50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Dix Hills

“Everyone who grows up on Long Island knows that Ralph's Ices is a staple. All of the locations are excellent, but this one right here takes it to the next level. Recently renovated, super clean and very efficient.

The staff goes above and beyond offering a seemingly endless array of tastings and flavors (Kudos to Maddy for being the best). The drive-thru is so convenient, they offer ice cream & soft serve as well, and they even have a candy bar! Cannot recommend enough.“

“was awesome, 1st time there“

“Unique and fun experience! Delicious ice cream and friendly workers! Will definitely be back!! Coram location“

“Great spot, total hidden gem. I come in here time to time and their gelato is fantastic. My two favorites are the pistachio and rainbow cookie gelato ?.. they also have a nice selection of pastries / cakes. If you have a sweet tooth the cannoli creme filled lobster tails were amazing as was the rainbow cookie cheese cake! Last but not least they have a wide range of offerings as far as coffee & espresso!“

“If you want a place to go eat with dirty hands this is the one! Bathroom is always closed but there’s an alley not too far away. You can tell management really cares about the customer experience when they keep the bathroom closed from customers. And they even have tables, that alone would be a health department violation(tables without a working bathroom) but who has time to call them anyway? I think the stuff here is delicious but it could also be the flavor from the last customer on the door handle so who knows?“

“I figured I would try this place out as they are one of the few places where I can find any coconut flavors. I got a medium cup of ice cream for$6.50 (includes tax). You get 3 scoops. I got coconut, toasted coconut, and chocolate lovers. It was amazing and worth the price which I can't say for other places. I would recommend giving this a try, There is lots of seating and the workers were pleasant.“

“Ana at Bay Shore Coyle's did an amazing job with our birthday cake. She was very thorough and made sure all the details were right and went above and beyond to make us the cake we wanted. Thanks again Ana for all your help and making this birthday memorable.“

“Homemade ice cream!!! Love it“

“Unique and fun experience! Delicious ice cream and friendly workers! Will definitely be back!! Coram location“

“The staff is extremely friendly and understanding of my handicap!

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm a handicapped, plus sized individual and my love handles didn't even graze the doorway! Phenomenal doorway width and my cake for the nursing home party was perfect!“

“If there was an option for ten stars, I'd rate this place ten stars across the board! EVERY time I go to this location in Bay Shore, I'm so impressed on how spotless the whole place is. The one lady & man (he's usually in the back unless a few customers come in) that are always there are so nice. The lady is constantly cleaning up after herself after everything she makes. You can see that they work hard & appreciate the business. They give excellent customer service & I HIGHLY recommend this Carvel!



Parking: Because there are other merchants in the same plaza, parking isn't always so good.“

“As always they went above and beyond making my moms vision come true! When asked what type of wedding cake do I want— 1,000,000% ICE CREAM! Thank you for your beautiful and special touches! ♥️“

“This place is so much fun for kids! Mine love watching the “smoke” cloud pour out, and the ice cream is always fantastic.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is always very sweet with my kids, and they love watching the ice cream be made.“

“Purchased this beautiful unicorn cake yesterday! It’s so freaking cute & was delicious! I tried the strawberry soft serve which was dairy free & made with oat milk. It was ok for what it was. Don’t think I’d purchase that one again. They did have about 4-5 options that were dairy free & cannot wait to try those next! Zhao helped us (as per the receipt) & she was so kind & gave phenomenal service. Very quick too. The store itself was so clean & they had a ton of options as far as cakes go and even the frozen ice cream section. Will definitely come back again & again ?

Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free frozen options & dairy free options for soft serve & regular scoop ice cream.“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“My favorite place in Kings Park! We try and get our ice cream with their black cherry topping as often as possible. It is a challenge since we live in NH.“

“Love the atmosphere- they have fresh ices and ice cream- possibly too many choices - line moves fast . Staff is friendly and efficient. Store is clean . The sell cute merch too

Dietary restrictions: They have non cream ices which my boyfriend loves“

“I’m amazed-really great service. Friendly staff. Even though the place was hopping, these servers really did a fantastic job and kept smiles on their faces. Bravo Friendlys!!“

“I come every Tuesday for the buy one get one free Twisters and first off not only are the ices and ice cream fresh and delicious!! But the staff there is amazing....the owners cousin always helps me and she is fantastic!! Thank you Ralph's of Farmingdale!!“

