Went to Davey's Ice Cream in Greenpoint one evening after dinner in the neighborhood. It's only a few minutes walk from the Nassau Avenue G train station and many of the restaurants along Manhattan Avenue. We were especially interested in trying Davey's because they offer vegan ice cream in addition to their traditional dairy flavors. My friend ordered the vegan Rocky Road, and I got one of their vegan chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream bars. I tried a few bites of the Rocky Road and thought it was creamy and flavorful. While marshmallows are not usually my favorite ingredient, the vegan ice cream itself was excellent. My ice cream bar was very satisfying, with a thick, crunchy chocolate coating surrounding rich vanilla ice cream. Both the vegan scoop and the ice cream bar were reasonably priced at around $5-$6 each. The shop sits on the corner of Meserole Avenue and Guernsey Street and has a handful of tables both inside and outside. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area. The vegan options were very good, and based on our experience, I would happily return to try more flavors. read more

Can a single scoop of Speculoos chocolate chip truly run you $8 now? Sadly yes, which I don't mind if it's amazing ice cream, but it was not as good as I remember it being back in the day. Also, they were out of cones at like 2 PM, which lol. You're an ice cream store... Between Caffe Panna and Kettl's soft serve, there's no reason to go here anymore. read more

Standard ice cream joint. Portion sizes are pretty good but definitely on the expensive side. Strawberry ice cream flavor was average and it melted kinda quickly. read more

It's a little pricey but very good! My husband loved his coffee ice cream, very strong coffee flavor. I got half cookies and cream, half peppermint chip. Both were very good, but the peppermint particularly so. A lot of places peppermint can taste artificial, but not here. The place is also air conditioned nicely and the staff were very nice, affirmatively offering us free samples to help make up our minds. read more

Great little neighborhood ice cream shop that feels like it belongs in a small town. Love the ambience here and the ice cream is pretty good. Service is friendly too. Prices are not cheap but for the Greenpoint area it's not terrible. read more

Pretty good. They have good flavor options and it's easy to order. We ordered 4 ice cream sundaes online and got them delivered all the way in Queens which was nice. Price not too bad for the sizes and flavors and toppings. read more

Whether it's a hot summer day or a post-dinner dessert affair, there's always a reason to come to Davey's. There is loads of ice cream shops throughout the borough, but for here in Greenpoint, it is the consummate small local ice cream shop with the perfect casual vibes for a quality scoop or three. Ice cream comes in many forms here. While most folks tend to go with scoops over cones / cups, they also sell split scoops and kid sizes, along with pints for take home. They're known for their banana splits, brownie sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, and milkshakes. In addition to the classic flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, they've got a lot of seasonal stuff that changes from time to time. I think their peppermint chip is underrated and the roasted pistachio will always be popular. Fans of nutella will love their chocolate chunk and I think the salted caramel is always worth the consideration. Like all things Brooklyn, the prices are a bit up there. It's nearly $7 for a single scoop and $10 for a double with tax. The pints are practically $12, which is the same price for the ice cream sandwiches. Banana splits are the priciest of all. Thanks foodflation. Service overall has been a winner. The young folks behind the counter are good about making recommendations and will pack on the ice cream enough to make people feel like they're getting their money's worth. If push comes to show and you don't want a melted ice cream mess on your hands, then shoot for a milkshake. read more

Not sure why there's so many negative reviews. It's an ice cream shop in NYC lol it's not a baskin Robbin's. I thought the price to ice cream ratio was fine especially since there's an emphasis on how ice cream is produced in-house and isn't some mass market ice cream store. I got the strawberry ice cream and it was refreshing. I'm giving this place 4 stars because overall it was good, but not the best I've ever had. I've gone to creameries that wow'd me much more and I thought the cone was also okay meanwhile I've seen places make waffle cones in front of you. It's still good ice cream and I do regret not trying other flavors, but while it wasn't overly impressive, it was much better than the reviews have made it out to be. read more

I came here recently and this spot is a real treat. I got the cookies and cream ice cream and my date got the coffee ice cream. It was a lovely experience. My date said it was interesting that I got the cookies and cream and it said a lot about me. She told her sister and all of her friends as well. She said it meant I have a child like wonder. Can someone help me understand if this is a good thing or a bad thing? read more

After having dinner, we decided to figure out what dessert to order. This was a few blocks from where we ate. They have indoor and outdoor seating areas. There is no bathroom for customers, so that's a downfall. The employees are really nice and know their ice cream. They gave us samples and suggested which ones to taste. I really liked the strawberry flavor ice cream and the cookies and creme cookie. I enjoyed the taste of both. I would like to try the sandwiches next time I go back. read more

Listen . Its a simple ice cream shop . No frill, just good customer service and awesome ice cream . I didn't think I would crave ice cream during the colder months but I did last Saturday and he suggested a place that everyone in the neighborhood seems to frequent apparently.

