Small-batch, handcrafted ice cream made fresh daily with real ingredients. No shortcuts, no compromises — just pure, creamy joy in every bite.
We rotate our menu seasonally, but these crowd favorites are here to stay. Every batch is churned fresh in our shop — no factory shortcuts.
Real vanilla beans, whole milk, and a touch of cream. The way it's supposed to taste.
70% cacao Belgian chocolate, whipped into the creamiest, most indulgent batch we make.
Fresh local strawberries with a hint of garden basil. Sweet, tart, and surprisingly refreshing.
Real peppermint extract, organic cream, and generous chunks of dark chocolate. A timeless classic.
Buttery caramel swirled with Hawaiian sea salt. Sweet and salty in perfect balance.
Local roasted espresso beans steeped straight into the base. For the coffee lovers among us.
Poppy's Ice Cream wasn't born in a corporate lab — it started right here in Schenectady, with a passion for real food made the right way. We believe ice cream should taste like something your grandmother would approve of: real cream, real fruit, real flavor.
Every morning, our batch is churned fresh in the shop. We source local dairy when we can, pick up berries from area farms in season, and roast our coffee with nearby roasters. The result? Ice cream that actually tastes like ice cream used to.
