Ice Cream Shops near Mineola

“Who ever the guy was working earlier today was extremely helpful, great spirit and such an awesome person. He got my order right to the teeeee!!!! I really hope he gets recognized for his hard work and most importantly, customer service. If I was in the food business I'd hire him on the spot . Really awesome. Thank you again good sir if you ever do read this or your employer recognizes you.“

“I ordered a lot and they forgot a few things. The guy behind the counter acted skeptically when I told him he had forgotten to give me some of the stuff I ordered. He never gave me a receipt so I could prove what I had paid for. Ultimately he gave me the rest of the order without much resistance, but it felt kinda shady like he assumed I wouldn't remember all the stuff I asked for. Sometimes it pays to be of a large and imposing size.Parking: Adequate parking.Wheelchair accessibility: I did not see any adequate wheelchair access. At least not from the parking lot where someone who might park actually try to enter the store from.“

“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.“

“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 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!!!!“

“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“

“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“

“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.“

“I love the variety of gelatos at Dolce Gelato. All the flavors I've had are delicious. I like the fact that they keep the gelatos with nuts separate from the ones that do not have nuts.I don't have to worry about cross contamination because when I tell the person's serving me that my son has a nut allergy, they take care in keeping my sons order separate if needed.I have never had a negative experience at this gelato shop. The workers are professional and friendly. The place is clean pleasant to sit and eat your gelato.“

“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!“

“Beautiful interior and decor! Really enjoy the ambitious here, it's a comfy spot for families and friends to sit and enjoy. Had the Chicken Tikka as "appetizers" and the Steaks as the "main course". Everything was rich and juicy! The Tomahawk as beautifully cooked (medium is theee way to go) and the side Mac n cheese was amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Rolled ice cream is always a fun treat! They had lots of flavor options and I chose piña colada. All were $8 and came with unlimited toppings! I didn't realize at first the toppings were unlimited or I would have gotten more! I saw that they even toast marshmallows with a torch for you upon request as a topping. Ice cream was delicious and the staff friendly. They had a few tables inside and a bench outside to enjoy your ice cream. Parking could be a little tricky, as it was street parking only but we were able to easily find a spot around the corner.“

“Nice find on a hot summer day. Adventurous menu with ample flavor combinations. Compliment your sweet treat with fluffy waffle sticks that pack a crunch. Service was standard, employees had low energy or seemed to not want to be there so that could improve. Me and my fiancée would go back to try some more for sure“

“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 only place in the area to go when you're craving Italian Gelato! Their gelato more closely resembles gelato I've had in Italy, compared to other places who do not specialize in this.The staff and owners are helpful. Even though there are a million signs saying "only two samples per person", they were kind enough to give us more samples for our kids when it wasn't busy. The area is not the best for me, but if it's convenient for you, I'd definitely check them out!“

“This ice cream shop is one of our favorite spots in EM. My friends travel from queens to get ice cream from here. They have flavors that we love Guava, Passionfruit, Mango, Tamarind, etc. Everything that you can't find in a normal spot. If the flavors that I listed are too much, it's ok they have normal ice cream too. The service is individuals, but the staff are very attentive to your needs. So don't rush them.“

“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.“

“Carvel is literally a taste of my childhood.Whenever a birthday or another event arose that "required" a cake, we always got a carvel cake with the famous crunchies. Well to this day, my childhood carvel still exists in the same locale and i enjoy their cakes and other icey treats just as much. And Wednesdays are especially the day to go if you get the urge, because they are 2 for 1 on sundaes.. CANT BEAT THAT!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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 was so excited to try Ralph's after I've heard such amazing things but especially after I heard about their new doughnado. I ordered the triple chocolate brownie doughnado with a chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist, and it was the best tasting food I've ever put in my mouth. It was the perfect combination of ice cream and cookie dough, and they offer enough flavors to satisfy anyone. Aside from the doughnado, they offer an enormous amount of creme ice flavors (this is not ice cream)...so many that it's almost stressful to choose (good problem to have)! Wish they would expand to MA!“

