“At first I thought my wife poisoned me.... And than it slowly dawned on me that it was probably fruity yummy from.earlier... but my God it was delicious! The whole time I was doubled over and writhing in pain all I could think about was the vanilla flavored yogurt with the m&m sprinkles. It really burns!!.... I can't wait to go back again and get myself another yogurt.... As soon as I'm able to walk.“

“Its such a clean place,with delicious flavors and awesome staff�����. I always recommend it too my friends.“

“You don’t have to travel to Italy 🇮🇹 to taste the best and authentic Italian gelato in the city. Venchi is my favorite place if I’m craving for something sweet. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“I stopped by Venchi Chocolate Place and had an amazing experience. I want to give a special shoutout to Gina — she was super helpful, super sweet, and incredibly patient. I didn’t know what to choose, and she guided me through everything with such a friendly attitude.

She recommended a few chocolates, including the pistachio one, and wow… I absolutely loved it.
The chocolates here are top-quality, but Gina’s service made the visit even better.

Thank you, Gina, for the great recommendation and for being so kind.
This place is officially one of my favorites now.“

“Everything about Venchi is amazing. The staff could not have been nicer. The person helping us knew exactly what was vegan and the chocolate gelati was delicious. The raspberry and strawberry were yummy too - just nothing compared to the chocolate. Even the coffee had vegan options. If you’re in the area, must stop!“

“Stopped in for some gelato, Leonardo was helpful in making our decisions, patient and pleasant. We will definitely go back when we come back to Bologna.“

“Place is awesome, and love their gelatos and sorbets. My mom loves the Fuji Apple flavored sorbet“

“My daughter loved the cupcakes, and i loved their price as well as the decor and feel of the bakery. Home has changed lots since ive moved. The only thing that could be better was the person at the register, he was highly engaged in his phone so his responses/interaction was quick short, kind of like he didnt want to be bothered. Overall the place the is 😍“

“Love it the area is so welcoming and we didn’t have to wait long they recommended items and helped us pick our options scratchatela was very good. Would definitely recommend“

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“All of the soft serve is amazing but i hella enjoyed their Woodside today! Ube with mochi and toasted coconut flakes was perfection!“

“delicioso helado para adultos, el local, muy bueno.“

“Finally went & was not disappointed. Just the treat I needed 😋😛“

“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 place offers around nine types of vegan gelati, including water-based (sorbets) and almond milk-based gelati. The gelati is excellent and very tasty. My one complaint is that they don't allow you to have just one scoop: two scoops is the minimum (for around $9); since the gelato was very filling, one scoop would actually do fine.“

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

“Excellent quality Italian gelato, rich flavors and smooth texture rarely found outside of Italy. Place is very cute like eating in a story book hut. Got the large size ($12) very disappointed finding a sizable air pocket at bottom of the gelato cup. 1 star taken off because feeling ripped off.“

“It’s Carvel - been eating their soft serve since I was a kid. It’s always on point. This Carvel is clean and the staff is super nice (been there twice this week, don’t judge). The lack of the 5th star is there is only outdoor seating and because of location, someone is always sitting there,“

“Caramel miso gelato is outstanding. Beautifully balanced flavours with gentle umami from the miso and a smooth, sweet caramel finish. Rich but not overwhelming, very well executed.
Service is friendly and pleasant, adding to the overall experience. A great spot for interesting, well thought out gelato flavours.“

“Delicious and so happy they have vegan coconut so my whole family can enjoy!“

“Stopped by and had a strawberry green tea. Best of luck, guys.“

“Wow. Brand new, friendly, great business in a great neighborhood, Prospect Lefferts Garden. Would have been great if it was just good, but omg it is honestly the BEST ice cream I’ve had in Brooklyn. Awesome, creative new flavors every week. Yesterday’s was malted ice cream with chopped malted-milk balls. Also mint ice cream made with mint leaves. Another made with honey that also had some chili heat (forgot the name)—all amazing. Go now before you can’t get in.“

“This is immediately my new favorite dessert place. The flavors are very unique and actually all so good. Right amount of sweetness and great texture bc they all have a crunch or some type of added element. The sesame drizzle was so delicious I’m going to buy the bottle next time. Got the banana pudding and the toasted rice. So good that I bought a pint of it. The pint was like $14 which is a bit expensive but so worth it imo cause wow so good. The ice cream is $9 ish for 2 scoops and comes with free topping and free drizzle. A really good hefty sized scoops. Also the lady was such a vibe she was so friendly and had great recs. I will be a regular for sure“

“•Very pretty store!
•Gets crowded so expect some lines but it moves quite fast.
•Kind and approachable staff.
•Delicious candies! So fun to mix and try varieties of flavors.
•The hot cocoa is a must-try too. Unique presentation and perfect on a chilly nyc winter weather!“

“Lots of board games, events all the time and very price efficient memberships for regulars. The two private rooms have their own temperature regulation for different preferences and going solo is an option because there’s usually staff open to playing with you, though I highly suggest bringing friends. I like their drinks :)“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“Loved trying this new hot chocolate with gelato! Nicky helped me and my bestie and was super fun and welcoming to me and everyone that came in! Definitely coming back to visit and to get more gelato. 5/5 for sure!! She suggested pistacho with hot chocolate and it was THE BEST!!!! Go try it now even in this cold weather. Thank you Nicky 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽✨✨“

“It’s a cute little place with amazing food! My daughter loved watching them make the rolled ice cream. The ice cream tasted delicious and fresh! The flavor we chose was Crispy Mango, which had mango and strawberry, topped with fresh fruit. I definitely recommend coming here.“

“Delicious yogurt great atmosphere ❤️“

“This is the only reason I visit Chelsea Market when I am in town.“

“I first discovered Van Leeuwen Ice Cream while exploring Hudson Yards 🍦✨ — one taste and I was instantly hooked. Creamy, indulgent, and creative with flavors that balance classic comfort and playful twists. It quickly became one of my favorite sweet stops in the city. 🌆💖

Their recent pink ice cream collab with Ed Sheeran was such a fun touch 🎶🍓💗 — proof that they’re not afraid to innovate while keeping quality top-notch. For anyone with a sweet tooth, Van Leeuwen is a must-try New York treat that never disappoints. 🙌🌸“

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“The Best burguer i tasted 😍“

“A fabulous and delicious dining experience in Brooklyn! If you want food that has depth of flavor as well as refined technique in an environment that is warm and welcoming please check out this restaurant! Good for date night or just hanging out with a group of your friends! Highly recommend everything on this menu!“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“real old fashioned goodness!“

“We visited around 9:10 PM and there was a small line but it moved pretty fast so we were able to get in at about 9:25 PM. The service was quick and they had interesting flavors. The ice cream was really flavorful but what was even better was the service. Props to the workers!!🩷🩷“

“Always a must whenever visiting the city! A person with a peanut allergies dream! Today we stopped by but the shop was closed for a private event, no worries tho because they served us our ice cream right outside in our car!! Felt so special and the kids were super excited!“

“I’ve been here multiple times and always have a good experience, but Jess was the absolute best today. She’s so welcoming, inviting, and just an overall sweet person. The ice cream is amazing regardless, but having her be as bubbly and personable as she was really was a cherry on top.“
