ZenFoodsterJune 14, 2013Tasted Horchata, Strawberries & Cream, Pistachio, Dark & Stormy, & Caught in the Rain & think award-winning Salted crack caramel is da bomb!
Kaila SquiresDecember 24, 2015Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace is great!! 😋☺️ I wasn't a fan of the pretzel cone though, I think it was a bit too thick. A normal sugar cone would've been better.
Paul SanwaldSeptember 24, 2015My favorite flavor is peppermint patty, but all the flavors are great. Get a chocolate chip cookie cone if that kinda thing sounds tasty.
AmateurConciergeMarch 17, 2019One of the best ice cream spots in the 5 boroughs. So creamy. Ooey gooey cake is a favorite
CompassAugust 12, 2013The quirky astroturf-covered exterior is the only thing that’s not 100 percent natural here. Organic ingredients and hand-churned scoops keep ice cream lovers of all ages wrapped around the block.
Best ice cream in New York. Try the Salted Crack Caramel for a solid flavor, but the weirder it sounds, the more of a slam dunk the flavor is bound to be!
TingSeptember 6, 2014Quite possibly the best ice cream I've had in NY. We ordered three scoops of awesome: The Dude, Salted Crack Caramel, and Mexican Chocolate.
Long lines for ice cream sound crazy, right? Not when the ice cream is this brain freezingly good. Simple sugar cone with ANY flavor will make your summer day. Give the pistachio a try, it's aces!
my favorite ice cream. I love the ooey gooey butter cake and the chocolate anything but you really can't go wrong.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 13, 2012Check their Facebook page for their daily menu of 24 hand-churned flavors. Mainstays like Salted Crack Caramel and Nanatella are top notch.
Cat AngSeptember 7, 2015Delicious ice cream in a variety of inventive, fun flavors with clever names to boot
This is the original location for the ice cream makers who are starting to make a national name for themselves!
Esther ShamieMarch 20, 2014Not your typical ice cream store! Most warm and inviting staff I ever encountered. Unique, delicious flavors. Stayed way past closing and wasn't rushed at all! Loved it.
GayngoodOctober 4, 2018Oatmeal lace and ooey gooey are by far the best, but you really can’t go wrong w any flavor here. Once September comes, stop going. Freezer burn is not it
No point offering fave flavors cuz they add delicious new ones all the time! (Some perennials like salted crack caramel are always there.) Get a spiral cone when they have 'em—delicious, all too rare.
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013'The scoops have a good texture and the salty, smoky, bitter Salted Crack Caramel flavor is an SE favorite. Flavors rotate often, but luckily that's a mainstay on the menu.'
Michael BuonoApril 15, 2012Salted Crack Caramel is... a very dangerous thing. Mexican Hot Chocolate was good. They had a flavor, Moroccan something that was mint with fig in it. Go for the crack, but the rest are good too.
Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Best ice cream! Everything is so good! Try the pretzel cone with whatever flavor ice cream you decide on.
Jay SApril 15, 2017Cookie au lait wasn't available, so we went with the commodore. Perfect blend of sweet and salty!
Leah LabrecqueSeptember 8, 2014The lines are long but the product is worth the wait. It's so damnably creamy that all other "ice cream" can go punch itself in the face.
Marion GrimesMay 6, 2013Not just ice cream but THE treat you need. All flavors are great but I recommend "the cookie that crumbles". Tip: always ask for one sample... Or more!
Snap Mallow Pop! With my first spoon, I was already planning my next visit. There always seems to be a line to get in but it's well worth it.
Margaret-Ellen JeffreysFebruary 23, 2014Absolutely incredible hand-made ice cream. My favorite in all of NYC. Peppermint Pattie and PB Takes the Cup are our latest favorites!
Stephanie SharplessMay 16, 2018In the raw (I think that's what it's called) and God save the queen, both are delicious
- Excellent ice cream, interesting flavors, it all tastes great, probably the best ice cream I had in NYC.
Tracy SimonJune 30, 2013Prepare for long crowded lines. Ordered the salted crack caramel and the ooey gooey pound cake ice cream. Very disappointed in the crack caramel, very bitter and salty! Loved the pound cake ice cream!
It took dozens of visits before I got around to trying Sweet as Honey, but it's definitely a new favorite. So good.- Jason MitchellNovember 16, 2013Best ice cream I have ever had. My favorite flavor is Sweet as Honey but never had anything that wasn't incredible.
- Lots of exciting flavors, and all made entirely in-house. They make their ice cream from local milk which they pasteurize themselves (!) as well as local cream and eggs.
Pro-tip: if you get a small serving, they'll actually give you two scoops and you can mix and match flavors.
Never seen it before and had to get it - mexican hot chocolate was PERFECT. The staff was super friendly and helpful, this is my new favorite ice cream spot!
The best ice cream I've ever had! No bases used here, everything from scratch. I'm convince they have a dairy cow out back.
Alex HennesseyJune 23, 2014You can't go wrong with any flavor, and the salted crack is great, but IMO "Ooey Gooey" and "The Munchies" are supreme, esp. for sweet-and-salty junkies
Meg FarmerApril 21, 2015Really can't go wrong with anything, but the marshmallow/rice crispy ice cream is out of this world.
BenjaminAugust 24, 2014The ooey-gooey buttercake is an amazing base if you're in the topping game. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the selection, so don't be afraid to sAmple- During the summer they close at 10 on weekdays and 11 on Friday and Saturday, but as long as you squeeze in the door before closing time you're golden, even if there's a long line.
Kris ConcepcionAugust 9, 2014Homemade salted caramel ice cream is the way to go. Just avoid the free hand job night line that inevitably crops up on Saturdays.
Anything here is amazing. I'm obsessed with the oatmeal flavor. It sounds odd, but believe me, it's AMAZING
by far the best ice cream around. inventive and fun. they'll let you try a bunch, but get the salted crack caramel and the mexican hot chocolate.
Nuri JeonNovember 11, 2014Small size of the Salt Crack Caramel is big enough to share with your buddy. Try before you get, it might be too salty for you if you are not from the States.
What makes this place so good (besides the actual ice cream) is how great the staff is: cheerful, generous
Julius TarngSeptember 12, 2015The chocolate sorbet texture was real flakey and unsatisfying (compared to some other vegan ice creams around like van leeuwens)
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Ample Hills just released a line of soft serve in flavors like horchata and “Bourbon, straight up.” Read more
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best and Most Accurate Use of the Word 'Crack' in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The Salted Crack Caramel will cause symptoms of withdrawl.
ᴡ BakerApril 13, 2014Best ice cream in all of NYC. Holy shit. Pardon my French. It's all good. Oh yeah they love giving samples!
Colleen MeganNovember 14, 2014They have some out of this world homemade ice cream. Worth the trip :)
