Léna Le RollandFebruary 23They were rated "best ice cream" ? What a joke... I had pieces of plastic in mine (they refunded us but still) and the caramel was disgusting dont put that on your ice cream. Go to Haagen Dazs srsly
Larissa AlvarezSeptember 17, 2017Unique flavor combos. Of the 2 I tried the smore one was super interesting. Excited to go back and try an ice cream flight.
Lala VaraAugust 1, 2017Gorgeous ice cream & homemade cones. Very friendly staff. Excellent service:when one staff member gave us the wrong flavor, another corrected it with no fuss and gave us an extra scoop to boot.
Michael HarrisJuly 24, 2017I'm typically a chocolate guy when it comes to ice cream. The Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (the creamiest vanilla ice cream with hunks of St. Louis-style Ooey Gooey Butter Cake) is STILL one of my faves.
Jay SApril 15, 2017Cookie au lait wasn't available, so we went with the commodore. Perfect blend of sweet and salty!
Emma CramerMarch 3, 2017Get the Mexican hot chocolate ice cream for super rich, creamy chocolate with a bit of a kick.- AmberFebruary 9, 2017Incredible ice cream. Another one of my favorite ice cream places in the world. The flavors are rich and the scoops are large - ordering a double is often a mistake 😂
Justin OrdovezaFebruary 3, 2017This is the original location. If you can't decide get the ice cream flight, 6 flavors(each scoop is about the size of an egg). They have some outdoor seating.
Jeff WeinsteinDecember 27, 2016Yum. Makes a great gift to go in a pint if you want to skip the line.
Emily ScheerNovember 26, 2016No sleep till pumpkin. New seasonal flavor: coffee with pumpkin butter cake.- Excellent ice cream, interesting flavors, it all tastes great, probably the best ice cream I had in NYC.
James StolzOctober 21, 2016YUMMM!! Best Strawberry ever. Carmel crack is delicious too. This place rules!
my favorite ice cream. I love the ooey gooey butter cake and the chocolate anything but you really can't go wrong.
- Zina AlamSeptember 23, 2016The original branch - there's a bigger branch on Nevin's St now with a rooftop alfresco bit - but this branch is great too even if small. Order the salted crack caramel.
Lily GompertsAugust 24, 2016Long lines, but worth it for the delicious deconstructed rice Krispy treat one- William ElbogenAugust 17, 2016I don't get how a place of this caliber can only offer hot fudge by using the microwave!
What makes this place so good (besides the actual ice cream) is how great the staff is: cheerful, generous
The line is always long, but it's well tended and moves quickly. Get The Raw Deal or Chocolate Milk & Cookies if you like chocolate and chunks.
Sue LeeJune 6, 2016There is no better ice cream than Ample Hills. I crave The Munchies on a sugar cone whenever it's remotely warm.
- Erinn SmartJune 3, 2016Best ice cream in the city!! Unique flavors and above average quality. My fave is Nonna Ds...just get a pint of it and call it a day!
