Stewart’s Shops

I always take my kids to Stewart’s for ice cream because it’s tasty and a good bargain. This time however we didn’t have the usual friendly Stewart’s experience that we are used to. Our server seemed very annoyed that she had to make two simple bowls of ice cream for my children. To add insult to injury, she didn’t say thank you and only told me my total, gave me my change and said «next» to the only other guy behind me in line. The condition of the store was not up to par either. My wife left with. Stain on her jeans from something on the edge of the table we sat at which out of all of them seemed «the cleanest» considering all of them needed to be wiped down and this one had the least amount of smudges on the table top. Shame on you Stewart’s for allowing such poor customer service and facility cleanliness at this location. I have come to expect so much more from your stores and unfortunately this location really let me down. At least the ice cream hasn’t changed…

Figured I’d post a review for my local neighborhood Stewart’s! My house is about equidistant from the Stewart’s in Valatie and the one in Kinderhook. The staff is really friendly and I think I only came by here two or three times before they knew me by name. The shelves are always fully stocked, and they even make sure to stock ALL of the flavors of ice cream – even in winter (I’m looking at you, Fireworks). They’re always having sale specials (though I only notice the ice cream ones)
The bathrooms and seating areas both inside and outside are clean – you’ll never sit down to a table with old ice cream on it.
They’ve got free air for your bike if you want it, and once a staff member even helped me fill up my tires.
Go Stewart’s!
