13 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.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“Very interesting concept and glad I tried it! We love mochi so the idea of this shop is great. We went with the matcha because it wasn’t overly sweet and had a nice earthy flavor without being bitter. The mochi was wrapped around the scoop of ice cream adding a textural element to the experience.“

“Fast and easy to order! My mom got the Spice Mango Shandy and I got the Mojito Creamsicle. Very well executed. The price is definitely worth for what you get. Next time, I’ll order the flights when it’s more sunny and got more room to drink.“

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

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

“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.“

“I accidentally found this gelato spot while walking, and it’s a masterpiece. The interior is clean, simple, and neat. The gelato display is especially unique and eye-catching, with a look that reminds you of chocolate or cotton candy. The staff were very kind, and the overall atmosphere—The vibe here is unmatched; the floor tiles and the music genuinely made me feel like I was sitting in a charming Italian village. The gelato tasted fresh and good.“

“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.“

“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.“
