Mint Oreo
Dana L.

Very good ice cream spot on Fulton. You're allowed to try two flavors. They have interesting waffle cone options but I opted for a regular sugar cone.

Chocolate Addiction
Alexis C.

Vibe: 5/10 - they have couple of seats, but it's cramped and you can't see the flavors as you're choosing Service: 10/10 Value: 6/10 Chocolate addiction: 6/10 - I wish there were more chunks in it, and the chocolate flavor wasn't my favorite Overall: 6.75/10 (3.375/5)

Stoney's Dream cup
Zack W.

TLDR- you should try it, it's great ice cream, I just don't see myself being a regular here though. Emack and Bolio's is pretty well renowned for being a quality ice cream parlor, and it honestly lives up to that reputation. There's always a line outside the door, plenty of unique and tasty flavors to try, and very genial service. That being said, this scoop of Stoney's Delight, however creamy it was, really is pushing the limits of "worth ~ $8". It's gone in a blink, and all in all really not that much ice cream.

Chocolate Addiction
Anna D.

Loved this chocolate on chocolate on chocolate option. I had slight hesitation while ordering and decided on that flavor with a cup and the lady behind the counter said along the lines of 'you know she doesn't like ice cream' lmao it's just that I'm lactose intolerant so it's always such a profound decision :') It's such an eclectic shop, and it looks like it has a lot of history and good vibes. There isn't prices anywhere for the ice cream but I think it came out to $13.50 for two scoops for us. You can get 3 different kinds of cones, alone with a bunch of premium cones displayed at the front. There's also a ton of healthy smoothie options about $10-$13 as well!

Passion fruit sorbet
Christine N.

First Impression - this spot is small, like tiny! Standing room only and about 3-4 bar stools worth of seating. We lucked out and it was empty when we arrived... so we stayed inside to beat the heat and enjoy our cold ice cream away from the melting temperatures outside The Noms: I ordered the Raspberry swirl and blueberry crumble which I LOVED! It was the perfect balance of sweet, creamy and tart. The texture provided by the "crumble" really enhanced my scoop! My husband, Sanjay, ordered the passion fruit sorbet. It was light and refreshing. He has a soft spot for passion fruit and will order anything with it as an ingredient. In Conclusion: 10/10 would recommend... we went on a long leisurely stroll through The Met as an impromptu day date and after looking at all the dope art and sculptures, we were seized by a craving for sweets. This spot was perfect. The service was also dope. Really nice staff and they let us take our time trying flavors and settling on our final choice. Will definitely be back soon!

Toasted Smoreo cone
Dallas A.

Emack and Bolio's is my new favorite ice cream spot in Manhattan: they offer a lot of flavor options (some classic flavors and some unique), are reasonably priced ($6.75 for a one-scoop cone), and offer flavored ice cream cones (Oreo, Fruit Loops, Rice Krispes, M&M, chocolate chip, and pretzel to name a few). I got the Toasted Smoreo, which was honestly one of the best flavors of ice cream I've tried from anywhere; Emack and Bolio nailed the combination of vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookies, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Incredible! You know the ice cream is amazing when the wind chill has been at sub-ten-degree temperatures all weekend but you're craving more ice cream after finishing your cone. I'll be back, 100%.

Tiny location that packs a big punch! Delicious homemade ice cream. I try to stop in at least once when I'm in town. So many flavors and so many varieties. It's a great place to stop on the UWS. Service is always good, fast and friendly. Long lines at night, so if you're walking by and and it's empty, go in. Not much space inside, so it's best to grab and go. There is a bench outside if you want to sit. I always try something new and one flavor is better than the other.

I had Emack and Bolio's on my bookmarks for over a year and after a long debate, we decided to hit this place first for our Sunday -Ice cream Day-. I was so excited to have one of their funny looking cones but my excitement didn't last long after entering the business. First, we were being served my this super rude girl and her vibe was just off. I really wanted to walk out but after waiting like 10 to 15 minutes, we decided to stay and have her vibe blocked from getting to us. I think this is one of the main things when walking into a business, first impressions count and that will affect whether the client will come back or not!! Me, for example, won't step back in this location ever again!! Their ice-cream was actually very good!!!!! I had Cookie Monster and the Original Oreo. I really liked them both, a lot!!! Couldn't decide since they're very similar but you have to get them if you're an oreos fan. The cone on the other hand was not what I was expecting... it was so hard and difficult to eat. I recently got braces and didn't think the cone was going to be so hard, the cone literally took the wire out. I guess I was expecting freshly made cones vs their cones, I guess seating there for a while. The three stars are just because their ice cream deserves recognition, it was very good!!! But everything else needs some sort of improvement, specially the customer service skills.

