I would definitely come back and try one of their other unique flavors.

Might be the most obnoxious service we've experienced in years…read more Came in with my girl. Place was empty. Sampled three flavors. She tried one. Asked to try two more and the guy literally sneered "it's supposed to be three samples per person!", apparently because I had the gall to share one of my samples with her? (Horror!) I calmly responded "that's fine, I've tried three, she's only tried one, is it okay if she tries two more please?". He shouted out to someone sitting off to the side "I need that sign printed right away!" and then grudgingly gave her the additional samples hovering to make sure she didn't share them with me. What the heck? Received our two anemic overpriced scoops. Was not greeted when we entered. No thank you. Just pure attitude at a place with no other customers at the time. Meanwhile, places with far better quality ice cream like Salt and Straw, Van Leeuwen, Jeni's, Eddie's Sweet Shop, and countless others will gladly let you sample every single flavor in the shop with a smile, while here we had to pull teeth just to get the exact number of samples... that their strict policy allows for? I've been here a half dozen times, but after this, place is dead to me and my family. Ice cream is a food you eat for no other reason than joy, Steer clear of this joyless establishment.

Walked in on Saturday. One person online being served and 6 workers. I walked up to the cake…read morefreezer. Picked a cake and put it on the register counter. There was a young man with bright eyes like you want cake (I'm guessing that is what he was thinking bc no words were used). So he looks towards the other coworkers and says it will be about 5 minutes. I said it's 6 of yall in here nobody can ring me up. So apparently a young woman was training ALL of the staff and no one knew what to do or even what the dang ingredients were are she shouted fudge and swept across the room to point of the fudge to that same nervous young man. Idk what the kind of Ice cream emergency could have been occurring but I had to tell her ring me up sis. It takes 2 seconds and she did. Super frustrated and blowing hot air. And I felt for her bc she must be having a difficult time juggling the new staff and ice cream emergencies and regular walk in clients who want an ice cream cake in the rain. But that's how life is sometimes people are put in difficult situations and discover who they are and what they are capable of. And that's pretty awesome. Like you deserve 5 stars after all of the drama. The store is not yours but you seemed to understand that you were the face of the company and in that situation you put your pride aside and made my day. Thank you so much. Idk why or who set up the schedule to have all the trainees being trained and no one who knew anything except you. But my ice cream cake without writing was worth the $45 I paid for it. End of story. You probably never even knew how serious I was about the compliment when I said thank you great job. But we have all been there and we all must learn. So thank you I hope they get more staff or the staff being trained learns to make it happen in the heat of the moment just like you did. (This was a 4 minute interaction and reading it back it sounds wild dramatic but it wasn't)

Crossing off finally from my Queens popular place list to visit . Multiple attempts to come here…read moreand finally find the right time. This classic and favorite dessert spot still has its magic. When we arrived, there was a line on both sides- to sit down and the to go order. Since today is our first visit here but not our friends, we patiently waited for our turn to get a table. Corner table is not bad. We picked one of their best selling items- banana split, 2 scoops of ice cream. Comes with free whipped cream , choice of syrup, rainbow sprinkles a cherry. Extra charge for any added item like any toppings. Price is reasonable for the serving size, it can be shared. The server is ready to give extra cutlery. A glass of water should be asked, not automatically given. There is nothing extraordinary for the taste of the ice cream except the fact that all flavors are home made. The 1930's decors, classic kitchen gadgets, existing old style but refurbished furniture's , is selling popular candies in early 30's and original atm machines version still working are things that make this place extraordinary , an additional things to look forward to and keeping customers coming back. A monopoly Queen's edition board game puts a smile on my face when I find out that they are selling it for a good fee and includes a $20 gift card with it. Right away purchased it. Definitely coming back to try their other popular and hot items. By the way when we are about to leave, there was a long line waiting for seats.

I had every intention of becoming a customer, but the staff made that impossible…read more My son wanted to try Insomnia Cookies after hearing good things about it, so we stopped by on our way home. We were each holding drinks that we had just purchased from the neighboring store and planned to buy cookies to pair with them for the drive back. We weren't drinking them inside, weren't planning to eat inside, and the store doesn't even have seating or a dining area. Before we could even order, an employee stopped us and said, "No outside food allowed." I explained that they were just drinks we were holding and that we weren't consuming them. His response? "It's a kosher rule." I asked, "So how are we supposed to buy cookies then?" He simply shrugged. That was it. No attempt to explain, no alternative, no customer service whatsoever. I've never experienced being turned away from a grab-and-go cookie shop simply because I was holding a drink purchased next door. If this is truly store policy, it's incredibly unfriendly and makes no sense from a customer's perspective. If it was a kosher policy, a respectful explanation would have gone a long way instead of a dismissive shrug. Needless to say, we left without buying anything. They lost a sale and, more importantly, a potential repeat customer. First impressions matter, and this one was terrible.

