50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Franklin Square

“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“

“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 :)“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“Yummy and refreshing Love the cisterns and the ice together!!!!!!“

“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”“

“Place was spotless, vibe and setting perfect for ice cream and owner and help were great as well as the ice cream cups donur ice cream and all the trimmings to choose.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Brought my kids here this week and we all had a great experience. The ice cream was amazing, the place was clean and had a great vibe, and the staff really stood out super friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I’ve visited other Robin’s locations before and they’ve always been consistently great. You can tell they care about both their product and customer service. My kids are already asking to go back, so we’ll definitely be making this a weekly stop.“

“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!“

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! Highly recommend.“

“Great ices! Mango is my favorite❣️“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I always love coming here and would get my ice cream. They’ve even accommodated me when I got there super close to closing time. Saw that they make cakes and was so happy I decided to get my birthday cake from them this year! It was delicious. My whole family loved it. Some went for seconds. Couldn’t recommend them again. Next birthday cake will be from them! lol. I had the Oreo & strawberry cheesecake with Oreo crunch in between.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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!"“

“The staff, especially Sophia A. is very friendly, informative, patient and was kind to my inquisitive 9 yr old. The price is great!! Had their coconut raspberry icy, it had a great texture to it. I don't live near by, however I frequent the area a few times a year, I can't wait to go back!!“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“solid fro-yo place! their toppings are fresh - all the cookies, cones, and cereals are crunchy. they have other dessert options as well. they run out of flavors sometimes - ask for samples!

parking is a nightmare though, you’re better off parking around the block or two blocks down at the fresh meadows complex“

“love this place makes what ever you want“

“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.“

“THE BEST Cold Stone anywhere! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“A true neighborhood gem! This ice cream spot has an amazing local vibe — warm, welcoming, and full of character. 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“

“Amazing ice cream and amazing workers and owners!!! Definitely stop in and try“

“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“

“Such a cozy little spot to reset and recharge ✨ I stopped in today for a spinach croissant and a Pellegrino, and everything felt fresh and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was inviting and made it the perfect place to sit, catch up on some work, and enjoy a peaceful break before heading to my next destination.
The staff was kind, the pastries tasted fresh, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. I’d definitely recommend this café and will absolutely be returning. ☕🥐“

“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“

“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.“
