50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Franklin Square

“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“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“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”“

“Absolutely delicious! I love discovering innovative ice cream spots that think outside the box. Who would’ve thought to press a donut with ice cream and add cereal toppings? It’s honestly genius.

Everything tasted amazing and definitely did not disappoint. Naz was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Thanks to her for making it such a great visit.

Highly recommend !! it was fire !! Check them out !!“

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

“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!“

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

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

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

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

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“This 16 Handles location is always a great experience! The store is spotless, and the friendly staff create such a warm, welcoming environment-especially with kids. I really appreciate how clearly everything is labeled, from which toppings are kosher to what allergens are present, making it easy to eat here with confidence. Highly recommend!“

“Great ices! Mango is my favorite❣️“

“Great local frozen yogurt spot. We appreciate that there are always sugar-free flavors available. And usually a dairy free option. Most yogurt places around us only offer no sugar added, and are limited to one flavor if available. There also are sugar-free and gluten-free muffins. The scones are amazing. And there’s a bunch of frozen bagel options, cookies and brownies available. Plenty of toppings, for sugar-free they have chocolate chip chips and hot fudge. There’s also indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly, fast and helpful.“

“Great variety, excellent service. Half cannoli/half lily with nuts - DELICIOUS!“

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

“Very nice cookies that taste splendid! However the staff could be a little more enthusiastic (referring to the ones that have worked there for a while, I get it can be tiring to put on a smiley face for each customer that walks in, but you are getting paid to do it and it makes their experience 10x better!). So, there are many new employees who are very welcoming and kind!“

“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!“

“I want to say a huge thank you to Sam at Cinnabon Carvel for the beautiful cake for my grandma! She absolutely loved it. The cake was perfect, and the service was just as amazing. Sam was so friendly and kind, which made the whole experience even better. I’ve already recommended this location to others and will definitely be back. Thank you again!“

“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!“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“Workers are kind of awkward cuz they're all teens except for the manager, which is okay.
The ice cream is amazing though. And they piled that stuff on. I couldn't finish it and it took me half an hour to even get halfway through it.
I ordered a small vanilla cup with no toppings.
It's far cheaper than Cold Stone Creamery and almost has the same aspects.
If you loved Mr. Softee's ice cream growing up, those ice cream trucks always going around the block, than this ice cream is for you.“

“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“

They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic favorites to unique and seasonal creations. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and creamy, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly and always happy to let you sample before choosing. Whether you're grabbing a quick cone or hanging out with friends on a sunny day, this place feels like home. Highly recommended“

“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.

“I had a wonderful experience at Carvel thanks to the outstanding team working there. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. One employee helped me choose the perfect dessert with great recommendations, another prepared my order with care and attention to detail, and a third kept everything running smoothly with a friendly attitude that made the visit even better.

Their teamwork, positivity, and commitment to quality made my visit truly special. If you're looking for great service and delicious ice cream, this Carvel team delivers!“

“Love the new flavor, Nutella!“

“The best froyo on Long Island! There are so many options including the froyo flavors and toppings - and the staff are not shy with the amount of toppings. They’re also very friendly & allow you to try as many flavors as you’d like without rushing you.

The place does get packed and can get pretty overwhelming so be prepared to wait on line but it’s worth it!“

“I come here at least once a week and everytime I try a new flavor from the assortment of flavors in their store. The workers there are very ecstatic and always ask about my day. Great ice cream with different toppings. Everyone who gave a bad review is mid and obviously wrote their bad review on the wrong store. Keep up the great work!“

“I ordered a cappuccino at the Gran Café Gelateria and it was really really good. I paid $5 for a large . I did notice they also had Ferrero Rocher ice cream, which I asked the young ladies to try and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning to Lynbrook just to try for ice cream here! The service was also very friendly!“

“Best place ever to buy your ices or ice cream, if you want to host a party and afraid of serving ice cream because is going to melt, no worries they will take care you, they help you with dry ice, and they will teach you how to handle it.
The employees, the best people, very friendly and caring for customers.“

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

“We went to the Nautical Mile looking for dessert and found Sam’s Scoop and it did not disappoint. They offer a variety of ice cream and the best part, when informed of an allergy they went above and beyond to ensure that the food was not cross contaminated. The service was amazing.“

“Best purchase i’ve ever made. I always come to this ralph because staff is friendly,recently saw the famous dubai chocolate ice cream was released and i am OBSESSED.
