50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Brooklyn

“Maravilhoso!“

“I had the the A-La-Mood warm lava cake with 2 scoops of ice cream(Better Pecan & Vanilla) yummy. Be ready to be indecisive because all flavors are delish. You’ll want order a few scoops🍦🍨❤️😋“

“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.“

“Delicious and so happy they have vegan coconut so my whole family can enjoy!“

“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.“

“Huge selection of board games. Catan, Wingspan, Coup, Heat, Betrayal, Exploding Kittens to name a few of my favorites that I saw. Shout out to Aron for suggesting some new stuff and chatting with me about pokemon he knows his stuff, super friendly! Also alot of tgc being magic and Pokemon alot of the new sets too. Good vibes and energy here.“

“Great place for families.“

“A fabulous and delicious dining experience in Brooklyn! If you want food that has depth of flavor as well as refined technique in an environment that is warm and welcoming please check out this restaurant! Good for date night or just hanging out with a group of your friends! Highly recommend everything on this menu!“

“We visited around 9:10 PM and there was a small line but it moved pretty fast so we were able to get in at about 9:25 PM. The service was quick and they had interesting flavors. The ice cream was really flavorful but what was even better was the service. Props to the workers!!🩷🩷“

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“The price is genuinely worth it. This is possibly the best ice cream I’ve had — I have to actively resist buying a cup whenever I pass a store. There are so many perfectly balanced, flavorful options and their vegan options are equally delicious.“

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

“Went for brunch! The food was fantastic..especially the roasted potatoes and banana bread. The staff was so friendly!! Loved it!“

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

“Best ice cream and desserts ever!!!“

“If you want a place to make your ice cream dreams come true. I says that is the place no matter what season you’ll find it.“

“The Best Thai-Food anywhere...#Period“

“real old fashioned goodness!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I love this little ice cream shop. Feels very nostalgic and vintage. I didn't even get a strange look from the cashier when I asked if small was the smallest size they had. I fully knew it was a weird question, but she was very nice about it. Recommend the galactic ube flavor. I was skeptical of it being made from yams, but just trust me on this one (as a stranger from the internet that you'll probably never meet).“

“mmmmmm. carrot halva delicious!“

“Delicious for every age ❤️“

“Fruitti Yummi frozen yogurt is sooo good. There aren’t a large variety of fro-yo flavors, but they have all the solid ones here, and a large array of toppings.It is a self-serve location (and they’re covid conscious), providing you with gloves and hand sanitizer to use before serving yourself. I liked that, it made you feel as though the establishment cares about keeping covid at bay.The place is squeaky clean by the way. Everything is tidy, the machines are clean (been to some spots with dirty ones), and the area for toppings was so perfectly organized that me and my boyfriend barely wanted to touch it lol.There was one young lady at the register over-seeing everything, who gave us a friendly greeting when we came in, so that was nice.Other than that there’s not too much to say about a frozen yogurt spot, but this is definitely one of the better locations. You can tell the difference in the quality of flavor, so I highly recommend stopping by.“

“Delicious. Incredible. Life changing. A must try for frozen yogurt fanatics everywhere. Not sure if the fact that it’s Greek yogurt makes it any healthier of a dessert, but it made me feel less guilty for indulging that’s for sure! I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area for a nice, refreshing little sweet treat.“

“Only place in New York that has real Slush Puppies - officially the most refreshing and nostalgic experience I could ask for. Please never get rid of this machine and I will always be a customer at Breeze Cafe (the lemon lime is exactly how I remember it!)“

“very great ice cream I recommend“

“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!“

“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.“

“I needed a cake for my son's birthday and instead of having me come back the next day, it was done in 30 minutes! Thanks for the rushed order! My son will be very happy once he sees it tomorrow 😊. This is just the photo because I'm hiding the cake at his grandma's house, but it looks exactly like the pic“

“The flavors are so yummy. If you are in Red Hook, you should definitely stop here for some dessert 😋“

“The ice cream is excellent, but they need to bring back bread and roses. ;)“

“I just left 'haagen dazs' and I’m still floating on a waffle‑cone cloud! 🍦. The dulce de leche is the stuff of legends, the service is warm and super speedy, and the mint chip makes every lick feel like a mini‑vacation. If you’re hunting for the ultimate ice‑cream spot in the city, this is it—no doubt, five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Very nice,friendly. Tasty flavors and many choices to choose from.“

“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.“

“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 live in Toronto and was looking for a gift for my orthodox friend who lives in Crown Heights. I was referred to this business and I’m very happy with my experience. They made it very easy to order my selection of nuts and the presentation was beautiful. We communicated over WhatsApp and a phone call and the process was very easy. They were also very accommodating in terms of my friend’s food preferences. I’m so happy that I was referred to this business.“

“Ive been coming here since it opened, the food is very good and its good for both large groups or if you just want to sit and have a beer and and a couple of tacos. I recommend the tacos gobernadores and if you’re here for brunch the enchiladas jarochas are great.“

“Great flavors and options. Large scoop size!“

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

“Great spot, some would even say a Legendary spot in this area. I've only recently tried them out, but I see why they have such a strong clientele. The Strawberry cheese cake Ice cream is like no other, it's to die for. Go and try'em out“

“Came here for a late night sweet treat and was not disappointed. They had a wide variety of flavors and I went with a seasonal variety called cinnamaple. They offer toppings as well.
I enjoyed the ice cream and enjoyed the environment.
They have new late night hours.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! This has now become my spot. I ate the 2 scoops so fast I forgot the flavors lol. I had one scoop with coconut and the other scoop was chocolate fudge & peanut butter. Did I mention it was delicious? I should add that I haven’t pulled off in my car after eating it. I had to leave this review first. Highly recommend!!“

“yum! unlimited samples...very nice sundae for the birthday boy!“

“This was the most delicious bowl of Bun rice vermicelli salad I've ever had. Perfect balance of noodles, herbs (mint AND basil, not or!), sprouts, cukes, and delicious pan seared beef. All in abundance, topped with a generous helping of crispy fried shallots. Highly recommend.“
