such a fun place to visit while walking around prospect park. it's good to know beforehand that they are cash-only. they have such a large selection of ice cream and italian ice that i totally recommend this spot. i've been there a few times, and all their flavors are really good. they have a small seating corner and are only a 10-minute walk from the park. last time i tried the nutella ice cream, which was creamy, and it had a strong flavor and good consistency. i also heard good things about the italian ices i haven't tried them yet, but i'll definitely be back. read more

This is my go-to spot in the neighborhood for a delicious scoop of ice cream, an Italian ice, an ice cream or fruit shake, or a float. I had a vanilla float with root beer, which was creamy and tasty. Please note that this is a cash-only shop. The cashier was friendly and patient while I decided on what to order. The ambiance feels like a picnic with benches and umbrellas. read more

Uncle Louie G - Root beer float - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is an amazing place on the side of prospect to grab some ice cream! It had the vibes of an upstate ice cream shop but in the middle of Brooklyn. Super family and dog friendly and it even says dogs eat for free! Any place with those values deserve a 5 stars for me! It's near this Italian restaurant too so you can order a sandwich with your ice cream if you're coming here as a salty tooth instead of wanting ice cream if you arrive in a group. There's lots of tables and chairs available and there isn't any cover so on rainy days it probably won't work out but it's a super friendly and popular place for families. Often there's children running around and lots of different dogs that visit. The soft serve is good and satisfied my cravings! I can't wait to try their other flavors next. read more

Pleasant service, clean environment. The ice cream, was good. I had the strawberry cheesecake and Cookie Monster ice cream in a waffle cone. Good portion for the price. The strawberry cheesecake was tasty, I wouldn't order the Cookie Monster again, too much blue food coloring. read more

I recently had one of those "I Can't Believe That I Didn't Review This Place" moments when I went to check-I'm during a recent visit. I frequent this particular location throughout the summer months because it's not open all year round. It's about a 30-minute walk through Prospect Park and less than 10-minute car ride for me. Over the years, they have added more tables while becoming more dog friendly; they now offer doggie ice cream. They have also steadily been expanding their menu by adding new flavors and ice cream creations. My first love was Birthday Cake Ice Cream but I occasionally cheat with a Passion Fruit Slushie. I would say that the new flavor on the block Apple Pie Ice Cream has become my second wife. In as much as they have changes with the times, some core things have thankfully remained the same. Everything that I have tried tasted great. The customer service is great; they are very patient and generous with the samples. They maintain their old school ice cream parlor vibe behind the counter. They are still CASH ONLY. Through some cash in your Fanny pack and jog on over to try some creamy ice cream goodness before they close for the year on November 1st. read more

I love this local ice cream spot. There is so many flavors you can choose from and a flavor for everyone even your classics. It is a cash only facility so be mindful to that but I don't mind it love the old school cash only. Anyways back to the ice cream it's this outdoor window booth ordering style. They were very kind and quick I got the cherry vanilla flavor it was so good I love the pieces of cherry every bite was so good on a nice warm fall day. You can sit and enjoy it outside in their outdoor seating are they have plenty or take it to go. They have milkshakes, floats, sandwiches all variety of ice cream options to choose if you don't want just scoops. Anyways great spot, great people, great location and great affordable tasty ice cream read more

Uncle Louie G - Outside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We used to love coming here but not anymore. Here it says they close at 10pm, but when we arrived at 9:08pm, we saw the lady who's usually working there cleaning the tables outside with a rag. We asked if they were open and she said yes but she's closing soon. Ok. We waited a few mins for her to finish and when she did, we asked if she can wash her hands considering she was cleaning with her bare hands and a rag. She insisted that she doesn't touch the cone and my husband asked again if she can wear gloves. Then she said "you don't have to get it". We said nevermind and left. Nasty and rude service. read more

On Tuesday 7/29/2025 I went to store with my daughter to get the milk shake . We feel that the drink is not cold enough and also the weather is extremely bad and hot. . That's why ask the lady to add a couple of ice cubes to the drink. She reluctantly and make an excuses and said that "Anyway we don't have ices here '. Tell me you guys the store is selling ice cream and beverages and yet the lady gave me the dumbest answer .Hey I was not born in yesterday. Wowed me and my daughter are so disappointed with this lady service . read more

Uncle Louie G's Ice Cream & a stroll in Prospect Park! Name a better (family friendly) duo! ... Go ahead. I'll wait. I wish I would have tried here earlier in the summer but maybe it's a good thing I didn't. I would have gone there everyday. The ice cream is that delicious here and I'm not even a fan of sweets. - Tons of delicious selections (Rum & Raisin is amazeballs) - Great quality, price and value - Amazing service - Across the street from Prospect Park What more can you ask for? Definitely one of the best ice cream experiences in Brooklyn. read more

