50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Babylon

“Fun visit getting ice cream and candy! Very pleasant and helpful staff! We will be back!“

“Great“

“Babylon Kilwins has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere with an amazing staff who are always welcoming and attentive. The ice cream is rich and creamy, made with quality ingredients, and the fresh waffle cones make it even better. The overall experience is consistently enjoyable and keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!“

“They keep a pretty large staff on hand. And they still get busy with a line to or past the door. Come at a smart time and your in and out. The ice cream is great and the workers put the effort in. All the cold stones are good but I keep coming to this one“

“I arrived at insomnia cookies in Babylon. It was in the aftermath of the St Patrick’s day parade. It was very very busy, however they took our order very quickly. I was waiting for my cookies for quite a while due to the volume of customers within. I didn’t mind the long wait, I had myself a beautiful date with me, however, the manager, I believe he was the manager, took this very seriously and provided me with 5 FREE red velvet cookies in compensation for my wait time. I didn’t even have to about the wait. He just saw that I was here waiting for a long time and took it upon himself to make it right. You don’t see that sort of thing a lot in today’s world. My first bite was heaven. I’m not not normally a fan of red velvet, but free is for me, so I gave it a shot. 12/10 if I could rate above 5 stars I would. If you’re thinking about taking walk down to this cookie parlor; think no more, and get yourself a couple of these exceptional cookies. Amazing service, amazing flavor.“

“We hired Hostess with the Mostess for our engagement party. I cannot recommend this company enough. We ordered a cheese board that was beautiful and an amazing seafood tower. Every single person was talking about how polite, knowledgeable, and professional the griller and shucker were. We will definitely be using this company for every event.“

“This place is amazing been going here since I was a kid I'm 50 now wouldn't get ice cream any other place got to check this place out“

“Coyle's of Bayshore always delivers a wonderful ice cream experience. All of the employees are cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Anna, the manager, has created a welcoming and family-feeling environment. To top it all off, all of their ice cream is homemade on premises, and you simply can't find better. This place is a must-visit for any ice cream fan; my family travels all the way from Huntington for it!!!“

“Been here a few times now, and now that i moved to NC I was back for the holidays, I decided to take my uncle tonight and wow wow wow it never disappoints. As soon as I walk in, im almost brought to tears because it feels like home. *cues Frank Sinatra* youre greeted as soon as you walk in, everybody having warm BUT LOUD;) italian conversations at the little tables. I asked the woman which gelato she preferred and she said amaretto cookie, and so I said okay ill that one:) ! And the boss/owner intercepted and said, everyone has their own taste and took it upon himself to scoop a sample of it and I like how despite how everybody is in the fast lane and next next next (outside this place) he took the moment to go above and beyond and thats the italian way. It made me smile. Amongst the decadent gelato, the ambiance, the hospitality is what puts the cherry on top. And btw my uncle said a lot of the gelatos hes had have been ice chips but this one, perfecto. Dolce far niente. Like sitting in the car, together, reunited for the holidays, enjoying gelato. Tasting the gelato, but more, tasting a memory far richer than I could've asked.“

“As always they went above and beyond making my moms vision come true! When asked what type of wedding cake do I want— 1,000,000% ICE CREAM! Thank you for your beautiful and special touches! ♥️“

“Ralph's is a Long Island summer classic for as long as I can remember, and the Lindenhurst location does the name proudly! They have enough flavors of water and cream ices and ice cream that could make your head spin, and they are always adding more. My personal favorites are graham cracker, PB&J, jelly ring, and you can't go wrong with the classics like strawberry or rainbow too. An easy crowd pleaser to bring a bucket along to any BBQ! The girls behind the counter have always been friendly and helpful. Parking in the attached lot can be a lot tight to get in and out of, but luckily it's off the side road and you don't need to worry about Montauk Highway as much.“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“What a wonderful place to indulge! Jess took very good care of us. Very sweet, personable, and added to our positive experience. We chose a vanilla raspberry chocolate ice cream shake. The best flavored shake we've ever enjoyed! We wound up going back 2 weeks later to enjoy it again. We'll definitely be visiting here again and again.. They have plenty of seating and a bathroom on site for customers. Definitely recommend checking them out!.“

