28 Best Ice Cream Shops in Queens

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 .“

“I love this place so much. I am a dessert person and when I tried several Crepe like Strawberry Nutella, Banana Nutella, just “WOW” . Freaking love it. I tried mint chocolate’s macaroon as well and it’s a little bit pricey but I totally down for the taste 🤍“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Annabella is the best worker Ralph's has! Only when she's working I feel so welcomed and given such kind and nice service, not like I'm just a customer placing an order that has to be fulfilled. Great ices and ice cream, but I really just wanted to write this review to highlight Annabella's great customer service :)“
