Wild Scoops

Pat Tasker - Your Local Market Expert

Wild Scoops in Anchorage is not your typical ice cream stand! Creative flavor combination with fitting Alaska names make it hard to choose just one! Everything from Sitka Swirl, Wild Lemon Berry, Yukon Gold, and the traditional flavors you’d expect, can be found on the menu. Even some vegan options. I chose the one called Bear Hug which was a chocolate coconut base with mixed berry jam… I felt like a hungry bear that just found a pot of honey in a tree! It was so delicious! I’d highly recommend a stop here anytime you’re in the area.

Great icecream choices including vegan options. Kids loved the ice cream sandwiches. The sandwiches were pretty big and thick. Taste was great. Parking is street and no seating.

Loved it so much we went twice in two days! Stumbled upon this tiny ice cream shop downtown with Alaska local flavors and ingredients and knew we had to try them! The first time we got a split scoop of fireweed and the Pilot's Life for Me. The second we got Sitka Swirl and Rhubarb crumble. This is clearly ice cream made with little or no stabilizers like carrageenan, so don't think you're going to take it somewhere else and enjoy it later. You better be ready to eat it right away, or you'll be enjoying some ice cream soup. We took it to our hotel less than five minutes away and it was already melting down the side of the cup. Not that I'm complaining about that though. I enjoyed that texture. A Pilot's Life for Me: pretty good, but I was a little turned off by the "pilot bread" which is apparently just a cute name for hard tack. My husband thought it made for an interesting texture though. Fireweed: floral and fruity. I liked it a lot. Sitka Swirl: rich salted caramel. Very good. Rhubarb crumble: felt that the oat crumble was a little stodgy, but the rhubarb part was refreshingly tart.

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.