“If there was an option for ten stars, I'd rate this place ten stars across the board! EVERY time I go to this location in Bay Shore, I'm so impressed on how spotless the whole place is. The one lady & man (he's usually in the back unless a few customers come in) that are always there are so nice. The lady is constantly cleaning up after herself after everything she makes. You can see that they work hard & appreciate the business. They give excellent customer service & I HIGHLY recommend this Carvel!



Parking: Because there are other merchants in the same plaza, parking isn't always so good.“

“Nowhere else like it. Best ice cream and service you’ll find in the area.“

“This store is the best of the best I’ve been to many Carvel‘s and this one is courteous help you whatever you need always fills too to the max. They don’t short change you I went to one on you Road cheated me out of three dollars. These are honest people that are hard-working and just always go out of their way to help you“

“We went there a few times. The staff is very welcoming and the goal of the employees is to make their customers feel comfortable. The frozen yogurt especially the birthday cake one is so delicious on a warm spring day! Coming back soon with the family!“

“Fast service“

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“I’m amazed-really great service. Friendly staff. Even though the place was hopping, these servers really did a fantastic job and kept smiles on their faces. Bravo Friendlys!!“

“It’s not just Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel .. any day is great for a Sundae ! Was given a sample cup of the Strawberry Soft Serve because I said I had never had it before .. it was amazing. Had my favorite on this night though .. Chocolate ice cream with Strawberry topping and whipped cream on top. Great service here !“

“I can’t say enough good things about Kool Kat Ice Cream Truck! I reached out to treat my daughter and her friends at her small school, and while other places turned me down because it was a small order, Kool Kat happily said yes. They made these kids so unbelievably happy! The man who came was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to make sure every child got exactly what they wanted. All of the teachers and staff kept thanking me and raving about how wonderful he was. Such a simple gesture turned into a really special memory for the kids thanks to Kool Kat. Highly recommend!“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“My whole family loves Carvel Ice Cream!!! Sundaes on Wednesday’s are a must in our house! And it’s not a real birthday without Carvel ice cream cake! This Carvel Store location in Massapequa Park is our family’s favorite ice cream shop of all time! Best ice cream EVER!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I have been told Carvel is the best icecream around Long Island and from what I've seen and experienced it really is amazing!
This location has this old school ice cream parlor feel! The staff are very friendly and very professional!
The shop was super clean and well laid out! There was wide selection of cakes, soft serve ice creams and hard ice cream!
When we requested our orders the service was quick and friendly!
I highly recommend getting the Triple Chocolate Brownie hard ice cream!“

“We recently had a shower at Zuzu at Crossbarn East and it was absolutely incredible! The room is so big and spacious, it has a beautiful setup with an area for photos. The food was delicious and everything moved so smoothly from the beginning of the planning process to the party! We are so thankful to have found this location and definitely would like to come back for dinner and if we have another party. Thank you again!“

“Recently, I came in and placed a large, last-minute order for a catering party that I had forgotten to arrange ahead of time. I ordered several cups of soft serve ice cream and sundaes. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, upbeat, and ready to help. They handled my order quickly and professionally while keeping a friendly attitude that made the experience easy.
They made sure every cup looked great and were very generous with the toppings not skimping at all. I was impressed that they even waived the charge for one topping because the cup was already filled to the top. Their attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to help turned a rushed situation into a pleasant one. I left feeling relieved and impressed, and my guests loved how everything looked and tasted. Outstanding service!“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“The Gelato was delicious! Everyone loved it. Thank you Charlie!!“

