50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Baldwin

“The employees have been welcoming and friendly at every visit. I get the same order every time but I've been charged varying prices. It has been brought to their attn but there's never really a solid explanation as to why the price changes every time.“

“This establishment checked all the stars and my kid (who’s a self-proclaimed taste tester) approved fully and gave it a “5 star”. It’s clean, inviting and for one person handling the customers (on this day), she was quick and on point. Word of advice “DONT LEAN ON THE GLASS” the sign really doesn’t help emphasize this enough!

“We can only do standard milk shake. We can not do less milk shake and add more ice cream to catch full cup. We can not do extra heavy milk shake. The milk shack will have some mix and water feeling. If you do not want any water feeling the carvelanche is better. We can only do regular milk shake. We can not make milk shake as carvelanche. We got a lot of bad reviews because this but they do not mentioned the issue but mentioned mistakes or some other things. Just want to explain we can only do standard milk shake. We can not make milk shake as carvelanche. Please order carvelanche if that is what you really need.“

“This is the cutest ice scream spot in this neighborhood. The owner is also super friendly and welcoming. We tried the waffle and crepes, which were freshly made upon ordering, and they were so delicious. Highly recommend coming here for a sweet treat.“

“Been coming here for years and every revisit is a reminder of how special this ice cream really is. I got the Coffee/ Dulce de Lecce twist with Marvel mix in a Waffle cone. This is a journey of an ice cream cone as it’s massive but worth every bite. Prices have stayed fair over the years too which is very nice. This ice cream holds so well and rarely drips making it easy to eat in the heat.“

“Highly recommend to anyone who loves Gelato.

They always have many flavors in stock and have seasonal flavors. As well as vegan gelato and sorbet. They also make crepes and delicious coffee.

The servers are always friendly and helpful, and the place is immaculately clean no matter how busy it gets. Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan and dairy free options available“

“My daughter and I happened upon this place and we were so happy we did! Chris (not sure if he was the owner or not) was super helpful since we have food allergies. He made my daughter a cotton candy milkshake which she absolutely devoured. I had a flavored coffee which was delicious. From the black and white checkered floor to the murals on the walls, the vintage looking tables and chairs to the fun gelato display case (which was nice and low for little ones to be able to choose from) the decorated garage door which let in so much light to the retro cola display fridge, everything was so well thought out and just a lot of fun. Kudos to them for a really great place, definitely go visit!“

“Guys, I have to share my experience at Let's Roll because it was wonderful. I don't really like ice cream (i know, that's crazy right?), but my husband and my kids always go to this place so I decided to try it. It's a super friendly place that's owned by a wonderful couple (Craig & Giselle, I think? I don't really know if that's how she spells it), but I never wanted to try the ice cream. Except today. I tried the passion fruit flavor - and my God, there's nothing like it! You really have to taste it - it's so yummy. And besides, the place is super family-friendly, with super nice people, such positive energy. I will be back soon. 5 stars for Let's Roll in Merrick!“

“Great ice cream and dessert experience. Staff is professional and helpful.“

“I had the best experience at Carvel today! My server-extraordinare Jessica gave me world-class service and kindly helped me pick out the perfect Fudgy the Whale cake! Def coming back! Her boss Amanda was stellar as well! Best Carvel in Nassau!“

“- "What a hidden gem! Michuacana exceeded my expectations with its rich flavors, generous portions, and warm service. I'll be back soon!

Kid-friendliness: Highly recommended for kids - "I've never seen such a diverse range of ice cream flavors! Michuacana's got it all, from fruity to nutty to decadent chocolate. The quality is top-notch, and I can't wait to try more!"“

“Favorite place to visit for a ice cold treat :) Quick service, always got my fav flavor in stock.“

“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“

“Great ices! Mango is my favorite❣️“

“I walked in to this beautiful establishment and I could not figure what out what I wanted. This establishment offers so many different types of choices it’s hard to keep up with all of them. I asked one of the employees what her favorite yogurt flavor was. When asked she said that she likes all of them and would love to help me to a sample. People like this with such kind attitudes make everyday life not as bad. Before leaving I made sure to leave a generous gift in the tip jar. Thank you Katilyn S have a great day.“

“love this place makes what ever you want“

“Great Stuff! Wonderful Service!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“I have visited this store unexpectedly, and I must admit, the staff’s were very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was very pleasant and extremely welcoming. This store is very tidy and make anyone feel they’re being treated right and they have a great selection of products to choose from.

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! Highly recommend.“

“Good place. Been coming here for almost 60 years. Love how it hasn't changed much“

“Only ice place in the nearby area. The menu is extensive so probably something for everyone! The tastes aren’t artificial or overly sweet. The ice cream is nicely done when you pair it with a water ice in one of their twisters. Super accessible with parking just outside and the fact that it’s just off the turnpike. A skosh pricey for what it is but not out of line with similar other places. Staff friendly and approachable.“

“I went there and there customer service was great such a cute spot even the bathroom was extremely cute definitely took some pictures the food was so good I made my own bubble waffle there prices were good and I’d definitely come back again if you are looking for a late night spot to get a treat you should definitely come here 10/10 recommend“

“It is a small spot but it has outdoor seating. I ordered the Tequila Sunrise and it was delicious. I also took home a pint of the Mango flavor and the Strawberry Sangria, both so good. In case you're with the kids, They do have a flavor without alcohol, it's vanilla.“

“A four for the ice cream which is always great But today I came in and no single Vanilla flying saucers. Loads of six packs. Refused to break up just one pack to six singles. I’m sure others would want a single after me. I’ll adjust this after owner sees and comments

Back again 2 weeks later. No single flying saucers. Time to knock of a star to 4 stars and not go back for a month. Going to Merrick Marvel now“

“My family and I finally had a chance to try La Carraia Gelateria tonight, and the entire experience was fantastic! The space is bright and clean, the owners were SO warm and welcoming, even taking the time to talk through the history of the store and the process/ingredients. The best part though was the gelato! Every flavor was incredible! There is such a noticeable difference in quality and taste! It is so refreshing to have a business run by genuinely warm and welcoming people (that just so happen to provide a delicious product!) like La Carraia Gelateria in the neighborhood! When you have a chance, support this new local business! You will not regret it!!! ❤“

“An absolute must try! Not your standard scoop of ice cream but a delightful mix that’s sort of part ice cream, part Italian ice, and part gelato with a huge array of homemade flavors. The prices are very good (especially for Long Island) and the product is phenomenal. Worth a trip out of your way to come here!