Italian ice galore! Ralph's is a refreshing welcome to Forest Hills, Queens, NYC's shopping…read moredistrict Austin Street with company history origins in Staten Island, NYC. I remember I would frequently patronized Ralph's at 497 Newbridge Road, East Meadow, NY with my then boyfriend and we would take home large cups including several pints for his father. Indeed, this Ralph's is priced higher than competitor Rita's. (I have never visited The Lemon Ice King of Corona due to the inaccessibility location via mass transit. Thus, I cannot make a juxtaposition for comment). I am willing to pay for high quality of ingredients, good taste and abundance for quantity. Ralph's is my ultimate brand of Italian ice to seek and intake - Uncle Louie G comes second and nothing else. Ralph's always have a extensive menu of flavors for classic Italian Ice (water ice), cream ice (sherbet), ice cream, smoothies, and "Tornados" (blended treats). Italian ice made correctly without any pieces of ice and water at the bottom of the cup for the flavor to be diluted. I am old school traditional conservative and choose my default favorite type: classic Italian water ice. I ventured here on a cold day during the Christmas 2025 season rather than during a hot stifling summer day. At day's end it was a sweet phlegmatic ephemeral moment. Customer service is very attentive, efficient, courteous and polite as I was the only patron in the house. I've learned that (I think) most Ralph's locations will be closed during the winter months and re-open March 2026 since Italian ice and ice cream is a seasonal operating business. Oh! I always enjoy Italian ice year round and wished it were open year round which their website claims "fat free & cholesterol free." Space is large for patrons to order, wait and order pick-up for this location. I like the large wall-to-wall decal mural which is specific to the Forest Hills locale as it was my one-time former residence. There is one in-door bench which I sat to thoroughly intake to enjoy my sweet treat. I did receive a sales receipt. I would gladly visit again for watermelon, strawberry, mango, orange and cherry flavors. Small peach Italian ice, $6.19 The scooping for this small cup is large and very abundant. The flavor taste like summer's peach flair which contains actual pieces of peach fresh fruit. It does not contain dried processed fruit. Wow! It is a justifying sweet ending for a long haul arduous bitter day. Ralph's accurate correctively produces Italian ice as a wondrous delight which is thoroughly satisfying to the taste.

This time around I had their Mississippi mud ice in a small container and it was super delicious. Absolutely devoured the rich chocolate flavors on a steamy summer evening.

The staff were delightful and totally helped with ensuring you get the ice flavor. They offered tasting too to help the user experience.

Ice Cream N Tings is the Night and Shining Armour of St Albans. There aren't any local ice cream…read moreshops within walking distance inside of St Albans. I've heard that there was an ice cream parlor near, 196th but I was 2 years late due to my lack of awareness of my surroundings. So I decided to peek inside of this treasure trove and may I say, what a treat! Sensing the aura of the decor, pink & green striped wall conveying its charm and happiness, it also evokes a playful 80s aesthetic. All of that wrapped up in two words, FUN TREATS! I approached the counter snapping pics and a young lady stopped what she was doing to assist me. I got a little gun shy and I thought she was going to kick me out for snapping pics but she turned out to be very pleasant and engaging all the while, providing superior customer service. I found out her name is Mona, she allowed me to sample several selections such as - Latte Coffee, pistachio, Baileys, & Monster cookie, just flip it and you can see how it got its name. I'll let you figure it out from the pictures. The latte coffee was the least for me, only because I don't like chips in my ice cream. All of the other flavors that I mentioned, were a hit. I also purchased a carrot cake. Trust me on this, Bailey's and the carrot cake together are a grand slam! Instead of waiting for Mr. Softy, I stocked up on 4 flavors, Monster cookies, Pistachio, Bailey's, and Butter pecan. I can sit and enjoy at any hour of the day, in the comfort of my own home. Thank you to the owner and staff of Ice Cream N Tings... Inspire more, Yelp more!

Fresh, friendly, and reasonably priced! A welcome bubble tea and froyo place in Jamaica.read more

3.5 stars overall…read more The froyo here costs $0.65/oz, which is the cheapest I've seen so far in NYC, and there's even a buy one get one 50% off ongoing deal. However, given the price and deal and lack of information about the ingredients, I'm not sure how much yogurt is actually in this "froyo." It's very creamy, not tart at all, and very much like ice cream soft serve. The flavors weren't overly sweet though, which was good. When I visited, the flavors were vanilla, dutch chocolate, original tart, strawberry, cookies and cream, cake batter, mango sorbet, and pomegranate raspberry sorbet. The original tart and strawberry dispensers were out of service, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to try them. They have a good amount of toppings, all self-serve: pretzels, oreos, cookie dough, fruit, popping boba, etc. The worker was nice and polite, and the seating area was fine -- there 3 small tables near the front of the door. This is a good place for cheap(er) frozen yogurt, but I personally would go to Red Mango because I like the tartness of their froyo and can guarantee that their froyo is actual frozen yogurt. Cold Crush isn't a bad option though for those who aren't really picky about their froyo.