Emack and Bolios has lots of fun flavors of ice cream and ice cream cones! I love their bananas foster and space cake! There is usually a line outside to get in, but it moves pretty quickly.

Emack and Bolio's Upper West Side is the same delicious ice cream as their other locations. I'm a big fan since the first time I visited. There's something about the traditional taste and texture even though there lots of flavor varieties. The essence of old fashioned ice cream comes through. This location is a sure bet if I'm on the Upper West Side during warm weather. Since there's no seating inside I'm going to have to wait until Spring before I return. If you live nearby I suggest you take advantage of any opportunity to bring some home!

Toasted marshmallow and white chocolate Oreo
Rachel L.

WOW. I NEED TO GO BACK IMMEDIATELY. This is some of the best ice cream I've had in a WHILE. It is so creamy, fresh, and extremely tasty. It was fairly busy when we arrived and it's VERY SMALL on the inside. There aren't really areas to sit inside except for a few stools against the wall. Definitely a grab and go. But the ice cream itself is just so incredible it's so worth it. I can't wait to try more flavors because WOW.

Phil H.

Gotta love me some Grasshopper Pie ice cream in a hot day! It's creamy and refreshing. It can also be called mint chip and oreos. In a large waffle cone and it's pretty much heaven to me. This location of the chain is tiny so don't expect to enjoy it at a table here with friends and family. Just a small bench out front that people are always sitting at. Grab and go.

This is a picture of the time next to the time of closure

I came here for ice cream with my friends at 10:01 PM and they CLOSE at 10 but the lights were still on and the workers were just standing there inside not even cleaning just talking and LAUGHING and they looked RIGHT at us and still locked the door we weren't even trying to hang out we just wanted to order and leave like normal customers I don't care if it's one minute or 59 minutes if you close at 10 then CLOSE at 10 not 9:59 not 9:58 and definitely not 10:00 and 30 seconds with a dirty look to go along with it I was literally begging for a scoop and they acted like I asked for the keys to the safe I'm just saying if you're going to work at an ice cream place at least have the basic decency to not ruin someone's summer night over one minute of your life I HIGHLY do not recommend this place if you enjoy joy or sugar or customer service or being treated like a human being another good place to go is Van Leeuwen on 2nd Ave they've served me smiling at 10:05 before and the ice cream doesn't taste like guilt and shame have a great day! Don't come here if you value dessert and dignity! It's a great week to start my own ice cream truck!

Teeny ice cream shop. The staff were nice. My Bananas Foster cone was OK. My brother's brownie haze was weirdly flavored. There's better.

This gelateria I…read morecan't believe it took me so long to discover it. Located in New York, small quiet spot, you can't wait inside, it a take out thing, I don't care! Their gelato is delicious and so rich! I was so happy!

Tiny, clean desert place. No bathrooms for customers…read more Staff are accommodating. Don't be afraid to try to sample the gelatos. Sample them all until you choose the flavor you like. There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

In the mood for gelato so good it ruins all other gelato for you?…read more Amorino Gelato in NYC is easily one of my favs! I was just walking by when they were handing out samples, took one bite, and immediately turned around to buy a full serving. It was THAT good. In fact, I went back the very next day... no regrets. Ambiance is cozy and open. Every scoop felt like a little moment, smooth, rich, and packed with flavor. But let me be clear: the blueberry cheesecake??? Elite. Unmatched. I will absolutely die on that hill. If you're anywhere nearby, stop in. Seriously, you won't be sorry.

Ever since I started visiting New York City every couple of months, I've made it an unofficial…read moretradition to treat myself to dessert at Amorino Gelato. There's just something special about their gelato--especially when topped with that rich pistachio sauce. On a previous visit to their Times Square location, I had one of their more decadent creations: gelato with waffle sticks and pistachio sauce. It was absolutely heavenly and incredibly delicious. This time, I didn't have room for something quite as indulgent, but I still wanted something sweet after dinner at La Basque. The closest Amorino was in Greenwich Village, just a 10-minute walk away. That walk alone is always a treat--Greenwich Village is charming, pedestrian-friendly, and full of outdoor dining and energy, especially on a September Saturday afternoon. I grabbed my gelato to-go and chose the amarena and hazelnut flavors, topped with the signature pistachio sauce. They poured the sauce at the bottom of the cup, and it hardened slightly to create a delicious shell underneath the gelato. I enjoyed it while walking through the Village, soaking in the late-summer atmosphere of the city with gelato in hand. Simple, sweet, and exactly what I needed.
