50 Best Ice Cream Shops near New Hyde Park

“Great ice cream and dessert experience. Staff is professional and helpful.“

“I'm new to the area and came here for a treat with my kids after school. The gentleman that was there was super friendly and just kind. Tonight I went there to pick up a birthday cake. I forgot to write Happy Birthday and the name. The lady who helped me was really cool about it and added the details for me. The staff that I encountered in this store give out the impression that they enjoy their job and enjoy their customers. Thank you!“

“Love their ice cream cake SO MUCH! And you can also customize it, using any picture you select and it can be printed on the cake (no worry that it's eatable). They have so many different selections for cakes, you can always find what you like, and tastes delicious!!!!“

“Great food and service Clean also“

“Tasty ice cream flavors and friendly service. Plus a fun atmosphere overall !!!“

“This is the cutest ice scream spot in this neighborhood. The owner is also super friendly and welcoming. We tried the waffle and crepes, which were freshly made upon ordering, and they were so delicious. Highly recommend coming here for a sweet treat.“

“I wanted cheesecake bites and had called over the phone to tell them to include it since uber eats didn’t have it as an option, however the man told me they ran out. After we got off the phone I guess he went to the back just to to double check and realized he had a little extra left and went out of his way to scoop out whatever was left in the back to give to me. He even went out of his way to write a note on the bag. Whoever this was, just know we appreciated it so much! Put a huge smile on my face. you’re the absolute best (if your boss sees this u deserve a raise)“

“delicious...variety...love this place“

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“We recently hosted our child’s birthday party at Chillato , and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. From customized decorations and dedicated party host, everything was so well-organized and kid-friendly. The highlight, of course, was decorating custom pops and fresh waffle cones with fun toppings.

The party space was clean, cheerful, and perfectly sized for our group. The kids had a blast, and the adults loved the relaxed, happy vibe (and let’s be real—the ice cream too!).

If you’re looking for a unique, low-stress birthday venue with sweet treats and sweet people, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“Atmosphere and vibes! The novelty of cereal ice cream really depends on how it’s executed, and this spot does it well! Location makes it a perfect date night dessert place to complement your evening on Bell Blvd. In short, you are paying for an experience when coming here. The ice cream is more like a soft serve when mixed with the cereal and carries a price tag of 8 bucks a head. BUT, I will say I left SATISFIED. There’s a plentiful variety of mixing and matching you can do with your order and the staff were friendly. The portion is adequate, and as you can see in the photo, it’s always better with company!“

“My husband, son & I went to mango mango dessert. The service was very nice & people was very sweet. The dessert & teas was great. We would go back again soon.😊“

“Clean location, simple to read menu, and amazing service“

“- "What a hidden gem! Michuacana exceeded my expectations with its rich flavors, generous portions, and warm service. I'll be back soon!

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!"“

“I walked in to this beautiful establishment and I could not figure what out what I wanted. This establishment offers so many different types of choices it’s hard to keep up with all of them. I asked one of the employees what her favorite yogurt flavor was. When asked she said that she likes all of them and would love to help me to a sample. People like this with such kind attitudes make everyday life not as bad. Before leaving I made sure to leave a generous gift in the tip jar. Thank you Katilyn S have a great day.“

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“delicious shaved ice, portion size, swag and value for the price. also a plus that it's located in a cute spot in sea cliff. you need to check this place out when open. only draw back is that it's a little slow to get things made. but it's worth the wait on a summer day.“

“Went to Crumbl for first time with nieces, Cookies delicious, pricey but worth it! Can’t go often but when you do, cookies delicious! Enjoy

Parking: Large shopping center, lots of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single level and Handicap spots available.“

“10/10. Best dessert spot in Queens hands down!!“

“This TCBY location is the best on the planet! Their cakes are the absolute freshest, most delicious creations and the owners and staff are the friendliest. Don't let the season pass without cold treats from this impeccably clean and beautifully run location. Highly recommended! Brad is a rock star!“

“Immaculate frozen yogurt store and friendly staff. They’re following strict Covid protocols. Great tasting yogurt too! 🍦“

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“This location is very nice always clean,they are very friendly and pleasant here and always have all the flavors.
I was served by several times by Samantha who had always been helpful in selecting flavors, pleasant and takes great pride in serving the customers.
Best ice cream in Queens“

“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 💯!!!!“

“Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks is my go to spot for a sweet treat, especially during the warmer months. With over 60 flavors, there’s truly something for everyone, from classic water ices to rich creme options.

