33 Best Ice Cream Shops in Staten Island

“I went to an ice cream shop in Staten Island and it was absolutely excellent. The taste was really special, but what stood out even more was the person working there.

He is a Latino Spanish man, very polite, patient, and treats customers with great respect, kindness, and generosity. He has a wonderful personality and a really positive energy.

Honestly, if I ever go back to that place, it will be because of him as much as the ice cream itself. His attitude makes the experience even better.

I truly wish him all the best.“

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

“Ralph's Famous Italian Ices lives up to its name! Delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor — a true classic that never gets old. Great variety of flavors and a fun nostalgic vibe. Minor things keep it from 5 stars but it's an absolute must-visit, especially in the summer!“

“The self-serve concept makes it quick and convenient, and the staff is friendly and helpful when needed. It’s a perfect spot for a quick dessert, especially with family or kids. If you’re looking for something lighter, this yogurt is a great option—honestly, better than traditional ice cream in terms of taste and how it feels after.“

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

“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.???“

“I stopped by here on a warm afternoon and it was the perfect treat to cool off. They have so many different flavors that it was actually hard to decide, but everything I sampled tasted really fresh and authentic. The service was quick and the staff were super friendly, even with a line starting to form. It’s definitely a spot I’ll be hitting up again whenever I’m in the neighborhood and craving something sweet.“

“This place is absolutely amazing! I got a large banana fudge icy, it blew my mind how good it was!“

“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!!“

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.“

“10/10!! Cereal swirled ice cream??? Sign me up! I checked out swirl’in ice cream & cereal bar for the first time today and it was AWESOME! The concept of putting fun cereals that I haven’t had since I was a kid into ice cream was so unique and fun- a must try!! The owner is inviting and passionate. Can’t wait to go back and try another fun concoction!“

“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...“

“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! 🍨😋“
