really cool place to go to for some ice cream and shaved ice! it was really good and was good

I went to try the Thai place and parked in front of an Italian ice store and said I'll try it on the way back. When I walked in and saw the name I was like wow, I wonder if this is the same place that used to come to my job in a truck. Well I was SO IMPRESSED with this place! The flavors are AMAZING and actually better than the ones on the truck if it's the same group. I went with margarita and mango scoops and the second was a rainbow cookie and coconut. Well on my drive home I couldn't wait since I hadn't had anything all day. This was UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I was like OMG I want more. I had to stop myself or I would have ate both before I got home It's right around the corner from the main road just near the train track so you could miss it I suggest make the effort to GO HERE over The "OTHER PLACE". read more

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

A rough surf and no sightings of hunky lifeguards convinced me it was better to eschew risking life and limb and not venture further than my ankles into the waters of Rockaway beach to cool off. We decided a visit to this ice cream parlor was a far better way to get revived from heat prostration. This charming shop serves frozen desserts with a dose of saucy humor. It's in the funny bathroom signs, the funny outdoor signage and in little touches in the decor. Surprisingly clean for a place that gets good beach traffic, this rather spacious location of the chain whips out excellent ices. Frosty, and intensely flavored, their ices provided just the jolt we needed to jump start us out of our heat induced languor. Two scoops for $3 gets you a good portion of Italian ice. We had the mango and watermelon in one cup and the chocolate and passion fruit in another. All four flavors tasted fantastic. They have the best chocolate ice I have had so far. Uncle Louie G has so many flavors in both ice cream and ices, you could try a different one a day and I not have tried them all after a month. There are tables and a long, padded bench for customers to enjoy their ices and ice cream in A.C. The gentleman who served us was one of the happiest workers I've ever seen in an ice cream shop, as he sported a huge smile for each customer. Maybe he understood the key to happiness during a heat wave was to be surrounded by frozen, sweet treats. Maybe he just liked helping to reanimate wilted people! read more

Uncle Louie G, pronounced by many as Uncle Luigi, however you are called, you still make some delicious ices. I have been here on two occasions and place is roomy, and you can stay and enjoy or take it with you to go. This time I took it to go. I opted for a two scoop of ice that only cost me $3.00 and tax. Very affordable and you get a good size product. I originally had wanted a Rocapulco, but they did not have any soft serve. What's an ice/ice cream place without the soft serve? The Rocapulco is supposed to have soft serve, ice, then another layer of soft serve with your choice of flavored ice for $5.50. Well, that was the only reason I couldn't give it a 5 stars. Staff are friendly and nice, they also sell cookies in the back and some other pastry items. They seem to have more combinations and varieties then other Louie Gs. They are also very patriotic here at the Far Rockaways and supportive of our local FDNY and NYPD. Nice to see and are well represented at Louie G with flavored ice such as FDNY Cherry and NYPD Blue. Yeah! read more

Waited for more than 10 minutes without being approached or spoken to. Never in my life have I ever felt so disrespected and ignored as a customer. I've been to other locations without a problem - stand in line and you get serviced. At this location I didn't even get a hello but others were serviced all around me -I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

Cozy neighborhood spot with awesome ice cream and ices. Its a chain establishment but privately owned which gave it that feel. We had the peanut butter cookie dough and cherry vanilla in a cup. Delicious! read more

HAPPY LOYAL CUSTOMER. They asked where I wanted my hot fudge, on top or below the ice cream. Who does that? Only ANGELS. Delicious. Don't come to Rockaways without stopping here. read more

Had their Italian ice along Rockaway Beach from one of the carts I tried the watermelon, but it tasted very artificial. It was refreshing but nothing spectacular. The server was nice, and I recommend trying the lemon since everyone else seemed to like it! read more

Yummy. So many choice of icees. It's sweet. Literally. From kiwi to margarita flavors. Very delightful. I mean it. And the price maybe a little pricey but for the tastefully cold treat its worth it. The staff were friendly. They took their time with my order and even let me try different flavors. Pretty awesome . Extremely and highly recommended. read more

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

My all time favorite Coconut Italian Ices (with cream) is Uncle Louie G. So thrilled to find them near Rockaway Beach since they're closed in Westfield NJ. I wish they would sell these italian ices in more locations since it is just amazing and better than any ice cream in my opinion on hot NY sunny days. read more

Uncle Louie G's is awesome wherever you go, but this kid working the counter at this place was super friendly and sweet. He gave us samples, didn't rush us, lined my cup with hot fudge (!!!!!!!!) and put the whipped cream as high as the Chrysler Building. Tip these teenagers a buck, friendly customer service from 17 year olds is dime-a-dozen. read more

I came here on the way back to the train from Rockaway beach in search of refreshment, and was wholly and utterly satisfied. The folks here are incredibly friendly, with a wide variety of water ice and cream ice. The Belgian waffle Sunday is fantastic! read more

Came here for the first time yesterday. They have tons of choices which is awesome. The service was great and it's so cute and cozy inside. I had the cappuccino chunk and my husband had the cherry and lemon ice. It was sooooo good! Will be going back. read more

Great spot by Rockaway Beach for a cold treat. The bonus is that it's close to the bus stop! Stopped in yesterday on July 4th and the service is fantastic! Italian ice is a favorite of mine because ice cream gets too heavy. It was a tough decision because there were so many flavors to choose from. I opted for the large size, which comes with 3 scoops. But the woman working was nice enough to give me half/half for my third scoop. I had watermelon, passionfruit, Hawaiian pineapple and margarita. Definitely pass on the watermelon because it tastes pretty artificial. But in ranking for the other flavors: I liked margarita best, then passionfruit for the tartness and then the Hawaiian pineapple. They are also delicious together if you do a bite of each together. read more

My boyfriend & I just moved to Rockaway and wandered into this place last night. The owner, Mara, was working and was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. She welcomed us to the neighborhood, told us all the local spots to check out, let us taste so many types of ice cream & icees before we finally settled on a cherry/watermelon combo that was great. Can't wait to come back and try the bazillion flavors & cookies they have! read more
