    Caffe Panna has the creamiest ice cream ever, and that may be because after a long line anything great hits the spot, but this felt like more than that. The ice cream was the perfect scoop, and with a drizzle of olive oil on their homemade panna (the whipped cream) is enough to make this the ice cream spot you crave. They have their usual chocolate & vanilla, but they shine in their daily rotation of flavors, making every time back a new experience. There is a small seating space inside and they have a bathroom.

    In the summer the line can get pretty long. The ice cream and Panna are just so good. There are flavors they have daily and flavors that change daily. There is a small seating space inside to the side with view of the ice cream. They also have a bathroom. Service is fine but do expect to wait a 5 mins plus.

    Finally tried this place in the summer after hearing about all the hype. A lot of people said it's the best in New York, and while I do think some of the flavors are really good, I feel like it was a bit overhyped tbh. I appreciate the seasonal/limited edition flavors that they rotate through and it's fun to try them, though I think that some of them have a little too much panna to ice cream and it gets a bit overwhelming flavor wise. Service is pretty quick and there's a indoor area to eat the ice cream and also watch the workers make it from scratch, though it definitely fills up pretty quickly during the summer time. That being said, it's a lot quicker than the Manhattan location, which feels like there's perpetually a long line at all times. Definitely a very solid ice cream place that I think is worth trying for the unique flavors.

    Caffè Panna is worth the hype! Don't let the line deter you, it moves fast. There's also indoor seating area and a bathroom. My favorite is definitely Aud's dream - vanilla sweet cream with thick peanut butter swirl. I love how thick the consistency is and the flavors are rich and bold.

    Don't be alarmed by the line wrapped around the building. The team here is pretty efficient which makes the line move quickly. I was a little disappointed that the carrot cake ice cream was sold out. However the cookie scooped ice cream was really good! You can also add three topping at no additional cost. Each scoop was full of cookies and I couldn't be happier. They have an inside area where you can sit. I enjoyed the big window which lets you look outside. Overall I enjoyed the ice cream and will be back if I'm in the area.

    Fish cheeks collab sundae

    As a former manhattanite I prowled around the gramercy location frequently. It's fantastic that in BK Cafe panna has given me another location to prowl. Lines might look long but it moves fast. There's also just barely enough seating every time. The inside is pretty small but it's warm and has water and a restroom if you need it. Staff are very nice even if they frequently pronounce names wrong! Most recently had the sundae collab with fish cheeks. Peanuts and brioche were abundant! Delicious and a hefty serving.

    Affogato
    Kelsey B.

    I have been a regular here since the location came to Greenpoint. At first, it was a quick visit when the time felt right for a scoop or two. Then, I followed their instagram account and occasionally saw a story with interesting flavors, and went with intention. I'm now at a point where I check their IG story daily, waiting for the next best flavor to drop. Traditionally, I've been a Cookies n Panna warrior since the Grammercy days. I think the affogato with Cookies n Panna is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Get it with a heaping scoop of panna and your life will change. I've had many amazing pint flavors here, but I'd steer you away from the caramel or marshmallow centers. It can get a bit overwhelming (specifically thinking the banana pudding flavor they had that was one of two major flops, out of many successes). I have mixed feelings on the granitas, the coffee one that was a BK exclusive this summer was nice but I felt the granita was too liquid. I tried the melon one recently which had a much better consistency, but wasn't very flavorful. I also have been meh on their sundaes. The mango sticky rice was good but I think it was missing some condensed milk. The tiramisu was okay, but not super flavorful. That being said, I will never regret giving them my money. I fear I will never have ice cream this good again. Not to mention they have a lovely interior, online ordering, bathroom, and water for customers.

    Indulgent high-end ice cream, topped with fresh whipped cream and add-ons making it a worthwhile treat. Ice cream is thoughtfully flavored, stretchy, and rich. $9.25 for a reasonably sized serving, topped with the complimentary all-important whipped panna. You can add complimentary drizzles and crispies like crumbled graham crackers. There are daily rotating flavors, and I had something hazelnutty and something coffee oreo-y. Both were excellent. I came twice in quick succession (it's near Vital Climbing Gym!). There's some counter and table seating for around 15. This location might be an ice cream factory or test lab, and it's far less busy than the Manhattan location.

