“Wow. Brand new, friendly, great business in a great neighborhood, Prospect Lefferts Garden. Would have been great if it was just good, but omg it is honestly the BEST ice cream I’ve had in Brooklyn. Awesome, creative new flavors every week. Yesterday’s was malted ice cream with chopped malted-milk balls. Also mint ice cream made with mint leaves. Another made with honey that also had some chili heat (forgot the name)—all amazing. Go now before you can’t get in.“

“It’s a must try, taste is great, different flavors of awesomeness“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“Very good flavorful ice cream with a small but unique set of flavors (8 with 2 vegan) such as Rose Hip, Poppy seed with lemon, Lavender earl grey etc. Decent prices ($5 for first+$3 per extra scoop), decent portions and they allow sampling. They have some seating outside the store. Definitely recommend.

The store is only open on Saturday and Sunday and around summer, so the product is definitely fresh and they make it in small batches. The flavors were real and you can easily see it in the scoops. It wasn't too sweet and the texture was reasonably smooth.

My favorite flavors were the rose hip and the poppy seed. Will definitely come back.“

“This company is "Authentic" Caribbean!“

“Unspeakably delicious food.

I’ve eaten here a few times, and every single dish I’ve tried is so beautifully prepared. The food here is fresh, boldly flavorful, full of love. The space is very beautiful and intimate, and the service is wonderful.“

“Stumbled upon this gem with some friends. To my delight, this place is fantastic.

I got the strawberry gelato and decaf cappuccino, though i tried my friends’ vanilla gelato and starberry milkshake. All were superb. I was not expecting such high quality.

I am an ice cream and milkshake enthusiast — and this would rate as one of the best.

The owner is also very sweet.

10/10!“

“Absolutely the best ice cream I've had in Brooklyn. So far, we've tried grape nut, guava, and Irish moss. All amazing. Are the staff going to gush over you? Maybe not, but they will give you excellent homemade ice cream at a very reasonable price and in a decent size. The guava tastes like fresh guava, and the Irish moss tastes like Christmas: so good.“

“Stopped by today with my son. We arrived five minutes before it opened. Although, it was our first time here, the staff was incredibly helpful and patient as my son made his selection. Our order was ready within a few minutes. The quality and taste blew me away. I look forward to returning often!

Kid-friendliness: The staff is very kind. My son who is 9 years old wanted to order from the menu by himself. The experience exceeded my expectations.

Wheelchair accessibility: This establishment is wheelchair accessible.
:)“

“Clean location, simple to read menu, and amazing service“

“the original one and only ice cream Italian ice stand way before Luigi way before Guido's a local favorite quality products made fresh“

“Best ice cream in Brooklyn. Both the boozy variety and the family friendly options.“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“The ice cream here is amazing!
I tried the vanilla and chocolate soft serve twist—so smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. You can keep eating it without feeling overwhelmed. The shop itself has a nostalgic, old-school vibe and is always busy with families and kids stopping by. If you’re in the neighborhood, this place is definitely worth a stop to cool down with a classic cone!“

“10/10. Best dessert spot in Queens hands down!!“

“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.“

“todo muy rico. las pastas . Los helados .todo“

“I have a sweet tooth and couldn't wait to try this place. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. Melanie served me, and she was nice. I tried a bunch of ice cream flavors, and I went with:

- Cookie au lait with brownie bites oreo chunk whipped cream
- Death by Chocolate Hot Chocolate (marshmallow fluff, Graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, and gold flakes)

I really loved the ice cream, and the hot coco was good but super sweet for the sweet lovers. All in all, I had a good experience!“

“This has to be one of the best-named ice cream stores I have ever encountered: inviting, memorable, potent. Those adjectives apply to its ice creams, too, which come in all sorts of intriguing flavors. The consistency leans toward the icier end of the spectrum, but that is nice sometimes, refreshing. I went with fried apple pie, and I did not regret it. Intriguingly, all the ice cream was pre-scooped, which makes it easy to grab and go. I hope they expand. We need this kind of invention in more places!“

“I frequent this location often with my children because my toddler LOVES their pistachio ice cream. She convinced me to try it and it really is that good. My favorite from this store is the coffee ice cream. Hits everytime. The store is very small but always looks clean. There’s not much organization when it comes to the line so they usually just ask “who’s next”. All workers that I’ve interacted with have been pleasant. I’ve never had a negative interaction with a worker so I’d say their customer service is great.

