“great quality delicious ice cream friendly staff! definitely worth trying!“

“Todo lo que halla jajajaja muy rico“

“I’m so sorry I didn’t catch one of the girls names that was working when I went but her and Mariana were so sweet and helpful and funny, made the whole experience 10x better for me and my friend who’ve never got from Venchi before! Will absolutely be back for both the delicious gelato and most inviting staff ever! I hope those girls each find $100 on ground next time they go out“

“Finally trying their hot chocolate. It’s amazing if you like straight up melted chocolate in a cup. It’s bittersweet and warm. If you have strawberries, you can dip them in and have DIY chocolate dipped strawberries with great quality chocolate. Grab a cup to-go and don’t waste the beautiful views of Central Park just ahead of it.“

“Venchi Chocolate & Gelato on Columbus Avenue is a must-visit every time we’re in New York City. No matter how many times we come, it’s become a tradition we never skip.

We’ve tried just about every variety of chocolate they offer, along with several of their gelato flavors and their incredible hot chocolates. Everything is made with exceptional quality, rich flavor, and the kind of craftsmanship you’d expect from an authentic Italian chocolatier.

The store is always clean, beautifully displayed, and the staff is friendly, even when it’s busy. Whether you’re looking for a sweet treat, a gift, or simply want to indulge in some of the best chocolate in the city, this is the place.

If you’re walking around the Upper West Side, do yourself a favor and stop at Venchi. Once you try it, chances are it’ll become a tradition for you too.“

“An nicely provocation for the healthy people. Not fear! Dark chocolate, with your property Triptophane, serotonyn, fire on the metabolism to the perfect working process. I'm a vegan and my opinion on the actually assessment market is that already fitted for the vegan customers. The ice cream is wonderful.“

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“Finally went & was not disappointed. Just the treat I needed 😋😛“

“delicioso helado para adultos, el local, muy bueno.“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“ tried their pistachio soft serve ice cream. Not overly sweet. They have regular ice cream and other types of soft serve. Lots of toppings to choose from. There are ice cream cakes for sale too.

server was friendly

mostly a takeout place with a couple of benches to sit outside“

“Sundaes Best is right on 32nd Street near Koreatown, so I walk by it constantly on my commute. On the day of a concert at MSG, my wife and I stopped in after work for something to cool down before the show.
We skipped the sundaes and ice cream this time and went straight for the frozen yogurt — got the green grape flavor, and it was really good. What I thought was a nice touch: they run two separate systems in this small space. There's a kiosk for ordering froyo, which they prep for you, and then a separate line for sundaes and ice cream. Makes it easy to grab different things without the whole operation feeling chaotic.
Speaking of the sundaes — they looked incredible. My wife and I were already talking about coming back just to try those next time.
Fair warning though: this place is tiny. When it gets crowded, the line and the waiting area kind of blend into each other and it gets tight fast. Best to treat it as grab-and-go rather than planning to hang around. A couple of counter spots exist but don't count on them.
Overall, solid spot. Good product, fun concept, great location if you're heading to MSG or just passing through Koreatown. Hope they stick around — I'll definitely be back.“

“Stayed in NYC Hell’s Kitchen for 6 months for work and tried many different burger joint and this is by far the best i have had during my stay. The juiciest tastiest smash patties, best buns, incredible sauce. Friendly staff and atmosphere! Thank you Cubby’s!“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!! Made the experience that much better. Nice to see the spot were the final episode was filmed but if we lived closer we would come back for the food!! So glad David Chase picked Holsten’s!!“

“Best frozen yogurt, smoothies, etc you will find anywhere.“

“I stop by this beautiful coffee shop where I’m able to sit with my pet, and I ca tell… the food is elegant presented, the coffee amazing and I took the chance to try the matcha absolutely recommended! Adding that is difficult to find a place where I can share time with my pet sitting down!!!“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“Some absolutely delicious Gelato and like frozen desserts. Artistically served as florets on cones. Layered nepolean style in “Gourmet Cups”. Service quick and very friendly. Each time we have been here, the owner/manager has greeted us kindly; even giving treats while waiting in line.“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“This is the only reason I visit Chelsea Market when I am in town.“

“Amazing and delicious - you need to go here as soon as possible!!! Best ice cream!!“

“Came here with my nephew and I was watching on instagram the burke boys that turned my head towards this spot I said I have to come and try it out and I have to say it was amazing after all amazing nothing better then supporting albanians that do it best in the game perfect 👌 👍 can't wait to come again and get more ice cream“

“Great coffees and nice staff“

“When gelato is done right, it hits different.

Love this spot. The gelato is delicious — creamy, not over-frozen, just how it should be. Lots of flavors too, both traditional and more original ones, served in those generous mountain-style scoops.

Only note: it’s on the pricier side, around $10 for the smallest option. But for the quality, worth it. Definitely recommend trying it at least once!“

“Lucciano’s Gelato never disappoints! Every time I visit the American Dream, I absolutely have to stop for gelato before I leave. It’s become a tradition for me!