How can you not love the woman who works here. She's kinda like your mom. The other workers all seem to be college students and because of the culture of the place they are all nice and well meaning. The chocolate fudge brownie is delicious. And who can resist a free pup cup for my dog! read more

I love this place! I love Italian ice! It's the perfect place to stop by, especially if you want quality flavors and a wide selection. I love getting the chocolate ice and sea salt caramel ice cream - it's such a great combination. the chocolate ice is very rich, very dark chocolatey, and the subtle bittersweetness of the dark chocolate is a great foil for the sea salt caramel ice cream. covid compliant, cash only, worth commuting to/visiting/going out of your way to enjoy it. read more

Man their menu is so extensive, I was confused what to order so I asked the cashier which ones are his fav flavors. He said the black raspberry and cookies an cream. Since I'm not a big fan of cookies and cream I got the black raspberry and it was great! Rich and creamy! One thing to keep in mind though is that they only take cash! read more

Tried this place last night. This location was definitely a hidden gem. Last night I was very disappointment. While I enjoyed the work staff and the service they provided the ice cream was terrible. It was not as rich and creamy as I remembered. Also parts of the ice cream had freezer burn and the cone was very stale. read more

So much fun to eat here. Lots of ice cream and ice. Dozens of flavors for each. Many vegan ice choices and a few vegan ice cream selections. The staff is very friendly and family-owned. Dog friendly. Bring your puppy for some free ice cream. My favorite ice flavors are pistachio, bubble gum, and cotton candy. They will sell by the pint or quart, too Kosher dairy. Large sitting area. Get some Italian from piccolo next store and wash it down with dessert here. Hit up prospect park across the street. Free street parking. Some times and days are easy some others are hard. We enjoy biking or walking here. They recognize us and our dog. No frills sitting area with plenty of tables. All is outdoors but one area is covered. No indoor dining. Tip them please. read more

Just had the best ice scoops I've ever had. I was on the hunt for a slush during the lush weather and this couldn't have been a better choice. There is a burst of flavor with great consistency. It A hidden gem for the summer! I already can't wait to go back read more

We came to ULG around 3:30pm on a Wednesday. We waiting in line for a few other families to order. Make sure to stand directly under the sign so you can tell between the Italian ice and ice creams! The employee was very nice. He made an egg cream drink and a double chocolate peanut butter milkshake. The egg cream was simple yet delicious, as well as new and exciting(for me at least), and refreshing. The milkshake was soo good. It was the perfect ratio, texture, and creamy ness. read more

SO. GOOD. The vibe, the people, the flavors, the quality: they nail it every time. We love coming here!

Neighborhood ice cream hangout!! It reminds me a lot of this place I used to go in my small hometown in Indiana. Snickers ice cream and peanut butter cookie dough are the jam!! My favorite occurrence was when my friend and I came after hours and they were still open. Three little girls shouted "Thank you Uncle Louie G for your outstanding hours!" I silently agreed! I think during the summer they have later hours. At least open until 9pm. read more

Agree - Uncle Louis G has a great location - right by the entrance to Prospect Park in Windsor Terrace. As other reviewers have mentioned, seating is plentiful. This review is for the Italian Ices -- IMO they are good but not great. I've been obsessed with gelato & Italian ices since I was a kid. My favorite Italian ice spot is located on Staten Island - it's called "Ralph's Famous Italian Ices & Ice Cream." I was hoping to find something like Ralph's in Brooklyn -- it's a long trip to Staten Island. Looks like I will be hopping on the SI ferry this summer. read more

The staff at Uncle Louie G are attentive and guarantee customer satisfaction. Came to Uncle Louie G for dessert after having dinner. Perfect pick , in which they provide outside seating.

Uncle Louie G - After I placed my order, the crowd picked up - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is like the Cheers of ice cream/ices places. It is a neighborhood spot through and through (where sometimes everyone knows your name). Since we've moved to the hood, we'll take strolls around the mini loop in the park. And then stop in to Louie G for some ice. Or we'll just take a stroll with the dog to Louie G without the big walk. It's just one of those places that makes this part of Brooklyn feel like a small town. There's a huge variety of flavors for both ice cream and ices. The biggest problem is narrowing down which flavor you want. I typically get the ices. It doesn't matter which flavor I've had--everything's really smooth. There's no ice chunks or inconsistency. It's far better than the place across the highway when it comes to consistency. Staff is a bunch of HS/college kids. They're nice and will let you sample whatever. It is a bit slow but I think it's because there's often a long line and rarely more than two people behind the counter. Everyone's very friendly, though you're more likely to catch them in a conversation when it's slow (and rightfully so). As everyone's mentioned, there's a ton of seating. You'll see couples and families coming for ice creams and ices. It's also dog-friendly. (Everyone that works there pretty much adores dogs.) And if you're dog is lucky and it's a bit slow, they'll even give your pooch a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. read more

