27 Best Ice Cream Shops in Queens

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

“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!“

“HI, EDDIES IS BY FAR THE BEST ICE CREAM SHOP IN ALL OF NYC!! NOTHING COMPARES, NOTHING. THE FLAVORS ARE SPOT ON, GENEROUS PORTIONS, GREAT STAFF. NO WONDER ITS BEEN OPEN FOR 100 YEARS. WENT TO ICE CREAM SHOPS IN MANHATTAN, GOOD ICE CREAM BUT NOTHING LIKE EDDIES!! A DEFINATE MUST VISIT FOR ANY ONE, JUST CALL BEFORE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OPEN, SOMETIMES HAS STRANGE HOURS. BUT WELL WORTH A VISIT, I GIVE IT TEN STARS!!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The Green LIC in Astoria is an absolute must-visit if you're into healthy, fresh, and delicious treats. Their açaí bowls are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had—super fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly portioned for the price. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

Their gelato is another standout—so creamy and rich, it’s hard to believe it’s from a spot that also serves juices and smoothie bowls! Speaking of which, their juices are always fresh and refreshing.

The space is also spotless and welcoming, with a clean, colorful vibe that makes you feel good about what you're eating. I highly recommend The Green LIC to anyone looking for a tasty and healthy spot in the neighborhood!“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

“It has been a while since my last purchase.. I love it so much but it’s actually so pricy so I can’t buy it that often :( …
Today I was passing by randomly in 30th Ave and I saw balloons .. thought of checking out .. So they were having free scoops for the first 25 people for the ice cream day .. I felt sad that I missed that .. However, I was speaking to the gentleman Jorge & mentioned that I actually have an active account with points & if there are offers currently .. he was polite, listened attentively & surprised me with honoring the free scoop for the Ice cream day ❤️

I had a rough day before passing by .. and his act was really sweet & thoughtful .. He made my day 🙏🏻

I appreciate him & I hope he gets recognized with his great customer service !“

“Ok, so photo don't look good because I had to dig in quick during a hot summer day. I don't like sweets in general, but DAMN!!!, the blueberry lemon basil is really good. The Oreo, chocolate and nocciola flavors are on point. Will be coming back for sure.“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“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 .“

“Ordered the Philly cheesesteak and strawberry Nutella crepes, with some modifications. Both were made quickly, and tasted good like any other T-Swirl location. I took them to go and didn’t eat them for at least another 20 minutes after pickup. They did not get soggy or anything like that.

I was able to order and wait in my car until I got a text. Would come back!“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“The Frozen yogurt was really good no doubt, but the facility should have a functioning rest room/bathroom so if we go with the kids they can wash hands after they done eating. Overall its a good experience, small things don't count much anyhoo...“

“Delicioso 😋 son los favoritos de mi familia“

“The absolute PERFECT place for a sweet treat! Ever since this place has opened they have been my go to when my sweet cravings come on! Their menu is always made well and the staff are kind and polite. I personally always go crawling back to their tornado crepe and chocolate milkshakes. 😋😋“

“Ice Cream is 10 out of 10, and the service is very polite and fast. There is variety of different ices and different flavors, sometimes hard to make a choice, but you can always get a free sample to make your decision easier. And for a 12$ you get full bucket of delicious ice cream, you can’t find that anywhere else.“

“U-Crew mochi donuts are like little pieces of happiness! From the moment you open the box, you’ll be captivated by their playful shapes and the variety of flavors. Each mochi donut is truly a work of art waiting to be enjoyed with unique details, a stunning design, and the variety of tastes that come together in a beautifully unexpected blend, keeping every bite intriguing while sparks your curiosity to try them all offering something for every taste.

“Stopped for some take out ice cream. Very friendly and excellent service. I asked questions about the unique ice cream flavors and received free samples of each. I asked for recommendations, and the server shared with me what they liked and why.
I got the pasacito saffron ice cream. Amazing.“

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