13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Flushing

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“My husband, son & I went to mango mango dessert. The service was very nice & people was very sweet. The dessert & teas was great. We would go back again soon.😊“

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

“I think they have different operating hours depending on the season. Tried a pina colada Italian ice by Uncle Louie G in a kids sized cup and the price wasn't bad at all for under $4. There were coconut flakes in the ice and the pineapple flavor wasn't too strong. They accept cash and card.“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get.

They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)“

“Demi held it down at this Carvel location with superb service. She was the only staff there that day where there was 7+ customers and still went well and beyond for me when I was pre-ordering a birthday cake. The boss over the phone was also very kind with going through the ordering process and Demi made sure we get everything accurate and helped tailored what flavors, layers, size, designs, and so forth that was recommended. Demi made it super seamless and made sure I was satisfied with my order.
Medium square cake $32~ with edible image print out $4 with free writing and custom crunch toppings as well as border designs was such a great deal here.“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“Solid place for unique desserts and fun drinks. Nice ambiance inside and service is both friendly and timely. So many different options depending on what flavors you like or what you’re in the mood for. We tried the Sweet Beani which had a delicious blend of flavors including black sesame ice cream. Would come again to try a different dessert and would definitely recommend stopping by.“

“I have been to this place and that I had a wonderful time this is because it was free cone day and that everyone went there and got a free 2 scoop of ice cream and that it tasted wonderful and yummy. Also, there was a long line with lots of people.“

“06/04/25 I have been a long time customer of this Carvel. This location is under new management and that extends to quality control. I ordered pistachio soft serve and it tasted sour! The color was a faint green almost blue; I had to throw it away. In addition, the prices increased on all sizes by $2. It’s unfortunate my family lost a local staple :(

Update 06/06/25

Experience was acknowledged, noted, and rectified. The manager and staff explained it was a problem with their soft service machine at the end of the day, and lack of oversight. The store gifted my family and I a redo of our original purchase—with a complimentary extra. The staff truly cares about the quality of their products and customer satisfaction. Excellent customer service. The Ice cream today was of the same quality it always is.

In Flushing, food and quick service businesses have garnered a reputation of not caring about their quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction. Thankfully we were proven incorrect with this location :) Once again, Flushing Carvel is the best in Northeast Queens ;) Despite new management, ice cream flavor and consistency remains top notch! The refurbished store is great as well! Price increase is justified by the quality and new variety of products, and increase in staff (Yes, we are Carvel connoisseurs, ha ha!)“

“We've had super hot days this summer. It's nice to pop in here for some ice cream. The employees were nice and friendly. It can get busy there. It's a small establishment and standard to pretty much all Carvel's. It's convenient and right at an intersection. They have a yummy Reeses sundae in a tall cup, full of yummy peanut butter chunks. It's sweet but good. Woukd get it again! My son chose a chocolate shake, and my husband got a cappuccino crunch to take home. All were good.“
