12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Astoria

“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!“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“My favorite spot for an acai bowl! The owner and the staff are always so sweet and welcoming. I’m obsessed with the Stella nutella bowl. Also the portion sizes are good and actually fill you up. Their gelato is a hidden gem too!
Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. It’s become my favorite post workout reward. Highly recommend 💚“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“I had an amazing experience at Tipsy Scoop! The concept is super unique, alcohol infused ice cream that actually tastes incredible. The flavors are rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced… you can really taste the quality.
The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and helpful with recommendations. Whether you’re going for a date night, hanging with friends, or just want to try something different, this place is a must.
Everything was fresh, the presentation was on point, and honestly, it’s one of those spots you keep coming back to. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots now!
Highly recommend checking it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Yummy ice cream, the pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and dolce de leche was 💣“

“We loved this spot! It just opened. We got the matcha gelato with mochi wrap. So delicious. I got the small but recommend getting the large to have a better proportion of gelato to mochi. The staff was so nice and gave us coins to play the claw machines! They have lots of other sweets. Such a great new spot!“

“When I first visited Ample Hill, my family and I were blown away. The ice cream was phenomenal - it was unique, creative, and delicious. We faithfully tried all locations and looked forward to trying the special flavor that each location had. Then there was some sort of business deal that went wrong. Something happened. A deal fell through or something. When things settled something was off. The ice cream is still excellent but there is a lack of intimacy now. We still love it but it isn’t the same.“

“Great spot for Gelato Ice cream. We really enjoy the pistachio, biscoff, dulce de leche, and espresso ice cream. 🍦 I think this store is open all year long and even on cold days we will still come here and get a couple scoops of ice cream. Just a heads up the gelato ice cream is a little sweeter and richer than regular. However with that being said there is usually a higher price for that. Be prepare to spend around $10 for cone or cup. But I highly recommend 🍨🍧“

“first time trying ice cream at this baskin-robbins. I went for the reese’s peanut butter cup, but surprisingly didn’t love it, even though I’m a big fan of reese’s. Pralines ‘n cream, though? So good! I’ll definitely be back to try more. The staff was friendly and had a great sense of humor - made the visit even better.“

“Reasonably priced with great options and nice service ^_^“

“Delicious ice creams, we love the combinations they make. If you want an ice cream that will make you as happy as a child, don't miss out on coming and enjoying them. The staff is very friendly, the prices are very good, and the service is excellent.“
