50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Whitestone

“Love this place. It is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. We ordered the pistachio and grapefruit. We can taste the natural fruit and some pulps in the grapefruit gelato. The pistachio is all natural pistachio. No crazy green coloring and the nut is roasted. We will come back to try the black sesame and coconut next time.“

“A true neighborhood gem! This ice cream spot has an amazing local vibe — warm, welcoming, and full of character. They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic favorites to unique and seasonal creations. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and creamy, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly and always happy to let you sample before choosing. Whether you're grabbing a quick cone or hanging out with friends on a sunny day, this place feels like home. Highly recommended“

“I had a great experience at Shake ’N Swirl. My daughter absolutely loves this place, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites.

The prices are very affordable, especially for the quality and variety they offer. The place is clean, well organized, and has a fun, colorful atmosphere that makes it enjoyable for families.

The service was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can tell they care about their customers.

Another big plus is the parking—there’s plenty of space, and it’s very easy to access the location.

Overall, a great spot for ice cream and treats. Highly recommend, especially if you’re going with kids!“

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.“

“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!“

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 Green LIC in Astoria is an absolute must-visit if you're into healthy, fresh, and delicious treats. Their açaí bowls are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had—super fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly portioned for the price. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

Their gelato is another standout—so creamy and rich, it’s hard to believe it’s from a spot that also serves juices and smoothie bowls! Speaking of which, their juices are always fresh and refreshing.

The space is also spotless and welcoming, with a clean, colorful vibe that makes you feel good about what you're eating. I highly recommend The Green LIC to anyone looking for a tasty and healthy spot in the neighborhood!“

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

“Is so great guys should try it u be amazed“

“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.“

“Brought my kids here this week and we all had a great experience. The ice cream was amazing, the place was clean and had a great vibe, and the staff really stood out super friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I’ve visited other Robin’s locations before and they’ve always been consistently great. You can tell they care about both their product and customer service. My kids are already asking to go back, so we’ll definitely be making this a weekly stop.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I had an amazing experience at Tipsy Scoop! The concept is super unique, alcohol infused ice cream that actually tastes incredible. The flavors are rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced… you can really taste the quality.
The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and helpful with recommendations. Whether you’re going for a date night, hanging with friends, or just want to try something different, this place is a must.
Everything was fresh, the presentation was on point, and honestly, it’s one of those spots you keep coming back to. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots now!
Highly recommend checking it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“The snow cone flavors are amazing here. Fresh, great size, and delicious. One of the best West Indian snow cones I’ve had in NY. My kids and I love stopping in during the summer. We visit at least 7times for the summer. She also sells other items as well which you can take a look at while there getting a snow cone“

“Fruitti Yummi frozen yogurt is sooo good. There aren’t a large variety of fro-yo flavors, but they have all the solid ones here, and a large array of toppings.It is a self-serve location (and they’re covid conscious), providing you with gloves and hand sanitizer to use before serving yourself. I liked that, it made you feel as though the establishment cares about keeping covid at bay.The place is squeaky clean by the way. Everything is tidy, the machines are clean (been to some spots with dirty ones), and the area for toppings was so perfectly organized that me and my boyfriend barely wanted to touch it lol.There was one young lady at the register over-seeing everything, who gave us a friendly greeting when we came in, so that was nice.Other than that there’s not too much to say about a frozen yogurt spot, but this is definitely one of the better locations. You can tell the difference in the quality of flavor, so I highly recommend stopping by.“

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

“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.😊“

“Delicious & Excellent food allergy information! Highly recommend.“

“Great local frozen yogurt spot. We appreciate that there are always sugar-free flavors available. And usually a dairy free option. Most yogurt places around us only offer no sugar added, and are limited to one flavor if available. There also are sugar-free and gluten-free muffins. The scones are amazing. And there’s a bunch of frozen bagel options, cookies and brownies available. Plenty of toppings, for sugar-free they have chocolate chip chips and hot fudge. There’s also indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is friendly, fast and helpful.“

