50 Best Ice Cream Shops near East Rockaway

“Love the new flavor, Nutella!“

“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 the cutest ice scream spot in this neighborhood. The owner is also super friendly and welcoming. We tried the waffle and crepes, which were freshly made upon ordering, and they were so delicious. Highly recommend coming here for a sweet treat.“

“Been coming here for years and every revisit is a reminder of how special this ice cream really is. I got the Coffee/ Dulce de Lecce twist with Marvel mix in a Waffle cone. This is a journey of an ice cream cone as it’s massive but worth every bite. Prices have stayed fair over the years too which is very nice. This ice cream holds so well and rarely drips making it easy to eat in the heat.“

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

“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!“

“Great ice cream and dessert experience. Staff is professional and helpful.“

“I had the best experience at Carvel today! My server-extraordinare Jessica gave me world-class service and kindly helped me pick out the perfect Fudgy the Whale cake! Def coming back! Her boss Amanda was stellar as well! Best Carvel in Nassau!“

“Atmosphere and vibes! The novelty of cereal ice cream really depends on how it’s executed, and this spot does it well! Location makes it a perfect date night dessert place to complement your evening on Bell Blvd. In short, you are paying for an experience when coming here. The ice cream is more like a soft serve when mixed with the cereal and carries a price tag of 8 bucks a head. BUT, I will say I left SATISFIED. There’s a plentiful variety of mixing and matching you can do with your order and the staff were friendly. The portion is adequate, and as you can see in the photo, it’s always better with company!“

“Amazing! This place had everything we wanted! My boyfriend and I were looking for a sweet treat to enjoy on our Fourth of July outing, and this was the only place available. We called ahead to check if they were open, and the staff answered immediately and were incredibly helpful. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and offered samples when we were unsure of what to choose. The prices were also very affordable. It turned out amazing! Highly recommend this spot!“

“Clean location, simple to read menu, and amazing service“

“- "What a hidden gem! Michuacana exceeded my expectations with its rich flavors, generous portions, and warm service. I'll be back soon!

Kid-friendliness: Highly recommended for kids - "I've never seen such a diverse range of ice cream flavors! Michuacana's got it all, from fruity to nutty to decadent chocolate. The quality is top-notch, and I can't wait to try more!"“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“I went there and there customer service was great such a cute spot even the bathroom was extremely cute definitely took some pictures the food was so good I made my own bubble waffle there prices were good and I’d definitely come back again if you are looking for a late night spot to get a treat you should definitely come here 10/10 recommend“

“This location is very nice always clean,they are very friendly and pleasant here and always have all the flavors.
I was served by several times by Samantha who had always been helpful in selecting flavors, pleasant and takes great pride in serving the customers.
Best ice cream in Queens“

“Good place. Been coming here for almost 60 years. Love how it hasn't changed much“

“Very good. I has an Italian Ice“

“An absolute must try! Not your standard scoop of ice cream but a delightful mix that’s sort of part ice cream, part Italian ice, and part gelato with a huge array of homemade flavors. The prices are very good (especially for Long Island) and the product is phenomenal. Worth a trip out of your way to come here!

Parking: Linked number of spots in front of store, particularly on a busy day, but there is more parking in the side lot.“

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“Best service ever. We always get our ice cream cakes from here because they have so many different flavors. The staff is so helpful and nice. As an aside my car broke down in their parking lot and they were so kind about it and let me leave it there until I could get someone to fix it. Highly highly recommend.“

“Only ice place in the nearby area. The menu is extensive so probably something for everyone! The tastes aren’t artificial or overly sweet. The ice cream is nicely done when you pair it with a water ice in one of their twisters. Super accessible with parking just outside and the fact that it’s just off the turnpike. A skosh pricey for what it is but not out of line with similar other places. Staff friendly and approachable.“

“A four for the ice cream which is always great But today I came in and no single Vanilla flying saucers. Loads of six packs. Refused to break up just one pack to six singles. I’m sure others would want a single after me. I’ll adjust this after owner sees and comments

Back again 2 weeks later. No single flying saucers. Time to knock of a star to 4 stars and not go back for a month. Going to Merrick Marvel now“

“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!“

“Was very good. My grandson enjoyed his sundee. Nice and clean and very friendly“

“I ordered the rolled ice cream for my daughter’s birthday and we ordered the banana pudding flavor, the candy flavor and the Oreo flavored rolled ice cream. They were all very delicious. I highly recommend. You have options of toppings like cereal or chocolate chip or whipped topping etc and also for the type of syrup that you want on top .There are lots of toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to try them all?

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian type options from the plant based ice cream to the toppings eg, fruit loops, cookie crisps, dark chocolate chips etc

Kid-friendliness: Cereal flavors for kids to choose from“

“This is an iconic ice cream place. I would totally recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cold refreshing treat. The line seemed long at first but we didn’t have to wait long at all. We got a vanilla cone with Marvel Mix sprinkles and a Leche flavored one. A must try!“

“I walked in here accidentally and saw many people going in to buy it. My son said it should be delicious and bought two two-color cones. My son said it tasted very good, very pure and very large. The boss was very nice and the price was unexpected. Cheap, my son said he would come again“

“Excellent front counter guy! Carvel has the best soft serve ice cream!“

“After ordering the stores internet went down and I didn’t have cash to pay. We tried doing an online order so I could pay for my food but that didn’t work either. I guess their internet was down. To my surprise, The worker was kind enough to give me the food without charge!! I’ve ordered food from here before, which is excellent and will continue to do so because of their generous hospitality. I will also pay it forward next time I’m at this restaurant!“

“Awesome place and such a friendly staff. This place has been around since 1985 ❤️“

“Beautiful interior, good pricing and food is amazing if you want a quick treat! Their selection is so cool and aesthetic, and it changes every once in a while too. Doing absolutely amazing for a new business and I'm rooting for it.

Vegetarian options: It's a Muslim owned business so everything is halal which is better for a wider community.“

“This is my go to spot when I want to treat myself to some yummy yogurt. You are always greeted at the door, yogurt and topping stations are always clean and fresh. My flavor(White Chocolate Mousse) is always in stock and the flavor is consistent. I don't go anywhere else!!“

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

“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 !“

“Absolutely check this place out for dinner. I usually will take out and decided to eat in.. The room was so nice and Sara our server was awesome. This is not just a pizza place.. ENJOY“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“Visited on a Saturday at noon and got a couple slices of Mango Mousse cake to go which had real mango and were light and delicious without being too sweet. You get a cute reusable tote bag with your purchase. The place is quite spacious and very clean. There are other items on the menu without mango. Can’t understand why there were no other customers during our visit. Maybe it was the time of day or perhaps they need to market the Bayside location better. I suspect that well-known French bakery on the same block was packed at that hour.“

“The Best Ice Cream around! The store is always clean and the staff is very friendly!“

“Unique ice cream and delightful employees! Why can’t I see where to put 5 stars here? 💜💜💜💜💜“

“Just as I remembered! Georgia doesn't have... :-(“

“Best breakfast I’ve had in a very long time. The place is a delight. Glad I found it and will return often.. Thank you, Trish. if you’re in Long Beach, don’t miss out on stopping in for breakfast or lunch. You will not be sorry.“
