    Still old school Italian ice even though the neighborhood isn't Italian. Great to see people come from far. The fresh fruit makes it 10/10 good

    Lots of flavors

    You have to support a decades old family run business...it's lasted this long for a reason! Delicious flavors, great texture, and efficient (note: not the most friendly) service makes this a true NY gem.

    A little gem in the heart of Corona. This place offers a variety of icee. They are freshly homemade and reasonable pricing. They offer several sizes. I can tell you I tried the peanut butter icee. This is one that I was hesitant on trying because well the sound of it was not appetizing. I decided to try it and I can say this is my favorite! It has peanut butter chunks in it. Pineapple and mango are also good.

    Hit the spot. My sons been wanting to come here for months. We finally came today. The owners were so nice and friendly.

    I have been coming here since I was a child and now I able to bring my own child to enjoy an italian ice here. There is usually a long line but I got lucky and only had to wait a couple of minutes. Be aware that they only take cash (not convenient). The prices have obviously risen since I have been coming here; a small ice will run you for $4 and a super size $6. Despite that, the flavors are just amazing. My go to favorite has always been coconut. The taste is not overpowering and it is very refreshing on a hot summer day. I also really enjoy their lemon flavor. This spot is definitely worth trying.

    I can't say much about this spot that hasn't already been said. It's f'n good. We did two rounds of flavors each (smalls) because we really just wanna try it out. There's something a bit magical about the smooth, icy-ness of it all. I had no idea Italian ice could or should be this good. The young cashier that served us was super sweet and prompt; he also didn't make us feel weird about getting two rounds =) Grab a cup or two and just chill outside of this place and enjoy while the world passes by.

    Corona queens classic. What's better than a neighborhood Italian ice on a hot summer day? Great family service, this place is a community stable. Parking is hard to come by but don't be an afraid to do like the locals and double it up! Many flavors and a couple sugar free ones too . Had the lemon lime and strawberry banana. Both absolutely delicious.

    Sm. Lemon, sm. Blueberry, med Pistachio all for $10

    Heard about this place many years ago as a kid and always wanted to go. Well we finally went. It was nice to see a line outside because it increased my anticipation. Guy behind counter was nice. Ices were flavorful. For $10 we got sm. Lemon, sm. Blueberry and med. Pistachio. Worth the trip to this famous little spot.

    Bogati - Fresh fruit ice cream with cheese

    I'm so happy this is in queens!!! I only get to eat this in Ecuador and now it's here!…read more Pros: The ice cream was delicious. I usually try Ecuadorian places with my mom (who is pretty picky with Ecuadorian food). She had the peach cup. In her opinion it was more peaches than ice cream, she's not going to order it again . Despite that, she did enjoy it. The coconut ice cream she ordered complemented the peaches nicely and she enjoyed the whipped cream with the cheese topping. I ordered the Bogati cup and we both enjoyed it a lot! It had the perfect ice cream, whipped cream, cheese ratio. The space is small but well decorated. Cons: This place is really popular and there's only a staff of three. The line was out the door!! The wait was long to place the order and to get our ice cream. There are only about 6 tables and the space is cramped with the line. When the ice cream is ready a staff member calls out your name and hand delivers your order. (Whether you're in the store or waiting outside) I don't know that the staff was prepared for how popular this place would be. Hopefully they figure out how to make things more efficient. Despite all that, I'm definitely coming back.

It's very unique, having ice cream with cheese sounds very weird and not tasty but it really is. I got the passion fruit Bogati in a cup and it was delicious!! I think everyone should have a taste of it before they knock it. Totally worth it.

Then add a cake cone to that for ultimate Mister Softee nostalgia. Where else can you get dairy free soft serve that tastes so much like the real thing?
