Reese's Pieces Sundae
Matt Z.

What's better than a classic spot. Nostalgia at its best. The turkey stack was great! And oh my I love a Reese's pieces sundae. And they have the best Coke ever.

Visiting family and was driving back to the hotel when we had to do a turn around to come here. Thought they pretty much were all closed... First time ever using the take out window. It was almost 10 PM in the summer and the girl at the counter was polite, and quickly made our items. My husband had a black raspberry Fribble, which he said was very good (He said Graeter's in Ohio and Kentucky' have better black raspberry). I had a Happy Ending Sundae, made with cookies and cream and topped with marshmallow topping, peanut butter topping, and whipped cream and sprinkled with Reese's Pieces ( a throw back to my younger days eating Reese's Pieces sundaes when they first came out and had5 scoops).... I devoured it, it was delicious, but honestly it seemed smaller being shoved in a takeout cup than the metal serving bowl I was used to . 5/5 for pure nostalgia, taste and "ambience" when I checked out the dining room...

Always get the vanilla with peanut butter cup and try one other flavor. The dark chocolate is rich and tasty. Definitely try if you haven't. I go whenever in the area, it's far for me.

I would say best for groups 4 or less. They have homemade ice cream both that can be ordered to eat right away or packed in pints to buy and take with you. They also offer doggie ice cream options and lactaid tablets if you need. There was one girl working behind the counter at 6:45 on a Friday which made our experience a bit different than the reviews we read on this place. There were 2 other groups in front of us, and a group of 6 walked in very shortly after us which made the place a bit cramped. We had ample time to make our selections. Once we were helped the girl was very nice and accurate with our order. We paid and went out to the car to eat since there was no seating available. As we opened our containers we noticed that the ice cream was already melted. All of the ice cream looked very soft on top in the cases but we thought it's not hot, no way all that ice cream could be that soft. We unfortunately were wrong. The flavor of the ice cream was great and the "chunk" to ice cream ratio is much higher than most other ice cream places which was really nice. We would try it again in the future to see if we can sample some of the interesting flavors they have and to see if maybe at a different time of year the ice cream is not soft and soupy in minutes. (Video included) It's nice to see a small business ice cream shop, we just wish the ice cream was less melted and we were able to receive the experience that many of the reviews talk about.

I took my niece to Mickey's for an afternoon treat while in NY, and it was an absolute delight!…read moreFrom the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a bright, cheerful atmosphere and a display case packed with tempting options. Whether you're an ice cream enthusiast or just have a sweet tooth, Mickey's has something for everyone: traditional ice cream, cakes, hand made pies, premium pints, non-dairy options, and their famous ice cream sandwiches (yummm). There were so many flavors and treats to choose from that it took us a while to decide! I loved seeing the grab-and-go pints, such a great idea for busy families or for bringing dessert home. Before making my final choice, I sampled the cookie dough ice cream (which was rich and packed with doughy pieces), but I went with a scoop of Java Chunk in a cone with chocolate sprinkles. The flavor was spot on! A perfect blend of coffee and chocolate chips. My niece opted for her all-time favorite, cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles. The look on her face was pure joy. We took our treats outside and enjoyed them in the seating area, which was spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day and making the most of the beautiful weather. My niece told me it was the best day ever when we were enjoying our ice cream, so safe to say this place does it right.

Mickeys ice cream kitchen was omnipotent! All the flavors,…read morehow they mix, how tasty it was! The smell of sweetness hit me as I walked through their doors. The site of ice cream came into my vision as soon as I walked into the shop. How heavenly everything looked! I really didn't know what to choose because everything looked sooooo good and yummy! I was standing in line forever, trying to decide, when my eyes suddenly landed on the most scrumptious, most marvelous, most extraordinary flavor. When this flavor came into my gaze, I almost started jumping with glee. "VANILLA!I" I almost screamed. I felt like I grew wings and flew high into the atmosphere. I couldn't wait to order. When I went up to the nice lady at the counter, I ordered a vanilla soft serve with gummy bears. The wait wasn't too long, which was just magnificent. I got my ice cream and ran to the out outdoor tables. The sun was just about to set so it was the perfect time to be outside. There were picnic tables with fairy lights and gravel, which I just loved. I felt so cozy. But now it was time to eat my ice cream. I opened the lid and took a gargantuan bite. My eyes wide and and my mouth opened very wide in awe. A little scream actually came out of my mouth. It was DELICIOUS!!! I wanted to scream and dance and singand leap onto a table, but I knew I couldn't make a fool out of myself. I felt like I reunited with my dog after eight years, that's how good it tasted. I was so happy I came to Mickey's ice cream kitchen. I started to text all my friends to come to Mickey's and that the place was just wonderful. Overall, I rate Mickey's a 1 million out of 10. I mean, the shop was amazing. All of my dreams have been fulfilled and now, all I can think about was that ice cream. I have to go back soon. I 100% do RECOMMEND.

