“Best ice cream in the game. The kids there are always awesome. Super friendly the ice cream has the perfect blend of ice and cream. It’s so creamy and icey that it just makes you so warm and fuzzy inside even though it’s cold. Love cold stone. Speshally this spot for real for real.“

“Unique and fun experience! Delicious ice cream and friendly workers! Will definitely be back!! Coram location“

“Coyle's of Bayshore always delivers a wonderful ice cream experience. All of the employees are cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Anna, the manager, has created a welcoming and family-feeling environment. To top it all off, all of their ice cream is homemade on premises, and you simply can't find better. This place is a must-visit for any ice cream fan; my family travels all the way from Huntington for it!!!“

“Great place to go and enjoy ice cream.Service was great!!Definitely will be back!“

“Been here a few times now, and now that i moved to NC I was back for the holidays, I decided to take my uncle tonight and wow wow wow it never disappoints. As soon as I walk in, im almost brought to tears because it feels like home. *cues Frank Sinatra* youre greeted as soon as you walk in, everybody having warm BUT LOUD;) italian conversations at the little tables. I asked the woman which gelato she preferred and she said amaretto cookie, and so I said okay ill that one:) ! And the boss/owner intercepted and said, everyone has their own taste and took it upon himself to scoop a sample of it and I like how despite how everybody is in the fast lane and next next next (outside this place) he took the moment to go above and beyond and thats the italian way. It made me smile. Amongst the decadent gelato, the ambiance, the hospitality is what puts the cherry on top. And btw my uncle said a lot of the gelatos hes had have been ice chips but this one, perfecto. Dolce far niente. Like sitting in the car, together, reunited for the holidays, enjoying gelato. Tasting the gelato, but more, tasting a memory far richer than I could've asked.“

“As always they went above and beyond making my moms vision come true! When asked what type of wedding cake do I want— 1,000,000% ICE CREAM! Thank you for your beautiful and special touches! ♥️“

“Amazing staff! Never a wait. Every Ralph’s should be run like this one!“

“Great place for delicious food and ice cream. Fun place to bring the kids. I loved my burger and fries and there’s so many ice cream choices. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!“

“If there was an option for ten stars, I'd rate this place ten stars across the board! EVERY time I go to this location in Bay Shore, I'm so impressed on how spotless the whole place is. The one lady & man (he's usually in the back unless a few customers come in) that are always there are so nice. The lady is constantly cleaning up after herself after everything she makes. You can see that they work hard & appreciate the business. They give excellent customer service & I HIGHLY recommend this Carvel!



Parking: Because there are other merchants in the same plaza, parking isn't always so good.“

“I ordered a custom cake for my brothers 16th birthday and it was amazing ! The woman who helped me was so friendly , and honest. When I told her I wanted black icing, she advised that black is difficult because it needs a bunch of different food coloring and doesn't taste good, so we ended up going with red. She really took her time to make sure we were on the same page and had everything correct. I was worried the picture would look tacky or blurry because its printed but it looked like it was drawn right on the cake. Definitely recommend this service !“

“UnMAtched Soft Serve“

“Delicious and the best toppings!!! Always a special time with my granddaughter!🍨“

“This store is the best of the best I’ve been to many Carvel‘s and this one is courteous help you whatever you need always fills too to the max. They don’t short change you I went to one on you Road cheated me out of three dollars. These are honest people that are hard-working and just always go out of their way to help you“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“it is a carvel that gets a great bit of traffic so everything is always nice and fresh.“

“I stopped in for ice cream, and my card kept getting declined, despite there being plenty of money on it. I kept asking the girls to scan the card at the top of the POS machine, and they kept telling me they cannot scan the card until the card was entered into the machine three times. I have never encountered this before.I really think there is a mistake, because the scan option was implemented to protect consumers from having to enter or swipe their cards at a POS machine. I never scan my card at retail establishments anymore; I always scan my card at the top of the machine, and my payment is always accepted. I am never told I need to enter my card three times before scanning.It ends up some lovely woman paid for my ice cream anyway, which I am highly appreciative of.“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Kool Kat Ice Cream Truck! I reached out to treat my daughter and her friends at her small school, and while other places turned me down because it was a small order, Kool Kat happily said yes. They made these kids so unbelievably happy! The man who came was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to make sure every child got exactly what they wanted. All of the teachers and staff kept thanking me and raving about how wonderful he was. Such a simple gesture turned into a really special memory for the kids thanks to Kool Kat. Highly recommend!“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“

“I absolutely love swirls and twirls. I come here every week and their prices are so reasonable. So many flavors and toppings to choose from. My favorite part is how clean everything thing is and how lovely the staff is. I would definitely recommend!“

“Fun visit getting ice cream and candy! Very pleasant and helpful staff! We will be back!“

