20 Ice Cream Shops in the U.S. with The Most Unique Flavors - AFAR

"An Anchorage shop that emphasizes local sourcing and Alaskan storytelling through flavor names and ingredients — examples include Redoubts Revenge (chocolate with cayenne, cinnamon, and chocolate shards), housemade honeycomb, locally roasted coffee, garden rhubarb and beets from customers, and a spiced homemade waffle cone paired with a Baked Alaska topped with toasted marshmallow fluff." - Alina Polishuk

"Take your place in line, check the street sign to see what the flavors of the week are (or send somebody up to the shop door to take a peek), and start planning your order. Most of Wild Scoops' ice creams are made with locally sourced ingredients. Even Alaska-made potato chips make an appearance. Are you a fan of coffee ice cream? Then don’t even play around. Order up a coffee ice cream baked Alaska . They’ll fill a freshly made waffle cone with the sweet cold joy, swirl marshmallow on top, and hit it with a mini blowtorch. You’ll be back for more the next day."

I saw some people walking around with these cones that looked and smelled delicious so I had to try one. I had the Baked Alaska (flamed marshmallow flush) on chocolate ice cream and it was amazing. The waffle cone was perfect too, it’s delicate and crispy and has a great flavor. I might have to go again tomorrow for seconds.

Literally so good! I was in Alaska for 5 days. And came here 3 times and tried 4 of the flavors. The Sitka swirl was definitly best paired with the baked Alaska cone. But the rhubarb crumble was soooo good also! Just not AS good with the baked Alaska.

We went there twice! I had the blueberry both times! It was amazing! Best homemade ice cream ever! Service was great too!

Don't know why, but this is one of the best ice cream I ever had! Super creamy, but not too sweet. Make sure to try the whipped marshmallows on top. We had caramel one and camp fire one. Both are really good.. Must try!!

It was good ice cream, but we ordered a bunch of kiddie sizes to try a few flavors and no one bothered to let us know we could try them beforehand or get a flight. That would have been useful to know, and it was clear what we were doing.. also tried the baked alaska with marshmallow on top. That was good but the waffle cone was awful. Would like the marshmallow on cup if I went back.

Amazing ice cream with cool funky flavors which you can not find anywhere else to choose from, including non-dairy/vegan options with an opportunity to sample before you buy at good prices. They also change their flavors once in a while but there will always be something exciting to try. I tried the spruce tip ice cream, spiced hibiscus sorbet (both were good) and their off trail chocolate which was amazing.

Stopped by for a quick dessert after having dinner. There were about 10 people in line down the sidewalk, but was up to the front within 5 minutes as they were very efficient with a simplified menu and ordering process. The sign out front explains the simple process of picking your flavor, size, and vessel. There were about 10 flavors to choose from, 3 sizes, 1 cup or 3 cones for the vessel. Ordered 3 single scoops in cones with 1 having the toasted marshmallow on top. Ice cream was very good as it was creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. Tasted just like homemade ice cream. There's no inside sitting area, so most just stand on the sidewalk and eat their ice cream. I wanted to come back on another day as it was that good, but ran out of time.

Local ice cream? Yes, please. Add in local flavors like Fireweed? Oh, we're in! We enjoyed our one stop at Wild Scoops during our few nights in Anchorage. My wife and I shared a small with Fireweed and Rhubarb Crumble. We hadn't seen these flavors anywhere else in the world at an ice cream shop so it was a delight to experience them. The fireweed was a unique Alaska-only flavor and the rhubarb crumble (our favorite of the two) was an indulgent treat! There are a number of other treats to try besides their daily flavors in cups or cones including sampler flights, "frozen nachos", and a Baked Alaska! Every time we walked by there was a line of varying lengths but it went fairly quickly so don't get turned off by that. It's a window front establishment so the line and service is on the street. They're open every day 12 noon to 10pm.

There were so many flavors and all were delicious! I enjoyed the float which allowed a taste of 4 different flavors. The staff were pretty friendly as well.

This is a walk-up corner of heaven. Baked Alaska ice cream cones are divine! The ice cream is quality, the cones are crispy, and who doesn't love toasted marshmallow cream? Since it's a walk-up, the vibe is very summer, friendly, and welcoming. Service is as fast as the line allows. Worth it!

