50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dix Hills

“Everyone who grows up on Long Island knows that Ralph's Ices is a staple. All of the locations are excellent, but this one right here takes it to the next level. Recently renovated, super clean and very efficient.

The staff goes above and beyond offering a seemingly endless array of tastings and flavors (Kudos to Maddy for being the best). The drive-thru is so convenient, they offer ice cream & soft serve as well, and they even have a candy bar! Cannot recommend enough.“

“was awesome, 1st time there“

“Unique and fun experience! Delicious ice cream and friendly workers! Will definitely be back!! Coram location“

“Great spot, total hidden gem. I come in here time to time and their gelato is fantastic. My two favorites are the pistachio and rainbow cookie gelato ?.. they also have a nice selection of pastries / cakes. If you have a sweet tooth the cannoli creme filled lobster tails were amazing as was the rainbow cookie cheese cake! Last but not least they have a wide range of offerings as far as coffee & espresso!“

“If you want a place to go eat with dirty hands this is the one! Bathroom is always closed but there’s an alley not too far away. You can tell management really cares about the customer experience when they keep the bathroom closed from customers. And they even have tables, that alone would be a health department violation(tables without a working bathroom) but who has time to call them anyway? I think the stuff here is delicious but it could also be the flavor from the last customer on the door handle so who knows?“

“Ana at Bay Shore Coyle's did an amazing job with our birthday cake. She was very thorough and made sure all the details were right and went above and beyond to make us the cake we wanted. Thanks again Ana for all your help and making this birthday memorable.“

“I figured I would try this place out as they are one of the few places where I can find any coconut flavors. I got a medium cup of ice cream for$6.50 (includes tax). You get 3 scoops. I got coconut, toasted coconut, and chocolate lovers. It was amazing and worth the price which I can't say for other places. I would recommend giving this a try, There is lots of seating and the workers were pleasant.“

“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! ♥️“

“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.“

“great homemade ice cream, must try 🍦“

“Purchased this beautiful unicorn cake yesterday! It’s so freaking cute & was delicious! I tried the strawberry soft serve which was dairy free & made with oat milk. It was ok for what it was. Don’t think I’d purchase that one again. They did have about 4-5 options that were dairy free & cannot wait to try those next! Zhao helped us (as per the receipt) & she was so kind & gave phenomenal service. Very quick too. The store itself was so clean & they had a ton of options as far as cakes go and even the frozen ice cream section. Will definitely come back again & again ?

Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free frozen options & dairy free options for soft serve & regular scoop ice cream.“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“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.“

“My favorite place in Kings Park! We try and get our ice cream with their black cherry topping as often as possible. It is a challenge since we live in NH.“

“Love the atmosphere- they have fresh ices and ice cream- possibly too many choices - line moves fast . Staff is friendly and efficient. Store is clean . The sell cute merch too

Dietary restrictions: They have non cream ices which my boyfriend loves“

“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!!“

“Today I was walking by an Alkemy store, and through the glass, I saw two girls working on an ice cream machine that was billowing out white smoke. It looked so cool! The girls were really pretty, super cute, and just so nice. When they saw me taking a picture, they even waved at me and smiled. I was pretty busy today and didn't have time to stop and grab a bite, but I definitely need to go back and try their ice cream next time!“

“They are 3 Sisters and A Lovely Brother who I believe all work full time 9-5 elsewhere. The ice cream Is good but they Charge me way way more the The Udall rd west islip or The Howells rd one and they are so stingy it's Kind of sad because I try to support omw there now but quantity needs to change. Clean STORE Is a plus.“

“Loved my candied nut popcorn !!! Ice cream is amazing too. And awesome customer service 👍🏼“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“Have been going to this location for about 5 years and at least twice a week in peak season. The woman who is always there is the absolute best, I think she is the manager but she is a sweetheart and has the patience of a saint with the crazy customers. She does a beautiful job keeping the location spotless and makes sure my family’s order is handled quickly. Everything we get there is always delicious!“

“This is probably my top 2 favorite ice cream place (my other fave is sugar hill creamery). SO MANY FLAVORS!! Amazing sundaes, the staff has always been incredibly kind, they literally warm up a brownie to crumble on the Sunday without asking (not a great example but you get the point), I absolutely love it here.

Vegetarian options: It’s ice cream lol

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids! Lots of options for the adventurous and the picky.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps! The door is not automatic, you have to pull it, but there are no steps and it is easy to order from a wheelchair“

“TCBY Yogurt of East Northport offer both frozen and soft yogurt and ice cream, WE brought he grandkids and they just loved it. The love all the topping choices. The place is small but has a great selection of choices. It has a couple of tables. A good change from all the other ice cream places.“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

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

“Wow! Blown away by service and the tasty gelato- I’ve been on the hunt for over ten years for a gelato even close to what you can get in Europe and this is the best I’ve found!
Dana was so kind especially with my sons. Thanks for a great experience we’ll definitely be back!“

“it's Carvel, nuff said 🙂🍦🍦🍦🙂“

“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!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Me and my colleagues stopped at carvel and man oh man was that ice cream absolutely scrumptious this location in particular is amazing! The girl w the bun is the nicest girl you'll ever meet plain and simple and sweet like the treats also how does she get her bun like that crazy!!! Very nice people who own this and great staff“

“Fast service“

“Absolutely spectacular service all around. I came in with a nut allergy, and even though it was packed, Josie and Cira were there to help me pick out flavors while being cautious of my allergies. I would recommend this place out of anywhere else in Huntington. Very clean, classy, respectful, and great service!“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Like walking into a cafe in Italy! Best panini I ever had in my life, seriously. So many to choose from, all amazing! Salads are very tasty and generous portions. Service is quick and very friendly staff. You might even get a chance to learn some Italian from the very friendly owner, Nino!“

“Everything on the brubch board we ordered for a communion was delicious! It was delivered on time and was beautifully presented. I would order it again and again.“

“Delicious Martinis!! Looking forward to going back for more.“

“Great place“

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

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“Good location both for driving and walking. There's enough parking in the back and on street that it shouldn't be an issue.The ices are what you'd expect from any Ralphs.The service was good although when I went there was only one girl working but luckily it wasn't busy.“

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

“Owner is really friendly! I ordered a birthday cake and emailed him a jpg to put on the top (a cartoon image with my kid's name on it). He had great suggestions for the color of the icing to complement the graphic. Easy and smooth transaction, clean business, and the cake came out perfect!“

“Ralphs Italian Ices are always great. It was on the visit bucket list since my kids have never had them. As always the food was great. The staff, not so much. They seemed bothered by us being there, and both seemed to be having a miserable day. In the end, we got what we went for, spent some time as a family, and enjoyed our snack after a very tough day saying goodbye my mother-in-law.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Best Ralph's around hands down! The owners & staff ROCK!!“

“Nice place that needs a lot of improvement in food preparation, cocktails, etc. Everything was just OK, nothing to write home about. An example is serving the burrata ice cold. Huge portions provided a lot of take home! Service was very good. Nothing really special enough to make us want to return.“
