50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manhasset

“A great spot for treats if you are in the mood! Expect to wait a while if you come here! Kith used to allow indoor ordering but now you must wait outside of the Hirshleifers store to order. I like to come here randomly so waiting during the cold months is the worst so that's why I put it as 4 stars. Staff are usually helpful and patient. Today the staff was really dedicated to making my order and took his time with adding the toppings before handing them off to me! I loved it and it looked delicious. The treats are perfection! They sell ready to order treats that can be ordered as an ice cream or shake, or you can customize your order as you please ! They include from candies, syrups to cereals, in which get blended together with the ice cream! Pricing I think is pretty reasonable and they tend to fill up the cup with as much ice cream as possible !“

“I come here some Wednesdays for the BOGO soft serve. The same two guys are always here and they are always very polite and helpful. Some days there are crowds of kids or families waiting to be served and they still provide good service. I love Carvel in general and this is a good location, very reliable. Parking can be iffy if there isn't anything open on the street but you may just need to find something residential or a block or so away and walk.“

“Their gelato is literally the best gelato I have ever tasted. You can tell it’s all homemade and made from the heart. I have been here several times and have tried so many of their flavors and so far not a single flavor has disappointed me. I 100% recommend this place. If you don’t come here you are missing out on the BEST gelato ever.“

“A fantastic dessert shop that specializes in all things mango! The atmosphere is cozy. I tried the mune A8, and was blown away by the freshness and flavor. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. If you're a fan of mango or just looking for a delicious treat, this place is a must-visit. Can't wait to go back!---“

“10 out of 5 stars. Finally , found the perfect gelato place for me. No sugar coma for you . Not overwhelming sweetness on their gelatos unlike other gelato places. Owner is creative and know how to think outside the box. They change their menus so you won't get bored. Some of my favorites: Lavender, earl gray, ube . They have seasonal drinks that were awesome too.“

“Had the spongebob ice cream and cookie monster and tried a few free samples on the house. They were all super delicious. This place does not disappoint . I will be returning a few more times. Yummy @$$ ice cream..lolThe owner casually mentioned that customers come from as far as Westchester County and Connecticut. I believe it . The trip is well worth it even for nyc locals.Very friendly atmosphere and nostalgic vibe with the decor as well. ??“

“The first time I had Rita's was at the Bellefonte DE location. I remember the cake batter custard and watermelon gelati being extremely good, but that I got a brain freeze from slurping on the gelati layer too fast. I always wondered what the Italian ice would taste like blended in with the custard. The "blendini" today (custard, Oreo bites, mango gelati thanks to Yousef's recommendation, and hot fudge) was like a McFlurry on steroids, with all of the ingredients perfectly blended. No brain freeze and a much needed fix when you desire cream on a snowy weekend. Friendly service made this visit a great experience. Glad to take advantage of this location before it starts to get packed during the summer months.“

“Delicious treats for the discerning palate!! The flavors are subtle but powerful. The owner and staff are delightful. Great way to end a date or to mark the end of a crazy workweek. They're open until 10 pm, so you can satisfy that late evening impulse for something sweet.“

“Great for a late night craving! Thank you for providing an additional sense of security while we enjoy our treat. The pillars in front of your establishment goes unnoticed by many, being in the security industry, i have to say……. This shows you care about not only your staff, but the customers waiting in line.“

“These are all my cookies i have ever gotten from crumbl. They were all delicious. Cannot eat a whole cookie in one sitting tbh but that is not a bad thing at all! That means I can savor the cookie over a period of time woo! My favs from the times I've got crumbl were blueberry cheesecake, snickerdoodle cupcake, cannoli and cinnamon square! Many awesome and yummy flavors. The store is very clean and smells of fresh cookies. Yummmm“

“I have been going to Ralph's in Whitestone since it opened. The best ices i have ever tasted. I but two quarts every week. What makes Ralphs even more special is the owner Marybeth who treats you like family. She asks about your health, your family and is truly interested in how you are doing. The only negative is that they are closed in the winter! Love you Marybeth“

“I would've given them a perfect star. I mean the times I've come here they've all been nice. It just seems like tonight I don't know. Had one girl there she finished serving someone else but then when she saw me she decided to go wash her hands pick up a rag find something else to wipe down even though the fact I was standing there, and I felt the energy shift because of the color but yet when someone else have of the same color came , she decided to stop what she was doing and ask them, How can I help you in mind you each time I come here always leave a tip but it's all good.... thanks to the gentleman that helped me....But over all their stuff is great!!!!“