They don't take reservations. After about 10 minutes my friend and I plus 3 teens (my kids and a friend) were starving and Schnitzels was loud and crowded. We headed a few doors down to Sweet Mama's. Seated immediately. My friend and I shared the steak with penne dinner special and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. My daughter ordered penne with butter off the kids menu. My son got a turkey burger and his friend got a grilled chicken sandwich on a hero instead of a wrap. Now the good -- portions were huge! My son could barely fit his burger in his mouth and it also had a half avocado on it. They didn't skimp. Steak with penne was delicious and so was the Cobb salad. We all shared off each other's plates because everything looked so amazing. Now the bad. My daughter's pasta was elbows, not penne as indicated on the menu. Not a catastrophe but she was looking forward to penne. Then - my son's friend put some ketchup on his plate for his fries. It was ,.. not red but brown. The bottle had an 8/25 expiration. We are in April 2026. We told the server and she said it's because it's the "simply ketchup" with no artificial dyes. She offered him ketchup packets "with fake dyes" but by that point he lost his appetite for fries. We grabbed ketchup from another table, same brand, Heinz Simply. You can see the difference in color. We showed the server and she acted annoyed. I told her we didn't want anyone getting sick on that ketchup and pointed out the expiration date. She rolled her eyes and said "oh I'll just throw it away." She kind of had an attitude and didn't even apologize. So that's why 4 stars. We'd go back but request not to have that server. The food is fantastic but watch your ketchup! If someone put it on a burger it would have been ruined.

Not terrible, but also not memorable…read more Sweet Mama's is a hybrid concept tucked away in the adorable Stony Brook Village. On one end, ice cream. In the middle, restaurant, and towards the back, a bar. Surprisingly at 11am, for a table of four, we waited about 10 mins for a table. We ordered a variety of things, from soup, to bennys and a mimosa flight. The mimosa flight was very cute but mine ended up tasting just like white wine. The real disappointment imo was the Belgian Waffle. Now I know, part of this is my fault, for expecting more than what the description laid out. But for $12 I got one crispy and tender waffle with powdered sugar and that was it. No side of fruit, no home fries, nothing. Everyone else enjoyed their food, which I was happy about! And service was wonderful. But for $12 for one waffle, this place may be a biiiiiiit overpriced for my liking.

To be honest, despite being a Long Islander born and raised, I don't love the "Strong Island"…read moresaying. It doesn't cause me to suddenly have intense feelings of love for where I grew up and the place I live on (not in), but I will say that the saying does make me thing of some pretty tasty dessert. Enter Strong Island Ice Cream and the couple of enjoyable trips my wife and I took here. Located in Nesconset (not too far from my Ronkonkoma abode), Strong Island is nestled into a strip of stores with nothing in the interior that makes it any more desirable than the average ice cream parlor...other than its ice cream. You see their ice cream is all fresh and homemade which you don't get everywhere (despite what you might think). You can tell there's a little bit of love put into most flavors and owner Paul holds this down when you come into order. He's a relatively friendly guy who seems to enjoy what he does. For me, my enjoyment comes from eating the ice cream! My wife and I have taken two trips here a few weeks apart and both times we ordered a couple different flavors in cups to go. When mentioning flavors, it is rather impressive to see the amount of options available. Nothing is overly exotic (you're not gonna find some banana peanut butter cookie dough here), but the choices are still pretty vast. Our first trip, I got two scoops (Nutella and chocolate peanut butter) with hot fudge while my wife did two scoops as well with cookie dough and rainbow cookie being her choices. Out of the four flavors, three were rockin' with Nutella having that hazelnut taste, chocolate PB getting nutty, and rainbow cookie fully delivering the cookie goods. As for cookie dough, it was missing the titled item within its flavor (which my wife hoped there would be plenty of doughy pieces, yet there were not). Second trip, the lady went with Nutella while I switched over to fruity in getting black raspberry which hit the spot in creamy/fruity flavor. Yum. Overall, Strong Island Ice Cream definitely has the power to be a legit dessert spot on the island that it identifies with. Maybe a few flavors aren't perfect, but most will hit the spot and so will your experience here. So whether you're a born and raised Islander or just looking for a scoop of what you scream and I scream and we all scream, Strong Island is worth the after dinner trip.
