50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dix Hills

“This location was renovated in the last couple of years and has maintained the cleanliness well! This location has a drive-through, spacious parking lot and outdoor seating. They have a full menu as this is a standalone location. We have had the doughnados, mint madness milkshake, all of the cream and regular ices are always fresh.“

“This place is amazing been going here since I was a kid I'm 50 now wouldn't get ice cream any other place got to check this place out“

“Best ice cream in the game. The kids there are always awesome. Super friendly the ice cream has the perfect blend of ice and cream. It’s so creamy and icey that it just makes you so warm and fuzzy inside even though it’s cold. Love cold stone. Speshally this spot for real for real.“

“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?“

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

“Coyle's of Bayshore always delivers a wonderful ice cream experience. All of the employees are cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Anna, the manager, has created a welcoming and family-feeling environment. To top it all off, all of their ice cream is homemade on premises, and you simply can't find better. This place is a must-visit for any ice cream fan; my family travels all the way from Huntington for it!!!“

“Been here a few times now, and now that i moved to NC I was back for the holidays, I decided to take my uncle tonight and wow wow wow it never disappoints. As soon as I walk in, im almost brought to tears because it feels like home. *cues Frank Sinatra* youre greeted as soon as you walk in, everybody having warm BUT LOUD;) italian conversations at the little tables. I asked the woman which gelato she preferred and she said amaretto cookie, and so I said okay ill that one:) ! And the boss/owner intercepted and said, everyone has their own taste and took it upon himself to scoop a sample of it and I like how despite how everybody is in the fast lane and next next next (outside this place) he took the moment to go above and beyond and thats the italian way. It made me smile. Amongst the decadent gelato, the ambiance, the hospitality is what puts the cherry on top. And btw my uncle said a lot of the gelatos hes had have been ice chips but this one, perfecto. Dolce far niente. Like sitting in the car, together, reunited for the holidays, enjoying gelato. Tasting the gelato, but more, tasting a memory far richer than I could've asked.“

“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! ♥️“

“Ralph's is a Long Island summer classic for as long as I can remember, and the Lindenhurst location does the name proudly! They have enough flavors of water and cream ices and ice cream that could make your head spin, and they are always adding more. My personal favorites are graham cracker, PB&J, jelly ring, and you can't go wrong with the classics like strawberry or rainbow too. An easy crowd pleaser to bring a bucket along to any BBQ! The girls behind the counter have always been friendly and helpful. Parking in the attached lot can be a lot tight to get in and out of, but luckily it's off the side road and you don't need to worry about Montauk Highway as much.“

“great homemade ice cream, must try 🍦“

“Amazing staff! Never a wait. Every Ralph’s should be run like this one!“

“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.“

“What a wonderful place to indulge! Jess took very good care of us. Very sweet, personable, and added to our positive experience. We chose a vanilla raspberry chocolate ice cream shake. The best flavored shake we've ever enjoyed! We wound up going back 2 weeks later to enjoy it again. We'll definitely be visiting here again and again.. They have plenty of seating and a bathroom on site for customers. Definitely recommend checking them out!.“

“Asked for and had a 50/50 of cherry vanilla & mint chocolate chip .
Both are truly rich & creamy
Great treat on a beautiful day (8.30.25) .
A wonderful throwback store , reminded me of places I went to in the Bronx as a child .
👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

““This is by far the best Carvel I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming every time I visit. The service is fast, the store is always clean, and the ice cream is delicious as always. No other Carvel compares to this one — I absolutely love coming here!”“

“Wow! Alkemy Ice Cream is amazing! I def recommend trying it! And especially for a birthday party! My entire experience was fantastic! I stumbled upon Alkemy Ice cream while looking for something unique for a birthday and the owner Alan explained how they do birthday parties almost like a show AND make the dessert. They can host a party at the shop OR they can come to you! I was unsure how it would go but Alan was super friendly, answered all my questions throughly and assured me I would love it. I more than loved it! It was the best ever and we are still talking about it. They came to my house and put on a show for the kids that even they are still talking about how cool it was. It was like having a party and adding a surprise guest with a special science experiment show for additional entertainment that makes amazing unique dessert at the end! Each ice cream was perfectly made and was fresh! The toppings were all fresh as well. Watching the show was fascinating and the kids had so much fun learning. They continued to amaze guests as they made each ice cream right there. I wasn’t sure if each kid would be waiting a while but it didn’t take long to get all the kids ice cream after the show. They whipped it up fast and everyone got to pick toppings and have a perfectly made ice cream quickly. They didn’t need a lot of room and even cleaned up! I so happy to have found them and I will be having them come back again! Start to finish was a perfect experience. I highly recommend them!!!“