Personally, I think their crème ices are the way to go cause of the smooth, flavorful, and totally nostalgic. Whether you’re into fruity, chocolatey, or somewhere in between, they’ve got you covered.

The service at this location is great. Friendly and efficient, even when the lines get long during peak summer hours. The ambiance is very relaxed, but just keep in mind that there’s no seating, it’s strictly takeout.

Also, note that this Ralph’s is seasonal, so make sure to get your fix while it’s open!

If you’re in the area and craving something cold and sweet, Ralph’s never disappoints“

“I loveeeeee this place !
No place to get an authentic Caribbean Snow Cone with Real Caribbean flavors.
The plantain Chips are fresh and absolutely delicious! I love the mango Chow as well!
I absolutely love adore this small yet delicious and authentic spot ! Only down part that it’s cash only and we live in a world where card and tap runs the place but other than that I love it .“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Carvel thanks to the outstanding team working there. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. One employee helped me choose the perfect dessert with great recommendations, another prepared my order with care and attention to detail, and a third kept everything running smoothly with a friendly attitude that made the visit even better.

Their teamwork, positivity, and commitment to quality made my visit truly special. If you're looking for great service and delicious ice cream, this Carvel team delivers!“

“In summer comes I wish to go there so badly“

“Gino was patient and took the time to explain to us all the different packages, in preparation for our wedding. After learning that my fiancé and I are both first responders, Gino extended his support and professionalism to us even more so! We are both looking forward to having him cater the dessert portion of our wedding, in addition to creating an unforgettable experience! Dolce and Gelato is the way to go!! Bravissimi!“

“Fresh and delicious. Will visit again“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“These cookies are delicious! We sampled them as a family this month and the Apple snickerdoodle was everyone's favorite! followed closely by the cookies and cream. soft, decadent and flavourful, Nicole really knows her stuff. Can't wait to order again next month!“

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

“Very good. I has an Italian Ice“

“After ordering the stores internet went down and I didn’t have cash to pay. We tried doing an online order so I could pay for my food but that didn’t work either. I guess their internet was down. To my surprise, The worker was kind enough to give me the food without charge!! I’ve ordered food from here before, which is excellent and will continue to do so because of their generous hospitality. I will also pay it forward next time I’m at this restaurant!“

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

“Great ice cream along with that old fashioned feel.“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“I visited Gran Caffe Gelateria with a few friends for a late-night dessert after dinner, and we were also looking for a good coffee spot. This place had great reviews, so we decided to check it out, especially since it stays open late.

The gelato selection was impressive, offering a variety of flavors at a great price point—definitely good value for the quality. The gelato itself was super creamy and delicious, better than many places I’ve tried before. I also appreciated that the portion sizes were generous.

As for the customer service, while the staff was polite, I felt the engagement could have been better. When asking about flavors and pricing, it was a bit of a one-sided conversation. Since it wasn’t too busy at the time, I would have preferred a little more interaction to make the experience feel more welcoming.

The coffee and espresso were also fantastic, with a surprisingly good value for the price. My friends and I were impressed with the flavor and quality.

One thing to keep in mind is parking—since it’s a corner shop, parking was limited, and we had to park about half a block away. If you're planning a visit, just be prepared for that.

Overall, this is a great spot for late-night gelato or coffee. The selection is not overwhelming, but what they do have is top-notch. Whether you're going solo, with friends, or even with kids, this is a solid choice for a sweet treat. I'll definitely consider coming back!“

“This is long islands guilty pleasure. Love stoping by in a hot summer night for any flavor you are craving for“

“Oh my god, I love coming here. They have the best frozen yogurt here with amazing toppings. The place is ALWAYS clean and it’s definitely worth the price. 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“
