. It was fairly simple (vanilla ice cream with a few dog treats on top) and overall the place was overpriced for what we got. However, the atmosphere and excellent service from the staff will get me to go back.
Tip: Bring cash. 3 cones were around $ 12 and they do not take credit cards.

Love love love! Fantastic eclectic flavors of real* ice cream, out in the middle of nowhere but less than 3 miles from the city of Troy… Family-​owned as long as I’ve been alive and I never heard about it? The grounds are lovely, and I want to bring every small child and favorite adult I know back with me. The girl who serve me was friendly and knowledgeable, offering little samples and I got the sense that I had somehow time traveled to 1955. Anyway, I sampled the «blue moon» flavor and that was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted in my life… But what stopped me dead in my tracks was Cajun chocolate peanut butter… Had that in a hot fudge sundae and swooned over it. I’m going to go back just to try the Blue Moon again. Moxies is a local treasure!
* I forget the details but the young lady explained to me how the ice cream was made and it is not air and fluff and fillers, that’s for sure! Thick creamy deliciousness.

This is my favorite ice cream place. I’m not much of a soft serve girl, I actual don’t even consider soft serve to be ice cream. I’m going to stop calling Moxie’s «homemade/handmade»…lets call it what it is: artisan. Yes its $ 3 for 2 smallish scoops or under $ 6 for a sundae, but the flavors are inventive and a lot of love and care goes into making this ice cream. I keep trying the vanillas because I can never remember which one I’ve tried, but I need to stop and branch out. Blue moon is still yummy. AND they have GLUTEN FREE CONES!!!
The counter staff are as sweet as ice cream and the grounds are flipping adorable. (No baby swings, but there are swings and playground stuff and fun murals)
My only criticism of Moxie’s is that they have ZERO online presence. Not even an official facebook page. This really needs to change.

Moxie’s was the first business I patronized after I moved to the area. I had heard that they had interesting ice cream flavors plus gluten-​free ice cream cones and vegan ice cream. It seemed too good to be true! I ended up getting the blueberry lavender ice cream in a cup. It was good, but kinda just tasted like blueberry. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to go back to Moxie’s before they closed for the season, but I can’t wait until this coming summer so I can go back and try all the other flavors!
PS — They don’t take credit cards. I learned that the hard way!

I like Moxie’s, they are indeed, as good as it gets. Delicious, interesting ice cream in unique flavors made by a nice lady who spends half her year as a missionary in El Salvador. (Probably not useful to the whole ice cream thing but we spent some time talking to the owner and she’s a fascinating woman.)
Moxie’s is only open for the ice cream season, when they sell out of ice cream, they’re done for the year. They’re kind of far away from us in Saratoga but a yearly pilgrimage is fast becoming our thing.
I love the mystery flavor thing she does every year. This year’s flavor was tomato! Herbaceous and actually really tasty.

I really like this little place!
There were so many yummy flavors, from Mojito to Cajun Strawberry and Coconut Chocolate Chip. I chose Cajun Chocolate Peanut Butter and my companion chose Cinnamon with Crisps. Mine was very rich chocolate, real, salty peanut butter and a really intense AWESOME spicy kick. Not sure what spices were included, but it was great!
The Cinnamon ice cream was very subtle and old fashioned-​tasting; not too overwhelming. People who like light, elegant flavors will probably enjoy this.
I had to give it 4 stars because the prices were kind of high – I got a kiddie sized cone (one scant scoop) and it was $ 2.95. However, the ice cream is homemade so I think it was worth the novelty.
I will definitely be back for a taste of the «Roman Delight» (a spumoni-​inspired flavor) as well as the white wine sangria!
Oh, and I’ll probably play on the swings, too! ;op

So… Moxie’s now has vegan ice cream! This means I can once again enjoy the deliciousness of Blue Moon in rice cream format!!!

Can I just tell you that the owner makes me want to eat ice cream. She is always super happy and seems to be on a permanent sugar-​high. This is exactly who I want making my ice cream and then handing it through the little glass window. Aside from the awesome service the flavors and texture are heavenly. The varied flavors range from vanilla bean to Mexican chocolate (sweet and oh-​so spicey) and the ice cream is so silky with no traces of ice. A beautiful hybrid of traditional ice cream and Italian Gelato. This is definitely exotic for the capital region.
And even though I’m not 7 years old, I still love Blue Moon in a cone… :)
