“loved the lychee soft serve“

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

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Still the best ice cream shop around with that old school nostalgic feel . .“

“One of the highly recommended place to hangout and enjoy delicious stuffs. Special mention to Bibek such a well behaved well spoken person, he adds on such a great vibe to the place.“

“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.“

“There so many options I love it! The place is clean and very cute decorations . I took my daughter and my niece for ice cream and hey fell in love with the place !

Kid-friendliness: Many selections for kids and fun toppings“

“I recently visited Aida’s Parkside in New York, and it was a wonderful experience! The gelato was rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavors. Each scoop was a treat.
The best part was the service. Omar, the worker who helped me, was perfect—so friendly and welcoming. He explained the different flavors, offered samples with a smile, and gave great recommendations.
The shop had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your gelato. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, I highly recommend Aida’s parkside. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors!
Overall, a 5-star experience with fantastic gelato and amazing service.“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“I can safely say I've never been to a bad Shake Shack since I first began going to the franchise 8 years ago. It's one of the more pricier burger joints but it's definitely worth it's money in service, quality and overall vibe. I can always come around to any location and expect high shelf service and it's no exception over to where I went. Best Smashburgers in the game, nice tender chicken with the right amount of crisp, fries that could possibly beat out McDonald's in the taste test and nobody is touching the shakes because they own that department. It's just comforting that no matter which location you go to, the service is gonna be as consistent and precise, as well as the food being incredible.“

“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!“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“Love this place the service is amazing the workers are so nice and friendly, the place inside is always super clean. As for the food and drinks are always so good and perfect 10/10 would recommend. Telling all my friends about this delicious hidden Gem ?!!“

“I'm not really an ice cream person unless it's exceptional and tastes homemade. Astoria doesn't have many places that sell good ice cream, but Ample Hills is an exception. It has delicious ice cream and fun flavors, and they let you taste samples. So far, all the flavors I've had or sampled have been excellent, though I'm partial to the coffee flavors and butter pecan. I do wish they had more sorbet flavors for those of us who prefer sorbet over ice cream. The only sorbet they have right now is mango. But still, if you're really into ice cream, this is the perfect place!“

“This place is really very good. I am tired of all those american ice cream shops, where you are consuming mostly elephant doses of sugar. But simple matcha cone ice cream is so delicious and well-balanced. More I am getting into Asian culture more I feel to disconnect from everything American.“

“Our recent private family birthday bash at Manducatis Rustica was wonderful! I can not thank Gianna enough for her time in planning the menu and offering to prepare anything my family likes. The food was delicious and abundant , the staff was attentive and kind, the tables were set beautifully. It was like being in my own home -warm and friendly without me doing all the work . I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !“

“Abbiamo frequentato il Santa Chiara Café durante la nostra vacanza a Manhattan. Conosciuto per caso è diventato la nostra tappa preferita per la colazione e non solo. Locale raffinato, pulito ed elegante, in pieno stile italiano con vista mozzafiato sullo skyline. Personale educato simpatico e competente. Cibo e bevande di una qualità top a prezzi moderati. Ma vogliamo raccontarvi di più. Al Santa Chiara Caffè tra i nostri preferiti: cornetti, crostate e piccola pasticceria…davvero eccellenti. Gelati artigianali cremosi e gustosi. Nulla è lasciato al caso, anche i nostri amici a quattro zampe erano super felici di fare colazione con i bellissimi biscottini per animali. Una menzione particolare per Enzo best omelettist in town. Last but not least, il proprietario Cristiano, gentile, educato, professionale, simpatico e generoso. Un posto da non perdere, infatti non vediamo l’ora di tornare…aspettateci! ****** English We bumped into Santa Chiara Cafe by chance and after it became our favourite place for breakfast but not only…it is clean and elegant in classic italian style with a great view towards the Manhattan skyline. The staff is nice, polite and very skilled. Food and drinks are top quality with modest price. However, we want to tell you more; favourite food, among the others, are croissants, tart and all the deliciuos small cakes. Not to mention the excellent homemade ice creams. Nothing is left to chance, also our pet friends were super happy to taste the eccellent cookies. Special mention to Enzo who makes the best omelette in town. Last but not least, the owner Cristiano: polite, kind, nice, professional and very generous. Highly reccomended place, not to be missed, we are looking forward to go back again…wait for us!“

