“You don’t have to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 to taste the best and authentic Italian gelato in the city. Venchi is my favorite place if I’m craving for something sweet. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Todo lo que halla jajajaja muy rico“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Place is awesome, and love their gelatos and sorbets. My mom loves the Fuji Apple flavored sorbet“

“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.“

“All of the soft serve is amazing but i hella enjoyed their Woodside today! Ube with mochi and toasted coconut flakes was perfection!“

“The Best burguer i tasted 😍“

“Maravilhoso!“

“This place offers around nine types of vegan gelati, including water-based (sorbets) and almond milk-based gelati. The gelati is excellent and very tasty. My one complaint is that they don't allow you to have just one scoop: two scoops is the minimum (for around $9); since the gelato was very filling, one scoop would actually do fine.“

“ 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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Pamina is a fantastic spot for authentic Italian gelato in New York. The flavors are rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, with high-quality ingredients that really stand out. The pistachio is a must-try! Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommended!“

“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. 😃“

“Tried the new Woodbridge location twice now and WOW! The Rocky Road and Chocolate were out of this world. We will definitely be repeat customers.“

“It's just ok as far as gelato goes. This is a chain and the gelato itself is just run of the mill. The ordering system is pretty efficient though and the gelato still tastes good it's just not so good that I want to keep going back. I'd go if I happened to be in the area because it's gelato!“

“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.“

“I first discovered Van Leeuwen Ice Cream while exploring Hudson Yards 🍦✨ — one taste and I was instantly hooked. Creamy, indulgent, and creative with flavors that balance classic comfort and playful twists. It quickly became one of my favorite sweet stops in the city. 🌆💖

Their recent pink ice cream collab with Ed Sheeran was such a fun touch 🎶🍓💗 — proof that they’re not afraid to innovate while keeping quality top-notch. For anyone with a sweet tooth, Van Leeuwen is a must-try New York treat that never disappoints. 🙌🌸“

“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!“

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

“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! 🍨✨“

“Stopped by and had a strawberry green tea. Best of luck, guys.“

“it was good“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“very clean, easy flow for checkout“

“The food here is unbelievably delicious. We have tried all the panipuri spots around the street on the same day. Desi adda was the best. Their vadapav and secret menu items is another thing you have to try. They make everything from scratch fresh.

The service is one of the best ever. They care for the customer and their opinions.

They recently started Paan. What a treat that is… you have not had paan till you try their different types of paans.

Come here if you are true foodie … if you are “into food” for Instagram ..go somewhere else ..“

“Thank you for having cruelty free ice cream options.“

“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….“

“Great ice cream and a great eating experience“

“Such good ice cream rolls! We got the matcha flavor and it was delicious, super creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet. Fun to watch them make the rolls right in front of you too. Definitely worth stopping by if you like matcha or rolled ice cream!
Staff here are super kind!!! The best!!!“
