Melissa Wilfley: Amazing papaya noodle pad thai. Extra spicy.
Serious Eats: The food is just average at this Thai restaurant, but we're fans of the ice cream, in particular the Thai tea flavor.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the Black Sesame Seaweed ice cream. It balances the deeply roasted notes of black sesame with a particularly milky ice cream, while bits of dried seaweed pops with unexpected umami. Read more.
jessica m. hintermeister: it's all about the key lime pie topping! bonus: all organic and whole milk version option for optimal creaminess;)
Time Out New York: Try the Key Lime Pie soft-serve flavor. Dressed up with crumbled graham crackers, it’s good enough to compete with any ice-cream sundae in town. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Serious Eats: Fresh frozen yogurt way, way better than Pinkberry.

Coffee Shop · South Slope · 74 tips and reviews
Trevor Rogers: Best coffee in the area and the staff is super friendly. A little busy in the mornings and on weekends.
Serious Eats: This neighborhoody spot is often as quiet as a library on weekends, as Greenpointers and those vacationing to Brooklyn fill up the seats to quietly exist online...with cappuccinos.
The Corcoran Group: A true coffee bar with minimal seating and a strictly enforced no laptop rule. Perfect made-to-order coffee and rockstar baked goods.

Rachel Z: The Panini's are excellent, the gelato is amazing.
Serious Eats: At the first US outpost of this Italian gelato shop, you'll find excellent gelato in sweet and savory flavors using local, organic produce, plus baked goods and some savory items.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guide: This Italian-originating restaurant, cafe, bakery and gelato shop, with beautiful design and a pretty, peaceful backyard, has landed on Park Slope's 5th Ave. The house roasted espresso is gnarly tho.