Parking: A lot of people double park. It’s paid metered parking and spots are usually taken.“

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

“My family and I come here often and we've been lucky enough that most times Joshua is there. Joshua has amazing customer service. Joshua is soo welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable if you have ice cream questions. This location can get busy during the summer however, it never seems to fluster Joshua. Joshua is always cheerful, calm, and and lovely under the pressure. I've also noticed that Joshua always makes our ice cream with lots of care. I've been to other locations where that is not the case.

Recently, I came and met Bella who was there with Joshua. Bella is another great addition to the team and I'm looking forward to thr next time I see either of them.“

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“Our recent private family birthday bash at Manducatis Rustica was wonderful! I can not thank Gianna enough for her time in planning the menu and offering to prepare anything my family likes. The food was delicious and abundant , the staff was attentive and kind, the tables were set beautifully. It was like being in my own home -warm and friendly without me doing all the work . I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !“

“Love this place the service is amazing the workers are so nice and friendly, the place inside is always super clean. As for the food and drinks are always so good and perfect 10/10 would recommend. Telling all my friends about this delicious hidden Gem ?!!“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“This location is very nice always clean,they are very friendly and pleasant here and always have all the flavors.
I was served by several times by Samantha who had always been helpful in selecting flavors, pleasant and takes great pride in serving the customers.
Best ice cream in Queens“

“All I can say is…AMAZING! Absolute BEST ice cream place around, hands down. Definitely going back again and again.“

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“Abbiamo frequentato il Santa Chiara Café durante la nostra vacanza a Manhattan. Conosciuto per caso è diventato la nostra tappa preferita per la colazione e non solo. Locale raffinato, pulito ed elegante, in pieno stile italiano con vista mozzafiato sullo skyline. Personale educato simpatico e competente. Cibo e bevande di una qualità top a prezzi moderati. Ma vogliamo raccontarvi di più. Al Santa Chiara Caffè tra i nostri preferiti: cornetti, crostate e piccola pasticceria…davvero eccellenti. Gelati artigianali cremosi e gustosi. Nulla è lasciato al caso, anche i nostri amici a quattro zampe erano super felici di fare colazione con i bellissimi biscottini per animali. Una menzione particolare per Enzo best omelettist in town. Last but not least, il proprietario Cristiano, gentile, educato, professionale, simpatico e generoso. Un posto da non perdere, infatti non vediamo l’ora di tornare…aspettateci! ****** English We bumped into Santa Chiara Cafe by chance and after it became our favourite place for breakfast but not only…it is clean and elegant in classic italian style with a great view towards the Manhattan skyline. The staff is nice, polite and very skilled. Food and drinks are top quality with modest price. However, we want to tell you more; favourite food, among the others, are croissants, tart and all the deliciuos small cakes. Not to mention the excellent homemade ice creams. Nothing is left to chance, also our pet friends were super happy to taste the eccellent cookies. Special mention to Enzo who makes the best omelette in town. Last but not least, the owner Cristiano: polite, kind, nice, professional and very generous. Highly reccomended place, not to be missed, we are looking forward to go back again…wait for us!“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“Still the best ice cream shop around with that old school nostalgic feel . .“

“Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks is my go to spot for a sweet treat, especially during the warmer months. With over 60 flavors, there’s truly something for everyone, from classic water ices to rich creme options.

Personally, I think their crème ices are the way to go cause of the smooth, flavorful, and totally nostalgic. Whether you’re into fruity, chocolatey, or somewhere in between, they’ve got you covered.

The service at this location is great. Friendly and efficient, even when the lines get long during peak summer hours. The ambiance is very relaxed, but just keep in mind that there’s no seating, it’s strictly takeout.

Also, note that this Ralph’s is seasonal, so make sure to get your fix while it’s open!

If you’re in the area and craving something cold and sweet, Ralph’s never disappoints“

“When it's empty it's heaven!...

Vegetarian options: Sweets and ice creams, I don't think that can be a problem...

Kid-friendliness: Sure, but it's always better to go there in rather empty times.“

“A great addition to the “Burg” & David, remember my name Irwin Friedman & Son Inc. For all your plumbing needs, I’m located around the corner from you on Banker St. Been serving the area for 100 years! We are Williamsburg’s #1 Grateful Plumbers (718) 782-7150“
