50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Islip

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

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

“Great spot, total hidden gem. I come in here time to time and their gelato is fantastic. My two favorites are the pistachio and rainbow cookie gelato ?.. they also have a nice selection of pastries / cakes. If you have a sweet tooth the cannoli creme filled lobster tails were amazing as was the rainbow cookie cheese cake! Last but not least they have a wide range of offerings as far as coffee & espresso!“

“Jigsy loved her dog ice cream! Seriously amazing! Pistachio and chocolate peanut are amazing!“

“Their ice cream is delicious, and they are very generous with their servings. The staff always has a smile. It like going back in time when familes went to the ice cream store, sat down together and enjoyed their company. We love it

Parking: It's a busy strip of stores. So off hours are easy. But prime time, it's difficult.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Excellent service and absolutely delicious.“

“The staff is extremely friendly and understanding of my handicap!

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm a handicapped, plus sized individual and my love handles didn't even graze the doorway! Phenomenal doorway width and my cake for the nursing home party was perfect!“

“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! ♥️“

“lovee!!!!“

“If you come in eastbound sunrise Highway is easy to get to !!! But if you come from the westbound Summers Highway you’re gonna have to take some turns before you get to the huge parking lot !!! the shopping center is a little bit rundown and dirty. There’s a very huge parking lot so parking is not a problem. The store is outside is brand new we walk in. It’s like Disneyland store the store is very very busy with a line out the door, everything was super clean and new just for being too busy and working nonstop. You have a huge variety of toppings and some class flavors of yogurt and some very awesome flavors.!!!!

“I love all the ladies that work at this Carvel. They’re so nice whoever’s doing the hiring there is definitely choosing the best candidates for customer service. They always have a smile on their face or a suggestion for when I’m not sure what I wanna get.

Parking: There is a parking lot to park in but if you happen to be there on a busy day, there is a side road and a gas station across the street that has plenty of parking that you are allowed to park on for free. There’s no restrictions. But I’ve never had an issue with parking.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly! What kid wouldn’t love an ice cream shop plus they have like the sweetest staff that works there“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“Loved this place! Very unique ice creams and eager-to-please service. Can't wait to go back again.“

“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 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!“

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

“I love this Carvel. They are always very friendly here and even if you show up last minute before they close they are always happy to serve you. They always seem to have everything in stock, I'm never disappointed if looking for something specific.“

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

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

“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“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“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!!“

“Everyone who grows up on Long Island knows that Ralph's Ices is a staple. All of the locations are excellent, but this one right here takes it to the next level. Recently renovated, super clean and very efficient.

The staff goes above and beyond offering a seemingly endless array of tastings and flavors (Kudos to Maddy for being the best). The drive-thru is so convenient, they offer ice cream & soft serve as well, and they even have a candy bar! Cannot recommend enough.“

“Great icecream and yogurt“

“Came here today and was chatting with Joe, behind the counter about living overseas and how much we miss Ralph’s. He gave us a cute little tote to carry our ices. When my daughter announced she was claiming it for herself he ran in the back and gave me another one for my son. Love the American hospitality and kindness on Long Island! Thanks Joe“

“Great place“

“We just celebrated my son’s 4th birthday today and he’s obsessed with fish. I ordered a Fudgey The Whale cake and they asked what color I’d like the writing and I said “could you make it orange? That’s his favorite color. And can you maybe do a little fish on it? He’s obsessed with a certain orange fish.” ? The woman I spoke to said they could do that, and then she said, do you want me to make the entire cake an orange fish? I didn’t even realize they could do that. My kid went ape sh*t! He loved it!! It looked so amazing. The person I spoke to was so kind and helpful, she offered suggestions to make it even more special. And the price of the cake was so reasonable. Highly recommend this location.“

“TCBY Yogurt of East Northport offer both frozen and soft yogurt and ice cream, WE brought he grandkids and they just loved it. The love all the topping choices. The place is small but has a great selection of choices. It has a couple of tables. A good change from all the other ice cream places.“

“I got a Kashmir Pink Tea, which is absolutely delicious, but it's seasonal so leaving the menu soon. Yesterday though, I had gotten the Rose bubble tea, with boba. The tapioca pearls definitely seemed fresh too, as they were soft and warm when in the drink. They have several choices for bottoms which is really nice. The bubble tea has non-dairy in it, so a lot of people can have it. They even have ice creams, tried the Maine Wild Blueberry, and it's amazing! You can order on a little self-ordering screen, or you can be helped by one of the people there. I have only seen two people at a time, but drinks have come out fast. Service has been great, super polite, and the wait hasn't been that long. I definitely want to go back to try the Tropical Oolong!“

“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.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“I was having a bad day and Samson served me and genuinely made my day. his energy is so bright and i appreciate him for taking the time to make me laugh! i vented to him a bit and he was so sweet. i hope to see him again next time i come in“

“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.“

“Stopped in as sign on street said $10 burgers all day. Apparently that goes only to 6 and if you sit at the bar not a table as our very nice waitress told us. Clearly disappointed as thought we were getting a deal and had already ordered our drinks we decided to stay. From menu posting you can see the cheapest hamburger is $15.99 with lots of up charges. We opted to order other menu items. I got the New England clam chowder which was a special- it was flavorful with lots of clams. Thinner/Creamer consistency than I normally prefer but still delicious. Also ordered was wings. They were meaty and tasty but note you only get 7. Not a very big order. And lastly the bacon Mac and cheese - creamy and great cheese pull.

Overall nice decor and tasty food. Not sure we will be back though as the hamburger deal was misleading and felt the menu was a bit overpriced. Maybe we should have tried the hamburgers and just paid the extra money.“

“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!“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Everything on the brubch board we ordered for a communion was delicious! It was delivered on time and was beautifully presented. I would order it again and again.“

“Loved? the self serve variety of yogurts ?, ice creams?, some toppings include nuts?, cookies n creme, fruits????, cocochips?,Syrups?. Also available smoothies and crepes. yummy and yummy? ?must come, you'll fall in love.

Kid-friendliness: Colorful place, I'd love to bring small # of kids for an extravaganza.“

“Love this Yogomania! All the teens/young adults working here are super nice, always respectful and helpful! My daughters and i stop by during the week so we are familiar with a few faces. I see another review bashing them for being young but I can’t relate. I’ve actually walked in on grown adults screaming at them for stupid little things like not enough bananas in a bowl or another time because an customer expected them to read his mind and give him a specific container. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Keep up the good work Yogomania! You guys are awesome ?“
