No frills, amazing quality sweet treat location that has quickly become a favorite for out of town friends and family. The flavor options are endless and the ices / ice creams are truly made with love. On my most recent visit, I ordered a rainbow cookie ice and it was PACKED with rainbow cookie mix-ins, and the most addicting flavored ice. The spumoni was a favorite amongst my friends and family, second to the creamsicle. While flavors are amazing, for the price point your portion sizes are on the smaller end - so definitely keep that in mind when ordering. This also is a cash-only establishment, so make sure you are prepared for that! read more

I've been going to Dolly's since I was a kid and now I get to bring my kids :-) it's always yummy. I got a Spumoni Ice and it was delicious. Pistachio is my favorite and you can definitely get a good taste of it. My Son had a Bubblegum ice which was good as usual. My mom and nephew decided to get ice cream instead which was just as amazing. My mom got Butter Pecan and nephew got Cookies and Cream. It was rich and flavorful. Of course I'll be back! read more

Im visiting a friend in NY and told her that I wanted a sweet treat. She pulled up at Dolly's aroud 6:30pm on a Sunday. The place looked pretty popular because there was a line at the walk up window. They have a long list of icees and shorter list of ice cream. I knew that i wanted the the cookie monster ice cream. It had chocolate chip cookies, oreos and cookie dough. Im not a big fan of cookie dough, but I went with the cookie monster anyway on a cone. The ice cream was sooooo good. The cone tasted a little stale to me though. The ice cream made up for it. My only regret was getting one scoop. I should've definitely gotten two scoops. Yummy. My friends got the praline and cream which they also enjoyed. I'd definitely visit again read more

Omg I haven't even eaten any of the quart yet but I've never seen this, they barely filled the container 3/4 of the way full! The cashier was too lazy to scoop it out! Terrible service! Bs. read more

No frills Italian ice stand. Each flavor packs an amazing flavor. Quality is top notch. The owner is super chill and gave great flavor recommendations. No, they don't offer samples or take card. But I wouldn't skip out on Dolly's if you're in the neighborhood. A true gem. read more

Ice are amazing service is fast so many flavored to pick from very neat and friendly open everyday I love this plac

I'm really upset about my experience at this establishment. I was referred by my son's principal, who highly recommended this place. I usually go to Uncle Luigi's for icy's and ice cream, but I decided to give this place a try since it was in the neighborhood. Last week, I visited with my kids, and they wanted to try some samples before buying. The gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to give them some samples, and we ended up making a couple of purchases. Today, we went back, and my son ( who's 6 by the way )asked for a sample again. However, the gentleman behind the counter said no, they don't offer samples. I explained to him that we had been there the week before, and the staff had given us samples , we purchased icys and that's why we are back today , but he still refused. I find it unbelievable that an ice cream shop doesn't offer free samples, especially when there are so many flavors to try. The lack of customer service was disappointing, especially when my kids started crying, and he didn't even budge. Needless to say, I won't be back. I'll stick with Uncle Luigi's, where they appreciate my business and offer great customer service. It's a shame, because to be honest that icys we purchased last week were pretty good and I had considered potentially making large PTA purchases here this summer, as we typically do with Uncle Luigi's . However, given my recent experience, I'll likely stick with Uncle Luigi's, who consistently provides great service and welcomes our business. read more

Possibly the best Italian iced in NYC. The lemon ices had zest. Very refreshing. It's not the easiest place to find, but worth it.

