“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.“

Good for date night or just hanging out with a group of your friends! Highly recommend everything on this menu!“

“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!!🩷🩷“

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“Went for brunch! The food was fantastic..especially the roasted potatoes and banana bread. The staff was so friendly!! Loved it!“

“Best ice cream and desserts ever!!!“

“Brought my kids here this week and we all had a great experience. The ice cream was amazing, the place was clean and had a great vibe, and the staff really stood out super friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I’ve visited other Robin’s locations before and they’ve always been consistently great. You can tell they care about both their product and customer service. My kids are already asking to go back, so we’ll definitely be making this a weekly stop.“

“Best ice cream in Brooklyn. Both the boozy variety and the family friendly options.“

“The snow cone flavors are amazing here. Fresh, great size, and delicious. One of the best West Indian snow cones I’ve had in NY. My kids and I love stopping in during the summer. We visit at least 7times for the summer. She also sells other items as well which you can take a look at while there getting a snow cone“

“Fruitti Yummi frozen yogurt is sooo good. There aren’t a large variety of fro-yo flavors, but they have all the solid ones here, and a large array of toppings.It is a self-serve location (and they’re covid conscious), providing you with gloves and hand sanitizer to use before serving yourself. I liked that, it made you feel as though the establishment cares about keeping covid at bay.The place is squeaky clean by the way. Everything is tidy, the machines are clean (been to some spots with dirty ones), and the area for toppings was so perfectly organized that me and my boyfriend barely wanted to touch it lol.There was one young lady at the register over-seeing everything, who gave us a friendly greeting when we came in, so that was nice.Other than that there’s not too much to say about a frozen yogurt spot, but this is definitely one of the better locations. You can tell the difference in the quality of flavor, so I highly recommend stopping by.“

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely the best ice cream I've had in Brooklyn. So far, we've tried grape nut, guava, and Irish moss. All amazing. Are the staff going to gush over you? Maybe not, but they will give you excellent homemade ice cream at a very reasonable price and in a decent size. The guava tastes like fresh guava, and the Irish moss tastes like Christmas: so good.“

“Great local frozen yogurt spot. We appreciate that there are always sugar-free flavors available. And usually a dairy free option. Most yogurt places around us only offer no sugar added, and are limited to one flavor if available. There also are sugar-free and gluten-free muffins. The scones are amazing. And there’s a bunch of frozen bagel options, cookies and brownies available. Plenty of toppings, for sugar-free they have chocolate chip chips and hot fudge. There’s also indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly, fast and helpful.“

“Had a great experience at the Lynbrook TCBY store! Brad, the friendly staff member behind the counter, went above and beyond to make our visit special. He kindly offered us samples of any flavor we wanted, which helped us decide on the perfect frozen yogurts. His warm smile and excellent customer service made my lunch break even sweeter. I met up with my wife and daughter there, and Brad made sure we felt welcome and taken care of. If you're lucky enough to catch him on Tuesdays or Thursdays (his days in the store), make sure to say hi - you won't be disappointed!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“the original one and only ice cream Italian ice stand way before Luigi way before Guido's a local favorite quality products made fresh“

“This is one of the best places to have breakfast. The honey buns are amazing!! The mocha is my absolute favorite drink there. I can’t wait to get the homemade soft serve when the weather heats back up!! Great customer service too. Everyone has to try Dolly’s Coffee Shop!!“

“Best location ever. If you are interested in something very sweet, Isabella’s is the best place. Their Ice Creams and Italian Ices are amazing. And their prices are not bad. Went several times throughout the Summer of 2025 to treat myself with something sweet after going for an exercise session at a nearby park.

Try out their Waffle Cones if you choose an ice cream. They are so amazing. The girls that work there let you choose what you want. On a very beautiful summer day, they even have tables outside to sit and enjoy.