This visit was amazing thanks to Kimberly, Samprit, Rafael, and the Master Gelataio, who were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their outstanding customer service makes the experience even sweeter.

I ordered the Peanut Caramel and Lemon Pie gelato, and both flavors were absolutely delicious—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The quality is consistently excellent, which is why I keep coming back time and time again.

If you’re at American Dream and love authentic gelato, Lucciano’s is a must-visit. Highly recommend! 🍨✨“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“Thanks for the yelp elite invite. In little part of town is a hidden gem. Must have past it numerous times. What a great experience! It was my first visit at New Territories, a Hong Kong inspired ice cream and dessert shop. When I walked in, I was greeted by nuz one of the workers there. Warm welcome & big smile.She was super informative about the menu and so much fun to talk to. Then I met the owner , Pete. Explained to me to story of the store pretty amazing. They are famous for their bubble waffles. Was hot and fresh with along with vanilla ice cream & sprinkles. I had the double lemon float with lemonade and lemon sherbet as well. Store was very clean. There was about 15 flavors of ice cream to choose from. Definitely will be going back. Was able to snap a photo with Pete as well… “”OFF THE RECORD… he made another waffle no charge. for me before I left… let’s say didn’t make it home. :) oh almost forgot they have amazing fresh cut fruit açaí bowls… sorry pete… the waffles got to me….“

“We went here on a Sunday around noon and didn’t have to wait very long. You can see the menu very clearly when inside the store waiting. You can sample a flavor before ordering. The staff are fairly efficient. While there isn’t seating here, you can walk inland for benches, farmers market, etc. There are unique flavors and good classic flavors. I like that many flavors have inclusions and variegate.“

“The best ube ice cream ever.!!! try the ube cake and ube mango sticky rice too so yummy!!! Very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place.“

“My son and I had such a great visit. The owners are so friendly and nice. On top of that, it’s the best ice cream I have ever had! I live 20 minutes away and I will definitely be visiting again soon“

“My partner and I stopped by here last night and we were wowed by the delicious ice cream flavors! I got the brown sugar brownie cookie dough I believe, and he got matcha and strawberry. The service here was phenomenal, the employees are so friendly and the vibes were excellent.“

“Best ice cream in New Jersey highly recommended .. try the Dubai chocolate its addicting 🥰“

“Amorino is always a delightful treat, especially if you’re craving high-quality gelato. The presentation is beautiful, the signature flower-shaped cone makes it feel extra special. The gelato itself is rich, smooth, and full of natural flavors, with plenty of options to choose from. I also love that you can mix multiple flavors in one cone. The staff were friendly and patient, even when it got busy. Overall, a great spot for dessert and a perfect place to enjoy something sweet while walking around the city.“

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“Great homemade ice cream.Great assorted flavors.You won't be disappointed.“

“Great coffees and nice staff“

“Best Grapefruit ice cream ♥️“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“Excellent shave ice and ramen!“

“Very good and very satisfying“

“Most non-vegan ice cream shops offer basic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, or fruit sorbet—not Van Leeuwen. Although they did have two sorbet flavors (mango and strawberry), their ice cream flavors were Cookies and Cream, Strawberry Matcha Latte, and Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie. I had the latter as a milkshake—creamy, chocolatey, and full of little brownie bits that clogged up the straw in the best way possible. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-19“

“Awesome ice cream all flavors never disappointed always so good“

“I came in looking for something refreshing and the lady behind the counter was so nice! I think she said her name was Lynn or Linda. She welcomed me as soon as I walked in and when I told her I wanted something refreshing, she let me try a few different samples. The strawberry was definitely the winner for me. I honestly don't think I've ever had strawberry sorbet that tasted this good.
And to top it off she made my cone into a rose ❤ I had gotten some bad news earlier this morning, so something as simple as this really made my whole day a little better. Thank you so much for being so kind and for my beautiful rose!
I'll definitely be coming back to try the mango, coconut and passion fruit combination you told me about 🙏🏼“

“I had the Baileys Irish Cream flavor. So good. Nice place. Nice owners. Can taste any flavor before you decide what you want.“

“They will be closing Thanksgiving weekend“

“They have the best lemon ice cream 🍦🍦“

“I'm very impressed. I believe this is the best burger chain in the area. The burger concepts are tasty, and they don't go cheap on the meat. You can really taste the quality. Also, I enjoyed the friendly attitude of the father and son (presumably) who operate the place. A friendly attitude and good service is a great compliment to great food. For this reason, I am leaving a 5 star review. If you're looking for a good burger, I would come here.“

“It's has been many years since the last time I was at Applegate Farm. The ice cream was a family favorite and we live in Brooklyn, NY. My sister and I were not disappointed. Too many flavors of ice cream to name. However, what we had was very good.“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“
