Deniz Sezen: My favorite ice-cream place in Astoria! Not for everyone however salted caramel is sooo yummy 😋🤎
Morley Zhi: The fresh ice cream is amazing, but don’t forget: you can skip the line if you’re only buying pints from the fridge.
Colin M. Ford: The Astoria-specific flavor “Nectar of the Queens” is really, really good! Pairs well with the Pistachio Squared.
Maribel Lara: Never disappoints. Peanut butter, cherry/vanilla, piña colada, lemon and cherry are tops. Remember NO MIXING!
Serious Eats: Serving Italian water and cream ices for over 60 years. The lemon is peerless, but many fruit flavors excel. The peanut is especially peanutty and rich. Open during warm weather months.
Tracey Mcdonough: Peanut butter is the best. Be adventurous. It's worth it.

Charles Biletsky: A Forest Hills institution. Fantastic old school ice cream parlor. Home made ice cream and $5 shakes - what more could you ask for?
Serious Eats: As classic as a scoop shop/soda fountain gets. Great milkshakes and ice cream sundaes that load on the toppings; don't skip the hot fudge or homemade whipped cream.
Real Cheap Eats: "Every flavor is handcrafted, but the standout is maple walnut: rich, buttery, filled with nuts. Hot fudge is unnecessary on a scoop this beautiful" ($5.50). Read more.

Mallory: Try the most unique flavor you can find on their huge, ever-changing menu! Read more.
Serious Eats: Whacky flavors here like sweet corn and Captain Crunch, but straightforward chunk-laden ice creams are the best the shop has to offer. Closed Friday nights and Saturdays; call for daily hours.
L B: Crazy flavors like sweet corn and lox are what this scoop shop is known for, but the best ice creams are the sweeter, chunkier scoops like chocolate cookie dough.
