50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Whitestone

“We recently hosted our child’s birthday party at Chillato , and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. From customized decorations and dedicated party host, everything was so well-organized and kid-friendly. The highlight, of course, was decorating custom pops and fresh waffle cones with fun toppings.

The party space was clean, cheerful, and perfectly sized for our group. The kids had a blast, and the adults loved the relaxed, happy vibe (and let’s be real—the ice cream too!).

If you’re looking for a unique, low-stress birthday venue with sweet treats and sweet people, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing! You can go there all summer and get something new and delicious each time. The Açaí bowls are the best I’ve had in NYC!“

“Free sundae on wednesdays with bae!I got the creamy orange creamsicle flavor and bae got pistachio. You get two free toppings on each and they both have to be the same size. I couldn’t finish mine it was so big! That’s what she said.Staff was super attentive and Friendly and they kept the customers flowing and going.Would definitely come back on a Wednesday for something sweet.“

“The froyo was outstanding. Place was clean. Prices were good. My kid left crying because he made a mistake and the person behind the counter was abrasive with him. Place is NOT kid friendly. When you run a sweets shop, you probably should be more prepared to come with the problems the kids bring. Hopefully will go back, if my kids isn’t scared.“

“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!“

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

“This is the cutest ice scream spot in this neighborhood. The owner is also super friendly and welcoming. We tried the waffle and crepes, which were freshly made upon ordering, and they were so delicious. Highly recommend coming here for a sweet treat.“

“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.“

“Delicious yogurt great atmosphere ❤️“

“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“

“The new ressee ice cream thing (forgot the name) it’s like a sundae/blizzard combo sorta, you eat with spoon… it’s shown as brown ice cream (not vanilla) which it is, just vanilla soft serve with peanut butter syrup.. I thought that it was peanut butter ice cream (which would have been better) it was still pretty good though but pretty expensive for a small cup of averaged ice cream.. $8 an some change ?‍♀️?‍♀️“

“I recently visited Aida’s Parkside in New York, and it was a wonderful experience! The gelato was rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavors. Each scoop was a treat.
The best part was the service. Omar, the worker who helped me, was perfect—so friendly and welcoming. He explained the different flavors, offered samples with a smile, and gave great recommendations.
The shop had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your gelato. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, I highly recommend Aida’s parkside. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors!
Overall, a 5-star experience with fantastic gelato and amazing service.“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

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

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

“Great ice cream and dessert experience. Staff is professional and helpful.“

“My husband, son & I went to mango mango dessert. The service was very nice & people was very sweet. The dessert & teas was great. We would go back again soon.😊“

“Clean location, simple to read menu, and amazing service“

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“Atmosphere and vibes! The novelty of cereal ice cream really depends on how it’s executed, and this spot does it well! Location makes it a perfect date night dessert place to complement your evening on Bell Blvd. In short, you are paying for an experience when coming here. The ice cream is more like a soft serve when mixed with the cereal and carries a price tag of 8 bucks a head. BUT, I will say I left SATISFIED. There’s a plentiful variety of mixing and matching you can do with your order and the staff were friendly. The portion is adequate, and as you can see in the photo, it’s always better with company!“

“The ice cream is delicious and there are so many good options! It’s just so delicious 😋“

“It’s small but it’s very nice and clean. It was my 1st time there and the young man at the counter took his time and suggested many options. He was very patient. This was about two weeks ago almost. Today I came back but he wasn’t there, a young lady was and she was very sweet. Great desserts and customer service. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing. They have delicious creamy ices. I tried jelly ring with spumoni on top. The Jelly ring ice had a lot of Jelly ring pieces throughout it. The spumoni was delicious and refreshing. The prices are honestly fabulous. I hope it stays that way. They even have soft pretzels and sandwiches and stuff. My new go to spot for a treat“

“Love this place the service is amazing the workers are so nice and friendly, the place inside is always super clean. As for the food and drinks are always so good and perfect 10/10 would recommend. Telling all my friends about this delicious hidden Gem ?!!“

“Went to Crumbl for first time with nieces, Cookies delicious, pricey but worth it! Can’t go often but when you do, cookies delicious! Enjoy

Parking: Large shopping center, lots of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Single level and Handicap spots available.“