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

“This store is the best of the best I’ve been to many Carvel‘s and this one is courteous help you whatever you need always fills too to the max. They don’t short change you I went to one on you Road cheated me out of three dollars. These are honest people that are hard-working and just always go out of their way to help you“

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

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“We went there a few times. The staff is very welcoming and the goal of the employees is to make their customers feel comfortable. The frozen yogurt especially the birthday cake one is so delicious on a warm spring day! Coming back soon with the family!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Kool Kat Ice Cream Truck! I reached out to treat my daughter and her friends at her small school, and while other places turned me down because it was a small order, Kool Kat happily said yes. They made these kids so unbelievably happy! The man who came was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to make sure every child got exactly what they wanted. All of the teachers and staff kept thanking me and raving about how wonderful he was. Such a simple gesture turned into a really special memory for the kids thanks to Kool Kat. Highly recommend!“

“Fun visit getting ice cream and candy! Very pleasant and helpful staff! We will be back!“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“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!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Great place on a warm summer night for an array of cold, frozen treats. Don't forget that Wednesday's are bogo free ice cream sundaes. Very clean, great, quick and happy staff. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I have been told Carvel is the best icecream around Long Island and from what I've seen and experienced it really is amazing!
This location has this old school ice cream parlor feel! The staff are very friendly and very professional!
The shop was super clean and well laid out! There was wide selection of cakes, soft serve ice creams and hard ice cream!
When we requested our orders the service was quick and friendly!
I highly recommend getting the Triple Chocolate Brownie hard ice cream!“

“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!“

“Great place“

“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.“

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

“I love TCBY !The only TCBY near me closed decades ago.I was so happy to learn there is a store in Northport - I live in Setauket , but it’s so worth the trip , I go there often!
Besides being so delicious- everything is always in tip top shape-it’s a very Clean, and well run store- The owner Bill is a great guy & the employees are always friendly & consistent & competent , Great Job!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Recently, I came in and placed a large, last-minute order for a catering party that I had forgotten to arrange ahead of time. I ordered several cups of soft serve ice cream and sundaes. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, upbeat, and ready to help. They handled my order quickly and professionally while keeping a friendly attitude that made the experience easy.
They made sure every cup looked great and were very generous with the toppings not skimping at all. I was impressed that they even waived the charge for one topping because the cup was already filled to the top. Their attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to help turned a rushed situation into a pleasant one. I left feeling relieved and impressed, and my guests loved how everything looked and tasted. Outstanding service!“

“Would be a 5 but there are no public bathrooms which seems sketchy to me because I thought all dine in establishmentts (they had seating prior to COVID) had to provide bathrooms. Prices compared to portions is insane but that's just the times we live in.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

Martoni is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the heart and soul that goes into this place. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and lively—whether you’re stopping in for a meal, browsing the market, or just soaking in the Italian vibes, it genuinely feels like an experience rather than just a restaurant visit.

The food was incredible across the board. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in their ingredients and their recipes—each bite just reinforces why Italian food is so timeless and comforting. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied but already thinking about what you’re going to order the next time you come back.

What really took this place to the next level, though, was the customer service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time there, and that kind of hospitality goes a long way. It’s rare to find a place where the service somehow manages to outshine already great food—but Martoni does exactly that.

I would 100% recommend Martoni to anyone looking for great vibes, an unforgettable experience, and—most importantly—amazing food. Whether you’re going for a casual visit or something special, this place delivers on every level. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be telling everyone I know about it.

P.S. Shout out to the young man Carmine behind the desk—he truly made this experience great.“

“Absolutely loved our visit to Häagen-Dazs! The staff were super friendly and helpful — shoutout to ZIYA for her excellent service! Every item we tried was amazing: the berry smoothie was refreshing, and the sundaes were beautifully made and full of flavor. The whipped cream was perfectly fluffy, the toppings were generous, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and great service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍦🍒🍓🍫🍌“

“We recently had a shower at Zuzu at Crossbarn East and it was absolutely incredible! The room is so big and spacious, it has a beautiful setup with an area for photos. The food was delicious and everything moved so smoothly from the beginning of the planning process to the party! We are so thankful to have found this location and definitely would like to come back for dinner and if we have another party. Thank you again!“

“Best Gelato, Espresso, and Cappuccino around“
