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

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

“If you have not tried this place yet - I say RUN there ! The Gelato is absolutely out of this world !!! My husband tried their pistachio , I have never tasted anything remotely as good. My decaffeinated Cappuccino was also very good . 5+++ rating on the Gelato !“

“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!!!“

“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! ♥️“

“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!“

“Great place for Ice treats“

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

“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!“

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

“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 !“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Very tasty ices, fun flavours, definitely NOT naturally flavoured, however, these ices were WAY better tasting than big chain places . The LICORICE flavour was AWESOME with tiny bits of black licorice in it. The building facade has a fun energy to it; the garbage can looks like a massive ice cream cone.“

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

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

“Very nice people and good food.“

“UnMAtched Soft Serve“

“This is probably my top 2 favorite ice cream place (my other fave is sugar hill creamery). SO MANY FLAVORS!! Amazing sundaes, the staff has always been incredibly kind, they literally warm up a brownie to crumble on the Sunday without asking (not a great example but you get the point), I absolutely love it here.

Vegetarian options: It’s ice cream lol

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids! Lots of options for the adventurous and the picky.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps! The door is not automatic, you have to pull it, but there are no steps and it is easy to order from a wheelchair“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“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! 🍦🍒🍓🍫🍌“

“Just another frozen yogurt place. Honestly, it was a bit pricey without the size value. I feel as though the cups weren't as... full as they could have been. A little good a long way in that respect and it doesn't cut into profit margins too much. Clean store, clean bathrooms and friendly staff.“

“This is my husband and my spot by default. Staff is always friendly. What takes away from my perfect experience is the stale cones. After enjoying the ice cream part the cone leaves me saying I’m not coming back. I come back with the hopes I’d get a fresh one. They must find a way to keep the cones fresh.“

“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“

“COFFEE SO STRONG YOU’LL BE FUELED ALL DAY. Single origin, roasted in house using a zero emission coffee roaster. OMG All the bells and whistles a cafe could have, they have. Love the friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Quick and efficient service. Also an amazing place to work all day. Bathrooms are clean and well decorated. They open early and close late. The best in SMITHTOWN!! A must visit.“

“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.“

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

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

“I accidentally found this **GEM** by searching for chocolate covered strawberries. What a treat, with quality tasting chocolate and fresh strawberries! I also get the coffee (Dubai coffee….OMG), and boba tea. The vibe is totally adorable, Rose who works there is very knowledgeable and total sweetheart! A++++“

“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.“

“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“

“Best Ralph's around hands down! The owners & staff ROCK!!“

“Excellent customer service. I have been going there for the past two months at least 5 times per week. Never a problem.

Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy (oat milk) soft serve and hard ice cream.

Parking: It's in a shopping complex.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“The italian ices were delicious as they always are there.
The service was excellent.
It definitely does need more seating and to hide or clean up the garbage area behind the building.
Despite that, especially on these hot days, I definitely recommend this wonderful place for any one of their delicious refreshing treats.“

“Always flavorful and fresh!!!“

“Nice, clean and modern Carvel store in Commack. Just renovated! Employees are friendly and attentive. The cakes are very creative and I never see some of the designs in other Carvel stores! Would recommend this store to the community!“

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