Where to begin? πŸ€”... Black cup Oreo yes! Then a flight of ice cream or a Mooses Tooth root beer float? End with a sorbet? No bad flavors here! This is the best ice cream in town. I use to drive for a trucking company and remember delivering a freezer to them like 6+ years ago off 15th. The nice lady gave me a pint of White Raven for free! Its been my favorite since. Thank you for the great products and the Alaskan service! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

This place is SO GOOD! The last time we stopped by, they had TWO dairy-free options, which is more than most places have, AND they were both delicious! I love that we can take the whole family with lots of different dietary restrictions and find something for everyone! This is definitely a must-stop while in Anchorage.

Yummy ice cream. Fun, unique flavors but not so weird you dont want to try them. Every flavor we had was delicious! You wont regret stopping by for a scoop. (We did 3+ times on our trip!)

My visits here are never the same, they have classic and monthly flavors. The consistency of the ice cream and cones vary so if you’re looking for unique flavors they’re your best bet. Often busy so be prepared to wait, but the lines go quickly.

Absolutely a must!!! This was one of the recommendations we got for getting the best ice cream..now I know why. Just a warning....this place is Addictive!!! You cant just visit once!!!! Staff was great not only with giving you samples, but telling you more about the different flavors & unique flavor combinations.The ice cream is so fresh, you can taste it, fresh, handmade, with no additives or preservatives. Loved it so much, we visited twice in the short visit we had in Anchorage.

This was a really cute ice cream spot. They had great flavors. I got the campfire one which was great! The downside is, the ice cream was pretty runny. I’m not sure if that was just our experience, or if that’s a common thing here, but some of them looked really soupy, and I had to eat my ice cream really quick because it was already very soft when I ordered. Otherwise, fun spot!

I love this ice cream! It’s truly the best natural ice cream I ever had in my life. My fav flavor is Bear hug ( coconut milk, berries jam)

Were in town for vacation and stopped in for ice cream. It is amazing and worth every penny. I paid the extra $1 for a waffle cone and wasnt disappointed. We plan on going back before we have to leave!

I’ve never had Thai iced tea ice cream before and I had no idea it would be that good. I have now checked off one more food on my list to eat before I die.

ABSOLUTELY the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. I got a single scoop of S’mores and began to eat as I walked out of the door. Finished my scoop and promptly returned for seconds because I just HAD to have more. The people were so incredibly friendly as well. And I got a T-shirt that is super comfy! Do you ship to Wisconsin?!?!

I was delighted to be able to experience the wonderful flavors of the Wild scoop ice cream. This is a hidden gem that is worth exploring for in Anchorage. The staff was friendly and helpful. The establishment was clean and tidy.

Ice cream is only ok. They have a few good flavors but most sacrifice taste for unique/unusual flavors. Adding beets, citrus or shards of anything rarely improves flavor

The flavors are always on point, and new ones are introduced regularly. The service at this location is fantastic, just like the downtown location. I love the benches and tables set up in the parking lot so that you can sit down with friends and enjoy your ice cream.

When we walked in we could immediately smell the freshly made waffle cones. I ordered a single scoop of the lemon and snickerdoodle ice cream in a waffle cone. It was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered chocolate ice cream and was very pleased as well. I highly recommend Wild Scoops!

I am officially addicted to Wild Scoops Ice Cream!!! They have Alaska themed treats, merchandise and decor. Their ice cream has the right amount of creaminess, flavor and sweetness. Everything is harmoniously balanced into perfect blends of spectacular. Please make your day and go here. You will not be disappointed.

Review β„–21

The Baked Alaska add on was amazing! They put marshmallow on top of your cone and then toast it! I had the vanilla pea powder with matcha cookie flavor and it was great!! The only thing is that they have some weird flavors and they dont allow samples. The 3 people in our party just got chocolate because they didnt want to hate their flavor. They did allow you to pay 25 cents to add a sample flavor on top of your order, but if you are traveling and dont plan to come back, that isnt going to help you. It would be very simple to tell the customer they may try 3 flavors and just scoop a little bit on a spoon and allow them to try. They also did not allow indoor seating. When its 40 degrees outside, its really miserable to sit outside and eat ice cream. The service is what made my rating go down. The tea shop next door was super cute - stop in after your visit. They sell coffee and tea and accessories.

Hand made, small batches, local ingredients, amazing flavor rotating ice cream! Its amazing, it will change the way you thing about ice cream. Whether you go to the big shop in mid-town, the shop down town, or their farmers market stall the ice cream will rock your world. Pictured is the baked Alaska Cone freshly made waffle cones topped with vegetarian marshmallow fluff caramelized with a blow torch.Its amazing. Do yourself a favor and get some.

Love to eat ice cream, so my wife suggested we give this joint a go. Wowza!! Plenty of cool flavors, though some just a bit to adventuresome for me(like to the basics). My better half and I both had two scoop waffle cones and really enjoyed the flavors and creaminess of the ice cream. recommend

Favorite ice cream shop in Anchorage!!!! Love the customer service too, every time I come in there I feel welcome and taken care of! Ice cream always tastes fresh and quality ingredients. If I could compare it to anything, it would be the equivalent of the Moose’s Tooth of ice cream!!! Cant wait to go back again soon!

Alot of times a gourmet dish is a wonderfully clever but small amount of food you are charged an outrageous price for. At Wildscoops the gourmet pricetag gets you a large portion of what is undeniably gourmet ice cream.

I ordered two scoops in a freshly baked waffle cone - Sitka swirl and chocolate. Sitka swirl was like a salted caramel. For an extra three dollars, on top I had the baked Alaska - marshmallow fluff that was toasted to perfection. They offered a variety of unique flavors, some that I wasnt even willing to venture to try - like garlic. overall is good

Wild Scoops ice cream will ruin your life. All other ice cream is tasteless compared to Wild Scoops. I dream of Wild Scoops ice cream. The weirdest part is their vegan ice cream is crazy good. I am not a vegan but I almost always get the vegan choices because they taste sooooooooooooo gooooood.

I was told by a local that this place had some of the best ice cream in Anchorage so of course I had to stop by and check it out. They have your classics like chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, but theyve also got all sorts of wild wonky flavors they make themselves. I am a huge fan of fresh herbs so I ordered their basil walnut ice cream. It was sweet with little bit of crunch from the walnuts and an interesting taste from the basil ice cream base they used. It was different from any ice cream Ive had before but I loved it! I hope I can visit Anchorage again one day and bring my family and friends along to experience the awesome flavors and ideas Wild Scoops has to offer. I definitely recommend stopping by!

The team of employees that were working last night were so calm and patient. I visited with my 4 children and being a single father I am often stressed out lightly when a line forms behind us when when have yet to begin ordering. The staff was nothing but kind and patient, allowing each child in turn to ask the questions in their minds and without ever seeming rushed or pressuring my littles. The customers all stayed calm and content as well.Also very thankful for the hours you guys keep, that makes outings possible on a short notice.

Its become one of those weird, iconic, Alaskan stops up there with Mooses Tooth and Tidal Wave books. The ice cream is top notch, with always fresh and clever flavors. The homemade waffle cones are absolutely perfect. Each bite breaks away exactly the way you want an ice cream cone to break and has an amazing flavor.
