“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.“

“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!“

“This company is "Authentic" Caribbean!“

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

“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.“

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Emack & Bolio's in Long Island City is an ice cream haven with rock 'n roll vibes. The Cookie Monster and The Original Oreo are must-tries. Vintage posters and friendly staff add to the charm. ??“

“This place is a hidden gem in Williamsburg! It’s such a cute and cozy spot for Gelato and smoothies. Coffees are also served. The gelato was delicious! Great music and atmosphere. They even have a vinyl player, which I briefly played with. They have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.“

“Pro tip: Get all the soft serve twists!! Literally every single flavor is a must try. Couldn’t pick a favorite and the best part about it… I didn’t need to limit myself to just one. How often can you get horchata, mango, pistachio, raspberry, vanilla, and chocolate in one soft serve cup? Dreamery BK lives up to its name. It is a dreamy spot in Brooklyn with cute knick knacks and people all around.“

“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!“

“The Green LIC in Astoria is an absolute must-visit if you're into healthy, fresh, and delicious treats. Their açaí bowls are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had—super fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly portioned for the price. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

Their gelato is another standout—so creamy and rich, it’s hard to believe it’s from a spot that also serves juices and smoothie bowls! Speaking of which, their juices are always fresh and refreshing.

The space is also spotless and welcoming, with a clean, colorful vibe that makes you feel good about what you're eating. I highly recommend The Green LIC to anyone looking for a tasty and healthy spot in the neighborhood!“

“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“

“il vero gelato italiano, il migliore gelato in assoluto! Un'eccellenza!“

“The rolls were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. What made the visit even better was the service—Sam was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“HI, EDDIES IS BY FAR THE BEST ICE CREAM SHOP IN ALL OF NYC!! NOTHING COMPARES, NOTHING. THE FLAVORS ARE SPOT ON, GENEROUS PORTIONS, GREAT STAFF. NO WONDER ITS BEEN OPEN FOR 100 YEARS. WENT TO ICE CREAM SHOPS IN MANHATTAN, GOOD ICE CREAM BUT NOTHING LIKE EDDIES!! A DEFINATE MUST VISIT FOR ANY ONE, JUST CALL BEFORE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OPEN, SOMETIMES HAS STRANGE HOURS. BUT WELL WORTH A VISIT, I GIVE IT TEN STARS!!!!“

“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 !“

“I really love my ice cream and I like Carvel a lot. This is the best location and every time I’m in New York. I make sure to go here because no other Carvel has the same consistency as this location not sure why winter or summer highly recommend you get a chocolate vanilla swirl on a cone“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The best ice cream shop in Brooklyn! The atmosphere is wonderful and Kate, the owner, is absolutely amazing. The Screen Door is truly a gem.“

“Friendly staff and great service. Delicious! Definitely going back again.“

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

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“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.“

“Great Mexican treat!! ♥️ Los busqué de un video y vine a apoyar!“

“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!“

“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“
