50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hollis

“This location has been excellent since my first time arriving here I came from Georgia to visit my mother and she sent me here to get some ice cream and from the first time I met the wonderful staff at this establishment I can't stop coming back! Although I only spent six weeks in New York it was worth my time I came to this location so much in the last 6 weeks I know I must have put on at least 20 extra pounds and it's not the ice cream that I love it's the staff here Samantha is amazing she really knows customer service she really knows how to be hospitable the ice cream is good but it's the people that made it even better. The other extraordinary woman here is a woman by the name of Diana I believe it was. She works in the cinnabon area and you can see her heart and her love in the way that she treats the customers I was sitting there eating ice cream one day and I watched how she just went above and beyond making the customer feel welcomed in this establishment. They have come to know me because I come here buying ice cream for my mother all the time and they even remember and they always ask about her it's beyond just a store it's almost like coming to see friends. Make it your business to stop at this location it is very much worth it the music is always excellent here it always has a great atmosphere.
This store should be a model to all the other Carvel locations out there on how you should treat your customers please utilize the staff to train other locations it will be well worth the time all of the people that are here are leaders and teammates and I've come to really like them and love them.“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“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.“

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

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“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.“

“The space is really big and spacious. I came here with my toddlers and we got one waffle with cookie & cream gelato with m&m and condensed milk. Another waffle with matcha gelato. My kids loved their waffles absolutely delicious. Hoping to make another trip here with my kids. I didn’t get a photo with my matcha as my husband had already started on it.“

“I could never complain about the food and quality. It’s insane. Really really good food. But the talking at the register, the slow line, the incredibly long wait for a sandwich is wacky. No matter if it’s clientele or personnel causing the hold up, you shouldn’t have folks waiting an hour for a sandwich.“

“Delicious yogurt great atmosphere ❤️“

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

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

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

“Great ice cream with really unique flavors. Pricing is also pretty decent. The only hang up is the extremely long lines. While the wait time is annoying and would have made this rating 3-4 stars, I have noticed the lovely Spanish lady on Saturday is pretty quick and does her best to serve everyone in a timely manner. Even with it being as busy as it is she always pleasant and wears a smile.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“Crepe House is truly a sweet tooth heaven! Everything I tried was delicious, especially the S’mores crepe, banana milkshake, and tres leches cake topped with Oreo, biscotti, and Dubai pistachio. So many options, great portions, and affordable prices. Definitely recommend checking them out!“

“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 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.“

“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.😊“

“I have went to many froyo store but this one takes the cake the store is always very clean and organized, the best thing about this store is the staff they are all very welcoming, one of the girl helped me open the door when I was having difficulty and they are very sweet to little kids always assisting them with amazing manners they are the sweetest and I can see that all the staff focus on cleanliness of their toppings and the way they deal with their products I definitely recommend this place

Kid-friendliness: The girls always help out my kids with the toppings and they are so well spoken to the kids they ask various types of questions. My kids loved them

Wheelchair accessibility: The height on the tables can be changed“

“I loved the place, we had a lot of fun, many different flavors and all were very good, we attended to a class with Omar and it was amazing, we already want come back, my only problem was that it was difficult to pick what you want, because everything was very good I really recommend this place, amazing cocktails and the service couldn’t be better“

“Fahad was so amazing from the moment i walked into the store he greeted me and was very attentive and helpful. The customer service is beyond amazing and the store is very clean. This is best cold stone i have been to and its my first time coming to this location. Extremely big and nice and omg it has chairs if you want to sit and have your ice cream. I do recommend visiting this location you won’t be disappointed.“

“Best gelato I’ve had in Astoria! And love that they opened the panini spot next door now, which has a perfect little bar. Great spot for a date night - have a sandwich, a cocktail, and some ice cream all with Astoria park as your backdrop.“

“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!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“Gelato was delicious. My daughter had the Matcha soft-serve ice cream ($9) and loved it. I had the Apple Pie gelato. It had chunks of apple in it and was good ($10 for a medium size cup). Place has a small space where about five people could sit. It’s more of a grab and go spot. I took off one star because it’s a bit pricey. Staff was super nice.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

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

“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!“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away!

“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.“

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

“I was pleasantly greeted by the wonderful gelato attendant. The young gentleman Walter was incredibly polite and offered samples to help us make our selections. We ordered the tiramisu, mixed berry, Figo, and the vanilla chocolate mix. The ice cream was complemented with a waffle cone. (Crumbly and sweet :))

The gelato is not very sweet, velvety and bright. The beauty of small bath gelato is its freshness.

The place is impeccable.

Please go visit Walter and order your fresh scoops of gelato in the neighborhood.

I’ll be back for an affogato.

Thanks!“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“It was my first time going to Ralph's Italian Ices and Ice Cream, and I absolutely loved it. They have a variety of flavors (over 100 of them!), and no matter what you get, whether a twister, sundae, or iceberg, you are always in for a delicious treat. Customer service was great! I will return, for more.“

“The gelato here tastes AMAZING! The staff is really nice, and you can sample flavors. I ordered the super big size which isn’t big to me with the raspberry cheesecake, Reese’s, and deep chocolate gelatos. They were all delicious, but the deep chocolate was by far the best! The deep chocolate gelato was the best chocolate gelato I’ve ever had thus far! Potions are very small so I recommend ordering the largest size. I highly recommend Chillato in Whitestone!“

“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!“

“Thank you so much to Aunty’s Snow Cones for being such a sweet and memorable part of our wedding! 🍧❤ The snow cones with condensed milk were an absolute hit with our guests! Everyone was enjoying them, talking about them, and going back for more! 😂

You added such a fun, nostalgic, and delicious touch to our special day, and we truly appreciate you being a part of it. It was the perfect treat for our guests and definitely something people will remember!

Thank you again for helping make our wedding even more special and memorable. We truly appreciate you! ❤🍧

To whom is reading this review, this is your greenlight to book! They are amazing! And so so sweet!“

“We don’t even know how many times we’ve been here 😂 It’s definitely one of our go-to matcha spots in Flushing! We always get the matcha latte because it’s consistently so good and we never get tired of it. 🍵🤍

We also tried the mango sticky rice drink and the jasmine matcha latte, and both were sooo good! The mango sticky rice drink is such a fun and unique combination, while the jasmine matcha latte has such a nice floral flavor.

Definitely recommend trying them if you’re here! Everything is super refreshing and worth it. We’ll definitely keep coming back! 💚“

“the original one and only ice cream Italian ice stand way before Luigi way before Guido's a local favorite quality products made fresh“

“I wish I could give Jessica and the amazing team at Carvel in Woodside more than 5 stars! They always come through with amazing designs and beautiful cakes whenever we need. Most recently I surprised my son's class with Lunar new year ice cream cups and they were so beautiful! Everyone was blown away. Thank you as always for being a wonderful community member, for having the best ice cream and for bringing smiles to kids and adults alike! 😍“

“HI, EDDIES IS BY FAR THE BEST ICE CREAM SHOP IN ALL OF NYC!! NOTHING COMPARES, NOTHING. THE FLAVORS ARE SPOT ON, GENEROUS PORTIONS, GREAT STAFF. NO WONDER ITS BEEN OPEN FOR 100 YEARS. WENT TO ICE CREAM SHOPS IN MANHATTAN, GOOD ICE CREAM BUT NOTHING LIKE EDDIES!! A DEFINATE MUST VISIT FOR ANY ONE, JUST CALL BEFORE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OPEN, SOMETIMES HAS STRANGE HOURS. BUT WELL WORTH A VISIT, I GIVE IT TEN STARS!!!!“

“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.“