Since I am lactose intolerant, cold & creamy confections have always been a big no-no. Sure, they make those chalky pills, but those effectively kill whatever appetite I had going, so Uncle Louie G's is my answer. Most places that carry italian ice only have four or five flavors. Uncle Louie G has over 30, consistently. Not only that, but the ices here are extremely low in calories. A small is between 50 and 90, a large tops out at 145, and you could get a pint of any flavor and the most it could be is 350. I don't really like to count calories, but that's awesome! After a bunch of hard laps in the park, I love riding over to Uncle Louie G's to cool off and have a little treat that won't negate my workout. I don't know what their secret is, but whatever they do to make these ices, they're doing a great job. I have tried most of the flavors on the board and all of them taste great. However, vanilla chip dip will always be my favorite. read more

Uncle Louie G - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a bad run through Prospect Park (they tell me to stop running when my foot goes numb but do I listen? of course not) and ended up going a 1/2 mile too far around the park* and coming out at a corner I wasn't familiar with. So what do I do? I treat myself to the random Louie G's on the corner. For the most part, I'd expect the law that requires these places to have calorie information on the menu would have put them out of business long ago. Fifteen hundred calories in a large shake? Wow. But the large ices they tell me are only 150 calories at most -- well, hell, I can certainly justify that. So I ordered the chocolate peanut butter and, from what I can tell, Louie G made a deal with the devil. I'm quite convinced there are real chunks of peanut butter cup in there and the ice only really tasted like ice on one bite; for the rest of the time it tasted close enough to ice cream for me. As long as I stick with the ice, this is a great summer cooldown option. * - Those that know me will find this HI-larious. read more

My favorite Icey shop in Brooklyn, so refreshing and yummy. Tons of different flavors, my favorite is the Spumoni, lemon, watermelon and creamsicle. read more

First time visiting this location - as I've visited others - and I will say - I like this one the most because they provide a great seating area (Most of the other locations - you just walk up and there aren't any places to sit) --- - and you're across the street from Prospect Park... can't get any better than that.. Tons of families/strollers...(funny enough...more dads with the kids than moms.....)..wonder if they were supposed to be playing and doing something more active with them?.....and just stopped here instead?...LOL.... Anyhow - same friendly service that I've gotten at other locations. My favourite banana ice cream is my usual... YUM.... Thick... creamy...smooth..... and delicious. That is all! I will be back :) read more

Pumpkin ice cream in a waffle cone on a crisp autumn day, after a less than stellar brunch is a nice supplement to my morning. Reasonably priced, and nice outdoor benches/tables for enjoying your treat. read more

Uncle Louie G made a pact with the devil to achieve non-ice cream confections that taste this good. It is the only explanation for why something that is mostly water and sugar somehow works. You can try all the flavors you want but the best ices are anything peanut related, especially peanut butter cookie dough and Holy Cannoli. The fruit flavors are just too similar to some cheap saccharine sweet thing at a bodega. So skip 'em! I found the ice cream pretty disappointing (blame the ice cream snob in me), but it tasted not at all fresh and the air content was far too high and was reminiscent of Breyer's or another overly sweet air-laced brand. But why would you get ice cream, when this place is famous for it's Italian Ice? Even though this chain is only a few years old (1999, to be exact), it maintains a very authentic Brooklynesque feel. read more

While the pistachio is not a traditional Italian pistachio, it was still good. My cousin got the cappuccino chunk and loved the chocolate covered coffee beans in the ice cream. A great neighborhood spot. Great for a hot summer night after a walk in the park. Definitely going back to try all the flavors! read more

I've only had the ices and ice cream here once or twice; there's usually a long line and it moves very slowly. It's not that the stuff they serve is that good or really unique; they serve average treats in lots of flavors, and the people working there are usually short staffed and aren't in any hurry. I've stood on line a few times and have given up after watching how slow it moves. Would rather just get a froze fruit from a bodega next door..... read more

Ice cream is ice cream. What makes this place great is the location. It's directly across from Prospect Park and they have a lot seating--about 1,000 square feet. I talked the owner when they were setting up for summer this year and he said he's making some improvements such as wood benches in an area covered by an awning (which is great because this spot gets sunny!) and he's adding an area for kids to play. This place is kid city, by the way. Beautiful spot. Fun times. Great ice cream. read more

We had the Italian ice and the ice cream. Holy cow, it was incredible. The better Pecan ice cream was fantastic! So creamy and rich, with no freezer burn. Italian ice was the lime flavor. It was sour and sweet but not so sweet. 100% come here and try. $2.50 for a small. read more