Davey's Ice Cream - Roasted Pistachio (Pint) with toasted coconut topping (delish) - Desserts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cute shop! The decor and atmosphere of the place reminds me of a small-town ice cream parlor. The staff were also very friendly and offered us many samples. They have about 10 flavors on the menu. My favorites are peppermint chip which has a light refreshing taste and speculoos chocolate chip which has a thicker consistency and reminds me of an oatmeal cookie. Both were slightly icy, but still good. read more

Really nice ice cream shop! The ice cream is good, and the location is lovely and quiet! Would recommend.

I passed by for the 10th Year Anniversary as they were giving out free scoops! The line moved very quickly & I was able to get the pistachio, while my daughter tried the cookie dough & husband tried the vanilla! The place itself is very cute, smaller than expected inside but they do have outdoor seating so you can enjoy before the ice cream melts! The only downfall was that when I asked for a puppacino, I was told they only sell pup cups! Thankfully someone behind the counter heard me & was able to provide a cup of whipped cream! We all enjoyed our ice cream and can see myself coming back whenever I'm in Brooklyn! read more

Davey's once served hot chocolate with marshmallows for a reasonable price. Now a small one is $7 and if you want a marshmallow topping it's now $3 extra! I guess the strategy of itemizing everything and charging for it has creeped in everywhere read more

The staff is so sweet and really fun vibe inside!! Lots of seating indoors and outdoors and I appreciate the small menu. I tried a couple flavors and they were all delicious but I settled for the vegan Rocky road which was creamy, smooth, and delicious which is a rarity for vegan ice cream! read more

I got Davey's Ice Cream to-go on a hot summer day. They offer free samples, which is always a plus when it comes to ice cream. I sampled the speculoos chocolate chip and the vegan blueberry crumble. I would recommend the speculoos chocolate chip ice cream to everyone--it had biscoff cookies, a creamy vanilla base, and lots of chocolate. The vegan blueberry crumble ice cream tasted like vegan ice cream: the base was more like a blueberry sorbet (even though the texture was still creamy) with clusters of crumble. This, however, was exactly what I wanted that day, and I was pleased with my order! read more

The ice cream was kinda average for it to be as expensive as it was, it was literally almost $30 for 2 people! Absurd considering cafe panna is around the corner, which is much better and cheaper lol read more

It was a chilly day but I still love to have ice cream on my break. I got a scoop of strong coffee on a cone so nice and yummy. Mostly I have my dog with me when I come to GreenPoint so I don't fet a chance to try their ice cream until now. There are some seats inside and outside if you want to sit there. read more

I wanted to be wowed by it, but my experience was pretty average overall. I got a scoop of strong coffee in a waffle cone. The worker said the waffle cone was from a fresh-off-the-iron batch, but it wasn't as warm and crisp as I imagined it should be. The strong coffee flavor was also good, but nothing to write home about. It tasted pretty much like any other coffee ice cream I've had. For a grand total of $9, it just wasn't worth it in my opinion. They have a cute little area to sit at outside, and a bright multi-colored wall to take cool pics on. The decor made it seem like a very hipster spot, if you're into that! read more

Solid ice cream with several tables for outdoor seating make this a spot I wholeheartedly recommend -- a bit pricey though for the portion size/quality of ice cream which is where I'd say it loses out on a potential fifth star. read more

We stopped by in the evening for some ice cream. They allowed us to sample the flavors. I went with the roasted pistachio flavor, a small scoop. It was delicious but wow, it was really small!!! A single scoop is $6.60 pre-tax and you finish it pretty quickly. I would recommend Davey's for the quality of the ice cream and that everything is homemade, but it is definitely a treat given the price. read more

$10.75 before taxes for a brownie sundae, crazy times. Got more whip cream than ice cream. read more

