50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Whitestone

“The gelato here tastes AMAZING! The staff is really nice, and you can sample flavors. I ordered the super big size which isn’t big to me with the raspberry cheesecake, Reese’s, and deep chocolate gelatos. They were all delicious, but the deep chocolate was by far the best! The deep chocolate gelato was the best chocolate gelato I’ve ever had thus far! Potions are very small so I recommend ordering the largest size. I highly recommend Chillato in Whitestone!“

“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!“

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.“

“loved the lychee soft serve“

“I could never complain about the food and quality. It’s insane. Really really good food. But the talking at the register, the slow line, the incredibly long wait for a sandwich is wacky. No matter if it’s clientele or personnel causing the hold up, you shouldn’t have folks waiting an hour for a sandwich.“

“Delicious yogurt great atmosphere ❤️“

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

“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“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.“

“I love this place and am sure to take my friends here whenever they visit. The tacos are probably the best in New York. Very authentic Mexican. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and the colors are beautiful.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite spot for an acai bowl! The owner and the staff are always so sweet and welcoming. I’m obsessed with the Stella nutella bowl. Also the portion sizes are good and actually fill you up. Their gelato is a hidden gem too!
Everything tastes so fresh and delicious. It’s become my favorite post workout reward. 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!“

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

“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.“

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

“This is a nice place, which is a combination of soft, serve ice cream, gelato, and Boba tea. Interesting flavors like tarot, Ube and Matcha . Clean facilities.. reasonably priced.. nice staff. Public restroom. Card payments are accept accepted. Parking on the street is available . Give this place to drive in the area. We will definitely be going back.“

“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.😊“

“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“

“Best gelato I’ve had in Astoria! And love that they opened the panini spot next door now, which has a perfect little bar. Great spot for a date night - have a sandwich, a cocktail, and some ice cream all with Astoria park as your backdrop.“

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

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

“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!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

“Got the lemon pepper wings and fries and it did not disappoint! Wings were crispy juicy and the lemon pepper was a rub, not a sauce. It was seasoned just right, not too much, not too little. Fries were golden and hit the spot too. The service was quick, everything hot and fresh. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Id like to share my wonderful experience at this crepe place. The crepes are absolutely delicious with a wide variety of toppings that are served very generously. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the owner is incredibly kind making every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for amazing desserts and great service I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back.“

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

“I was pleasantly greeted by the wonderful gelato attendant. The young gentleman Walter was incredibly polite and offered samples to help us make our selections. We ordered the tiramisu, mixed berry, Figo, and the vanilla chocolate mix. The ice cream was complemented with a waffle cone. (Crumbly and sweet :))

The gelato is not very sweet, velvety and bright. The beauty of small bath gelato is its freshness.

The place is impeccable.

Please go visit Walter and order your fresh scoops of gelato in the neighborhood.

I’ll be back for an affogato.

Thanks!“

“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!“

“It was my first time going to Ralph's Italian Ices and Ice Cream, and I absolutely loved it. They have a variety of flavors (over 100 of them!), and no matter what you get, whether a twister, sundae, or iceberg, you are always in for a delicious treat. Customer service was great! I will return, for more.“

“Fast and easy to order! My mom got the Spice Mango Shandy and I got the Mojito Creamsicle. Very well executed. The price is definitely worth for what you get. Next time, I’ll order the flights when it’s more sunny and got more room to drink.“

“This is by far the best juice bar in this side of Brooklyn! They have really good smoothies, I love their island roots signature smoothie it has a really smooth texture and it tastes really good.
Marcia is always very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend visiting this juice bar.“

“Thank you so much to Aunty’s Snow Cones for being such a sweet and memorable part of our wedding! 🍧❤ The snow cones with condensed milk were an absolute hit with our guests! Everyone was enjoying them, talking about them, and going back for more! 😂

You added such a fun, nostalgic, and delicious touch to our special day, and we truly appreciate you being a part of it. It was the perfect treat for our guests and definitely something people will remember!

Thank you again for helping make our wedding even more special and memorable. We truly appreciate you! ❤🍧

To whom is reading this review, this is your greenlight to book! They are amazing! And so so sweet!“

“We don’t even know how many times we’ve been here 😂 It’s definitely one of our go-to matcha spots in Flushing! We always get the matcha latte because it’s consistently so good and we never get tired of it. 🍵🤍

We also tried the mango sticky rice drink and the jasmine matcha latte, and both were sooo good! The mango sticky rice drink is such a fun and unique combination, while the jasmine matcha latte has such a nice floral flavor.

Definitely recommend trying them if you’re here! Everything is super refreshing and worth it. We’ll definitely keep coming back! 💚“

“This location has been excellent since my first time arriving here I came from Georgia to visit my mother and she sent me here to get some ice cream and from the first time I met the wonderful staff at this establishment I can't stop coming back! Although I only spent six weeks in New York it was worth my time I came to this location so much in the last 6 weeks I know I must have put on at least 20 extra pounds and it's not the ice cream that I love it's the staff here Samantha is amazing she really knows customer service she really knows how to be hospitable the ice cream is good but it's the people that made it even better. The other extraordinary woman here is a woman by the name of Diana I believe it was. She works in the cinnabon area and you can see her heart and her love in the way that she treats the customers I was sitting there eating ice cream one day and I watched how she just went above and beyond making the customer feel welcomed in this establishment. They have come to know me because I come here buying ice cream for my mother all the time and they even remember and they always ask about her it's beyond just a store it's almost like coming to see friends. Make it your business to stop at this location it is very much worth it the music is always excellent here it always has a great atmosphere.
This store should be a model to all the other Carvel locations out there on how you should treat your customers please utilize the staff to train other locations it will be well worth the time all of the people that are here are leaders and teammates and I've come to really like them and love them.“

“Very interesting concept and glad I tried it! We love mochi so the idea of this shop is great. We went with the matcha because it wasn’t overly sweet and had a nice earthy flavor without being bitter. The mochi was wrapped around the scoop of ice cream adding a textural element to the experience.“

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

“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 live in Toronto and was looking for a gift for my orthodox friend who lives in Crown Heights. I was referred to this business and I’m very happy with my experience. They made it very easy to order my selection of nuts and the presentation was beautiful. We communicated over WhatsApp and a phone call and the process was very easy. They were also very accommodating in terms of my friend’s food preferences. I’m so happy that I was referred to this business.“
