50 Best Ice Cream Shops near South Farmingdale

“This is a small place. 2 stools inside to sit on but a bunch of plastic chairs outside, if you don't mind eating 2 feet from the parking lot. The staff was very nice and the ice cream was fantastic (and very well priced). I will definitely be back.“

“My daughter and I happened upon this place and we were so happy we did! Chris (not sure if he was the owner or not) was super helpful since we have food allergies. He made my daughter a cotton candy milkshake which she absolutely devoured. I had a flavored coffee which was delicious. From the black and white checkered floor to the murals on the walls, the vintage looking tables and chairs to the fun gelato display case (which was nice and low for little ones to be able to choose from) the decorated garage door which let in so much light to the retro cola display fridge, everything was so well thought out and just a lot of fun. Kudos to them for a really great place, definitely go visit!“

“Great spot, total hidden gem. I come in here time to time and their gelato is fantastic. My two favorites are the pistachio and rainbow cookie gelato ?.. they also have a nice selection of pastries / cakes. If you have a sweet tooth the cannoli creme filled lobster tails were amazing as was the rainbow cookie cheese cake! Last but not least they have a wide range of offerings as far as coffee & espresso!“

“was awesome, 1st time there“

“I figured I would try this place out as they are one of the few places where I can find any coconut flavors. I got a medium cup of ice cream for$6.50 (includes tax). You get 3 scoops. I got coconut, toasted coconut, and chocolate lovers. It was amazing and worth the price which I can't say for other places. I would recommend giving this a try, There is lots of seating and the workers were pleasant.“

“This review is for the store on Bedford Ave in Bellmore. This place is awesome. The owner is super nice. The place is super clean. He has a lot of flavors that are soft. I am a flying saucer girl and they have a nice choice for you to pick or if you want something special they make it in advance and all you have to do is call them. This store is my number 1. Job well done!“

“Guys, I have to share my experience at Let's Roll because it was wonderful. I don't really like ice cream (i know, that's crazy right?), but my husband and my kids always go to this place so I decided to try it. It's a super friendly place that's owned by a wonderful couple (Craig & Giselle, I think? I don't really know if that's how she spells it), but I never wanted to try the ice cream. Except today. I tried the passion fruit flavor - and my God, there's nothing like it! You really have to taste it - it's so yummy. And besides, the place is super family-friendly, with super nice people, such positive energy. I will be back soon. 5 stars for Let's Roll in Merrick!“

“I have visited this store unexpectedly, and I must admit, the staff’s were very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was very pleasant and extremely welcoming. This store is very tidy and make anyone feel they’re being treated right and they have a great selection of products to choose from.

“Very nice place!!! Swirls and Twirls has been around for awhile! Im glad there still doing good considering i havent been here since 2020 ish. I got the Vanilla bean with a hint of chocolate and toasted marshmallow. For toppings i got 3 strawberries with Lucky Charm marshmallows! (Cant you tell i love marshmellows) lol but i have to say that the experience i had was extremely satisfying and enjoyable!!! 5 years later and yet still amazing as always! :)“

“Fun visit getting ice cream and candy! Very pleasant and helpful staff! We will be back!“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“Omg!!! Avian paletas d nance,aguacate,elote etc,, infinidades de sabores y lo deliciosas q están muy pero muy recomendable y las muchachas q trabajan ahí son muy agradables lo hacen a uno q regresen de nuevo les doy un 💯!!!!“

“Purchased this beautiful unicorn cake yesterday! It’s so freaking cute & was delicious! I tried the strawberry soft serve which was dairy free & made with oat milk. It was ok for what it was. Don’t think I’d purchase that one again. They did have about 4-5 options that were dairy free & cannot wait to try those next! Zhao helped us (as per the receipt) & she was so kind & gave phenomenal service. Very quick too. The store itself was so clean & they had a ton of options as far as cakes go and even the frozen ice cream section. Will definitely come back again & again ?

Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free frozen options & dairy free options for soft serve & regular scoop ice cream.“

“The ice cream is just as amazing as the place looks inside! Honestly better than any Ralph’s Ive ever had. The pricing is so fair and the portions are huge!I got the Cookie Monster & double chocolate chip, and my boyfriend got vanilla chip & orange. We both LOVED them - I’m 100000% coming back here and wish I had visited sooner!