“In doing an Aperol Spritz themed bridal shower for my daughter we rented the Aperol spritz tricycle from Dolce & Gelato. I started contacting Gino Parente the minute my daughter got engaged.? I’m an earlier planner. Gino was so responsive and so kind immediately. Nothing was a problem for him. He is unbelievable with communicating, I called him at least 15 times. ?. He takes the time out to speak to you as if you are his only customer. A truly professional man to work with . On the day of the shower the tricycle was decorated beautifully with fake flowers and the bar attendant Katherine was fantastic! My daughter and our guests had an absolute blast getting drinks from the cart and taking photos. So much fun! I’ll definitely be using Gino’s company Dolce & Gelato again! A truly wonderful experience working with him!“

“Good gelato, they don't get frustrated when you can't decide on one of their many delicious flavors and allow you many samples. Simple and effective service. I think the interior is a bit bland but it's not bad just very minimal however it is very clean! Definitely Would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Some vegan and No Added Sugar options availableWheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance“

“Omg this places is the bomb.I got the Cookie Monster. It had Oreos Chips ahoy and cookie dough also a little chocolate chips for the chips ahoy.The ice cream consistency is perfect gooey and solid at the same time.The service was great she was nice.Also the parking was nice, other ice cream and icy places only have like 2-4 slots of parking this one had 10.The menu was nice had a lot of options.“

“I came upon this shop while looking for a quick bite to eat. Service was fast and very friendly. They have tons of options and everything is good quality. The shop was also very clean. There are chairs outside to enjoy your frozen treats. Overall I definitely recommend stopping here for dessert after dining at one of the many restaurants near by.“

“Get the 4 scoop sundae, good for 3 ppl R $11. That's a solid steal! Replace pineapple with berries and have a mix of nuts rather than one.Downside is the hot fudge melted the ice cream so it was like eating soup.Keep the ice cream solid and visible rather than underneath the whip cream.Cool old blast to the past parlour look. Good chill time.“

“this place was great to try. as soon as i heard of it, i knew i wanted to try it. i got some vanilla soft serve and it tasted really good! only downside is that they don’t have chocolate soft serve ☹️ but besides that, good experience overall :)“

“Service was top tier the man at the counter was very kind and did everything with a smile. Something I noticed that was different from most baskin Robbins I go to is that the environment was more comfortable and they have a much better variety of flavors to choose from. Another thing was the way he scooped, wasn’t stingy at all and made sure that the entire cup was filled and sealed the lid perfectly. I also ordered a custom cake and it was done beautifully it was a pink cake with a drake song-design on the top and roses on the perimeter/exterior. The quality of the ice cream itself just from looks alone and the taste was a perfect texture and the baby blue of the Cookie Monster ice cream was amazing. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and are looking for some good ice cream.“

“I stopped by go nuts for sweets because I needed a quick gift for a last minute bday party. The lady was super sweet. She had me pick out the items I wanted and she put it all together for me and made me this basket looking so cute for the birthday girl. As I waited, I also ordered a tiramisu bubble tea. I was hesitant at first because I didn’t know how that would taste but I’m so glad I did!! The drink was super delicious girl let me tell you! I will definitely be back, and I promise if you go you’ll love it too(the kids will love u for bringing them) ? thank you for the lady who took care of me!“

“Charming neighborhood with the friendliest locals I’ve ever encountered in NY. It’s a beautiful drive here from Queens and randomly found a place that serves Hawaiian style shaved ice. It was delicious and I ordered the tropical shaved ice. The staff were very helpful, environment is clean and plenty of parking. I’m definitely going back to try more of their flavors/toppings!“

“Mamita's ices are just a flavorful treat on a nice sunny or hot day.you wouldn't be disappointed. My favorite is the coconut cream and the raspberry cream. Service was normal. Fast and straight to the point when you familiar with what you like. Clean and organized atmosphere.“

“3.5 for food 4 for service Big space, ample seating with a photobooth in the back. The interior is a bit hodge podge. You'll see modern lighting mixed with paintings and antiques and old records. Like the design, you'll also find a mix of things to choose from like gelato to cookies, pastries, donuts, macarons and breakfast sandwiches? We got the original bingsoo which was had a hefty portion of mochi and red bean. Taste was okay, I think there was way too much mochi. Could've used more soybean powder or sub with nuts. I also got a raspberry jelly filled donut which had a nice fluffy dough but the jelly inside was too sweet. I've also sampled their black sesame and passion fruit gelato which were both decent but not the best gelato imo. Place is clean and service was good so i gave 4 stars instead of 3!“

“This is one of the most aesthetic dessert places I've been to. Great for friends and family to gather, have a chat and get some yummy dessert. I visited in winter so some of the items I.e. durian was served frozen. Most of the items were pretty good, only item I would pass is the mango sticky rice because the rice wasn't sweetened and the sauce on the side did not absorb when poured over.“

“Great local ice cream, very good flavors and great prices ??. Will definitely be returning.I had the Tres Leches Ice Cream as well as the coffee. Absolutely recommend.They have a good amount of different flavors as well as non dairy options including fresh juices if you're looking for something different“