My mother and I both hadn't been since the shop moved and we have been missing out. I used to go all the time with numerous family members and sky blue had always been the best one and it did not disappoint in all the years I've been away. We got the pint's because we wanted just a bit more than a large and while it was more than a bit it was still so yum and delicious. My mom loved the pistachio flavor and said we have to go back any time we pass by. Seems like we're gonna be having Dolly's Ices more from now on read more

Dolly's Ices - Pistachio and Sky Blue ice's in pint form - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Solid no nonsense place. Just a warning this is a cash only establishment, but there is an ATM machine in the deli a few doors down. Also the hours reflected on Yelp are not it's actual hours.... First time I went on a Sunday and they weren't open at all (might be because it was hurricane season). Second time I went, they were closing at 6:30pm, but it was the day before Labor Day so I guess they wanted to leave. Nonetheless I would recommend coming at maybe around 4pm to make sure they're open. A lot of flavors sell out quickly-- coconut is really popular and it was a good icee. For $2.50 for two scoops (small), it seems fair. I finished the icee within ten minutes! You can also buy a medium, or a quart to take back. Their other flavors also seem promising. I also got a vanilla Oreo and it really just tasted like ice cream. I don't know what they do to their icees but they all taste so close to ice cream! Since a lot of flavors may sell out quickly, what is on the official menu is not always available. They will post a piece of paper of all the available flavors left. It is a pretty out of the way place, but if you're in the area and it's a hot summer day, I would recommend stopping by and taking a walk in Marine Park. read more

Majority of the time I go on the weekend around 1pm & the owners' son is there. Very nice person. My husband & I have going to them since they were on Avenue U, then on Avenue T, and now on Ralph Avenue/Avenue M. Smaller than the previous spots but plenty of parking. Sometimes I do get samples when I want to try a different flavor. read more

The best Italian ice in NYC. Local artisanal product made from scratch with real ingredients. You can taste the quality and depth of flavor. Most Italian ice sold elsewhere is made from a pre bought base that has artificial ingredients. Dolly's is the exact opposite read more

BOTTOM LINE: go...now...what are you waiting for? TIP/S: They serve icees, ice cream and milkshakes. There are to-go pint & Quart containers ...WHO: moi and my peeps WHY: because icees taste happy WHAT: (Deets) Malibu Bay Breeze (yep, like the drink) and Mint Chip are always winners and my go-to flavors. The fruit flavors have little bits of fruit inside, adding awesome texture and mouth feel. I do like the strawberry cheesecake and various Oreo flavors. My recommendation? Have one flavor you're familiar with, and experiment with the other...thank me later. WHEN: April though October WHERE: take away, there are typically two 2-seater benches in front of the store front. HOW: car/ bike/ public transportation, bus: B100 BATHROOM: none WIFI: I dunno DRESS CODE: as you like SERVICE: cordial, pretty prompt. Prepare for long lines, but resist being put off by it, it moves pretty quickly read more

Dolly's Ices - The wreath inside the storefront - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Don't recommend based on the service. I LOVE ice cream and willing to spend or pay whatever price for a good scoop. I went to Dollys and was promptly told that they do not offer samples when I asked to try a flavor. The gentleman informed me that he's been in business 31 years and has NEVER given a sample. That seems strange to me. Although a woman in line said that she's gotten samples. I have eaten ice cream all over the WORLD and I've never gotten such cold ( pun intended) treatment. Who denies their potential life long customer a teaspoon taste????. For that reason I won't patronize or recommend this business. How can you be rude and nasty and expect people to spend money. Not friendly, not community based and very rude. No thanx! Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Great ices (the BEST graham cracker ices ever) but kind of upset that I paid for a pint and got less than that.. read more

Dolly's is definitely as good as it gets! The original flavor array will always keep you coming back and trying new things. My favorite ice cream changes every time I visit and try something new. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! One disadvantage is, when you approach the window you cannot help but get his with a heavy tobacco stench from cigarette smoking. I am not sure whose smoking but they shouldn't be doing it in there. read more

Update on 3/23/19 - I literally couldn't wait for Dolly's to re-open after their winter break. It was freezing last night, but I went anyway because I had to try the black cherry cheesecake ices, which a fellow yelper raved about. Holy deliciousness! This flavor is my new obsession. Perfectly mixed into their cheesecake flavored ices were large bing cherries and small pieces of cake! Outrageously delicious! I bought a quart and mixed in pistachio ices, which was insanely great on it's own. I threw some of it in my coffee this morning to make my own affogato! Dolly, her husband and whole family are super friendly! I love you Dolly's! read more

The absolute BEST Italian ices on the planet!!! Always worth the stop...A true Brooklyn gem!

