15 Best Ice Cream Shops in Queens

“Place was spotless, vibe and setting perfect for ice cream and owner and help were great as well as the ice cream cups donur ice cream and all the trimmings to choose.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Workers are kind of awkward cuz they're all teens except for the manager, which is okay.
The ice cream is amazing though. And they piled that stuff on. I couldn't finish it and it took me half an hour to even get halfway through it.
I ordered a small vanilla cup with no toppings.
It's far cheaper than Cold Stone Creamery and almost has the same aspects.
If you loved Mr. Softee's ice cream growing up, those ice cream trucks always going around the block, than this ice cream is for you.“

“Ordered takeout via seamless 2x. Both times worked out well.
Food delicious and comforting.

First time I had the Jerk Chicken and it was bit dry but it was so well-seasoned. I also got a side of Mac and cheese which was very good too. However, the star of the show was the beef patty in coco bread. So good!

The second time, I got the stew chicken and it did not disappoint either.

Definitely going to order again to try more things (Ox Tails, Salt Fish, etc.)“

“Tonight went to T-Swirl Japanese Crêpe 81-10 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 11373, Queens—and man, this spot blew me away. I’m a dessert guy through and through, and these crêpes hit different. First one: sliced strawberries, bananas, custard cream, whipped yogurt, chocolate pearls, and crushed pistachio—pure magic. Then I went for the Strawberry Nutella, and thank god I did. 🍓🔥

Prices might shift a bit from what’s printed, but the cashier was super kind and explained everything clearly (so yeah, ask before you order). Bonus points—they make your crêpe right in front of you like a dessert performance. 🎭

The place? Cozy lights, chill music, and good vibes all around. Even if you’re a takeout-only type, sit down once—you’ll leave smiling like a fool with powdered sugar on your shirt.

“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. 😋😋“

“Wonderful Food & Service!
Sahil took great care of us, and the chef’s cooking truly stood out. The chole bature had deep, authentic flavors, and the dosa was perfectly crisp and beautifully prepared. You can taste the chef’s skill in every bite. A really enjoyable experience overall!“

“Hired Mister Softee for our family movie night. Big crowd, fast service, ice cream perfect, kids + grown folks both smiling. We paid for the truck and it was worth every penny. If you need dessert for a party, call them. 10/10.“
