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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great store with fantastic service to soothe your sweet tooth! They have great daily specials. And as an adult, it’s always fun to indulge in your desire for a Fudgie The Whale cake because your heart desires it. Special shout out to Marlene whose service was spectacular!“

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

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

“Stopped by Ralph’s Italian Ices and had a great experience. The ice was flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. What really stood out was the customer service.There was a blonde girl Sofi working who was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. She made recommendations, kept the line moving, and had such a positive attitude that it made the visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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 😋“

“Crepe House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with great quality ingredients. The crepes are amazing, and the service is always friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Omar, who always provides excellent customer service and makes every visit a great experience.“

“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!“

“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 ?‍♀️?‍♀️“

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

“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! 😍“

“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.😊“

“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!!“

“The ice cream is excellent, and my wife and I really enjoy coming here. The only downside is that the atmosphere can sometimes feel uncomfortable because the owner is frequently present and seems somewhat stern with employees. It may just be his management style, but it can affect the overall customer experience. The product is great, though, and that’s why we keep coming back.“

“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 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.“

“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 :).“