Parking: Linked number of spots in front of store, particularly on a busy day, but there is more parking in the side lot.“

“I was actually trying to go to the hamburger spot next door and saw this spot when looking for parking. There was a long line for the hamburger spot so I figured I'd get a small thing of ice cream to eat while we waited. I came here on a Saturday evening around 6pm and parking was hard to find. However, there was always someone leaving the lot.

There was no line for ice cream and staff was friendly. Credit cards are accepted. I decided on a small cup of soft serve chocolate ice cream (~$4) which was a good amount for one person. Full of flavor and very creamy. I would definitely return to try other menu items!“

“We came just as they were locking up for the night. The owner saw us walking away and called us back to the store, staying later just to assist us. He was super nice and let us try as many flavors as we wanted before making us a sundae and a water ice. Everything tasted so good! 10/10 experience and will be back soon!“

“The ice cream is just as amazing as the place looks inside! Honestly better than any Ralph’s Ive ever had. The pricing is so fair and the portions are huge!I got the Cookie Monster & double chocolate chip, and my boyfriend got vanilla chip & orange. We both LOVED them - I’m 100000% coming back here and wish I had visited sooner!

Parking: There’s spots in the front and a whole back parking lot behind the shopping center.

Kid-friendliness: Any kid would love the inside of this place!“

“Was very good. My grandson enjoyed his sundee. Nice and clean and very friendly“

“I ordered the rolled ice cream for my daughter’s birthday and we ordered the banana pudding flavor, the candy flavor and the Oreo flavored rolled ice cream. They were all very delicious. I highly recommend. You have options of toppings like cereal or chocolate chip or whipped topping etc and also for the type of syrup that you want on top .There are lots of toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to try them all?

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian type options from the plant based ice cream to the toppings eg, fruit loops, cookie crisps, dark chocolate chips etc

“Carvel ice cream cakes bring out the childhood nostalgia in me!I did not spend much time in store but the older gentleman who attended to me was super helpful. He made suggestions for best results before serving and offered to decorate the cake further for us.The cake was as I remembered and I was transported back to my childhood and savoured each mouthful.Carvel has my heart!“

“Gino was patient and took the time to explain to us all the different packages, in preparation for our wedding. After learning that my fiancé and I are both first responders, Gino extended his support and professionalism to us even more so! We are both looking forward to having him cater the dessert portion of our wedding, in addition to creating an unforgettable experience! Dolce and Gelato is the way to go!! Bravissimi!“

“Excellent front counter guy! Carvel has the best soft serve ice cream!“

“I walked in here accidentally and saw many people going in to buy it. My son said it should be delicious and bought two two-color cones. My son said it tasted very good, very pure and very large. The boss was very nice and the price was unexpected. Cheap, my son said he would come again“

“These cookies are delicious! We sampled them as a family this month and the Apple snickerdoodle was everyone's favorite! followed closely by the cookies and cream. soft, decadent and flavourful, Nicole really knows her stuff. Can't wait to order again next month!“

“Awesome place and such a friendly staff. This place has been around since 1985 ❤️“

“This is an iconic ice cream place. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cold refreshing treat. The line seemed long at first but we didn’t have to wait long at all. We got a vanilla cone with Marvel Mix sprinkles and a Leche flavored one. A must try!“

“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.“

“Great ice cream along with that old fashioned feel.“

“After ordering the stores internet went down and I didn’t have cash to pay. We tried doing an online order so I could pay for my food but that didn’t work either. I guess their internet was down. To my surprise, The worker was kind enough to give me the food without charge!! I’ve ordered food from here before, which is excellent and will continue to do so because of their generous hospitality. I will also pay it forward next time I’m at this restaurant!“

“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 !“

“***** (Five Star) Review - The hubby and I love the Hicksville Sweet Shop! It is such a warm and welcoming restaurant/ice cream shop – were everyone knows your name! We reserved a table for Valentines Day and had a wonderful meal consisting of crab cakes, fried shrimp, French fries, vegetables and, for dessert, fresh homemade strawberry shortcake – reservations are rarely needed! Homemade ice cream and chocolates are also delicious! I can honestly say I never had a bad meal at the Hicksville Sweet Shop! Thank you Eva, Phil, Harry, Walter, Alma, Jeannie & Clair❤️e!“

“This is my go to spot when I want to treat myself to some yummy yogurt. You are always greeted at the door, yogurt and topping stations are always clean and fresh. My flavor(White Chocolate Mousse) is always in stock and the flavor is consistent. I don't go anywhere else!!“

“This is long islands guilty pleasure. Love stoping by in a hot summer night for any flavor you are craving for“

“I bought a birthday cake here and it was delicious. For the cheap price, it fed 6 people. Come to this place for your ice cream and ice cream cake!! I highly suggest getting a scoop of strawberry ice cream do you do. The staff are nice and friendly towards all customers.“

“Yummy and refreshing Love the cisterns and the ice together!!!!!!“