    Don't get me wrong- I absolutely love Caffè Panna. However, the service here was less than subpar. I don't know who the male employee with the face tattoos & piercings is or exactly what his problem is but he was quite nasty speaking to my mother & I. When we asked for panna as the ice cream didn't come with it (albeit on their menu it says panna + 1 topping comes with every sundae), he laughed in our faces & goes you have to ask for it silly. I have to ask for it despite it saying it's included in the menu? Is he cheap, rude, obnoxious- maybe all of the above? Either way, it left a very sour taste in my mouth & I genuinely hope that the manager who I believe was this Asian lady at this location takes note & rectifies ridiculous behavior like this.

    Tiny scoops with whipped cream, drizzle, and crunch
    Alana K.

    My friend and I came here on a Saturday night around 9pm. The line was around the block but it moved fast and took less than 10 minutes. Since we got there right before they closed, they were sold out of a lot of flavors. I ordered a tiny scoop of Aud's Dream (sweet cream ice cream with peanut butter swirl). All scoops come with whipped cream, a drizzle (I chose fudge), and a crunch (I chose Oreo pieces). There is some seating inside, but most people just ate their ice creams on the sidewalk. The ice cream was delicious; we thought it was creamier than most ice creams. I will definitely come back earlier in the day to try more of their flavors.

    Blueberry pancake collaboration with Clinton street bakery
    Alex M.

    On Clinton St.'s IG page, I saw they had a collab with Caffe Panna and I knew i had to have it. Two of my favorite NYC spots joining forces is already dangerous enough -- but this blueberry pancake Sundae? This was a deadly level of delicious. The sundae was everything I hoped for and then some. The creamy, rich ice cream layered with that blueberry swirl, the crumble, the whipped cream, and the little pancake topper just brought it all home. I passionately hate that this was only a limited-time thing, but I'm grateful I caught it this weekend. I had to darn near shake the fabric of reality not to go back immediately for seconds. As of writing this, I'm already planning to return tomorrow before time runs out. Caffè Panna, please, I'm begging you. Bring this one back sooner rather than later.

    Gramercey park location
    Katie L.

    As a very proud midwestern where we pride ourselves in our dairy and ice cream, I was a bit skeptical and thought this was going to be an overhyped NY spot. I am not joking you, but this is my favorite ice cream EVER. I was in NY for a long weekend and had it two evenings in a row. I can attribute it to the Red Flag (sweet cream, strawberry swirl, house made graham crunch) because this combination is my all time favorite dessert combination. Yes, the lines are log, but it moves. This location compared to the Gramercy Park has an indoor area with a bathroom. The ice cream is indeed sweet, very fluffy, and the toppings are so fun to try! The first night I made the mistake of ordering a flavor I wasn't particularly interested in and then got the olive oil drizzle (so that was more like a 3.5/5 experience). I learned. I adjusted my order the second time around to get an original size of Red Flag, more strawberry swirl, cream, and the graham topping. THIS WAS ELITE. I will now be dreaming about this dessert spot until the next time I come visit.

    matcha yuzu soft serve
    Sophia W.

    I did not try the panna, but I had the matcha yuzu soft serve - it was really good! It's a pretty large portion, with a subtle matcha flavor and not too sweet. Honestly, I like Caffe Panna more for the experience than for the dessert! It's fun to wait outside in the line, usually late at night, and watch so many people satisfy their sweets craving. They have weekly changing flavors. You order at a window and wait for your order. There is a small indoor area with little seating and a bathroom.

    Ollies is one of those places that you walk into and just instantly smile…read more The ice cream taste like "happy". There's so many little tchotchkes and random knickknacks to buy or just browse while you're enjoying a cone or sundae. On a nice day, grab a seat outside in the bright orange signature chairs, people watch, and enjoy your ice cream. Or hang inside and play on the video game console while you eat. And honestly, if and when I get a boyfriend, this place is absolutely going on my "future date spot" list.

    Cute little ice cream shop in Brooklyn with a more hipster vibe…read more Wanted to try some different flavored ice cream and they have a small selection of ice creams I've never tried before so that was nice. I do want to point out that their flavors do change den the ones online (ended up choosing different flavors once we realized the ones we wanted to try were taken off the menu). We got two scoops of ice cream and you can get it in either a cup or cone. The cannoli ice cream was surprisingly good. I'm not the biggest fan of cannoli but my fiancé wanted to try it and we were both pleasantly surprised. It had pieces of mashed of cannoli bits within and the mini chocolate chips also added a really nice flavor. The second scoop we got was the Coconut Coffee which I was excited about. It was also really good as well however, it is not an ice cream you can have a lot of. I think there were caramel swirls within that made it super sweet so it was definitely a lot tougher to finish after the first few bites. The service was great as well. You do have to be patient as there is only one person who is taking the order and scooping the ice cream but we didn't feel like we waited too long.