“What an amazing experience dealing with Michelle to customize my daughters birthday cake. The patience this women had between my 10yr old ideas and placement on everything was amazing! Thank you for making this an easy step for me.
I will update review when I pick up my cake“

“Absolutely loved our visit to Häagen-Dazs! The staff were super friendly and helpful — shoutout to ZIYA for her excellent service! Every item we tried was amazing: the berry smoothie was refreshing, and the sundaes were beautifully made and full of flavor. The whipped cream was perfectly fluffy, the toppings were generous, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and great service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍦🍒🍓🍫🍌“

“A very charming shop. In town for work and decided to go for a treat. Banana cream ice and peanut butter and jelly ice were the best I’ve had. I’m a stickler with banana flavored items and it is most definitely made with fresh bananas without any artificial flavors or colors. The owner was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend to anyone in town or passing through! Bring cash-it’s absolutely worth it!“

“I love TCBY !The only TCBY near me closed decades ago.I was so happy to learn there is a store in Northport - I live in Setauket , but it’s so worth the trip , I go there often!
Besides being so delicious- everything is always in tip top shape-it’s a very Clean, and well run store- The owner Bill is a great guy & the employees are always friendly & consistent & competent , Great Job!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Great“

“Been going to Scoops for years! Great ice cream... friendly staff... a must do when visiting Ocean Beach!“

“This is a Local Cafe that has never let us down. Prices are moderate and service is sufficient. Owners are usually hands on and very active in ensuring the stay/food is good. Anum and Tarun took care of us and make the customer feel valued. My kids love the shakes and ice cream!“

“my husband and I went there yesterday the food was amazing the staff was so respectful and friendly The Establishment was spotless we actually got to meet the owner Sylvie what a wonderful woman I recommend this place to everyone if you haven't seen it haven't been there go check it out you won't be disappointed“

“Great place“

“This location was renovated in the last couple of years and has maintained the cleanliness well! This location has a drive-through, spacious parking lot and outdoor seating. They have a full menu as this is a standalone location. We have had the doughnados, mint madness milkshake, all of the cream and regular ices are always fresh.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Good location both for driving and walking. There's enough parking in the back and on street that it shouldn't be an issue.The ices are what you'd expect from any Ralphs.The service was good although when I went there was only one girl working but luckily it wasn't busy.“

“Always happy to go there. Staff is always helpful and nice.“

“We had our daughter’s 3rd birthday here this past weekend. The party was flawless and stress free. Alicia was so accommodating from the moment I inquired up until the very end of our party. We did not feel rushed, the place was so clean, the staff were wonderful and put up our decorations for us! Five stars!“

“Had lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and the food was incredible! Service was fast and professional and the restaurant was clean! Would highly recommend“

“There’s nothing like a Ralph’s Italian ice to satisfy that craving. The problem is that there are too many flavors to choose from and they all are soooooo goood.“

“Hands down best froyo around, I love this place and always come whenever I crave good quality froyo. The guy upfront is always friendly and I appreciate the fact that this place is ALWAYS clean. I’ve been here multiple times and not once has this place had a single napkin on the floor. Most people on here complain about the prices but are the same people who love 10-15 toppings in their cup at once lol be serious.“

“Cold Stone. Absolutely classic. The ice cream itself is much better than a lot of places out here. Lotta different options in terms of toppings and pre made creations. Cones are good too. Was worried this place would be overrated, definitely not the case.“

“It's an ice cream shop made great by helpful and caring employees. We were a bit of a mob, and the young man who took care of us was extremely helpful and got evey single order correct. Very nice place. Parking can be a bit tricky, but then again, it's on main street in Sayville...enough said.“

“Babylon Kilwins has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere with an amazing staff who are always welcoming and attentive. The ice cream is rich and creamy, made with quality ingredients, and the fresh waffle cones make it even better. The overall experience is consistently enjoyable and keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!“

“This was my first time visiting this Ralph's location. I was greeted with a very pleasant hi, welcome to Ralph's! It's owner was there and she was wonderful. The store was clean and had so many different options. I took my time and ordered something for everyone in my family. The owner was great and I didn't feel rushed and they helped me by recommending some of the wonderful flavors to offer. They offer ices, cream ices, soft serve and sundaes. Would recommend this location to others looking for a cool treat on a hot day!“

“I really liked the Ocean Beach FI Sand Bar. The staff were so accommodating. The food was good and the drinks were made so well. The two bands we stayed for were excellent. We will be back soon!“

“This place has great service and great variety. People who claim that the employees are not wearing gloves needs something to do with their lives the employees are not touching the ice with their hands, they use scoops. Complain about something legit.“

“Amazing açaí bowls♥️🤤 forever will go here for açaí bowls“