It's wild that this is the only ice cream shop in the neighborhood! The space itself was nice and spacious with outdoor seating. They have lots of options beyond ice cream, like cookie sandwiches and a small selection of baked goods. The ice cream itself is good. But I wouldn't say it's my favorite of NYCs small batch creameries. All in all a solid neighborhood ice cream shop! read more

The ice cream is very good. They have many flavors. The service is good. The ambience is that of a regular small ice cream shop. The only drawback is the price. It is expensive for even just one small single serving. read more

There was one staff member she was short with a red cap who was incredibly RUDE and it ruined my whole happy ice cream mood. I got a brownie Sunday and the picture did not show whipped cream. So I didn't know there would be a massive tower chunk of whipped cream on top when she handed me my ice cream. I told her I didn't know there would be whipped cream on it and if she can take some off and re put the extra toppings I paid for... because for any additional toppings you need to pay extra. She then snaps at me saying "you should've clarified. Scrape it off your self" and walks away!!! My friend got the same order and his server ASKED him if he wanted whipped cream or not! She did not do the same for me. I just thought that was incredibly rude. It ruined my experience. Thankfully the person at the register just gave me toppings on the side but I had to go and scrape it off myself. I then see her talking about me to the other employees but all the customers around thought she was being out of line as well. I am not one to get upset at servers. I always try to be extra nice but that was just so mean. I hope she sees this and adjusts how she talks to customers. read more

Came to Davey's on a warm day after a lot of walking and a light dinner. Was happy to see a good amount of people outside enjoying ice cream but also not much of a line! Ended up getting a brownie sundae for myself and a kid cone for my partner. Topped my brownie with "vanilla vanilla" ice cream, hot fudge, chocolate sprinkles and although I didn't ask for it they added whipped cream. I'll be upfront and say I did enjoy the dessert as a whole, it's just what I do, but I was disappointed by the proportions of brownie to ice cream to whipped cream. I feel like my partners kiddie scoop had way more ice cream than my brownie Sunday. The brownie was actually delicious and the fudge but it was weird at an ice cream shop. I'll check them out again at some point. The vanilla was good. Pleasant service. read more

Davey's ice cream is always a hit. The owner and staff are passionate about their craft. So many flavors to choose from. You know right away this isn't your regular run-of-the-mill ice cream. Pricing is right where it should be for offering quality ice cream like this in NYC. Thank you Dave and team for all you do. Be back soon. read more

Stumbled on this place since Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory was closed. Homemade, and creamy with creative flavors - the boy and I got salted caramel and Nutella chocolate chip doubles, and enjoyed them in McCarren Park 2 blocks away. Yes, it's more expensive than other places but comparable to other shops that serve homemade goodness - worth every penny. read more

Davey's Ice Cream - Nutella chocolate chip and Salted Caramel - Desserts Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've read great things about Davey's, so I figured I'd come try it myself since I do love ice cream. I first tried a couple flavors but honestly I wasn't a fan of any of the ones I tried and I felt bad trying any more so I decided to go with one I thought would be a safe choice and get peppermint. For $7 the scoop is pretty small I must say, but I was hoping to at least be blown away. Sadly the quality of the ice cream just wasn't able to meet that expectation. It was more icey than creamy in my opinion. I think I'd much rather go to a Van Leeuwen's or maybe even just get a pint of Ben & Jerry's which I think I prefer over this. read more

Really cute ice cream spot a bit off the main streets. Staff was quick and offered multiple samples to taste. The ice cream was super good and creamy but definitely over priced. One single scoop is the price of most pints you can get. I understand they make this in house but I just can't justify the expense so not sure I'd go back read more

I get the Roasted Pistachio regularly at the Moynihan Hall station and it's delicious. It's a treat once a month that makes me happy on my way home from work. The ice cream has a great texture and flavor. The staff is always so welcoming The few reviewers complaining about how the ice cream is too expensive, should go and try and make delicious artisanal ice cream, open up a shop, and pay expensive NYC rent while staying in business. I like supporting the mom and pop shops. The love and care put into the ice cream is well worth it. Don't be a cheapskate, support the local small business. Keep the character of NYC alive. read more

Great ice cream, great service and cool little shop. Chocolate shake is real chocolate and not vanilla ice cream with syrup, which is rare to find these days! Only thing is milkshakes are a bit overpriced at $10.80 for a one size cup and you cannot mix flavors in a shake. read more
