I've been coming to Papa Mia's since I was a child (it was the closest spot we could safely ride…read moreour bikes to and spend our $5 weekend treat allowance) it was always here, Wendy's, or an ice cream truck. So every time I get to come back (which isn't as frequent) it's a throwback to my childhood; but the water and cream ices still hit the same. My go to is the mint chip. I mean for a couple bucks you can get a taste of youth. It's a small hole in the wall style shack off Montauk Highway across from the golf course, with outdoor only seating if that, but just has this must stop at vibe to it. There's always some high school or college students working there who are fun to talk to and have great personalities (and they have to with being in a non air conditioned shed for hours at a time haha) For what it is, a simple ice hut, it's exactly what you need it to be. The furthest thing from fancy, but the closest thing to the 90s.

This was not the worst frozen yogurt I've had but definitely not as good as what I'm used to. It's also extremely expensive for what you are getting. I paid $0.86 cents per ounce or $9.82 for a small cup that I didn't even fill up to the rim. Forty Carrots doesn't charge per ounce so you always get a full sized cup. Unfortunately, they do not offer a kids sized cup or small sized portion at all so it's not possible to buy anything smaller than a 12 oz. Cup. Ir would've been nice if they offered a 6 oz cup size let's say if you didn't want to blow a full days worth of calories on this.

Came to try out the new ice cream place and it was pretty good. There is a LARGE selection of ice…read morecream to choose from and the menu is large and very easy to read. In addition to just regular ice cream, they offer crepes with or without ice cream and waffle boats and waffle yachts. A waffle boat is essentially 2 fresh made waffles with a scoop of ice cream and your choice of topping and a waffle yacht is 4 fresh made waffles with 2 scoops of ice cream. My husband and daughter got the waffle boat while I got the waffle yacht (because I am a Queen and demand the fanciest of items). I had vanilla ice cream with cookie butter sauce and crushed biscoff cookies on top and whipped cream. They use actual real whipped cream from the can not like cool whip or dairy topping and the waffles are made pretty much on demand. This combination was absolutely dynamite and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. The ice cream was rich and delicious and did not melt instantly even though it was next to freshly made waffles. The scoops were a great size and the toppings were premium. The waffles are very dense (almost like the density of a zeppole) and are like a log shape. Different that what I am used to but very, very delicious. My petty grievances: the waffles are so thick you really need to be able to cut them with a knife but there were only forks available. The packaging is a large plastic container regardless of if you are eating there or taking it to go and overall as a vessel it is too large for the product. Also, if you close the lid with fresh baked waffles, condensation is going to form and melt the ice cream quicker. I had the employee leave mine open for this reason but we also dined in. Last but not least, the waffle to ice cream ratio is off. For 4 waffles, you need more ice cream. It should be more like 2 waffles 2 scoops of ice cream in a boat and 4 waffles and 3-4 scoops of ice cream in a yacht for optimal ice cream to waffle ratio. Petty grievances aside, I will absolutely be back all summer long because the ice cream was great. They also have a coffee shop inside the same location so you can get caffeinated as well before or after your ice cream adventures.

There's a small merchandise area where they sell hoodies, T-shirts, and even a toy ice cream truck. I noticed they had a large selection of ice cream and really appreciated the assortment of cones available. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but the customer service was good. They also offer a BOGO sundae special on Tuesdays, which I definitely plan to take advantage of in the future. For such a nostalgic company, though, I do wish they had some seating so people could sit, talk, and enjoy their ice cream with family and friends. Overall, it's a fun stop for a sweet treat, but adding a small seating area would really make the experience feel more complete.

Oct 01 Just when you think you have had the best and then…read moreyou have tried the rest..... Kilwins? OMG what have you done to me? I haphazardly found Kilwins Ice Cream on the way to an event. I could not find the event and Kilwins Ice Cream LOOKED D'licious and beautiful so I went inside and asked for directions. I was given directions for my venue by two female employees inside of their production center, I told them I would be back. On my return, I stepped inside of the beautiful and very attractive shop, the person that gave me directions welcomed me back. What an impact that one statement had on me, I was most definitely impressed. Most people see you come back and act like it was your first time there. The young lady acknowledged my return. WOW! For sure these employees are aware and attentive of who is coming into their shop. KUDOS to the staff. I was also greeted and attended with such enthusiasm and joy, it made me happy to spend some money, and I did not mind the cost. My actions were evident when the young lady was telling me the price. My response was, it's okay, I am not worried about the price. Thinking to myself, I just wanted some pecan clusters. I did say that this shop looked d'licious so here is my purchase- Peanut Caramel Corn - something like crunch and munch but 1000 times better and different. A softer chew and oh so good. Peanut Brittle- The peanut brittle that I have had from other places where hard caramelized light in contrast, this is a darker version and not too hard to chew. Not like hard candy like others. Very good. Pecan Clusters - A standing ovation. I have had the rest and now I have had the best. This pecan cluster was so soft to chew with portioned pecan chips. Wait for it.... and a hint of salt. BOOM! OMG! This pecan cluster exceeds anything that the famous River Street Sweet has in its shop. This is a home run. I enjoyed this experience so much that I had to brag about it to someone that worked at the other place I mentioned. River what? I forgot the name, LOL! This was a very expensive visit and within my budget. I think $86 is far less than a ticket to Savannah Georgia! But Hey! Inspire more, Yelp more!

We were a family of seven and all first timers. Overall, a solid first visit. Ice Palace is located in Oakdale. There is a small, free parking lot behind the building. There are some tables and chairs outside for customers to enjoy their ices. This spot is cash only, so come prepared. Service was cordial. We also encountered the man everyone in the reviews is talking about. He wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly either. Right to the point of taking orders, filling them, and then handling the cash payments. No thank yous, you're welcome, or any other type of friendly chitchat or service talk. Serving sizes were generous, however, the prices did reflect the it. Ice Palace is definitely higher in price than other places. My husband and I tried the Lemon Line Ice and Peanut Butter Oreo. Both were plentiful, tasty, and refreshing. A perfect after-dinner treat. Ice Palace was a solid place to get some dessert after our meal. I wouldn't say we'd return everytime we're in the mood for ices, but if we found our way back to Oakdale, we'd consider it.

That may work at an old school Italian joint, but this is an ices place. There is just too much local competition to not treat your customers like they're valued. They'll go elsewhere. Ok, on to the rest. It has decent outside seating, but the parking is confusing and separated from the storefront. The selection is typical for an ices place, same stuff you'd see at a Ralph's. The prices are high. In terms of the actual ices, the scoops were pretty big and the flavors were good. No knocks on it there. That being said, I can get the same stuff five minutes down the road with a smile, so I'll take my business there.
