50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Glen Oaks

“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.“

“Tasty ice cream flavors and friendly service. Plus a fun atmosphere overall !!!“

“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.“

“It’s a must try, taste is great, different flavors of awesomeness“

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

“The food was great and the prices were decent, but as a crepe lover the wait times could be shorter. Apparently, it typically takes 20 minutes for them to make a crepe, compared to a 5-7 minute wait for a different order. Would be 5 stars, but the wait times can be long.“

“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“

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!"“

“We just moved into a nearby neighborhood and decided to give this place a try. My daughters and I had passion fruit, chocolate and citrus. All three flavors were very good, with my favorite being passion fruit. The prices are great, but they are cash only so do come prepared. Honestly, I was very surprised to find this place and I am glad I did..will be returning ?.“

“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 :)“

“To say I’m obsessed is an understatement - I LOVE this place! The shaved ice/ice cream combination is so delicious and refreshing - you have to try it! My favorite is the Tropical Sunset. My son also loves the $2 chocolate ice cream cone.“

“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.“

“Our favorite Italian ice place“

“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.“

“Still the best ice cream shop around with that old school nostalgic feel . .“

“This place is really very good. I am tired of all those american ice cream shops, where you are consuming mostly elephant doses of sugar. But simple matcha cone ice cream is so delicious and well-balanced. More I am getting into Asian culture more I feel to disconnect from everything American.“

“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“

“i have been coming to aunty for snow cones whenever i am in the area since i was young, the ice with condensed milk is absolutely delicious and everyone working there is so pleasant, overall a great experience every time i come and i recommend her to anyone in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Fresh and delicious. Will visit 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!“

“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“

“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“

“Love Uncle Louie G's My Favorite is Cappuccino Chunk icecream and My best ices are Coconut also like Rainbow. Stop by soon all their Flavors will be available.“

“This place has it all such an amazing assortment of freshly made treats. They also have shakes, frozen, yogurts, and toppings galore. I always pass with my family as my kids love the frozen yogurt and the self serve that they can make their own delicious Sunday. I suggest you stop by give the place a try if you haven’t been there before. Thanks for reading my review you could also give me a follow on Facebook.“

“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!“

“So excited there’s a carvel in college point!! The staff are super friendly and accommodating,the store is absolutely spotless and you can just tell the store is managed and worked with pride. The weekly specials are also awesome and there’s coupons as well in the ValPak monthly mailer. I highly recommend going here, College Point Carvel will definitely be here for a long time“

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

“Just stopped by here today because I really wanted some frozen yogurt. This was my first time going there as I am not from here. There are several tables inside with seating for up to 10 people.I wanted some frozen yogurt and was going to get the biggest container they had which was the 1.5 quart, but the guy at the counter warned me it would run me about $25 - $30 which was really expensive. That’s when he explained they charge by the ounce ($1.50/oz?) so the more I put in the container the more expensive it is.I settled for a 16oz container but didn’t fill it all the way up and it ran me about $13 after tax. It was really good and they had a good selection of toppings as well. I would definitely go back again.

Parking: There is a municipal parking lot across the street for a fee ($3/hr?) with ample parking.“

“JUST STOPPED BY LAST MINUTE TO GET A BANANA SHAKE. STOPPED BY THE WEEK BEFORE AND THE SAME SHAKE WAS DELICIOUS. WILL GO BACK AGAIN!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Highly recommended shop! I’m new to the North Shore and have been looking for a non-chain local coffee shop in the area. CoCo was recommended to me by a friend who raved about them and it does not disappoint. Terrence does not miss a single detail- from the quality of the coffee—to the matcha powder—to the innovative drink menu- to the hand-painted made in-house delicious chocolate truffles that fly off the shelves daily- to the warm and welcoming hip vibe that makes you feel like you’re sitting in a coffee shop in Greenwich Village. It’s also refreshing to see them support other small businesses in the area with an array of baked goods from St Rocco’s made especially for this store to fantastic local donuts. Great gift boxes filled with these heavenly chocolate bites are also available around the holidays. Easily one of my favorite gems I’ve discovered in the area so far (and yes, they blow away Karmic Grind).“

“The truffle fries were to die for and the burger was just the right size and delish!“