“Absolutely loved our visit to Häagen-Dazs! The staff were super friendly and helpful — shoutout to ZIYA for her excellent service! Every item we tried was amazing: the berry smoothie was refreshing, and the sundaes were beautifully made and full of flavor. The whipped cream was perfectly fluffy, the toppings were generous, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and great service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍦🍒🍓🍫🍌“

“Great place“

“Love this place. We always try to stop in when we visit family on the island. Would have given it 5 stars, but they didn't have the flavor that I painstakingly waited 6 months for. You let me down Ralph. My puppy enjoyed his treat though. We'll def be back.“

“Would be a 5 but there are no public bathrooms which seems sketchy to me because I thought all dine in establishmentts (they had seating prior to COVID) had to provide bathrooms. Prices compared to portions is insane but that's just the times we live in.“

“Best Gelato, Espresso, and Cappuccino around“

“Booked a birthday party. Service very good and so was the ice cream 🍦😊“

“Delicious frozen yogurt!🍦🍨“

“Always happy to go there. Staff is always helpful and nice.“

“Cheap ice cream 10$ for a quart. Milkshakes are huge and painful but tasty. Not only is it a place you can eat inside and it shouldn't be full. It's a place where you can pick up and go.

Vegetarian options: Ice cream is pretty vegitarian if I do say so myself.

Parking: WAY TOO MANY PARKING SPOTS

Kid-friendliness: What's more friendly than a fricking sugar field day store“

“As a frequent visitor to TCBY, I can confidently say that each visit continues to exceed expectations with its consistently high-quality offerings, welcoming ambiance, and exceptional service. The frozen yogurt is always luxuriously smooth and perfectly balanced between rich and refreshing, with flavors like white chocolate mousse and birthday cake remaining personal favorites. The toppings bar is thoughtfully curated, offering a wide array of fresh fruit, gourmet sauces, and crunchy mix-ins that allow for endless customization. The staff are consistently courteous, attentive, and efficient, which contributes to the inviting and well-managed atmosphere. TCBY’s commitment to excellence, both in product and service, is why I return time and time again—and why I never hesitate to recommend it to others.“

“This place has great service and great variety. People who claim that the employees are not wearing gloves needs something to do with their lives the employees are not touching the ice with their hands, they use scoops. Complain about something legit.“

“Muy delicioso todo, y mucha variedad!“

“I am not one to write reviews typically but I felt obligated to after visiting this Carvel the other day. Not only is the ice cream fantastic as it always is at Carvel but the service is impeccable at this location. The blonde girl behind the counter was incredibly polite and helpful. She had a smile on her face the entire time she was serving my group and even though it was super busy, she made our ice cream wonderfully and efficiently. Would highly recommend and whoever is running that Carvel ought to give that girl a raise because she deserves it! Bravo!“

“This is a small place. 2 stools inside to sit on but a bunch of plastic chairs outside, if you don't mind eating 2 feet from the parking lot. The staff was very nice and the ice cream was fantastic (and very well priced). I will definitely be back.“

“Amazing açaí bowls♥️🤤 forever will go here for açaí bowls“

“My husband and I have been here a few times and its always been a good time. We went a few days ago and the man working greeted us warmly and gave us time to look and decide what we wanted with zero pressure. Our order was accurate and tasted great, just like the few things we picked out from the freezer. This will be our go to for ice cream, it was perfect!“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Great option for individual serving.“

“The staff is the absolute best - attentive - kind - patient - efficient and downright friendly 😎🤩 The food is the best diner food in Massapequa and all of LI - for sure. THEN THE ICE CREAM IS HOME MADE CREAMY MOUTHWATERING AND UNSTOPPABLE DELICIOUS 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Joel“

“I used Twistee Freeze for my wedding as an "Exit Station" and the were amazing.Communication was great, the driver was very nice and the truck even matched our wedding colors (completely coincidental)I will use them again for any future events and will recommend to anyone who needs an ice cream truck to show up!“