“Mad good homemade taste. No artificial smell or after taste. Just pure milk, cream, and delight. Sweet but not sugary. $8 for 3 scoops or $9 for a pint to take home but then you only get one flavor. Be fun if they made combo pints to take home.Google hours are not reliable so call first.Staff is always cool and friendly. Go take a walk by the water in the back.“

“This spot is truly a hidden gem in the Westbury area. The essence of Nana's is that of an ice cream parlor and coffee shop with baked goods. However they also serve beer and cocktails alongside some quick eats such as burgers, and special menu items such as gumbo or shrimp & grits. On Wednesday evenings they have a fun Trivia Night which is free to join. Nana's is a slice of New Orleans hospitality in the middle of Nassau County.“

“This location reopened Summer of 2021 after repairs from a car that plowed into it a few years ago. Now surrounded by bollards to (hopefully) prevent another car from closing the store again. They added a few new flavors of soft-serve. Better than ever.“

“I called this morning and spoke with Maryann about my food allergies. I decided to try 3 Towns Cafe for the first time. It was less than a 20-minute walk from my house. The ambiance was perfect for brunch, lunch, and dessert dates. Soup of The Day *Ask for a sample* Beef Barley Soup + Oyster Crackers: I loosened the tight lid slowly to avoid spilling the soup. The beef barley soup was hearty. Health Shots Hot Shot: The hot shot (2oz) was spicy because of the cayenne and the black pepper. It gave me a good kick. Crêpe or Croffle Ham & Cheese Croffle: The ham & cheese croffle was flaky and yummy. Bakehouse I bought these nut-free baked goods below. Apple Turnover: The apple turnover was flaky and yummy. The apple filling was sweet. Fudge Brownie: The fudge brownie was chocolaty and yummy. Gelato "Last Drop" Gelato Special (Pumpkin Spice) + mini sugar cone: The gelato tasted like a slice of homemade pumpkin pie. This was my favorite. One word: Scrumptious Maryann, thank you for providing excellent customer service! FYI, I downloaded the Clover app to earn rewards! Bookmark this spot to try!“

“Once inside, I find myself tasting all the treats in this veritable abbondanza of pastries, cookies, cakes and, of course, Teresa’s special Italian Ices. I’m especially partial to the Lilly with Nuts. It a uniquely New York flavor that Teresa captures so well. Although I’m not from the neighborhood, it certainly worth the trip. During one visit, I was fortunately confronted by a warm tray of freshly baked miniature sfogliatella sitting in parchment paper. I can still relish the experience. Whether it’s ices or baked goods, one is never overwhelmed by the note of sweetness, it rather the distinct flavor of the treat that shines through. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Located within the vibrant Tangram Mall in Flushing, Queens, Maiko Matcha is a haven for matcha enthusiasts and dessert aficionados alike. With its unwavering commitment to quality and a passion for Japanese culinary traditions, Maiko Matcha promises an unforgettable taste experience that transcends expectations.During my recent visit to Maiko Matcha, I was instantly captivated by the serene ambiance and inviting aroma of freshly brewed matcha. As someone who typically isn't a matcha aficionado, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality and nuanced flavor profile of their matcha offerings. Each sip was a symphony of delicate flavors, perfectly balanced and exquisitely crafted to delight the senses.In addition to their exceptional matcha beverages, Maiko Matcha offers a tantalizing array of desserts that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. We indulged in their Strawberry Soft Serve, a refreshing treat that boasted the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, leaving us craving more with each spoonful.One of the highlights of our visit was the Mochi Waffle, a delightful fusion of Japanese and Western culinary influences.“

“I tried the mango salmon poke bowl and it was an absolute delight! The combination of fresh mango chunks with tender salmon slices was refreshing and flavorful. The presentation was beautiful, and each bite was a burst of tropical goodness. The portion size was generous, leaving me feeling satisfied yet craving more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and healthy meal option“

“The best selection of Italian-style ices. Not your typical supermarket or pizza place Italian ice. High quality product at fairly steep prices. Still, the best place to get ices in the area. There are better places for ices in Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the best place I’ve found on Long Island.“

“The best chocolatier in the NY-metro area! Great array of unique and interesting flavors that one doesn't see anywhere else. You can tell they put their heart into their craft. I am eating art. Great for gifting, the recipients always love their treats. The staff are always very nice and helpful.“

“Nice ice cream spot. There’s soo many different flavors of ice cream and toppings. The workers are friendly and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint is that it was very hot inside the establishment. The food and ice cream was good. My kids & I will return to this ice cream shop.“

“My friends and I were looking for a place where we could have desert after lunch and found YOLO. We had the most delightful experience at this ice cream parlor. The place was cute and cozy. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful, making our visit even more enjoyable.They had a good variety of flavors and toppings, and we couldn't resist tasting a few. Each scoop was a burst of flavor, and the texture was incredibly smooth. I personally liked blackberry and pistachio ones. Whether you're an ice cream enthusiast or just looking for a sweet treat, this parlor is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings.“

