Polar Bear Homemade Ice Cream & More

Polar Bear Homemade Ice Cream & More calls itself the oldest name in ice cream, going back to 1949. It makes classic homemade ice cream daily from the original recipes, in a country setting in the Oneonta area that feels like a step back in time.

The ice cream comes from the original Custard King batch machines, and sundaes follow the 1950s soda jerk style. Floats are topped off with root beer from an original wooden Richardson’s Root Beer barrel. Classic car hop food rounds things out, with burgers, hots and fresh-cut fries, and fresh baked goods and homemade donuts offered seasonally.
