Brownie Sundae was delicious but waitors are not that friendly. Felt a bit uncomfy with service and seating. Place was empty and waitors was a bit rude seating empty tables because we’re 2.

Try the Almond Joyful and ask for hot chocolate fudge. Definitely one to share, since it's massive!

a daycare center disguised as a neighborhood café. their espresso drinks are excellent, for what it's worth.

Great decor and vibe. Desserts, ice creams, and shakes are all yummy, but always seem a bit overpriced.

Vibe is on point, but there’s better ice cream to be found

If its early enough in the day, get the Rocket milkshake. Homemade coffee ice cream blended with iced coffee. You'll be buzzed.

Decor is adorable, extensive menu. Brownie sundae was fine but can't wait to try everything else!

You wanna know what has your name on it? The Simi Sundae. And you'll think of me as the pistachio ice cream and caramel sauce runs down your face...
jake furstMarch 16, 2013
here for lunch? get the grumble-grumble: grilled cheese, soup and an egg cream for $12.
Meredith HopeNovember 18, 2014
This place is adorable. Love the vintage motif! The Mr. Potato head sundae is a must.
Hazel SavenaySeptember 22, 2014
The sundae'a are really good especially the hot brownie sundae!
CompassMay 14, 2014
Midcentury décor and irresistible egg creams and soda floats are this vintage-themed institution's sweet spots.

Coolest place in Brooklyn! If you visit, it's a must-go.

The table in the back is great for big groups, plus, it will make you feel like you're at your house. It's cozy.

The ice cream options are fantastic. Love the cookie monster. But the service is lacking. They stand around talking to each other instead of taking orders.
Joseph LeJanuary 12, 2019
Amazing old fashioned soda and ice cream shop! Egg creams!
Júlia CastellóJanuary 19, 2015
The Peanut butter cup is a delightful mix of flavours hard to describe with words
Carlos ValleSeptember 6, 2014
The Cookie Monster sundae is delicious but massive! They serve half portions for $8 even though they aren't listed on the menu.
Reagan BarbosaAugust 9, 2018
The atmosphere of this place is the real pull. ADORABLE old timey farmacy. The pineapple soda was yum. The ice cream was just ok though.
Erin MurphyOctober 13, 2014
YUM. The sundaes are huge and are plenty for 2 or more people.
Martin RigbyJuly 10, 2018
Cool ambiance. Great T-shirts. Good sundaes. Great sodas.
BruceAugust 24, 2022
brownie sundae was delicious. it was small but decadent!
Megan DoAugust 4, 2012
Quite possibly the cutest place in Brooklyn. Get a Cherry Lime Rickey or share one of their huge sundaes with your love!
William NelliganAugust 10, 2014
Sit at the counter, order an egg cream, listen to the music: it's almost the forties.
Carmen NMarch 21, 2018
Ice cream sundae choices for days, I always want to come back and try a different one.

Seasonal desserts are very recommend it i.e. pumpkin ice-cream in autumn.

There's nothing quite so good as a chocolate egg cream. Lighter than ice cream but just as much fun.
Kathryn FoxGrovesSeptember 21, 2013
Tootsie Roll Ice Cream Soda!!! Cherry soda and chocolate ice cream. Absolutely perfect.
Andrew GargisoDecember 28, 2014
Cookie Monster sundae is amazing. Go in the book for games and books

Egg cream. Get the chocolate, then try the specialty ones.

Classic egg creams, delicious milkshakes and floats

Great space, wish they focused more on quality vs variety
Steff HindMarch 9, 2015
Try the gluten free cookies and pretzel sundae
Daniel McDonoughJuly 19, 2014

If you haven't been here in a while, come back! Looks like they've revamped the menu in a serious way!
Brian LemondAugust 20, 2011
It's not on the menu, but go for the peanut butter milkshake. You can ask them to run caramel inside the glass for that extra gluttonous touch...
Stella SenselJuly 6, 2013
The biscuits are amazing and the malted milk shakes are yummy!
Melissa ThorntonAugust 23, 2010
Sundae of Broken Dreams is 'licious. Ask for 1/2 caramel & 1/2 hot fudge to go with those chunks of pretzel rod. Sweet & salty & oh so well done.
Aeolian-Skinner Princess PastoreJune 5, 2017
Love the sundaes!!

There are a lot of children's book. A very "baby-friendly" spot in carroll gardens.
Natalie VJune 7, 2016
Really awesome ice cream and feels retro.
miles lennonJuly 10, 2016
The warm brownie sundae is indulgent beyond words
Sergey SmirnovMay 13, 2017
Extremely sweet ice cream but the interior is really cool.
Rachel LandeJuly 4, 2012
Broken Dreams was an amazing combo of salty & sweet! Like a much better chubby hubby sans chocolate.

Affugazi Affagato for the win. The espresso dip all over it. Yuhummm
Daryl PritchardFebruary 19, 2017
Great ice cream, great service.
BruceAugust 24, 2022
the customer service was severely lacking but the brownie sundae i had was worth struggling through the tepid interaction.