Arrived in the Land of the Midnight Sun right in time for the summer solstice where I am experiencing literally the longest day of the year. Sun rose at 4:21am and is suppose to set at 11:41pm in Anchorage. However, it doesn't truly get dark as twilight lingers for hours. What screams summer more than us screaming for ice cream for handcrafted Alaskan Wild Blueberry ice cream made from Wild AK blueberries after a walk on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

Wild Scoops is an excellent source for your hand crafted ice cream when visiting Anchorage. I visited the little street side walk up operation next to the convention center several times when I was in town. There is no seating at this location, so just grab and go. They have a relatively small menu, but make up with unique and delicious flavors. I tried several flavors, and they all tasted excellent to me!

Despite the cold and the wind I'm so glad I go to try Wild Scoops! The rock on the wild side flavor is so good and the baked Alaska topping was perfect! I can't wait to come back when the fireweed flavor is back :) got some stickers too! Fast service and friendly!

I LOVED this ice cream! I was in search of fireweed ice cream when I visited Alaska and Wild Scoops delivered. It's such a nice floral, honey-ish flavor with a lovely pink color. I got it twice paired with the rhubarb crumble, which was a great flavor pairing. I'm not usually one for cones, so hear me when I say you shouldn't skip this one! It's slightly cinnamon-y and such a nice complement to the fireweed/rhubarb crumble fruity combo. I'd also strongly suggest the baked Alaska topping. This is a maximalist cone

Really good Oreo ice cream and amazing vanilla with salted Carmel. My husband got a cookie sandwich which he really liked as well. Nice to have this place at the bottom of the 49th State brewery.

Yes, its that good. Well worth the wait in line. Passes my "vanilla" test; if vanilla is creamy with solid vanilla flavor, almost always every flavor is good. Chocolate was great. Spruce Tips (which, freshly picked, became a staple snack on hikes) was very good. Every flavor we had on our multiple visits was enjoyed.

My favorite ice cream shop of all time. You have to try the baked alaska cone--the combination of toasty marshmallow with the creamy ice cream is beyond amazing. Yummy vegan options as well like the Dreamwich ice cream sandwich. Fun and bright vibes and friendly service!

Always get the Alaskan baked on top. It's sooo yummy. The service is very quick as it's a to go window to order. Easy and off of one of the main streets to walk on.

What a fun local ice cream shop! I'm so glad we walked by and decided to try the flavors. My fiancé and I wanted to try multiple flavors so we got one double scoop with the caramel swirl and their version of cookies and cream and another double scoop with the blueberry and rhubarb crumble. They have some unique flavors but my favorite was the cookies and cream. The ice cream was packed full of Oreos. My other favorite was the blueberry one - locally sourced and so fresh!! The rhubarb crumble was delicious because of the crumble part but there wasn't enough of the rhubarb for my liking. Definitely give this spot a visit. Even if the line looks long, it moves so quickly!

Love this place every time we come! Such unique flavors, many of the flavors are exclusive to Alaska, you won't find anywhere else! You're able to ask for samples of any kind of the ice cream choices they have. The people working there are always so sweet! We try to go in the middle of the day because it can get busy around dinner time, but if you get there when it's quiet, it's so relaxing and absolutely wonderful!

This location is a small store so there's no place to sit inside, just order and get your ice cream on the go. There's spots nearby where you can sit on a nice day. Ice cream Campfire s'mores: I had a small kids size campfire s'mores and I want s'more. I'd recommend for the s'more lovers. The pieces of graham crackers & chocolate inside the delicious ice cream melted in my mouth and was perfect! I'll be back for some more ice cream on a warm day!

I walked by this place about 3 times in one day before I finally decided to just wait in the line lol. Let me just say that there is a long line here for a reason but don't worry, the line actually moves pretty fast! Ice cream here was really yummy and I liked that they had fun and creative flavors. I can't remember the names but I got one with caramel swirls and a chocolate one and both flavors were perfect together. We opted for the baked Alaska on top because it was fitting for our Alaska trip and I surprisingly really liked that. Definitely skip dessert at the restaurant and come here instead!

We went to the ship container location. It was a walk from the Captain Hook Hotel. We order the Alaskan Style and it was definitely hands down the best ice cream in Alaska!

Came here because of all the great reviews and it did not disappoint! I had the sea salt caramel flavor with the torched marshmallow fluff. I would put that topper on anything it was so so good. Just a walk up window, so no seating available. Also, service was pretty slow, with only one couple in front of me I waited about 5 minutes for my cone.

