“Yummy ice cream, the pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and dolce de leche was 💣“

“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.“

“Guys, I have to share my experience at Let's Roll because it was wonderful. I don't really like ice cream (i know, that's crazy right?), but my husband and my kids always go to this place so I decided to try it. It's a super friendly place that's owned by a wonderful couple (Craig & Giselle, I think? I don't really know if that's how she spells it), but I never wanted to try the ice cream. Except today. I tried the passion fruit flavor - and my God, there's nothing like it! You really have to taste it - it's so yummy. And besides, the place is super family-friendly, with super nice people, such positive energy. I will be back soon. 5 stars for Let's Roll in Merrick!“

“My daughter and I happened upon this place and we were so happy we did! Chris (not sure if he was the owner or not) was super helpful since we have food allergies. He made my daughter a cotton candy milkshake which she absolutely devoured. I had a flavored coffee which was delicious. From the black and white checkered floor to the murals on the walls, the vintage looking tables and chairs to the fun gelato display case (which was nice and low for little ones to be able to choose from) the decorated garage door which let in so much light to the retro cola display fridge, everything was so well thought out and just a lot of fun. Kudos to them for a really great place, definitely go visit!“

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! 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.“

“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!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“Was very good. My grandson enjoyed his sundee. Nice and clean and very friendly“

Kid-friendliness: Highly recommended for kids - "I've never seen such a diverse range of ice cream flavors! Michuacana's got it all, from fruity to nutty to decadent chocolate. The quality is top-notch, and I can't wait to try more!"“

“The Bellmore Carvel is very special. The amount of love and care put into my son's birthday cake exceeded my expectations. Amanda is so talented and you can tell she is passionate about designing cakes. She even called me personally to ask if she could alter the cake a bit from the image I provided. It came out a million times better than the image! Thank you, I will only be ordering from you guys in the future!“

I can’t wait to try them all?

We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“

The best flavor in my opinion was the pomegranate raspberries. The workers are always polite and clean up the place. They have cute thermal spoons too definitely 10/10“

“It’s not just Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel .. any day is great for a Sundae ! Was given a sample cup of the Strawberry Soft Serve because I said I had never had it before .. it was amazing. Had my favorite on this night though .. Chocolate ice cream with Strawberry topping and whipped cream on top. Great service here !“

“Hands down one of the best dessert spots around! I stopped by this Ralph’s Italian Ices and tried the Dubai Chocolate Sundae—and WOW, it was next level. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, every bite felt like a chocolate lover’s dream come true. The layers were perfectly balanced, and the presentation? Instagram-worthy. You can tell they put real thought into their flavors and quality. Definitely coming back to try more! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out.“

“This place is great! We were immediately greeted and encouraged to sample as many flavors as we wanted.

The shop is family forward, laid back, and approachable but the product screams quality! The taste, texture and mouth feel of the ice cream felt premium throughout the 4 flavors we got.

What I love about this place is the creativity. The flavors are all different than the usual stuff, while feeling like your classic go-to. We got toasted marshmallow ice cream with oreos and graham crackers, blackberry with dark chocolate chips, bananas foster, and salted caramel brownie.

The establishment was clean and well kept. The staff was very friendly. A young man named Chino helped us out and answered all of our questions in a professional and friendly way. When we asked for recommendations, he gave real answers and pointed out his favorites. I also feel like the price was great. For the quantity and quality of what you get, its way worth it.

I have been waiting for another great ice cream spot to take the place of Five Pennies and I think this is it. It beats the pants off of anything else in the RVC, Lynbrook, Oceanside, East Rockaway area.“

“Ice Cream n Tings has very friendly staff and excellent customer service. The shop is cute, clean, and the prices are great. The ice cream is delicious! They aren’t normally open on Mondays, but still served us anyway, which was really appreciated. I love supporting a Black Jamaican-owned business and will definitely be returning.“

“Love the new flavor, Nutella!“

“Ice cream on the beach. Thank you for being here. Every time we drive by I know one thing that makes me happy enjoying your ice cream while walking along the beautiful long beach. It is romantic for both the heart and the senses.