“Fantastic from beginning to end! Walked in on a busy night, and was quickly greeted with a smile and positivity. The owner (i believe) was there helping her staff tend to the crowd.
I asked about private catering and she was super helpful and provided me with information during the rush as well. Couldn’t recommend it more, love Ben and Jerry’s and this location!“

“First time visiting this place with a variety of flavors and chocolate to delight your palate. apples covered with chocolate pretzels rice crispy everything delicious and I got my ice cream 😋😋 and a cute place and excellent service thank you“

“This is probably my top 2 favorite ice cream place (my other fave is sugar hill creamery). SO MANY FLAVORS!! Amazing sundaes, the staff has always been incredibly kind, they literally warm up a brownie to crumble on the Sunday without asking (not a great example but you get the point), I absolutely love it here.

Vegetarian options: It’s ice cream lol

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids! Lots of options for the adventurous and the picky.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps! The door is not automatic, you have to pull it, but there are no steps and it is easy to order from a wheelchair“

“They are 3 Sisters and A Lovely Brother who I believe all work full time 9-5 elsewhere. The ice cream Is good but they Charge me way way more the The Udall rd west islip or The Howells rd one and they are so stingy it's Kind of sad because I try to support omw there now but quantity needs to change. Clean STORE Is a plus.“

“Great icecream and yogurt“

“Wow! Blown away by service and the tasty gelato- I’ve been on the hunt for over ten years for a gelato even close to what you can get in Europe and this is the best I’ve found!
Dana was so kind especially with my sons. Thanks for a great experience we’ll definitely be back!“

“it's Carvel, nuff said 🙂🍦🍦🍦🙂“

“TCBY Yogurt of East Northport offer both frozen and soft yogurt and ice cream, WE brought he grandkids and they just loved it. The love all the topping choices. The place is small but has a great selection of choices. It has a couple of tables. A good change from all the other ice cream places.“

“We went today for smoothies. The girl behind the counter Belair (not sure if I spelled it correctly) was amazing. She was by herself and today was very hot. There were a lot of customers coming in and she handled every person with a smile and excellent customer service.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Ralphs Italian Ices are always great. It was on the visit bucket list since my kids have never had them. As always the food was great. The staff, not so much. They seemed bothered by us being there, and both seemed to be having a miserable day. In the end, we got what we went for, spent some time as a family, and enjoyed our snack after a very tough day saying goodbye my mother-in-law.“

“Delicious Martinis!! Looking forward to going back for more.“

“Great place“

“Owner is really friendly! I ordered a birthday cake and emailed him a jpg to put on the top (a cartoon image with my kid's name on it). He had great suggestions for the color of the icing to complement the graphic. Easy and smooth transaction, clean business, and the cake came out perfect!“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“The italian ices were delicious as they always are there.
The service was excellent.
It definitely does need more seating and to hide or clean up the garbage area behind the building.
Despite that, especially on these hot days, I definitely recommend this wonderful place for any one of their delicious refreshing treats.“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“The Gelato was delicious! Everyone loved it. Thank you Charlie!!“

“Good location both for driving and walking. There's enough parking in the back and on street that it shouldn't be an issue.The ices are what you'd expect from any Ralphs.The service was good although when I went there was only one girl working but luckily it wasn't busy.“

“I just went yesterday and WOW!! The “Drunken Goat” was phenomenal and the staff was even better. Lily our server outdid herself with her great recommendations and lovely smile. This place is a HIT. I recommend it heavily and ask for Lily!“

“Nice place that needs a lot of improvement in food preparation, cocktails, etc. Everything was just OK, nothing to write home about. An example is serving the burrata ice cold. Huge portions provided a lot of take home! Service was very good. Nothing really special enough to make us want to return.“

“Would be a 5 but there are no public bathrooms which seems sketchy to me because I thought all dine in establishmentts (they had seating prior to COVID) had to provide bathrooms. Prices compared to portions is insane but that's just the times we live in.“

“We visited Northport on a weekday in April, after visiting the Tulip farm not too far. We were looking for a fast-casual place to eat with the kids, 2 of them vegetarian. We couldn't find anything attractive until we reached the end of the commercial street, at Martoni. We ordered a few panini sandwiches, they were huge, and tasted great! Staff were very friendly too.

Vegetarian options: The menu is attached. We had great vegetarian cheese panini and a vegetarian ravioli.

Parking: On a weekday in Aprill parking wasn't a big problem on a windy afternoon. The parking lot was for free.“