“Our favorite Italian ice place“

“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.“

“very nice staff,love the milkshakes here!“

“This place has it all such an amazing assortment of freshly made treats. They also have shakes, frozen, yogurts, and toppings galore. I always pass with my family as my kids love the frozen yogurt and the self serve that they can make their own delicious Sunday. I suggest you stop by give the place a try if you haven’t been there before. Thanks for reading my review you could also give me a follow on Facebook.“

“I walked in here accidentally and saw many people going in to buy it. My son said it should be delicious and bought two two-color cones. My son said it tasted very good, very pure and very large. The boss was very nice and the price was unexpected. Cheap, my son said he would come again“

“Reasonably priced with great options and nice service ^_^“

“I can't get enough! Thanks for a great summer!“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“The ladies were super kind and nice. They made sure to deliver the food to their best of their abilities and believe me, they didn’t disappoint. 100% recomend this place to any froyo lover , they have so many flavor! and their crepes and bubble waffles are out of this world, come check them out!“

“Visited on a Saturday at noon and got a couple slices of Mango Mousse cake to go which had real mango and were light and delicious without being too sweet. You get a cute reusable tote bag with your purchase. The place is quite spacious and very clean. There are other items on the menu without mango. Can’t understand why there were no other customers during our visit. Maybe it was the time of day or perhaps they need to market the Bayside location better. I suspect that well-known French bakery on the same block was packed at that hour.“

“This is by far the best greek yogurt i’ve ever had. First time i tried it was while having dinner at Taverna Kyclades. I asked the waiter since i was so impressed and he was nice enough to share that they get it feom Kesso foods. Their hours (M-F 6am to 2:30pm) are a bit difficult buuuut Zabar’s (uws) carries both their yogurt and tzatziki!!“

“highest quality ices and superb customer service“

“First time checking this place out. Staff was friendly. Crepes cost around 9-10 dollars with tax. Got a red mango crepe. The crepe wasn’t like your “traditional” ones from other stores but was very flavorful. Fruit tasted fresh and sweet. It was filled with a good amount of fruits but I am not complaining. The ambiance is almost fairytale like and it is quite small but feels cozy. Would go eat there again.“

“The brown sugar boba was good, tapioca pearls were nice and chewy.Had their Mozza dog, it was nice and potatoey, crisp, and cheesy mozzarella.Pricing was fair and quality was good.Wish there were more seating areas vs the stool style, my butt hurts now darnit. ?It's a good joint stop ordering uber eats and check this place out.“

“New owners very kind and patient. Got a nice Chocolate cone for Mom!! 5 stars“

“This place has it all such an amazing assortment of freshly made treats. They also have shakes, frozen, yogurts, and toppings galore. I always pass with my family as my kids love the frozen yogurt and the self serve that they can make their own delicious Sunday. I suggest you stop by give the place a try if you haven’t been there before. Thanks for reading my review you could also give me a follow on Facebook.“

“Just discovered these at my local Walmart, addicted! Now Walmart better not stop carrying them.“

“I stopped by Paris Oven Bakery just right near the Steinway subway exit for a slice of their Napoleon, and it did not disappoint! The layers were perfectly crispy, and the sweetness was just right—balanced and not overpowering. Every bite was light, flaky, and delicious.

The bakery has a charming atmosphere, making it a lovely spot for a quick treat or a relaxing dessert break. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their pastries!“

“Took a walk on my lunch to Ucrew. Nice quiet ambiance. Seating available. clean counters and food area. They took about 10 minutes to make my crepe. Unfortunately My crepe was empty. I didnt taste ? ? & Nutella in every bite for $10. The fruits tasted fresh just wish it had more fruits and nutella for $10.“

“I ordered the London Fog and Breakfast Burrito. The tea was the perfect temp (just shy of burning hot) and delicious. The burrito was excellent. The cafe itself is very cozy and lowkey; perfect for treating yourself to a nice meal or an outing with 1 other person.“

“I took my son here to eat, after he had gotten the keys locked into the van. I was very happy to see a smile of his little face all over again. He even said he wanted to get his birthday Icecream from here, he is really silly as his birthday just pasted last month.“

“Great comfortable spot! Friendly staff. Delicious snacks!“