“Love this place. We always try to stop in when we visit family on the island. Would have given it 5 stars, but they didn't have the flavor that I painstakingly waited 6 months for. You let me down Ralph. My puppy enjoyed his treat though. We'll def be back.“

“They are 3 Sisters and A Lovely Brother who I believe all work full time 9-5 elsewhere. The ice cream Is good but they Charge me way way more the The Udall rd west islip or The Howells rd one and they are so stingy it's Kind of sad because I try to support omw there now but quantity needs to change. Clean STORE Is a plus.“

“Have been going to this location for about 5 years and at least twice a week in peak season. The woman who is always there is the absolute best, I think she is the manager but she is a sweetheart and has the patience of a saint with the crazy customers. She does a beautiful job keeping the location spotless and makes sure my family’s order is handled quickly. Everything we get there is always delicious!“

“This is long islands guilty pleasure. Love stoping by in a hot summer night for any flavor you are craving for“

“Everyone who grows up on Long Island knows that Ralph's Ices is a staple. All of the locations are excellent, but this one right here takes it to the next level. Recently renovated, super clean and very efficient.

The staff goes above and beyond offering a seemingly endless array of tastings and flavors (Kudos to Maddy for being the best). The drive-thru is so convenient, they offer ice cream & soft serve as well, and they even have a candy bar! Cannot recommend enough.“

“It’s not just Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel .. any day is great for a Sundae ! Was given a sample cup of the Strawberry Soft Serve because I said I had never had it before .. it was amazing. Had my favorite on this night though .. Chocolate ice cream with Strawberry topping and whipped cream on top. Great service here !“

“TCBY Yogurt of East Northport offer both frozen and soft yogurt and ice cream, WE brought he grandkids and they just loved it. The love all the topping choices. The place is small but has a great selection of choices. It has a couple of tables. A good change from all the other ice cream places.“

“friendly, helpful service good food good dessert, love a good Fribble“

“Unique ice cream and delightful employees! Why can’t I see where to put 5 stars here? 💜💜💜💜💜“

“Wow! Blown away by service and the tasty gelato- I’ve been on the hunt for over ten years for a gelato even close to what you can get in Europe and this is the best I’ve found!
Dana was so kind especially with my sons. Thanks for a great experience we’ll definitely be back!“

“Nowhere else like it. Best ice cream and service you’ll find in the area.“

“Fast service“

“I was craving ice cream in the area, found this cute lil spot. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted, I don’t recall seeing a clear price lisg but when I asked about the prices, the cashier answered. $8 for two scoops on a cone. I won’t complain about that. I enjoyed the ice cream and it was a nice treat to the day.

If youre in the area, I would recommend a visit and I wouldn’t mind returning again.“

“Me and my colleagues stopped at carvel and man oh man was that ice cream absolutely scrumptious this location in particular is amazing! The girl w the bun is the nicest girl you'll ever meet plain and simple and sweet like the treats also how does she get her bun like that crazy!!! Very nice people who own this and great staff“

“My whole family loves Carvel Ice Cream!!! Sundaes on Wednesday’s are a must in our house! And it’s not a real birthday without Carvel ice cream cake! This Carvel Store location in Massapequa Park is our family’s favorite ice cream shop of all time! Best ice cream EVER!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Highly recommend!!! Amazing flavors and so many it’s hard to decide. Owner is so friendly and let my kids try many flavors. Reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back!!! 🍦“

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !“

“Delicious Martinis!! Looking forward to going back for more.“

“Great“

“***** (Five Star) Review - The hubby and I love the Hicksville Sweet Shop! It is such a warm and welcoming restaurant/ice cream shop – were everyone knows your name! We reserved a table for Valentines Day and had a wonderful meal consisting of crab cakes, fried shrimp, French fries, vegetables and, for dessert, fresh homemade strawberry shortcake – reservations are rarely needed! Homemade ice cream and chocolates are also delicious! I can honestly say I never had a bad meal at the Hicksville Sweet Shop! Thank you Eva, Phil, Harry, Walter, Alma, Jeannie & Clair❤️e!“

“Great place“

“Awesome place and such a friendly staff. This place has been around since 1985 ❤️“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“Their location has changed since the picture was posted. They’ve reopened nearby and introduced a variety of new flavors. My favorite has been the acai bowl, but you really can't go wrong with their cream or water ices. Their banana shake is just as delightful as any of their other specialty shakes and ice creams. I believe I visit them 3 to 4 times a week.“

“Came here for Mother’s Day and the food was delicious. The service was way too slow though. They were packed but really understaffed. A nice server came and introduced herself and I sat with coffee for a good 45 mins until someone brought our food over. Several other tables were waiting for the same time as well, maybe more. The server however was very nice. Everything is cooked fresh here and I enjoyed tasting everything because I was full by the time I took the first few bites. I recommend hiring more staff especially on busy holidays.“