“Such a cute old school candy store. Lots of types of chocolates and other favorites.It was a bit hard to find as the sign in the window is quite small and the bigger "DMV Services" sign makes you think you are in the wrong place.“

“Best cupcakes I've ever had. The pink vanilla are classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and are my favorite. They are very soft and moist. They stay fresh for a few days after I buy them. Friendly staff and clean store. They make very cute cupcakes for all holidays. Highly recommend.“

“very good, always cools me down on a hot day, and you can almost always find a new flavor to try out due to their wide variety of choises, and flavors are also realy flavorful(idk a better word) and the little chunks of fruit they put in(for some flavors, not all) make it so good. Will keep coming back for more as the summer approaches!“

“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 :)“

“The ices are always delicious, but I’m giving these 5 stars to the girls that worked when I went today. There was a huge family ahead of me and the mom was awful, difficult, and frustrating to everyone behind us. The girls behind the counter were so kind even though the woman was insane and it shows how professional they are.“

“We had a cake ordered , actually two cakes for my two kids bdays on two occasions . Bakery has amazing choices of fillings and options . Both my kids had the pictures they wanted to replicate and Dylan and her team exceeded our expectations on presentation and taste price was also good ! It’s my go to place ! Highly recommend! Thanks again for making my kids birthday an amazing event! Also ordered cakes for smaller occasions ! Amazing flavours !“

“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!“

“Cash only. Been going to Bonanza’s my entire life, every time we’re in the area, we stop by. Fresh lemon Italian ice is the classic but other flavors are lovely as well. Hot dogs are simple and delicious.Kid-friendliness: There are picnic benches in back. Great for when the kids want to eat their ices immediately.“

“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.“

“Wow! Amazing ice cream! Stopped here on my way home from the beach and will definitely return. My husband had the cherry vanilla and my son had Cookie Monster. Both raved about their ice cream. I tried the chocolate soft serve vegan and it was better than regular soft serve. It actually tasted like chocolate and didn't melt right away. I wish I lived closer to this place. It would be my go to! Don't pass this place up. It's worth it!“

“Chocolate Mousse Chip creme ice is my fave. I get CMC 9 out of 10 times. Caribbean Splash water ice is outrageous. Can't go wrong with Cotton Candy ice cream. Parking sucks and Merrick Ave sucks but it's Ralph's! they can do no wrong!“

“The end of Spring has arrived and Rita's is now open! They open every year from spring to end of summer and does not disappoint! I tried their strawberry icee mixture with vanilla custard. Very tasty and refreshing. Not to be bias I went this past Sunday again and tried the mango icee flavor with the vanilla custard. There are many flavor options of icee as well as custard to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. They are located directly next door to Nathan's in Oceanside. When in the area, stop by and give them a try..:// you will not be disappointed! And don't forget to tip the hardworking high schoolers working there“

“we love sweet charlies its so delicious! Anu is the best and so welcoming and nice every time we come! My go to is the build my own with strawberry base and fruity pebble mix in and honey drizzle is so delicious and all my friends ive brought here say its delicious as well! The store is nice and clean and its always a fun time when we come“

“Decided to go here since nip's ice cream parlor was closed and I knew I made a good decision. Their ice cream is always delicious no matter what the flavor is. Along with the flavor of ice cream was the service that was given. The servers were very nice and polite handling the request of the ice cream that was requested. I always enjoy having ice cream from here considering how great it is along with the service with it too. I highly recommend coming here for ice cream especially with all the flavors that they offer.“

“Needed a cake for my daughters birthday ...this was my first time going in this place as I've heard so much about it over the years. Was able to get a delicious cake that same day! I ordered it at noon and was able to pick up a few hours later. She told me to pick any two flavors from the many flavors she had...I picked the colors...it turned out lovely!! I picked the spumoni and the cappuccino brownie...both were delicious!! My family kept asking where I got this cake and we'll definitely be back for more“

“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“
