50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Franklin Square

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“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 :)“

“Love this place. David is the best and his cakes are always great. I can go to a Baskin Robbins closer to my house but we love this place so much, it's worth the extra time it takes to get there. Btw, thanks David for Jackson's birthday cake. He LOVED it. =D“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Red Mango 🥭 in Franklin Square today! The SPK drink I ordered was crafted to perfection by Nicola, and I must say, it was a burst of deliciousness in every sip. But the treats weren't the only highlight – engaging in conversation with Jade was an absolute pleasure. I can't help but commend the exceptional service provided by these two young women. Their warm hospitality and pleasant demeanor truly stood out. It's rare to come across staff members who are both attentive and genuinely hospitable. Nicola and Jade are definitely a testament to the fantastic customer service at Red Mango. Looking forward to many more visits to enjoy not just the treats, but the wonderful atmosphere they create. Kudos to the team! 🍹🌟 #RedMangoDelights #TopNotchService #TreatYourselfRight #franklinsquare 🤩 🏠 ❤️ “#williamjacobs #williamjacobsrealtor #williamjacobsrealestae”“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“We recently hosted our child’s birthday party at Chillato , and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. From customized decorations and dedicated party host, everything was so well-organized and kid-friendly. The highlight, of course, was decorating custom pops and fresh waffle cones with fun toppings.

The party space was clean, cheerful, and perfectly sized for our group. The kids had a blast, and the adults loved the relaxed, happy vibe (and let’s be real—the ice cream too!).

If you’re looking for a unique, low-stress birthday venue with sweet treats and sweet people, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“- "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!"“

“Great ices! Mango is my favorite❣️“

“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.“

“Went to Crumbl for first time with nieces, Cookies delicious, pricey but worth it! Can’t go often but when you do, cookies delicious! Enjoy

Parking: Large shopping center, lots of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single level and Handicap spots available.“

“This TCBY location is the best on the planet! Their cakes are the absolute freshest, most delicious creations and the owners and staff are the friendliest. Don't let the season pass without cold treats from this impeccably clean and beautifully run location. Highly recommended! Brad is a rock star!“

“Our favorite Italian ice place“

“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“

“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.“

“Omg!!! Avian paletas d nance,aguacate,elote etc,, infinidades de sabores y lo deliciosas q están muy pero muy recomendable y las muchachas q trabajan ahí son muy agradables lo hacen a uno q regresen de nuevo les doy un 💯!!!!“

“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.“

“i absolutely love this place. my friends and i go whenever we have the chance to. every worker there is so welcoming and friendly. Douglas, Ashlee and the manager Mike have created such a fun environment for all the kids that go after school. highly recommend going with friends and family, they are never scared to spark up a conversation! lovely place. lovely decoration!“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“In summer comes I wish to go there so badly“

“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!“

“Fresh and delicious. Will visit again“

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

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“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 visited Gran Caffe Gelateria with a few friends for a late-night dessert after dinner, and we were also looking for a good coffee spot. This place had great reviews, so we decided to check it out, especially since it stays open late.

The gelato selection was impressive, offering a variety of flavors at a great price point—definitely good value for the quality. The gelato itself was super creamy and delicious, better than many places I’ve tried before. I also appreciated that the portion sizes were generous.

As for the customer service, while the staff was polite, I felt the engagement could have been better. When asking about flavors and pricing, it was a bit of a one-sided conversation. Since it wasn’t too busy at the time, I would have preferred a little more interaction to make the experience feel more welcoming.

The coffee and espresso were also fantastic, with a surprisingly good value for the price. My friends and I were impressed with the flavor and quality.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—since it’s a corner shop, parking was limited, and we had to park about half a block away. If you're planning a visit, just be prepared for that.

Overall, this is a great spot for late-night gelato or coffee. The selection is not overwhelming, but what they do have is top-notch. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or even with kids, this is a solid choice for a sweet treat. I'll definitely consider coming back!“

“Oh my god, I love coming here. They have the best frozen yogurt here with amazing toppings. The place is ALWAYS clean and it’s definitely worth the price. The best flavor in my opinion was the pomegranate raspberries. The workers are always polite and clean up the place. They have cute thermal spoons too definitely 10/10“

“Amazing! You can go there all summer and get something new and delicious each time. The Açaí bowls are the best I’ve had in NYC!“

“10/10. Best dessert spot in Queens hands down!!“

“I bought a birthday cake here and it was delicious. For the cheap price, it fed 6 people. Come to this place for your ice cream and ice cream cake!! I highly suggest getting a scoop of strawberry ice cream do you do. The staff are nice and friendly towards all customers.“

“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 !“

“AMAZING!!! First time customer. The first thing that caught my eye was the decor. It reminds me of an old school ice cream parlor. The aroma of a freshly made crepe was in the air. Not knowing what to order, the owner asked what I liked and then created this beautiful crepe just for me. I can tell you this was delicious! If you’re in the area you must go and check it out. You will not be disappointed!“

“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“

“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!“
