29 Best Ice Cream Shops in Staten Island

“one of the best carvels! always spotless , great customer service and always helping the community!!@!@ please support local“

“The first time here is the best in Staten Island. Lines to buy the icee's. You can eat the icee made with water or milk. I recommend the maracuya, coconut, cherry, and strawberry, all made with real fruit and have pieces of fruit in it. People from other places come to buy in pint sizes to take home. I wish I lived there. I would have bought several pints, but I was visiting.“

“I was about to write a positive review praising the quality of this establishment when I noticed the recent reviews at the bottom. I visited the store around the same time the last two reviews were posted with my kids and was disheartened to see the negative feedback from grown adults, given the store's high volume of customers at the time of the review and the evident efforts of the staff, who are working diligently for minimum wage. Having been a frequent patron, I have consistently experienced exceptional service and care by the staff.“

“This isn't the first time I went to Ralph's. It was in the summer right after I came from Jimmy Max With a bunch of People. 70 degrees, perfect weather and a good time to have a Frozen treat.??? Last time I had coconut flavored Italian ice, this time I had pina colada cream ice. In this location is like a little plaza and it had a spot which showed a whole menu. They even had ice cream, smoothies, cream iced and many more. I looked in the window where they prep the ice cream and it smelled like fun. ? I think I might want to come back some more flavors to try out.???“

“Ask for the pumpkin latte ice cream . Not on the menu but available til late fall Sooo good!“

“Extremely clean environment and very friendly n helpful staff... I loved the choices of protein and salad mixes... however- although I ordered 3 proteins, the salmon, shrimp n Ahi tuna; I wasn’t crazy about the Ahi tuna. It had no taste and the texture was spongy- my choice of the sesame dressing left the salad very wet and soggy by the time I got it home! I suggest eating there or ask for the dressing on the side!!! Bubble Tea’s & ice cream flavors were AWSOME!!! I highly recommend...“

“I had a craving for icecream, so I decided to come here as it was close and near where the restaurant I was eating at. As soon as I walked in, the employees greeted me with a smile and told me if I had any questions I could ask them. Throughout the experience, the employees helped me with choosing flavors and were extremely kind. Also, the store was very clean.“

“Great ice cream! Reasonably priced for the convenience of a food truck and they were very accommodating to us and our family.“

“Uncle Louie G's on Amboy Road is a must-visit! Their Italian ices and ice cream are top-notch, with a great variety of delicious flavors. The staff is friendly and always happy to let you sample before you decide. Perfect for a family treat or a casual hangout this place never disappoints!“

“specialty shakes. the fruit and milk teas are pretty good“

“Premium ice cream or cakes, which you should expect to pay premium prices. Everything is good, and I do love their cakes. The staff is helpful in ordering and has never made an error with us. It is not a matter of choosing the best versus other places. Sometimes you are in the mood for Coldstone, Carvel, fro-yo at Yogurt City, or some delicious homemade ice cream at Something Sweet. You make your choice and get what you expect to get. Coldstone is for big, tasty, and pricey.“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“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.“

“Ralph’s Ices is hands-down one of my favorite spots when the weather warms up. Every visit is a hit, and their flavor selection is wild—in the best way possible. My usual order? Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. It’s the perfect combo of rich, chocolatey goodness and sweet, nutty comfort. The texture is always smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Even when there’s a line, the service is fast and friendly. The vibe is chill, nostalgic, and feels like a proper summer tradition. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, Ralph’s never lets you down.

If you’re looking for a frozen treat that actually lives up to the hype, this is it.

Helwa Approved ✅“

“Great service with a smile! Lots of specials! Love the soft serve!!“

“The only “restaurant” in the outlet, we made a brief stop to grab a bite to eat.
I don't recommend the hot dog, very small without sauce without onions or anything else, a small sausage in a bun the size of a bun 😅
The burgers, on the other hand, are generous and apparently very good.
No waiting on our side, served quickly.“

“Quality products and excellent customer service Highly recommended Thank you for being there in our time of need“

“Before walking into carvel, I had hurt my finger and was in need of a bandaid. I ended up asking the worker and he looked very concerned for me. He ended up taking out a first aid kit and put the bandaid on me with a healing jelly thingy. He didn’t have too, but he did. I think that shows how much he cares about his customers. The sundae was 10/10 as well! 🍨😋“

“We had a delightful afternoon at the igloos in Snug Harbor. From our amazingly server Cody (hi Cody!) to the delicious ice cream, beautiful setting and sweet activities for my children, every thing was perfect. The Christmas crunch ice cream was delicious, and it was the best hot chocolate I have ever had. We will definitely be back in the summer, and looking forward to the igloos next year. Such a fu and family friendly holiday experience!“

“We don't have too many froyo spots on the island. This place is close, convenient and usually not too busy. The froyo, is refreshing and the toppings are fresh. I recommend the nutella/peanut butter froyo with pretzels and recess pieces!“

“Carvel made a wonderful cake for my Husband's Birthday. Thank you Jason and Janet.“

“They are very customer friendly. I called twice right during closing (without realizing) and they were kind enough to keep the store open for me. I get the mangoneada personalized and the price is adjusted.I drag my boyfriend every weekend to get some ?“