I am definitely looking forward to visiting them again very soon for the Summer 2026 Season. You girls rock.“

“I want to say a huge thank you to Sam at Cinnabon Carvel for the beautiful cake for my grandma! She absolutely loved it. The cake was perfect, and the service was just as amazing. Sam was so friendly and kind, which made the whole experience even better. I’ve already recommended this location to others and will definitely be back. Thank you again!“

“I always love coming here and would get my ice cream. They’ve even accommodated me when I got there super close to closing time. Saw that they make cakes and was so happy I decided to get my birthday cake from them this year! It was delicious. My whole family loved it. Some went for seconds. Couldn’t recommend them again. Next birthday cake will be from them! lol. I had the Oreo & strawberry cheesecake with Oreo crunch in between.“

“Ive been coming here since it opened, the food is very good and its good for both large groups or if you just want to sit and have a beer and and a couple of tacos. I recommend the tacos gobernadores and if you’re here for brunch the enchiladas jarochas are great.“

“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!!!!“

“very nice staff,love the milkshakes here!“

“The ice cream is excellent, but they need to bring back bread and roses. ;)“

“I live in Toronto and was looking for a gift for my orthodox friend who lives in Crown Heights. I was referred to this business and I’m very happy with my experience. They made it very easy to order my selection of nuts and the presentation was beautiful. We communicated over WhatsApp and a phone call and the process was very easy. They were also very accommodating in terms of my friend’s food preferences. I’m so happy that I was referred to this business.“

“This has to be one of the best-named ice cream stores I have ever encountered: inviting, memorable, potent. Those adjectives apply to its ice creams, too, which come in all sorts of intriguing flavors. The consistency leans toward the icier end of the spectrum, but that is nice sometimes, refreshing. I went with fried apple pie, and I did not regret it. Intriguingly, all the ice cream was pre-scooped, which makes it easy to grab and go. I hope they expand. We need this kind of invention in more places!“

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

“Great spot, some would even say a Legendary spot in this area. I've only recently tried them out, but I see why they have such a strong clientele. The Strawberry cheese cake Ice cream is like no other, it's to die for. Go and try'em out“

“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.“

“I frequent this location often with my children because my toddler LOVES their pistachio ice cream. She convinced me to try it and it really is that good. My favorite from this store is the coffee ice cream. Hits everytime. The store is very small but always looks clean. There’s not much organization when it comes to the line so they usually just ask “who’s next”. All workers that I’ve interacted with have been pleasant. I’ve never had a negative interaction with a worker so I’d say their customer service is great.

Parking: A lot of people double park. It’s paid metered parking and spots are usually taken.“

“Amazing first time experience, the staff is very friendly and helpful when choosing what to get. They explain everything and suggest what you may like. It’s all really fresh too no powdered or anything they chop up the fruits and veggies right in front of you before they blend it. Highly recommend if you want real fresh and great tasting juices/smoothies 😄“

“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“

“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.“

“I ordered the rolled ice cream for my daughter’s birthday and we ordered the banana pudding flavor, the candy flavor and the Oreo flavored rolled ice cream. They were all very delicious. I highly recommend. You have options of toppings like cereal or chocolate chip or whipped topping etc and also for the type of syrup that you want on top .There are lots of toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to try them all?

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian type options from the plant based ice cream to the toppings eg, fruit loops, cookie crisps, dark chocolate chips etc

Kid-friendliness: Cereal flavors for kids to choose from“

“Oh my god, I love coming here. They have the best frozen yogurt here with amazing toppings. The place is ALWAYS clean and it’s definitely worth the price. The best flavor in my opinion was the pomegranate raspberries. The workers are always polite and clean up the place. They have cute thermal spoons too definitely 10/10“

“A great addition to the “Burg” & David, remember my name Irwin Friedman & Son Inc. For all your plumbing needs, I’m located around the corner from you on Banker St. Been serving the area for 100 years! We are Williamsburg’s #1 Grateful Plumbers (718) 782-7150“

“Amazing ice cream and amazing workers and owners!!! Definitely stop in and try“

“Lo mejor es una delicia me encanta este lugar y sus atenciones perfectas“

“Food was good; we were 8 women, I ordered a fresh salad but it was so expensive (I ordered a regular container for 1 person-which included lettuce, 2 different colored peppers, olives, tomatoes and a few other items added- it was very expensive....“

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

“The young woman behind the counter is absolutely amazing!! Then we tasted the fun and exciting sweet treat with fresh mango, tamarind candy, Tajin and delicious pineapple and delectable mango ice cream. The dessert was presented like a work of art and it was a taste explosion! This is a must try for the whole family!!!

Kid-friendliness: So much fun for both little kids and big kids too!!!“

“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.“