Solid ice cream spot in anchorage! Their flavors range from the typical to creative ones like rhubarb and oats. Ordered their kids size which was plenty for one person. Their service was great, letting us try different flavors. They have two locations, of which we tried both. Highly recommend!

We had to try Wild Scoops after we saw them on Cohens Insta. We had Baked Alaska, White Raven, Sitka Swirl, and Wild Blueberry. All of them were absolutely delicious. We will be back soon!

Rotating menu of fresh, local flavours. Loved the rhubarb almond cookie the most. It was a delicious combination of ingredients and would highly recommend. Also really liked the fireweed! Light floral notes with a touch of sweetness. Cashiers were super friendly and allowed us to taste some flavours too. The mouthfeel was a little icy for some of the vegan flavours but give them a try if that's your thing!

This was my first time in Alaska, and I heard really great things about this ice cream shop so of course I had to try it out. I am following a plant-based diet, and have been for a really long time. So I was really excited when I saw that they had vegan options for choices. This location only had vegan cake batter, which was fine because it was delicious! I just feel like, and maybe this is because I'm a hackling dairy free person LMAO but I really feel like there should be at least three options for vegan people when going to an ice cream shop. A chocolate, a sorbet, and another one. Granted this was a smaller shop. But honestly it was still really good I cannot lie The waffle cone was so good, and of course I had to get the baked Alaska on top of my ice cream. Such great flavor, and it wasn't too heavy, this probably being that they mix two choices of plant-based milks when they do their formula for their vegan ice cream. I really enjoyed it. So much so that I went to the second location in Anchorage on the same day. I was really glad that both locations gave me the same experience. It seems like everyone who works there really like each other and that makes for a great customer experience in my opinion. 10 out of 10 would recommend, and dead. My friend went to Anchorage three days ago and of course I had to recommend wild scoops to her. She loved it. I am I'm excited to return on my next trip to Anchorage and look forward to baked Alaska on my ice cream!

I love local shops and this is no different. For starters there isn't an indoor area- it's just a walk up window. The flavors are local and sounded delicious. I tried a sample of the black coffee and it was delicious. I was gonna get that and made a last minute game time decision and got the Sitka swirl. Great decision; however, I tried the lemon as well and wish I would've gotten that. No worries I'll be back for the lemon later.

Sooooo is this the best ice cream I ever had? No. Is this the best ice cream available in Anchorage? More than likely yes. My wife had the Pilot's Life for Me which she enjoyed and I had the Fruity Pebbles, which I mostly enjoyed. I love love love Fruity Pebbles ok. The flavor of the ice cream was great. The only issue I had was the texture of the frozen sogged out Fruity Pebbles in the ice cream. It was tough and chewy. When I was eating the ice cream, it felt like I was chewing on little tough pieces of rope. Now look, if you are in Anchorage and have a hankering for some ice cream and pass Wild Scoops and the line isn't very long at all, by all means help yourself and enjoy. But if the line is long or this is out of the way, you'll be ok to come back another time :)

OMG this spot definitely lands near the top of my all-time favorite dessert spots! We stopped in twice and were able to try a good sampling of flavors - spruce tip, white raven (Oreo), pilots life, blueberry, almond jam cookie, s'mores, and Sitka swirl. Our favorites were pilots life, almond jam cookie, and spruce tip! The ice creams all tasted great, but the toasted marshmallow topping and crisp, cinnamon-y waffle cone are perfect complements! I highly recommend this spot and it will be one of my first stops when I come back!

I wanted ice cream and found Wild Scoops after a quick search, it wasn't far from where we were. There was a long line and a good 30+ min wait to get to the window to order. I got Chocolate and White Raven in a waffle cone. It was good ice cream, not the best I have ever had but it's worth the wait in line.

Came here with the kids and got the 4 scoop flight with blueberry, rhubarb, lemon and salted caramel. Although I normally am a chocolate/coffee/nut flavor fan, these fruit flavors were really good! A kid got the baked Alaska topping and 2 others the frozen nachos. All delicious. Kids say waffle cone especially good.

Please do yourself a huge favor and order the baked Alaska!! They top it off with marshmallow and they torch it to make it roasted and it's divine. The ice cream is also supper creamy and top tier! You will find them at a few locations around town and I encourage you to not leave anchorage without trying wild scoops!

Great local option in Anchorage with great local flavors! We tried the blueberry cone and it was one of the yummiest fruit ice cream we have had. Definitely going back before we leave Anchorage. A must try spot in the downtown area!

