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.“

“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.“

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Crepe House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with great quality ingredients. The crepes are amazing, and the service is always friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Omar, who always provides excellent customer service and makes every visit a great experience.“

“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.“

“This is a nice place, which is a combination of soft, serve ice cream, gelato, and Boba tea. Interesting flavors like tarot, Ube and Matcha . Clean facilities.. reasonably priced.. nice staff. Public restroom. Card payments are accept accepted. Parking on the street is available . Give this place to drive in the area. We will definitely be going back.“

“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.😊“

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

“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.“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“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!“

“Ironically I’ve never tried the gelato here but I’ve had other things including their cardamom buns & passionfruit bars which are absolutely delicious, especially the former. A plus is the staff here is super sweet, especially the girl with the glasses (didn’t ask for her name but she’s a doll). When the weather gets better I would definitely go back for the gelato :).“

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

“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!“

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

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“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.“

“My daughter had been talking about this place for a while, so I finally took her yesterday to get a sno cone. I was surprised to see a line outside on the pavement. At first, I thought we were going to someone's house where they sold sno cones from outside! Wasnt expecting a crowd lol!

I was skeptical at first, but the moment I tasted the guava-flavored sno cone, I was instantly transported back home, eating sno cones on the streets. It was incredibly nostalgic and absolutely delicious.

I also tried the plantain chips, but they weren't really my favorite.“

“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.“

“Fast and easy to order! My mom got the Spice Mango Shandy and I got the Mojito Creamsicle. Very well executed. The price is definitely worth for what you get. Next time, I’ll order the flights when it’s more sunny and got more room to drink.“

“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!“

“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! 💚“

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

“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!“

“Very interesting concept and glad I tried it! We love mochi so the idea of this shop is great. We went with the matcha because it wasn’t overly sweet and had a nice earthy flavor without being bitter. The mochi was wrapped around the scoop of ice cream adding a textural element to the experience.“

“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!!!!“

“very nice staff,love the milkshakes here!“

“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.“

“Had an amazing time at Carvel in West Hempstead! 💯 The staff was exceptional and made my visit even more enjoyable. 👏 Their customer service is on point! #GreatStaff #FriendlyService The ice cream flavors at Carvel are to die for! 😍 They have a fantastic selection, including some new flavors that blew me away. 🍨 And the best part is, their classic flavors are still as delicious as ever. #NewFlavors #DeliciousClassics The location of Carvel across from Echo Park is simply perfect. 🌳 The ambiance is lovely, and you can enjoy your ice cream while taking in the scenic views. 🌞 Definitely a spot worth checking out! #GreatLocation #ScenicViews If you're in West Hempstead, #Carvel is a must-visit destination! 🙌 You won't be disappointed with their amazing staff, mouthwatering flavors, and the overall experience. Make sure to indulge in their scrumptious ice cream creations. 🍦 Your taste buds will thank you! #MustVisit #IceCreamDelight Which Ice 🍨 Cream 🍦Flavors do you like best?“

“The ice cream is excellent, and my wife and I really enjoy coming here. The only downside is that the atmosphere can sometimes feel uncomfortable because the owner is frequently present and seems somewhat stern with employees. It may just be his management style, but it can affect the overall customer experience. The product is great, though, and that’s why we keep coming back.“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“love this place makes what ever you want“

“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.“

“Fruitti Yummi frozen yogurt is sooo good. There aren’t a large variety of fro-yo flavors, but they have all the solid ones here, and a large array of toppings.It is a self-serve location (and they’re covid conscious), providing you with gloves and hand sanitizer to use before serving yourself. I liked that, it made you feel as though the establishment cares about keeping covid at bay.The place is squeaky clean by the way. Everything is tidy, the machines are clean (been to some spots with dirty ones), and the area for toppings was so perfectly organized that me and my boyfriend barely wanted to touch it lol.There was one young lady at the register over-seeing everything, who gave us a friendly greeting when we came in, so that was nice.Other than that there’s not too much to say about a frozen yogurt spot, but this is definitely one of the better locations. You can tell the difference in the quality of flavor, so I highly recommend stopping by.“