“Had a great experience at the Lynbrook TCBY store! Brad, the friendly staff member behind the counter, went above and beyond to make our visit special. He kindly offered us samples of any flavor we wanted, which helped us decide on the perfect frozen yogurts. His warm smile and excellent customer service made my lunch break even sweeter. I met up with my wife and daughter there, and Brad made sure we felt welcome and taken care of. If you're lucky enough to catch him on Tuesdays or Thursdays (his days in the store), make sure to say hi - you won't be disappointed!“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

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

“Very nice cookies that taste splendid! However the staff could be a little more enthusiastic (referring to the ones that have worked there for a while, I get it can be tiring to put on a smiley face for each customer that walks in, but you are getting paid to do it and it makes their experience 10x better!). So, there are many new employees who are very welcoming and kind!“

“Crepehouse is honestly one of those spots you walk into once and instantly know you’re coming back. The food hits every time. The crepes are fresh, soft, and packed with flavor, and they don’t cheap out on the fillings either. The place is always clean, the vibe is cozy, and the workers treat you right. Whether it’s a sweet crepe, a savory one, or even just grabbing a drink, everything tastes on point. Definitely one of the best spots around and worth every visit“

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

“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 ?‍♀️?‍♀️“

“Great variety, excellent service. Half cannoli/half lily with nuts - DELICIOUS!“

“I wish I could give Jessica and the amazing team at Carvel in Woodside more than 5 stars! They always come through with amazing designs and beautiful cakes whenever we need. Most recently I surprised my son's class with Lunar new year ice cream cups and they were so beautiful! Everyone was blown away. Thank you as always for being a wonderful community member, for having the best ice cream and for bringing smiles to kids and adults alike! 😍“

“the original one and only ice cream Italian ice stand way before Luigi way before Guido's a local favorite quality products made fresh“

“This is one of the best places to have breakfast. The honey buns are amazing!! The mocha is my absolute favorite drink there. I can’t wait to get the homemade soft serve when the weather heats back up!! Great customer service too. Everyone has to try Dolly’s Coffee Shop!!“

“Best location ever. If you are interested in something very sweet, Isabella’s is the best place. Their Ice Creams and Italian Ices are amazing. And their prices are not bad. Went several times throughout the Summer of 2025 to treat myself with something sweet after going for an exercise session at a nearby park.

Try out their Waffle Cones if you choose an ice cream. They are so amazing. The girls that work there let you choose what you want. On a very beautiful summer day, they even have tables outside to sit and enjoy.

I am definitely looking forward to visiting them again very soon for the Summer 2026 Season. You girls rock.“

“I love this spot. They have every variation of liquid and popping pearls you could think of and it all tastes great. My family's had the rolled ice cream and loved it. Sometimes they'll offer cute stickers and they even have a rewards punch card.“

“I want to say a huge thank you to Sam at Cinnabon Carvel for the beautiful cake for my grandma! She absolutely loved it. The cake was perfect, and the service was just as amazing. Sam was so friendly and kind, which made the whole experience even better. I’ve already recommended this location to others and will definitely be back. Thank you again!“

“Delicious ice cream!!🍦🍨🍧😊“

“The staff, especially Sophia A. is very friendly, informative, patient and was kind to my inquisitive 9 yr old. The price is great!! Had their coconut raspberry icy, it had a great texture to it. I don't live near by, however I frequent the area a few times a year, I can't wait to go back!!“

“I always love coming here and would get my ice cream. They’ve even accommodated me when I got there super close to closing time. Saw that they make cakes and was so happy I decided to get my birthday cake from them this year! It was delicious. My whole family loved it. Some went for seconds. Couldn’t recommend them again. Next birthday cake will be from them! lol. I had the Oreo & strawberry cheesecake with Oreo crunch in between.“