I'm always on the lookout for businesses that showcase their local areas, and Wild Scoops definitely does that; their ice cream offerings are about as "Alaska" as you can get. First of all, they have a ton of Alaska-inspired flavors, most of which source ingredients from around Anchorage (like local honey, sea salt, blueberries, and even locally-roasted coffee). They incorporate these ingredients into a number of both regular and non-dairy (usually vegan) ice creams and other treats. I really enjoyed both of the flavors I tried, especially the blueberry ice cream. Additionally, they offer a number of toppings, including a MUST-TRY "Baked Alaska" topper (I can't reiterate enough how delicious this was). Service was friendly, but be prepared to wait in line, especially on nice days. This is only a takeout window, so you will have to find somewhere to eat your ice cream, but the park across the street is nice for that. Definitely a must-visit while in Anchorage!

Consistently good ice cream. They have about 12 different flavors of ice creams and sorbets with three different kinds of cone (sugar, waffle and baked Alaska). Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Fast service. The line always looks long, but it moves pretty quickly.

During the train ride from Anchorage to Denali, our conductor mentioned trying Fireweed ice cream at least once. We made that a mission before leaving Alaska. We had Fireweed Frapp at a Starbucks in Denali, even though it was very pretty it was made with vanilla bean and pink dragon fruit. Thanks to Yelpers we found Wild Scoop in Downtown Anchorage. The flavors are unique and delicious!  The Fireweed was very light and the Sitka Swirl is like salted caramel. We got it in a waffle cone baked Alaska style - which is toasted marshmallow on top. I did not know I needed that in my life and now I probably can never go back. lol Too bad it was our last day in Anchorage because I really wanted to try the ice cream nachos too! Thank you also for encouraging customers to wear a face mask while ordering.

It's impossible to NOT give this place five stars. - - Impeccable service. Friendly. It's like they actually enjoy working here. - - Smooth operation. They have a flow and speed that is consistent, but doesn't take away from the quality. - - Super tasty morsels of delicious cream. Seriously, this is why you came, right? Great ice cream. I think I noticed their menu says the have ice cream nachos. That sounds dangerous. There will always be a line. Don't let that scare you away. It will move quickly. Take the opportunity to talk to people in line. Most people waiting for ice cream seem to be in a good mood. They have samples; make sure to ask if you're leery about a flavor like "fireweed."

I came here last month to try the Baked Alaska top option and it did not disappoint. I love the warm welcome we received from staff members and their patience as I sampled flavors to make my cone selection. I ended up with the pandan flavor and ube. The pandan flavor tastes like vanilla and was not overly sweet. The cone was crispy and fresh. The baked Alaska top is not always consistent. I came here two days in a row because it was so good on my first try. The second time the marshmallow fluff was a bit too over done that it tasted a bit burnt. I took a picture of both cones for a visual. I would definitely come back if I am ever in Alaska again.

Saw the long line and decided to stop by. Luckily, the line got shorter when I got there. I ordered the mango malasada flavor. The ice cream is super creamy (a bit too heavy for me) and packed with malasada pieces. I wish the mango flavor can stand out a bit more.

Well HELLO!!!!! One of my dear friends took me to this place for dessert and I wasn't disappointed!!! The Sitka Swirl baked Alaska style OMG! You can't go wrong!!! Pure deliciousness! For those who are wondering what is "Baked Alaska "...homemade marshmallow fluff that is torched on top. (Photo) Please check their hours. The staff is very kind too!Can't wait to visit in the summer!!!!!

This is some of the best ice cream I've ever had! I asked them what their top selling flavor was and they told me the "Sitka swirl." This was a caramel flavor mixed in with real vanilla. I opted to get it "Alaskan-style" with toasted marshmallow on top with a waffle cone. The cone was so delicious and the marshmallow reminded me of campfire roasted marshmallows. I think my total was around $8 and it was well worth it for how delicious it was. The location and ambiance was great as well, with local Alaskan art displayed on the wall. We will definitely be back!

We both had the Sitka swirl. It's ice cream base with salted caramel and Alaskan sea salt. We both had one scoop sugar cones and the scoop was generous. We loved the ice cream. We had seen a couple on a YouTube channel endorsing the place and decided to give it a try. We're glad we did.

Delightful ice cream shop with funny staff. I had the double chocolate with homemade fluff on top and it was fantastic. A bit hard to eat with all the fluff but I loved it none the less
