My new favorite ice cream place! Do yourself a favor and check out the rooftop deck, perfect for large groups.
Roof deck + amazing ice cream. Best in BK, IMHO. Get a kiddie size cup if you're not overzealous, portions are huge! Also, if you like chocolate you'll love It Came From Gowanus.
Alec DadismanAugust 13, 2016The monthly ice cream social is a must-do! With music, crafts, pizza, ice cream sundaes and taking a ride on the bicycle that churns the ice cream, you'll have a blast!
TingJuly 30, 2015Fun flavours. For something that packs a punch, go for the coffee liquor and vodka. Don't miss the deck upstairs to enjoy your ice cream.
If you're within a mile of ample hills, it's a sin not to go. It came from Gowanus, honey, and crack caramel are on rotation. Enjoy on the roof deck in an adirondack chair, bliss.
Love them all! But some favs: Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, PB Wins the Cup, Peppermint Patty, Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace. Enjoy on the rooftop during the summer months.
Theresa RoldanAugust 21, 2014Sample as many flavors as you want!! And you can get two flavors in a small cup! Coming from an ice cream aficionado, you can trust me when I say this place is great.
Geez, where to start! Crazy delicious flavours of ice cream, and if you can handle a sundae tower then omg you'll go to heaven and back. Staff are really friendly. Fun place.
Rachel ShifmanMay 29, 2016"It Came From Gowanus" is the BEST chocolate ice cream I have ever had. It was heavenly! The blueberry sorbet is fantastic too
The snap mallow pop is the king of all ice cream. Long lines in the summer but worth the wait. Don't be afraid to go in colder weather for shorter waits.- TrevorOctober 18, 2014Decadent rather than adventurous flavours. Think rich takes on salted caramel and mint chocolate more than experimentation with rosemary or curry. The chunks are the highlight.
Leah LabrecqueSeptember 16, 2015Love this location! Easy to park nearby. The space is designed well for handling crowds and rooftop area is fun. Favorite flavor: iIt Came from Gowanus!
tiff pangOctober 13, 2015Rooftop space is very comfortable. Black & Walt ice cream sandwich wasn't great: hard cookies and messy
Get the ice cream flight: 6 flavors of your choice for only $8. Perfect to share with a few other people. Share it with only one other person and get lots of people staring.
Charlie KaplanJuly 16, 2016If you're inclined to call this the best ice cream in the world, treat yo self.- Friendly staff, unpretentious service and a nice balance of classic flavors and decadent concoctions- reminds me of how Ben & Jerry's was growing up in Vermont. A+!
Priya SubramaniamSeptember 27, 2016Such good ice cream and open late ish into the night if you happen to be hangin at royal palms or pig beach. The flavors are unique and delicious!
Baramee ChindavongAugust 6, 2014Great, but low rooftop area. Amazing ice cream flavors. Don't forget to sample before picking 2.
Make sure to get the Salted Crack Caramel and the Ooey Gooey. Flavors change frequently, so be sure to ask for a taste before buying!
Jacqueline MaMarch 23, 2016I got the ooey gooey butter cake mixed with the strawberries and cream and it was bombdotcom. The employees were also v. v. cool and helpful.
Kevin KeatingAugust 9, 2014The "It Came From Gowanus" flavor is amazing even (especially?) if you can't get past the fact that it's inspired by a poop-filled body of water.
Paige CMay 2, 2016The munchies is so sweet and salty - you won't regret it! Love their cone selection.
Blake ShawAugust 10, 2014I really liked the hilariously named "It came from Gowanus." Chocolate fudge ice cream w/ hazelnut cookies, white chocolate pearls, and orange brownie chunks.
Jack TarAugust 17, 2016Excellent creamy delight. The Chocolate exploded in my mouth for untold hours pick-me-up. Strongly meant for the chocolate lover.
You can’t go wrong, but Ooey Gooey Cake is a classic. Great seasonal flavors too. Grab a spot on the roof!
Cole KennedyApril 27, 2015I'm a sucker for the classic Peppermint Pattie, but I think everything is probably delicious.
Tin KadoicJune 11, 2015After trying the top 5 ice cream parlors in NYC, this one has floated to the top. "Made in Gowanus" is just a creamy, wonderful, chocolate and salty delight.
Michelle WilesSeptember 19, 2016Unique flavors, lots of samples. Pretzel cone wasn't as delicious as I thought it would be.
salted crack caramel and sweet as honey are probably their best classics imo. eat them on the rooftop deck and chill.
Deon DApril 24, 2016Nonna D's and Snap Mallow Pop are my favorites, but there's so much to try and new and returning flavors every season.
Every flavor is unique and delicious, but the salted crack caramel is particularly life changing.
Charlotte ChanOctober 16, 2016They have a lot of crazy tempting flavors but Im actually more impressed with their plain vanilla and chocolate flavor, just about right amount of sweetness.- Check out the rooftop and enjoy your ice cream in an Adirondack chair.
Raymond MannAugust 23, 2014The ice cream is incredible. It's super sweet, and super heavy, but totally worth it.
Nate TAugust 8, 2015This is SOOO good! Possibly the best ice cream I've had in NYC. Caramel crack and peppermint patty ice cream for me, please!
Steve DAugust 7, 2014One of the best. Rich ice cream with delicious mix-ins. Ben & Jerry's on crack!
Colleen McAndrewAugust 6, 2014Sample (all) before you try. They are all good but some of the combinations of flavors may be different than what you're used to.
Grab a seat in an adirondack chair on the roof and enjoy your ice cream. Highly recommend the honey flavor!
Split flavor on a single scoop or get a sundae on ooey gooey cake. Also roof deck!
Eitan LidergotSeptember 1, 2014Much bigger ice cream spot than the original. They also have a roof top patio which is pretty damn cool.
Eli FranceOctober 24, 2015Best ice cream around I love it think that they cannot do any wrong great flavors I give it a 5 out of 5
eric bornemannJuly 19, 2020Salted crack caramel is fantastic. Usually a long line so go early if you can.
Oz LublingOctober 6, 2014Really awesome place for a kid's birthday party. The crew is very professional and super helpful.
Kristina RudicAugust 2, 2016Great ice cream. Flavors are really sweet and have an intense ice cream to mix-ins ratio.
Roger RJune 28, 2016Excellent quality and very creative flavors...Def worth a try! Dark chocolate with coconut is superb!
Gizem KAugust 13, 2014Best ice cream I've had in my life. Caramel and It Came From Gowanus are the best flavors.
Best ice cream ever and the rooftop is the cherry on top!