I enjoyed two scoops as the sun kissed the sky at sunset with birds playing in the gentle waves. But the ice cream melted so quickly that I barely had time to take a photo. I had to eat it fast and it started dripping onto my hands just a few steps down the beach. I wish it were a bit firmer like a popsicle so I could enjoy it more slowly.“

“Awesome place and such a friendly staff. This place has been around since 1985 ❤️“

“Childhood memory unlocked! Nothing better than having a Carvel ice cream cake for your 🎂 My friend and I couldn't just walk by, it was a MUST that we went in...Lol
Friendly service, clean, and still good quality ice cream 🍦 Not a lot of places sell grapenut ice cream, so I was happy I got to enjoy a cup 😊
I can't wait to come back on my next trip!!“

“The best Ralph's on Long Island and the most incredible operators! Thank you for all the years of joy!“

“Love this place. Wish they had more of them in the city limits. Visited this location, south street seaport and the location in coney island. The staff is always super friendly, the custard and flavored ices are always so fresh. I got the vanilla custard with the cherry ice! (Which has real bits of cherry in it!). They have a parking lot which is super Convienent. Check out the pictures!“

“The Best Ice Cream around! The store is always clean and the staff is very friendly!“

“Excellent front counter guy! Carvel has the best soft serve ice cream!“

“I ordered a cappuccino at the Gran Café Gelateria and it was really really good. I paid $5 for a large . I did notice they also had Ferrero Rocher ice cream, which I asked the young ladies to try and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be returning to Lynbrook just to try for ice cream here! The service was also very friendly!“

“Great service and allergen friendly! My daughter has a few different food allergies which makes eating from ice cream shops very nerve wracking. Sam’s Scoops was very accommodating and knowledgeable about food allergies. Would definitely come back!“

“Highly recommend!!! Amazing flavors and so many it’s hard to decide. Owner is so friendly and let my kids try many flavors. Reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back!!! 🍦“

I definitely will continue to come to this ralph!“

“Unique ice cream and delightful employees! Why can’t I see where to put 5 stars here? 💜💜💜💜💜“

“I had such an amazing experience at Ralph’s Ice Cream, and it’s all thanks to Mia! From the moment I got to there she greeted me with the warmest smile and made me feel like a valued customer right away. Even though there was a bit of a line she stayed calm, upbeat, and professional the entire time. She handled each order with care and patience, making sure everyone got exactly what they wanted without ever seeming rushed or overwhelmed.When it was my turn, I had a few specific requests for my order and Mia didn’t hesitate or get annoyed like some people might. Instead she listened carefully, gave great suggestions, and made sure everything came out perfect. The way she took the time to double-check and make my treat exactly the way I like it showed how much pride she takes in her job. On top of that, she kept such a positive vibe that it made the whole experience even better something you don’t always get at places that are super busy.
Honestly, workers like Mia are rare. She goes above and beyond just taking orders she creates a whole experience that makes customers want to come back. She’s respectful, hardworking, and truly cares about doing her job well. I hope Ralph’s management sees how lucky they are to have someone like her on their team. Mia absolutely deserves recognition and in my opinion a raise for the excellent service she provides! Thank you once again to management and Mia!“

“Love this place. We always try to stop in when we visit family on the island. Would have given it 5 stars, but they didn't have the flavor that I painstakingly waited 6 months for. You let me down Ralph. My puppy enjoyed his treat though. We'll def be back.“

“Fun friendly staff! They have great treats, including ones from my childhood!“

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !“

“friendly, helpful service good food good dessert, love a good Fribble“

“Love this place. David is the best and his cakes are always great. I can go to a Baskin Robbins closer to my house but we love this place so much, it's worth the extra time it takes to get there. Btw, thanks David for Jackson's birthday cake. He LOVED it. =D“

“Such an awesome place to hang out and has amazing customer service. Definitely recommend people coming here“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Red Mango 🥭 in Franklin Square today! The SPK drink I ordered was crafted to perfection by Nicola, and I must say, it was a burst of deliciousness in every sip. But the treats weren't the only highlight – engaging in conversation with Jade was an absolute pleasure. I can't help but commend the exceptional service provided by these two young women. Their warm hospitality and pleasant demeanor truly stood out. It's rare to come across staff members who are both attentive and genuinely hospitable. Nicola and Jade are definitely a testament to the fantastic customer service at Red Mango. Looking forward to many more visits to enjoy not just the treats, but the wonderful atmosphere they create. Kudos to the team! 🍹🌟 #RedMangoDelights #TopNotchService #TreatYourselfRight #franklinsquare 🤩 🏠 ❤️ “#williamjacobs #williamjacobsrealtor #williamjacobsrealestae”“