“The Asian American person across the counter was soooo warm and kind, she made me wanna visit again. She made me a pretty hot fudge sundae with vanilla chocolate twist and whipped cream, cherry. She was extremely patient with our customizations (I visited first time). This place does not feel like a chain at all and has a very neighborhood shop feel to it. The ice cream is great in taste and smooth in texture but too huge for medium size. I will get a small next time. The prices are very affordable and worth the experience.“

“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 walked in to this beautiful establishment and I could not figure what out what I wanted. This establishment offers so many different types of choices it’s hard to keep up with all of them. I asked one of the employees what her favorite yogurt flavor was. When asked she said that she likes all of them and would love to help me to a sample. People like this with such kind attitudes make everyday life not as bad. Before leaving I made sure to leave a generous gift in the tip jar. Thank you Katilyn S have a great day.“

“I'm not really an ice cream person unless it's exceptional and tastes homemade. Astoria doesn't have many places that sell good ice cream, but Ample Hills is an exception. It has delicious ice cream and fun flavors, and they let you taste samples. So far, all the flavors I've had or sampled have been excellent, though I'm partial to the coffee flavors and butter pecan. I do wish they had more sorbet flavors for those of us who prefer sorbet over ice cream. The only sorbet they have right now is mango. But still, if you're really into ice cream, this is the perfect place!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“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!“

“I LOVE this place! The 2 workers are so kind and respectful. Am an ice cream lover so when I found out it's just a 5 minute walk I was coming almost every week lol. I get custom orders and there 8.00 plus tax. The place itself is soo cutely designed with the playful stickers! Very child friendly! :)“

“When it's empty it's heaven!...

Vegetarian options: Sweets and ice creams, I don't think that can be a problem...

Kid-friendliness: Sure, but it's always better to go there in rather empty times.“

“This place is really very good. I am tired of all those american ice cream shops, where you are consuming mostly elephant doses of sugar. But simple matcha cone ice cream is so delicious and well-balanced. More I am getting into Asian culture more I feel to disconnect from everything American.“

“This TCBY location is the best on the planet! Their cakes are the absolute freshest, most delicious creations and the owners and staff are the friendliest. Don't let the season pass without cold treats from this impeccably clean and beautifully run location. Highly recommended! Brad is a rock star!“

“Came in on a Friday at noon - the interior was welcoming and clean. I ordered the La Callejera and it was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Portion was big for me - ended up eating half and will be eating other half for dinner. Would definitely come in again. Order total was about 21 for the torta and a Mexican coke.“

“This location is very nice always clean,they are very friendly and pleasant here and always have all the flavors.
I was served by several times by Samantha who had always been helpful in selecting flavors, pleasant and takes great pride in serving the customers.
Best ice cream in Queens“

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

“i have been coming to aunty for snow cones whenever i am in the area since i was young, the ice with condensed milk is absolutely delicious and everyone working there is so pleasant, overall a great experience every time i come and i recommend her to anyone in the area.“

“Absolutely delicious! The flavors I chose today on a waffle cone: Pistachio & Piña Colada. The shop also has a small & nice sitting area in the front, with 2 swing benches, umbrellas, 1 iron bistro table & chairs.“

“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 :)“

“Still the best ice cream shop around with that old school nostalgic feel . .“

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

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“It’s so fun and delicious“

“Only ice place in the nearby area. The menu is extensive so probably something for everyone! The tastes aren’t artificial or overly sweet. The ice cream is nicely done when you pair it with a water ice in one of their twisters. Super accessible with parking just outside and the fact that it’s just off the turnpike. A skosh pricey for what it is but not out of line with similar other places. Staff friendly and approachable.“

“Nice decor colorful spoons and 1 size cups,large. No pricing displayed for yogurt or toppings. Flavors are really good but I like to know how much I am paying for merchandise I am about to purchase. The woman said nothing weighed yogurt gave me a total and I payed.“

“i absolutely love this place. my friends and i go whenever we have the chance to. every worker there is so welcoming and friendly. Douglas, Ashlee and the manager Mike have created such a fun environment for all the kids that go after school. highly recommend going with friends and family, they are never scared to spark up a conversation! lovely place. lovely decoration!“

“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.“