Best ices in nyc. If anyone wants to challenge this please let me know Don't try to say Ralph's I'll laugh in your face read more

The best icee and ice cream in town! The staff are always nice, and it gives you family vibes! Great place.

This was once my favorite ice stand. That all changed today. They recently increased their prices and charge $2.75 for a three scoop cup. It was a rip-off to say the least. 3 scoops meant three tablespoons full. Fine, the ice was good, but it was done after the first mouthful. Avoid at all costs. Dolly, thanks to your price increases and shortened portions you lost yourself a once life-long customer. :) read more

I've been going to Dolly's since I was a little boy when my family visited King's Plaza. During a nostalgia trip last year where I hit King Plaza and the Cookie House there, I decided to look up Dolly's as well. It's sad that they lost their original location to the hurricane, but great to see them staying strong. Actually their new location is even better in a way, being right by Mill Basin Kosher deli (I just missed the pinstripes). The owners who served us that day and other times after were very friendly in an old school Brooklyn way; just know what you're going to order before you bother them. Pretty simple concept, ehh? Seriously, some of the people who wrote reviews here need to get over themselves. Just like the old days, they haven't given us spoons (not sure if they even have them). You just squeeze the wax container of ice to eat it. To me it's part of the charm, but I'm sure not all would feel that way. My girlfriend is addicted to their mango ice. As it's studded with chunks of real mango and has tremendous flavor, I can't blame her. My go-to is the same it's always been: the rainbow ice. With lemon, cherry and blue raspberry, it's a blend of fresh fruit flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. I've also had their rainbow cookie ice (yes, that is a real thing), a raspberry cheesecake ice, and a few other more gourmet ices, all of which were consistently amazing. Prices aren't dirt cheap but they are very fair for a gourmet Italian ice. There's a reason Dolly's is still open, and the reason is the quality of their ices. Whether you keep it simple or go for something more ambitious, Dolly's always delivers. Just like it always did. If you don't like this place, get your taste buds examined. read more

This place is incredible. Every flavor tastes like what its named. Everytime I come here, they never disappoint. When the old guy is at the window order like the soup nazi. Be polite, no tasting, say what you want in what size, pay and step aside. read more

Rude people- Love the ices but for ice it cost quite a lot.

This place is overrated. The staff is rude and the guy serving us was coughing all over the place not even covering his mouth. The prices are high for the amount of ice they give you. I've had better ices at other places where they give you more than they do here. We asked for spoons for our ices and the server got an attitude about it... how else would you eat the ice? First time here and I will not be returning. read more

This is SOooOoooooo good that I have gestational diabetes and I got myself two pints.

So my friend tells me she found the best Italian Ices . I drive down and i pretty much passed this place because it's like in the middle of nowhere. So i ordered a coconut ice and it was like the guy just opened a coconut and made that ice right there on the spot. thats how good it was. Awesomeness all around. Try it !! read more

This place is the absolute best! If you get the chance you have to stop you will not regret it

Best Ices/Ice cream the service is amazing and the owner Dolly is the nicest person. Would definitely recommend stopping in a Dollys!!

