50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Melville

“Love the convenience of having this next door to Mario’s. The other Ralph’s is open seasonally and this one is open year round. Scott is wonderful and works with schools to do fundraisers and can also do school events where they bring their trailer and serve ices to the kids.“

“las hamburguesas son buenísimas...“

“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.“

“I wish this establishment the best of luck. They have quality products. The store is sparkling clean.“

“This place is amazing been going here since I was a kid I'm 50 now wouldn't get ice cream any other place got to check this place out“

“If you want a place to go eat with dirty hands this is the one! Bathroom is always closed but there’s an alley not too far away. You can tell management really cares about the customer experience when they keep the bathroom closed from customers. And they even have tables, that alone would be a health department violation(tables without a working bathroom) but who has time to call them anyway? I think the stuff here is delicious but it could also be the flavor from the last customer on the door handle so who knows?“

“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!“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“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!“

“If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience then this is the place for you. Caffe Italia offers authentic Italian colazione (breakfast) including Bindi pastries, cornetto (croissant), bomboloni (donuts), caffe Italiano, and more.

“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! ♥️“

“I’m amazed-really great service. Friendly staff. Even though the place was hopping, these servers really did a fantastic job and kept smiles on their faces. Bravo Friendlys!!“

“fresh buns and delicious dogs!“

“This place is beyond amazing from the staff and owner nick to the atmosphere & ALL the amazing delicious flavors they had to choose from with an endless tray of toppings. Everybody went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience and were extremely friendly. I will be going back again and again and again! Highly recommended!!!“

“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!“

“So good!!! I won a giveaway and picked these up today!!! Definitely recommend!!“

“Ralph's is a Long Island summer classic for as long as I can remember, and the Lindenhurst location does the name proudly! They have enough flavors of water and cream ices and ice cream that could make your head spin, and they are always adding more. My personal favorites are graham cracker, PB&J, jelly ring, and you can't go wrong with the classics like strawberry or rainbow too. An easy crowd pleaser to bring a bucket along to any BBQ! The girls behind the counter have always been friendly and helpful. Parking in the attached lot can be a lot tight to get in and out of, but luckily it's off the side road and you don't need to worry about Montauk Highway as much.“

“lovee!!!!“

“Loved my candied nut popcorn !!! Ice cream is amazing too. And awesome customer service 👍🏼“

“great homemade ice cream, must try 🍦“

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

“***** (Five Star) Review - The hubby and I love the Hicksville Sweet Shop! It is such a warm and welcoming restaurant/ice cream shop – were everyone knows your name! We reserved a table for Valentines Day and had a wonderful meal consisting of crab cakes, fried shrimp, French fries, vegetables and, for dessert, fresh homemade strawberry shortcake – reservations are rarely needed! Homemade ice cream and chocolates are also delicious! I can honestly say I never had a bad meal at the Hicksville Sweet Shop! Thank you Eva, Phil, Harry, Walter, Alma, Jeannie & Clair❤️e!“

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

“this was a while ago but i love ben and jerrys! such a classic brand. i got the strawberry in a small cup and it was just enough. it was very good! the staff is super nice. the only thing i will say is the air wasn't working right and i wish the AC was on. but other than that it was a nice visit. i knocked over my cup before i could eat it because it was one of those days!!! and he gave me another one no charge. such a sweet cashier.“

“The ratings did not disappoint for sure. My little one always goes with vanilla ice cream. I also tried it. It was very delicious, creamy.
My other son tried watermelon italian ice. It was really good. Just a heads up, a scoop of kids size ice cream is HUGE!

If we lived in the area it would probably be our favorite spot.“

“Went to get some ice-cream after dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in the door. They were quick and efficient. They double checked that certain ice-cream were okay to have with my food allergy. They have a freezer full of premade ice-creams and cakes or you can pick from different size cones or cups. They have different flavors of soft serve or hard ice-cream and many different toppings to choose from. They don't have any seating so we had to take it to go. I was so intent on eating my ice-cream I forgot to take pictures.“

“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 !“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Shoutout our server Leslie! She was so nice!

Great food and cocktails! Loved the pizza. Sitting at the hightops with the street views was nice!

The interior of the restaurant is so beautiful too! Very unique!“

“Kool Kat supplied icecream at my granddaughter birthday party Saturday the 22 of August. It was the Highlight of the day. When everyone heard the beeping of the truck backing into my driveway the happy shouting started. Every adult and child came out to have some. The operator was so pleasant to my guests. Some came back for seconds. The ease of communication to the owners was a breeze throughout. All by text. I would recommend Kool Kat to all my friends and family.“

“Favorite place to visit for a ice cold treat :) Quick service, always got my fav flavor in stock.“

““This is by far the best Carvel I’ve ever been to! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming every time I visit. The service is fast, the store is always clean, and the ice cream is delicious as always. No other Carvel compares to this one — I absolutely love coming here!”“

“Best ice cream I ever had visited from NC!“

“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“

“Omg!!! Avian paletas d nance,aguacate,elote etc,, infinidades de sabores y lo deliciosas q están muy pero muy recomendable y las muchachas q trabajan ahí son muy agradables lo hacen a uno q regresen de nuevo les doy un 💯!!!!“

“Fast service“

“Nowhere else like it. Best ice cream and service you’ll find in the area.“

“Wow! Alkemy Ice Cream is amazing! I def recommend trying it! And especially for a birthday party! My entire experience was fantastic! I stumbled upon Alkemy Ice cream while looking for something unique for a birthday and the owner Alan explained how they do birthday parties almost like a show AND make the dessert. They can host a party at the shop OR they can come to you! I was unsure how it would go but Alan was super friendly, answered all my questions throughly and assured me I would love it. I more than loved it! It was the best ever and we are still talking about it. They came to my house and put on a show for the kids that even they are still talking about how cool it was. It was like having a party and adding a surprise guest with a special science experiment show for additional entertainment that makes amazing unique dessert at the end! Each ice cream was perfectly made and was fresh! The toppings were all fresh as well. Watching the show was fascinating and the kids had so much fun learning. They continued to amaze guests as they made each ice cream right there. I wasn’t sure if each kid would be waiting a while but it didn’t take long to get all the kids ice cream after the show. They whipped it up fast and everyone got to pick toppings and have a perfectly made ice cream quickly. They didn’t need a lot of room and even cleaned up! I so happy to have found them and I will be having them come back again! Start to finish was a perfect experience. I highly recommend them!!!“

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“The best Carvel in the area ! What makes it the best is that they definitely have the friendliest staff. And they keep the place super clean. I take my daughter there at least once a week after her gymnastics class and on more than one occasion have been shown appreciation for our loyalty.“

“Have been going to this location for about 5 years and at least twice a week in peak season. The woman who is always there is the absolute best, I think she is the manager but she is a sweetheart and has the patience of a saint with the crazy customers. She does a beautiful job keeping the location spotless and makes sure my family’s order is handled quickly. Everything we get there is always delicious!“

“They have false advertising on 10% on the wall and then refuse to give it. Otherwise they are fine“

“Their location has changed since the picture was posted. They’ve reopened nearby and introduced a variety of new flavors. My favorite has been the acai bowl, but you really can't go wrong with their cream or water ices. Their banana shake is just as delightful as any of their other specialty shakes and ice creams. I believe I visit them 3 to 4 times a week.“

“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 !“

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

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

“I went there and there customer service was great such a cute spot even the bathroom was extremely cute definitely took some pictures the food was so good I made my own bubble waffle there prices were good and I’d definitely come back again if you are looking for a late night spot to get a treat you should definitely come here 10/10 recommend“

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