Great simple flavors done really well. If you're feeling like mixing it up though, get a molten marble – a scoop of ice cream doused with an espresso shot.
Colleen McAndrewAugust 16, 2014The creamiest ice cream around! Strawberry is my fav so far. Also be careful how much salt you add to you ice cream. A little goes a long way!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Try standard flavors like strawberry, butter pecan, or mint chocolate chip. Specialty options rotate with the seasons, and soft serve is made with Crown Maple Syrup. Read more
My favorite ice cream place! I come for both creative & classic flavors. They also offer sorbets, coffee, pastries, etc. and toys for the kids.
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013We especially like the smooth, creamy strawberry ice cream—which has a touch of tartness—at this Brooklyn mini-chain.
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013'The high butterfat content of the scoops here ensures a super creamy texture, but the flavors stay bright. Our favorite scoop? Probably the strawberry'
ZenFoodsterAugust 3, 2014Okay Strawberry ice cream & blood-orange sorbet. Shop has free wifi & cute & family-friendly space in the back.
Beth HubbuchAugust 28, 2018Great for kids: there’s a play area with toys and books in the back as well as a kid-size scoop.
Awesome ice cream, coffee, & pastries. Kid-friendly play area & diaper changing table in the bathroom. WiFi password "sprinkles"
LukeJune 11, 2017Heavy, creamy texture with some very unique flavors. Go for the bread and roses, if you like rose flavored anything
Gabriella NarvaezAugust 10, 2014Personally love this place better than the shop on Vanderbilt. Ice cream is much more appetizing and not too heavy on the cream.- Village VoiceAugust 1, 2013Try the classic strawberry for a taste so fresh, it's like you're eating strawberries straight from the field.
Kelsey✨August 24, 2018It’s a little bit more expensive than Ample Hills, but still yummy. Try the chocolate sorbet!
Edward TinsleyApril 22, 2018Delicious selection of flavors...service is sloppy. Long, avoidable queues because of inefficient, lackadaisical attitude to operations.
Aja BrandmanMay 4, 2018Matcha ice cream was a nice powerful flavor. The golden milk was delicious but had a slight grainy texture to it.
CompassAugust 12, 2013A pint size scoop shop serving ice cream cupcakes and oversize waffle cones is an ideal post-park stop.
Hayley Thornton-KennedyMay 31, 2012Try the Root Beer Ice Cream - A little runny but great with the help of a cup. Tastes like a light root beer float!
Stand out flavors: pistachio and mexican chocolate. Kid friendly spot with a play area in the back.
has always had good coffee and amazing ice cream but now with long tables, outlets, free wifi.- No chocolate! Call me and my kid basic but find it odd how they are often out of “normal” flavors like chocolate and strawberry.
BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Lidy (Development): I've only gotten the coffee ice cream which is a sweet delicious lunch alternative (yes, you can have ice cream for lunch). They also have a kids corner...
Bagels are from Bergen Bagels and therefore good. Nice people at Blue Marble will toast them and appy peanut butter and honey, which is unheard-of, and even better.
- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Katie (Curatorial): Sea salt brownies and fresh sorbets are amazing. Fresh muffins and baked goods from Blue Sky Bakery (rasberry-zuchinni-dark chocolate muffins--yum!)
Afi Yellow-DukeSeptember 26, 2015the green tea ice cream is seriously powerful… the banana pudding flavor was great!
The muffins are really good. For me, they offer too many combo flavors (mango-strawberry, banana-pineapple, etc... I'd rather just have plain blueberry) but I honestly haven't had a bad one yet.
The ice cream here is amazing! I'm a chocolate person, but I have to say the fruit ice creams are something special. Try strawberry or blackberry!
Joshua LiblingAugust 14, 2014One of the best ice cream spots for pure flavours (vanilla, chocolate,etc).
Audrey TolbertJune 14, 2013Decent ice cream but pretty expensive for very small portions. Do yourself a favor and walk the few more blocks to Ample Hills.
good coffee but AMAZING ice cream. The Root Beer & Coffee flavors are my favorites.
KristineAugust 7, 2011They don't have it often, but PISTACHIO ALL THE WAY & don't forget about the brownies next to the cash register.
It may be an ice cream shop, but you can get the best coffee in the neighborhood here.
Josh NeufeldJune 24, 2015Pretentious, over-priced for the portions you get, and surly service. Try Ample Hills instead.
Best ice cream shop / coffee shop / day care center in the neighborhood
Sarah CampbellJuly 27, 2010This place makes me a fan of strawberry ice cream. Delicious w chocolate and then you're two thirds of the way to neapolitan.- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Elaine (Collections): farm made ice cream, delicious flavors like raspberry, and chocolate chocolate chip!
- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Jillian (Editorial): The ice cream is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it. Like heaven in a cup.
- BrooklynMuseumDecember 11, 2009Staff Pick! Eleanor (Education): My favorite thing to do is to combine all the shop's attributes and get a scoop of vanilla ice cream in ice coffee.