Dolly's is a small shop that makes homemade Icces and Icecream. They have tons of unique flavors. It's always a head scratcher on which flavor to try next and they are all good. The service is okay. They are not overly friendly but I guess friendly enough. This places is popular in the neighborhood. When the weather gets nice everyone comes out to get one their frozen treats. Its a storefront setup where you go up to the window and order then walk away. There is a bench on the sidewalk but other than that there is no seating available. read more

Anyone who even DREAMS there are better ices on planet Earth better wake up and apologize! The taste, the texture, the flavors... Dolly's IS Ices!!! Creamy like ice cream but refreshing and light. Nothing else even comes close. Peanut Butter flavor is amazing, also snickers, (Choc. choc. oreo is my personal favorite). SR read more

The Queen Of Ices Nobody beats Dolly's They are simply the best ices So many choices read more

I've been coming here since thier last location. Thier icees are SO GOOD but so damn PRICEY! I didn't know luxury Italian ices were a thing ! And the scoops are small too but I still go and spend my hard earned cash on a quart every time I have a craving . And I really hate that you can't sample. I get that people would go overboard but how about at least ONE sample per person ?? read more

Just moving to the neighborhood I was excited to see an icee spot. The rainbow ice is my go to but at $3.50 a cup I would expect a bit more. The taste is very blueberry forward and way to sweet. I suggest you head over to the pizzeria on Ralph for a well packed and better priced ice. read more

Dolly's Ices - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've met 2-year-old infants with more patience than the woman taking orders at Dolly's. She was not at all helpful when our group -- first-time visitors to this Mill Basin landmark -- needed a bit of guidance on what to order. Instead, she barked orders to step aside. Prices were high. We ordered a medium ice cream and two medium ices and a shake and it came to $19. The medium size cups were equivalent to the size the street vendors of frozen ices sell for $1.50, so the 300% markup at Dolly's is too steep. OK, the ices were good. Very good -- especially the cannoli flavor. The shake? Not so much. It had the consistency of milk, with zero evidence of ice cream. I don't tolerate rude service and will not be back to Dolly's Ices. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would! I will never come to this place and give my money to these people. I have visited this place a few times because the ices are good. However, as other reviews mentioned, the prize is high for the amount you get. When I came a few times before, the gentleman served me and my daughter ice in a plastic cup. Therefore, I never knew it could be served there in a paper cup that leaks in less than a minute. So, today my daughter and I visited the shop, and the blond lady with huge eyelashes served us. Let me tell you guys, and I have never gotten worse service in my life. Her attitude from the beginning was amazing to me. I ordered large-size ice for my daughter, and she, without asking, gave me the paper cup. First, I always got my ices in plastic cups, so I had no idea I needed to specify it while ordering. I asked the lady for a plastic cup, and she said NO. She said that she could not double cup. So I said I would dump my ice into the other cup. She said, No. OMG!!!! What a chip, chip, chip scumbag! I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. I told her that it was the worse place. She called me a Bitch while I was walking away with my child. This pace, NEVER! read more

Vanilla chip ices with chunks of chocolate in every bite. Nope, Pinkberry ain't got sh*t on this place neither. That's right, stay on the "U" in Brooklyn for the best frozen desserts. This place would get 6 stars for being that much more dangerous to access than Uncle Louie G's down the way. read more

Simple. No other ices compare. The best Nice people and those "in the know"know dollys

I've been trekking here from Prospect Heights since they opened way back when in the Grunge Day and you could still hunt snipe in Mill Basin. This was my under-the-radar lace that only I and the resident paisans and the occasional straying kashrut Jew knew about. But nooooo! I see 26 Yelpers have not only blown the secrecy, they stole my thunder as well. I honestly thought I was going to be First Reviewer. Thanks a bunch, fuckers! Anyway, I like the fact that ice part/base isn't syrup sweet. It's pleasantly, mildly sweet. It doesn't taste like a liquified nickel lollipop. The burgundy cherry, for example, has a nice, light cherry essence while being laced with chocolate chunks infused with the cherry flavor. Plus the bits of candied cherry make a nice perk. Their key lime pie has the right amount of citrus bite mixed with candied lime bits. So do I recommend Dolly's? Try the burgundy cherry and key lime pie flavors and you tell me. And for you diabetics who rationalize, such as myself, you can't beat their sugar-free chocolate or cherry. Uncle Lou who???? read more