“I typically hit this location in the spring and/or summertime, anytime I visit my sister and her children. There are so many different flavors here, but I am sure they have something for each and every customer that comes by. Friendly staff and great portion sizes. I typically try to try something new each time that I go.“

“I ordered the rolled ice cream for my daughter’s birthday and we ordered the banana pudding flavor, the candy flavor and the Oreo flavored rolled ice cream. They were all very delicious. I highly recommend. You have options of toppings like cereal or chocolate chip or whipped topping etc and also for the type of syrup that you want on top .There are lots of toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to try them all?Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian type options from the plant based ice cream to the toppings eg, fruit loops, cookie crisps, dark chocolate chips etcKid-friendliness: Cereal flavors for kids to choose from“

“i have been coming to aunty for snow cones whenever i am in the area since i was young, the ice with condensed milk is absolutely delicious and everyone working there is so pleasant, overall a great experience every time i come and i recommend her to anyone in the area.“

“I recently visited Lucky Penguin for the first time and had the pleasure of trying their matcha crepe, while my friend opted for the Ferrero Rocher rolled ice cream. Let me tell you, the matcha crepe was a revelation - it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Special thanks to the young man working there who recommended it to me; he really knows his stuff! The customer service was outstanding as well; they even gave me extra sauce topping for free. Yum! Lucky Penguin is a must-visit for dessert lovers.“

“Love this place!! You literally have to go to view her artistry in making the specialty shakes. I have had a few of them and all are delicious. Not just shakes, refresher drinks and bubble teas, grilled cheese and more. Love her iced coffee too! Very friendly and accommodating. You should definitely go give them a try, you wont be disappointed.“

“Classic American food! Burger and fries. Sid’s is an ideal spot for a delicious burger with some Cajun-seasoned fries. Good customer service and I received my food fairly quickly.You don't need McDonald's when you have Sid’s. I do recommend trying their brownies as a finisher. I will return for more awesome food.“

“What a fun and tasty summertime treat! If you "but it's just a snow cone" you are mistaken this is much softer, fluffier and definitely a Snoball! This is the kind if treat once took my first spoonful I was already plotting when I could Come to eat it again and why did I only get a regular sized when I should have gone BIGGER. There are over 100 flavors to pick from and additives and more so truly you can go wild. I really enjoyed coconuts tutti fruti, tigers blood so far. I wish I had one sooner. Lots of young people working behind the counter but they had a smile on their faces 5/5 stars!“

“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. 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 :)“

“Nice little shop. The pistachio had a good amount of sweetness to it. Not overpowering so you can taste the pistachio flavor. Nice bits of pistachio inside the ice cream too so it had some crunch. Would go back to try other flavor. Under $8 for 2 scoops on a waffle cone. Not bad considering it took me like 20 minutes to eat while driving ?. No mess!“

“This small cafe is a great stop for a quick bite or drink. They pay attention to detail and things are made in house. It is conveniently located next to a local Chinese supermarket and an elementary school. Fortunately, there is a parking lot that has tons of space available for free.The cafe is quite small and meant for a quick order and pick up, but there's some seating for a sit down. Indoor Sit down is only for 3-4 people. You can place your order either by walking in or calling ahead of time to pick up. I ordered lumpia and it was cooked right away just as I ordered it. It was fresh and crispy. Definitely homemade. One order comes with 5 pieces along with a sweet and sour sauce. The chicken bacon avocado wrap is filling with lots of vegetables and protein. Flavor wise, everything is quite balanced. The Hawaiian chia bowl had mangos, bananas and granola on top. It was just sweet enough and not overpowering. Decent portion. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my liking. If you'd like flavored lemonade, expect it to be flavored syrup mixed with some lemonade. It's delicious but quite sweet. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a quick bite, but not really for a sit down spot.“

“Delightful little Italian, American café, they have gelato, also other Italian style ice cream's that are ready-made in their freezer,, they have your standard, Italian and American coffees and other drinks, some baked goods, everything was good and delicious. The place is very clean. Plenty of places to sit down. It's in the neighborhood, so there is no parking lot. Nice little corner location, they also have a gift baskets and they sell coffee mugs and imported Italian coffee makers,“

“My favorite was the warm Nutella cookie. Not too sweet but so delicious! Everything looks amazing,we tried the harvest cookie camp and the milky puff it was fresh made almost front of you, service fast and excellent. It was a nice international women’s day treat?“

“Great workers who always make it a quick and easy process helping either me or my dad when we go for our lunch break most days during the week, just gotta walk in ask for "The Usual" and the Girl with the great smile always hooks it up, much “

“we love sweet charlies its so delicious! Anu is the best and so welcoming and nice every time we come!
