Ice Cream Shops near South Richmond Hill

“The only carvel in Queens that has a cookie monster option and it is the BEST. I am an ice cream feign. So i will drive for some ice cream and most definitely when my friends come into town I take them to this specific carvel (if they've never had carvel ice cream before) because I can ensure they will like it. The staff at this location is the best they are efficient, kind, and usually younger too which is so refreshing. Keep it up and please never get rid of the cookie monster !“

“An nicely provocation for the healthy people. Not fear! Dark chocolate, with your property Triptophane, serotonyn, fire on the metabolism to the perfect working process. I'm a vegan and my opinion on the actually assessment market is that already fitted for the vegan customers. The ice cream is wonderful.“

“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!☺️👏“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“I had the the A-La-Mood warm lava cake with 2 scoops of ice cream(Better Pecan & Vanilla) yummy. Be ready to be indecisive because all flavors are delish. You’ll want order a few scoops🍦🍨❤️😋“

“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.“

“I’m honestly obsessed with these cookies. They are incredibly delicious and so appetizing. What I love the most is that I’m usually not into sweets at all, but these are just perfect.

They’re not overly sweet — just the right balance. The almond flavor is so rich and comforting, and the cherry adds this slight sour touch that makes everything come together beautifully. It’s such an amazing combination.

I genuinely fell in love with these cookies from the first bite. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for creating something this good — truly impressive!“

“Such a fun spot !!! Highly recommend“

“Ofc when I’m in NYC I have to make a stop at cafe panna. I’ve been to the other location and was my first time in the Brooklyn one.

Got their straciatella and red flag with their panna and graham crumble on top (trust these are the best classic flavors) Perfectly creamy, amazing flavor for both scoops, no complaints. I actually prefer this location to the other one since there’s indoor seating and AC which was a lifesaver in the heatwave 🙌🏻“

“Do not miss this place! Great food, great energy, thoughtful and kind staff, delicious wines and araks from the Levant, creative flavors, authentic food but with unexpected twists that made everything stand out. I would eat here again and again if we lived nearby. Good energy and vibes even on a weeknight.“

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“Great ice cream with really unique flavors. Pricing is also pretty decent. The only hang up is the extremely long lines. While the wait time is annoying and would have made this rating 3-4 stars, I have noticed the lovely Spanish lady on Saturday is pretty quick and does her best to serve everyone in a timely manner. Even with it being as busy as it is she always pleasant and wears a smile.“

“Delicious yogurt great atmosphere ❤️“

“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 recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

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

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“I have went to many froyo store but this one takes the cake the store is always very clean and organized, the best thing about this store is the staff they are all very welcoming, one of the girl helped me open the door when I was having difficulty and they are very sweet to little kids always assisting them with amazing manners they are the sweetest and I can see that all the staff focus on cleanliness of their toppings and the way they deal with their products I definitely recommend this place

Kid-friendliness: The girls always help out my kids with the toppings and they are so well spoken to the kids they ask various types of questions. My kids loved them

Wheelchair accessibility: The height on the tables can be changed“

“My favorite spot for an acai bowl! The owner and the staff are always so sweet and welcoming. I’m obsessed with the Stella nutella bowl. Also the portion sizes are good and actually fill you up. Their gelato is a hidden gem too!
Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. It’s become my favorite post workout reward. Highly recommend 💚“

“Friendly staff and great service. Delicious! Definitely going back again.“

“This is the real deal Italian gelato. They imported an authentic gelato machine from Italy and the texture is out if this world.

Flavors are incredible and vary often. Some are more eclectic and grownup (olive oil with breadcrumbs, basil fruit sorbet), others could please kids of all ages (pistachio, coconut stracchiatella). It’s getting good word of mouth traffic right now, but none of the nonsense lines that would happen if any food critic ever decided to hype them up.

Enjoy while it’s still a neighborhood gem!“

“It’s a must try, taste is great, different flavors of awesomeness“

“Great quality and super friendly service. There are tons of interesting flavors, and the staff is happy to give samples and recommendations. I wasn’t going to get anything, but I tried a vegan chocolate cookie flavor, and it was so good I had to get a scoop. And the scoops are not cheap, but they have been really generous, so, this would be a perfect time to share a scoop with someone.

Clearly my opinion isn’t unique, as there was a line of people out the door, but it moves fast enough.“

“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!“

“il vero gelato italiano, il migliore gelato in assoluto! Un'eccellenza!“

“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.“

“The froyo here is so distinct. It legit taste like frozen yogurt. This isn't like your typical froyo location that's high in sugar and filled with fillers. Something about this is oddly refreshing and invigorating. You definitely get the feeling of consuming yogurt here. Also, all froyo is made fresh to order by machines in the front. They have plenty of options for topping and the staff are friendly. They gave me plenty of toppings for my dollar. Money well spent, highly recommend.“

“The best ice cream shop in Brooklyn! The atmosphere is wonderful and Kate, the owner, is absolutely amazing. The Screen Door is truly a gem.“

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

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

“Some of the best things i have ever eatten, the ice cream blew my mind. Me and everyone i went with said it wad the best ice cream we ever had, and we dont say that lightly. You can tell everything is made with love. And the service is also amazing. Me and my girlfriend are addicted.“

“Ironically I’ve never tried the gelato here but I’ve had other things including their cardamom buns & passionfruit bars which are absolutely delicious, especially the former. A plus is the staff here is super sweet, especially the girl with the glasses (didn’t ask for her name but she’s a doll). When the weather gets better I would definitely go back for the gelato :).“

“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.“

“Crumbl Cookies is one of those dessert spots that feels more like a weekly rotation treat than a casual cookie stop. My experience was all about texture and presentation—each cookie is oversized, soft in the center, and usually served warm, which makes the flavors feel richer than expected. The rotating menu keeps things interesting; one week you might get classic chocolate chip, the next something like peanut butter mousse or lemon glaze that tastes more like a mini dessert than a cookie.

What stood out most was how consistent the quality felt across different flavors. Even the more experimental ones are well-balanced rather than overly sweet.

Tips from experience: check the weekly menu before going so you don’t miss a flavor you actually want. Go earlier in the day—popular flavors often sell out. If you’re buying multiple, share them; the portions are big and can get overwhelming after two or three. Also, reheat at home for 10–15 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked texture.“

“Highly recommend Sedutto ice cream, such good customer service!!“

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“Stopped her for a quick ice cream on our walk back from the park. It’s a great shop with both hand dipped and soft serve and all the classic toppings.

I got a vanilla cone with sprinkles and I love how they fully dip the cone in them.

I am giving this place a four simply because it’s nothing special. It’s great though - try it out“

“This 16 Handles location is always a great experience! The store is spotless, and the friendly staff create such a warm, welcoming environment-especially with kids. I really appreciate how clearly everything is labeled, from which toppings are kosher to what allergens are present, making it easy to eat here with confidence. Highly recommend!“
