38 Best Ice Cream Shops near Middle Island

“I have been going to the Middle Island Carvel for many years. The store is always clean, staff friendly and professional.
Last week I ordered my son’s birthday cake. It was perfect! Not only did it look great, it was delicious. The ice cream was fresh, the “crunchies” were crunchy. The fudge topping was awesome.
Don’t buy Carvel in a supermarket. There is no comparison.“

“Love the flavor selection and the waffle cone chips are the bomb! I get mine to go in a cup and use them instead of a spoon! 😋 My son raves about the campfire smores flavor! 🔥 🍫“

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

“I have to share an incredible story with you.. It’s long so please hang in there. One of my children had their tonsils out last Wednesday. I’m sure when this happens as a child it must be horrible, I know growing up so many of my friends had their tonsils out, but I was completely unprepared for how healing would be for my child who is an adult. The recovery has been so much more than any of us anticipated. For their recovery I was asked if I would bring up Blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s. Off to the store we went, purchased a few half gallons and brought it on the trip with us as we met up with our child the day of surgery. 24 hours after surgery my baby was a mess, the pain was horrible, and the only thing helping was blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s! I called the store and asked if there was a way to ship the ice to my child. The gentleman on the phone, who I now know as the owner of both the Selden Ralph’s and the Farmingville Locations immediately started to explain to me how we may be able to make that work. The next morning, after my child had already gone through a half gallon, I realized I had to try. When I called that day Pat took charge, not only did he do the research for what I needed, he got it all together for me. He even went so far as to tell me that if he couldn’t figure it out he would be willing to drive the 2.5-3 hours to bring it to them. (Let me add in my other child who is on the island with me was just diagnosed with a concussion, and needed me home so I was unable to be with my child who was recovering from surgery 😭) Pat went to UPS for me and picked up the right size box and the packaging I needed. Then he went on to get dry ice to make sure Blue Hawaii would survive the trip. While the local dry ice place wasn’t so kind, he then drove to Bay Shore to another reliable source who helped. (This was now taking up a ton of this mans time, a decision he made to help me to help my child feel better at no additional charge or perks for him. Without his help I would have never been able to figure this out or get it out that day) He packed the order and I had a friend meet up with him who would then take it to UPS for me to ship it out. So off the ice went on its journey. And it arrived 100% prefect to my child the next day. Yesterday I finally had the chance to meet the man who cared enough to go above and beyond for my family. He didn’t have to do this, there was nothing in it for him, he even gave her extra ice, and I honestly believe he would have taken the drive himself. I went back in to purchase yet another gallon and a half for my child who has not spoken since the surgery but when I FaceTimed them from his store yesterday they did so to thank this wonderful man blue tongue and all 😂. As I am now sitting on the ferry reflecting I needed to share this story with all of you. I am a big believer in being there for one another and what a random act of kindness can do and the impact it can have. This man could have just left it, he could have told me how to do it, and I could have attempted to stumble through while caring for my other child recovering at home yet he went the extra mile for my family. We already were huge fans of Ralph’s but they will now be our one and only stop. I hope if you have never given them a shot you will <3 and my child’s suggestion of course is try Blue Hawaii! I can’t wait to bring her more ice today!“

“Perfect ice cream every time. Must give it a try please.“

“The kids working there are always fantastic! It’s what makes Farmingville location better then all other Ralph’s locations“

“Carvel is classic. A nice, busy Carvel on William Floyd, on your way to the beach. They have all the basics Carvel has to offer. A nice staff and a clean Carvel. Nowhere to sit though. It's a take out and eat in your car Carvel, as usual.“

“Simply cannot believe the negative reviews…I have been going here for years and I’m pleased with every experience. Probably upwards of 25-30 times since it’s been open.

Complaints about the prices? You control how much frozen yogurt and toppings go in your cup! It’s weighed! How about you take…less? Like, what?!

The owner is always lovely and efficient and the place is spotless. They seem to take so much pride in keeping it clean.

Will continue to patron this establishment and I absolutely recommend it.“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream. I had cookies + cream and Smores flavour, would really recommend them! Friendly and helpful people behind the counter, sweet little place, good for the family with 3 booths inside and seating outside. Classic place, give it a visit!“

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

“Love this carvel. I skip past 2-3 on my way just to come to here! I have orders with Anthony, Sam & Jiaqui and they are outstanding. They demonstrate beautiful customer service & make the experience more than just ordering ice cream! You are appreciated.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Lovely family-owned business with an amazing selection and outstanding customer service! I love that the boxes come with so many more bars than you get in the supermarket!! Plus, you can find items here that you never see in the supermarkets!!“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“A clean Carvel in a busy shopping 🛒🛍️ center. May I suggest putting a couple tables with chairs. Up front by the entrance and exit doors. You certainly have the room for it. Also offer soda 🥤 as well my daughter's and I would love to sit and relax in this Carvel. 🍨 🍦.“

“I went with my kiddos, it's a place we always end up because their varities of flavors is incredible. We always get something new, we try to taste every flavor. Only thing is prices have been hiking up and I get it, it's everywhere.“

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! And Carla Marla’s hears you! Delicious ice cream, hand scooped and some candy and many toppings there too. Cool off, slow down and enjoy some ice cream, all sizes and with whip cream, if you like!“

“Excellent ice cream as always but a little pricey Nothing is changed but the price“

“Great ice cream and treats. Friendly staff!!“

“I love the vanilla ice cream sundae with hot fudge strawberries walnut whipped cream and cherry �“

“I love kilwins fudge best ever“

“The staff seemed reluctant to understand who was paying and was surprised that I wanted to make an order for myself as well... Just very cold personalities like robots. Not friendly or inviting, more like they did not like us or looked at us like second rate citizens.There is no need to profile or judge anyone because of the way they dress or by what they drive. I had lots of cash, but do not look at me as if I do not belong.If this is the case, close your shop. I am a paying customer and deserve to be treated with Respect!“

“You guys made my dairy free soft serve dream cone true! Last time I visited we discovered your soft serve dairy free chocolate and vanilla menu addition! At that time I hinted how I would die and go to heaven if you ever added a dairy free peanut butter soft serve…much to be delight…today we visited and you did just that!!! Thank you thank you thank you! It was DELICIOUS!!! Fan for life with customer service like that!“

“I have been loving Colosseo pizza since jr High school. Thats over 40 plus years and somehow they have not drop a notch in greatness. In todays time, there are so many critics of pizza being so widely loved, but these guys are a Long Island staple.

Inside, its very clean and moves quick in all respects be take-out, by the slice or sit down in their back dining room. Nothing super fancy but your coming for their great pizza!“

“Their soft serve 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.“

“We visit the Shirley store regularly (maybe too regularly 😜) and are always greeted by the lovely staff who are very quick and flawless with taking orders. I would give five stars if they didn't run out of the popular flavors so quickly.“

“Love this place. This best frozen yogurt and so many toppings even though I only take one. Kids will love it. It is very clean and every person who ever waited on me there has provided good service and had a positive attitude. Tuesday is buy one get one. Love the tart flavor and good old vanilla the best. There are many flavors to choose from.“

“I love Anthony’s Pizza. Always my go-to. Friendly and delicious every time!“

“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.“

“Food was great. Kind of disappointed that I wasn't offered a refill to go when I asked for a to go box for my food. Guess the waitress was super busy.“

“so yummy!!! so yummy!!!!!“

“What a nice place. We come here very often and the employees are always pleasant and helpful, especially Jennifer. They're in a great location at the East Wind Shoppes... go have fun and stop in here. I highly recommend it“
