“I had such an amazing experience at Ralph’s Ice Cream, and it’s all thanks to Mia! From the moment I got to there she greeted me with the warmest smile and made me feel like a valued customer right away. Even though there was a bit of a line she stayed calm, upbeat, and professional the entire time. She handled each order with care and patience, making sure everyone got exactly what they wanted without ever seeming rushed or overwhelmed.When it was my turn, I had a few specific requests for my order and Mia didn’t hesitate or get annoyed like some people might. Instead she listened carefully, gave great suggestions, and made sure everything came out perfect. The way she took the time to double-check and make my treat exactly the way I like it showed how much pride she takes in her job. On top of that, she kept such a positive vibe that it made the whole experience even better something you don’t always get at places that are super busy.
Honestly, workers like Mia are rare. She goes above and beyond just taking orders she creates a whole experience that makes customers want to come back. She’s respectful, hardworking, and truly cares about doing her job well. I hope Ralph’s management sees how lucky they are to have someone like her on their team. Mia absolutely deserves recognition and in my opinion a raise for the excellent service she provides! Thank you once again to management and Mia!“

“I wish go to Baskin Robbins I don’t been there so badly“

“friendly, helpful service good food good dessert, love a good Fribble“

“I just had the chicken marsala and let me say it was fantastic. As good as you can get in any restaurant if not better. I highly recommend this place.“

“Nastiest workers I’ve ever met. Refused to take my autistic friends order due to his studder and indecievness. Anthony is the greatest roller skater and waiter of all time. Anthony deserves a raise and a statue outside of the restaurant. His enthusiasm and helpfulness is unmatched to any roller skater/ waiter I’ve ever met.“

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“Guys, I have to share my experience at Let's Roll because it was wonderful. I don't really like ice cream (i know, that's crazy right?), but my husband and my kids always go to this place so I decided to try it. It's a super friendly place that's owned by a wonderful couple (Craig & Giselle, I think? I don't really know if that's how she spells it), but I never wanted to try the ice cream. Except today. I tried the passion fruit flavor - and my God, there's nothing like it! You really have to taste it - it's so yummy. And besides, the place is super family-friendly, with super nice people, such positive energy. I will be back soon. 5 stars for Let's Roll in Merrick!“

“delicious...variety...love this place“

“My daughter and I happened upon this place and we were so happy we did! Chris (not sure if he was the owner or not) was super helpful since we have food allergies. He made my daughter a cotton candy milkshake which she absolutely devoured. I had a flavored coffee which was delicious. From the black and white checkered floor to the murals on the walls, the vintage looking tables and chairs to the fun gelato display case (which was nice and low for little ones to be able to choose from) the decorated garage door which let in so much light to the retro cola display fridge, everything was so well thought out and just a lot of fun. Kudos to them for a really great place, definitely go visit!“

“This is a nice place, which is a combination of soft, serve ice cream, gelato, and Boba tea. Interesting flavors like tarot, Ube and Matcha . Clean facilities.. reasonably priced.. nice staff. Public restroom. Card payments are accept accepted. Parking on the street is available . Give this place to drive in the area. We will definitely be going back.“

“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.“

“Yummy ice cream, the pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and dolce de leche was 💣“

“Is so great guys should try it u be amazed“

“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.“

“Gino was patient and took the time to explain to us all the different packages, in preparation for our wedding. After learning that my fiancé and I are both first responders, Gino extended his support and professionalism to us even more so! We are both looking forward to having him cater the dessert portion of our wedding, in addition to creating an unforgettable experience! Dolce and Gelato is the way to go!! Bravissimi!“

“Had a great experience at the Lynbrook TCBY store! Brad, the friendly staff member behind the counter, went above and beyond to make our visit special. He kindly offered us samples of any flavor we wanted, which helped us decide on the perfect frozen yogurts. His warm smile and excellent customer service made my lunch break even sweeter. I met up with my wife and daughter there, and Brad made sure we felt welcome and taken care of. If you're lucky enough to catch him on Tuesdays or Thursdays (his days in the store), make sure to say hi - you won't be disappointed!“

“The Bellmore Carvel is very special. The amount of love and care put into my son's birthday cake exceeded my expectations. Amanda is so talented and you can tell she is passionate about designing cakes. She even called me personally to ask if she could alter the cake a bit from the image I provided. It came out a million times better than the image! Thank you, I will only be ordering from you guys in the future!“

“delicious shaved ice, portion size, swag and value for the price. also a plus that it's located in a cute spot in sea cliff. you need to check this place out when open. only draw back is that it's a little slow to get things made. but it's worth the wait on a summer day.“

“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!!“

“love this place makes what ever you want“

“***** (Five Star) Review - The hubby and I love the Hicksville Sweet Shop! It is such a warm and welcoming restaurant/ice cream shop – were everyone knows your name! We reserved a table for Valentines Day and had a wonderful meal consisting of crab cakes, fried shrimp, French fries, vegetables and, for dessert, fresh homemade strawberry shortcake – reservations are rarely needed! Homemade ice cream and chocolates are also delicious! I can honestly say I never had a bad meal at the Hicksville Sweet Shop! Thank you Eva, Phil, Harry, Walter, Alma, Jeannie & Clair❤️e!“

“The BEST place to go on the nautical mile! Love the new location !“

“These cookies are delicious! We sampled them as a family this month and the Apple snickerdoodle was everyone's favorite! followed closely by the cookies and cream. soft, decadent and flavourful, Nicole really knows her stuff. Can't wait to order again next month!“

“This is long islands guilty pleasure. Love stoping by in a hot summer night for any flavor you are craving for“

“Favorite place to visit for a ice cold treat :) Quick service, always got my fav flavor in stock.“

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !“

“Love this place! All the flavors never fail, always refreshing and delicious! The toppings choices are top tier. Store is kept so clean and the employees are attentive and friendly. Decor is fun too! It’s a nice atmosphere for little kids!“

“Yummm 🍦🍦🍦🍦had the BEST sundae !!“

“Great Friday night out with friends. Food was amazing. Pizza dough was very good. Above average for wood fired. Vodka sauce excellent and I’ve had my fair share. Appetizers were excellent. Gotta get the stuffed zucchini flowers. And our waitress was excellent. Very attentive and not too over the top. And get the ice cream. The hot fudge was awesome! Cant wait to go back and try different pies. I do have one negative thing to say however. The lighting was making me feel dizzy at times due to the yellow tint, not a fan. But overall, the pros def. Outweigh the one con. Shoutout to my Antigua 25’ crew for coming along and introducing me to this wonderful establishment!“

“Hands down one of the best dessert spots around! I stopped by this Ralph’s Italian Ices and tried the Dubai Chocolate Sundae—and WOW, it was next level. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, every bite felt like a chocolate lover’s dream come true. The layers were perfectly balanced, and the presentation? Instagram-worthy. You can tell they put real thought into their flavors and quality. Definitely coming back to try more! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out.“

“The best Carvel in the area ! What makes it the best is that they definitely have the friendliest staff. And they keep the place super clean. I take my daughter there at least once a week after her gymnastics class and on more than one occasion have been shown appreciation for our loyalty.“

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

“Very nice staff that offers tastes and recommendations. Honestly, the flavors were interesting, but the execution was just average. Most flavors, too sweet that I tasted. Price for a scope was high considering the quality and size. I got two scoops on a sugar cone which tasted very good and stayed crunchy. I thought ice cream was good but not 5 star good.“

“Fresh and delicious. Will visit again“

“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“

“Immaculate frozen yogurt store and friendly staff. They’re following strict Covid protocols. Great tasting yogurt too! 🍦“
