    Great, fast service through the window. I tried a small scoop of cheesecake ice cream and it was delicious. It was smooth and delicious. No unnecessary graham cracker pieces or anything dumb. Just a simple ice cream with real cheesecake flavor. I appreciate that there's a smaller size that anyone can get, not just kids.

    This is my go to summer dessert place in Gowanus. They have an extensive dessert menu from ices to ice cream and shakes. I always get the cherry ices: love the bits of cherries mixed in and after a hot day nothing is as refreshing as a cold shaved ice. However, after my lobster roll soirée at Luke's I was in the mood for something decadently sweet( I've had this sweet craving since earlier in the day at Rockaway Beach) After scanning the menu I spotted the Shake menu and went for the Blackout: a delicious concoction of vanilla ice cream, chocolate brownie pieces topped with whipped cream and a cherry( I told them to hold off on the whip as if that would make it less fattening) My first sip was heavenly;just the right balance of vanilla and chocolate. The service is always fast and friendly. Uncle Louie is definitely the sweet spot for the Summer!

    Cute little icie and ice cream spot in the neighborhood. If you check in on Yelp and show them the check in they will give you a discount. They have an order counter outside so you can order from either inside or outside. Ordering outside is nice since you can skip the trip indoors. They have so many different icie flavors so it is refreshing to try different ones here that are different from the icie carts on the street. If you want to taste something, they will let you have a small sample of it. The prices are definitely higher than the street icie carts but the quality and flavors are better. The air conditioning inside is not that strong so it may not be a good place to escape a very hot day.

    You'd think I'd learn not to wolf down ice cream like an animal to prevent brain freeze, but I didn't and especially after suffering through the heat at Bonnie's Grill, this too seemed like brilliant idea #2. Only three things can appease me from the heat: 1) an open fire hydrant 2) beer 3) spumoni Being I already did 1 & 2, option 3 looked pretty awesome. Scooping my large spumoni, I thought things couldn't get any better! But then my friend stood next to me with the sundae that could possibly cure blindness or cause it - a brownie with cookie dough ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles (yeah I felt totally radical), and chocolate ice cream buried below. $5 worth that couldn't be finished one man alone; so I sure as hell flipping helped! I'd totally go again to watch the poor guy behind the counter struggle with spraying the whipped cream. Guy: I'm shaking it really hard and nothing's coming out guys! Girl: C'mon you can shake it harder than that! If not, grab a new one. Guy: Guys I can't! I think you're tricking me you guys! Guy #2: I never had a problem! Take this convo out of context and it's like an old script from a Porno. You're spumoni makes me go mmmmmmmm.

    Tip was taken out of my credit card.  I left a cash tip this vist.  Also I never signed, who signed this receipt?

    Credit card customers beware! I visited this location twice in the past month. Both times I paid with my credit card, and both times my credit card was charged more than the sale amount. I always tip in cash, and I wasn't offered a receipt. It's not worth the effort to contact the bank for $4, but I think this is a very shady business practice. I called uncle Louie's once I realized, but they were unable (or unwilling) to help

    I came here with my daughter on a very hot day. It's a simple ice cream shop that also has a window you can order from. They have so many ice cream flavors and Italian ice flavors. They did only have one person working the day I went. But he was moving pretty quickly so no complaints. They also do offer toppings like sprinkles, gummy bears, etc. For those who prefer soft serve they have vanilla or the chocolate/vanilla swirl. I would definitely return to try a different flavor.

    They Scream for Ice Cream & Uncle Louie Showed up. If you're walking down 5th Ave and you have kids with you shield their eyes from the huge line or you'll end up buying a scoop or two. I'm going to have to return and update my review for their ice cream. The kids outside told me that the Mango ice was the best.. I've had amazing ices before and it was good but no where near the stuff I had at a little spot in Chicago. I prefer Gino's Italian ice. Uncle Louie's was smooth, and the flavor was good, but it seemed a little icy and needed more syrup/flavor. Date Rating: 1 Pick up Scale: 1 Strong Suggestion: try an ice cream everyone else seems to rave about the waffle sandwich.

They also carry a lot of different candies and snacks that you probably can't find anywhere else. They had German Haribo, and I bought the yogurt flavor -- it was really good! We ended up purchasing a bunch of random new things we've never seen before, like Yoohoo chocolate and Sriracha chocolate. I actually liked the Yoohoo one a lot, probably one of my favorites. The Sriracha chocolate does have a spicy kick, but just a little. I'd suggest getting a less dark chocolate version if you can't really handle the bitterness of 70% dark chocolate. It is pretty pricey here, but honestly I understand why since they carry a lot of imported and unique stuff. Also, their tote bag is super cheap -- I think just a few cents more and you can get one. Definitely worth buying since you also get a cute souvenir for your trip.

It's more than an amazing store with an incredible selection of candy, It's charming, friendly and has a magical quality. Eugene is so friendly, ready to help with a smile and made me feel welcome. It was so hard to choose, I wanted everything. Eugene's has his very own candy creations (now my mouth is watering). "Freaks" are Eugene's version of Nerd's but so much better! He makes them in several flavors, and they are amazing! Who knew I would like chocolate covered cornflakes? I am a chocolate lover but I would never have thought of this combo. They are melt in your mouth while, being crispy at the same time. There is a large selection of gummies in so many varieties and flavors. I felt like I went back in time with many childhood candies that I haven't seen in years. I didn't know that candy waxed lips, fangs and mustaches still existed. I totally had to buy my dad Mary Jane's, such a classic candy. I most definitely will be back. Thank you Eugene!

    The Freaks (Eugene's homemade version of Nerds) are a must try. The citrus flavors (grapefruit,…read moreorange, lemon, and lime) are flavored with essential oils and the grapefruit ones taste like a super packed version of my favorite grapefruit gummies. They're bigger and crunchier than the original Nerds, honestly better in every way. After my first trip, I was back within the week for more. For chocolate lovers, there are a plethora of chocolate covered candies and cereals. My go to are the matcha white chocolate covered Frosted Flakes.

She charged two dollars for each regular sized strawberry and three dollars for each large strawberrry (these are VERY large -- the type Shaquile O'Neil eats). This price is very reasonable compared to other candy shops. The lady in the store wrapped them up very nicely, and told me how to store them so they'd be nice for the wife. On my second visit to the store, my sister and I went shopping for Purim food baskets, or "mishloach manos." Again, the ladys eho worked there were very cordial. We end up buying three baskets, one dried fruit ($26) and two food baskets ($18.99). See my pictures for how they looked. The baskets were nicely wrapped and I couldn't of been happier. In and out quickly. Parking situation is terrible, especially right before holidays (and on Friday). Look for parking on McDonald Avenue if you're desperate.

I was there at the store back in spring and I asked about one of the candy boxes because I never learned hebrew and had no idea from the picture because it looked like actual gemstones. This old hag behind the counter either ignored me or gave me a snippy attitude. When I asked her what it was she went "I dont know. I dont try every candy here." Well you should at least know what you sell, you shmuck. I had to argue with her just to get her to ring me up because she was "busy" hiding herself behind a rack of candy and she had to stop the world to ring me up. There were no other customers really in there. I walked by there yesterday and saw people in there but I didn't even bother. She can kiss my kosher ass. I only wish I did learn hebrew or yiddish as a kid so I coulda chewed her out for being a horrible employee. If you do decide to go into Boropark...dont drive here unless you want to park a week in advance. Either take the B16, the B67, the F to church ave or the D to 50th/55th..which is probably the closest.
