36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Greenlawn

“Ouch! Not sure if this Carvel is under new management, or if some people just live to throw shade (y'all realize that one star is like getting a 20 on a test, right? Or is that too much math for you?) I will say that I can't comment on their cakes. I do know that when it comes to ice cream cake, not all Carvels are the same, not even close. We've used the Carvel in Plainview for cakes, but if all we want is some ice cream, we hit the Greenlawn Carvel. We've been to this Carvel location more than a few times, and everyone's happy with both the soft-serve, and the "hard" ice cream. I don't really have much else to add, what more can you say about an ice cream shop? 4 out of 5, extra star for being in the same strip mall as Deli 51, who doesn't love Deli 51.“

“Krispy Mango Cafe's ice cream is a delightful blend of creamy texture and vibrant mango flavor. The smooth consistency and balanced sweetness make it a refreshing treat. The generous swirls of real strawberry puree add an authentic touch, creating a satisfying indulgence for ice cream enthusiasts.“

“Stopped here while I was in town for a work function and needed a sweet treat but wanted something that was local. The slightly older lady with brown hair and glasses who was working was super friendly and welcoming. I tried a few different flavors, as I couldn't decide and wow!!.. they were all delicious. I landed on the sea salt caramel flavor as it was fantastic and so creamy. I got a small bowl of that at a good price with great service. Definitely worth the pit stop! Sorry, I forgot to take a photo since I ate the ice cream so quickly!!!“

“An unfortunately overlooked gem right in the middle of deer park. Charming, cozy, and straight up delicious, this cafe has the right stuff to give the cafe chains a run for their money.Immediately upon walking in, my partner and I were greeted warmly, as they insisted we try their award winning gelato. The wide spread of homemade unique flavors made deciding a difficult but happy struggle. The fresh espresso coffee and pastries were simply delightful.Should our stomachs be allowed, we would have eaten everything. We look forward to returning and trying something new.“

“Their ice cream is delicious, and they are very generous with their servings. The staff always has a smile. It like going back in time when familes went to the ice cream store, sat down together and enjoyed their company. We love itParking: It's a busy strip of stores. So off hours are easy. But prime time, it's difficult.“

“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had? Best ice cream I’ve ever had. Flavors and textures were amazing. I had the Matcha Green Tea signature and my wife had a dark chocolate base with peanut butter mixed in. Both were awesome. Can't wait to come back!“

“The best cakes I've ever had in my whole life! I have never ordered a cake blind. I ordered last Tuesday for my daughter's 14th birthday. I searched online for a cake shop near her birthday party location for a convenient pick up. The cupcakes were chocolate with strawberry frosting. I ordered a small heart cake as well. The cake is so fresh and TASTY! OMG! The cake was soft and moist. But the taste! Holy cow! The perfect chocolatey flavor. Not too sweet. It was perfect. I live 45 minutes EAST and I will travel here just for their cakes! So worth it!“

“When you go inside it is just like any other carvel. The ice cream and flavors are the same as any other carvel we have been in, so many options! But the difference is the people behind the counter are always really nice and helpful. I always have a good customer service experience every time I come. Also, they are clean.“

“So glad we went! My wife and I came in thinking we would try the place out for hamburgers. Thanks to our superb waiter (I believe his name is Marty), he told us about the special that they had, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. The chicken sandwich was delicious, and truth be told would have been well worth it at the regular price, but as a special, it was a steal!For an app we decided to split the pretzel. It was quite large, had great dips to go along with it, and came out warm, fresh, and perfect.The chicken sandwich (we both ordered it) was flavorful and moist, and great sauces to accompany it, which we enjoyed with the French fries. We could not finish it all, but that did not stop us from enjoying the milk shakes at the end.I'm so grateful for the waiter telling us about the special, and he was extremely attentive and personable. I can honestly say he treated us as if we were dear friends, and could not have been better.Looking forward to going back and eventually trying the burgers, as they looked fantastic!!“

“Very friendly staff and very very good ice cream highly recommend! I'm new to the Northport area so I'm a little worried of how it's gonna be in the summertime. I've been warned that the line will go out the door, but I'm hoping I can catch them on a day when it's not so busy but regardless, it's worth the wait.“

“This is a hidden gem in Long Island ! A lot of the old folks know this but not the younger people. Love their homemade ice creams and definitely a class apart from the rest. The recipe is a classic and has been preserved since ages. A must visit if you’re craving for icecream in the area.“

“The best Carvel store anywhere. Secret, Soft serve large is BOGO everyday of the week, just ask for it. On most days there are SIX different dift serve flavors. The same Family operated business for years. The young employees working at the counter are always courteous and polite. This place gets packed certain times of the night but the lines move fast. They'll also accommodate your special ice cream cake orders. Hard scoop ice cream is available. Freezer cases always has an assortment of ice cream novelties.“

“Delicious ice cream! The lady who works there is always super friendly and gives quick, accurate service. There are also deal days like buy one sundae get another free on Wednesdays. I personally love the strawberry shortcake sundae dasher.“

“A true gem. One of the best and most authentic panni’s I’ve ever had (I had the Lupo). The owner is a fantastic and attentive guy. Everything on menu sounded great and delicious and makes deciding what to eat difficult (cause you want to try everything).“

“i normally don't leave reviews but they were so so sweet, fantastic customer service and the man who decorated the cake was very efficient and did a beautiful job. unfortunately i wasn't carrying cash on me to leave a tip, they don't take tips on card just a heads up!! so i went back to my car and grabbed whatever i had & went back in. like seriously lovely people thanks guys didn't catch ur names“

We did not feel rushed, the place was so clean, the staff were wonderful and put up our decorations for us! Five stars!“

“This was our first time here, as soon as you walk in you are greeted and welcomed with a warm smile. Shout out to the two young men working this Wednesday night !!!!! They were very professional, very passionate, very friendly & understanding. Great hospitality overall. Will be coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Carvel ice cream cakes bring out the childhood nostalgia in me!I did not spend much time in store but the older gentleman who attended to me was super helpful. He made suggestions for best results before serving and offered to decorate the cake further for us.The cake was as I remembered and I was transported back to my childhood and savoured each mouthful.Carvel has my heart!“

“Best donuts I've had on Long Island. Found them at Citi field and checked out their Huntington location. Friendly staff, fun flavors, great place for Instagram pictures. And they have kids birthday parties. Will definitely be bringing the family back!“

“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.“

“Today I got ice cream that matched a toy plush I had and they gave me free sprinkles and took a picture that might be posted on the site they have. My sister did the same thing-ice cream that matched the plush-strawberry. Mine was Mint Chip. The quality was good, the floor was spiffy(clean) and they were SUPER kind to us. 100/10 love it.“

“Ice cream is delicious. Good variety of flavors- I can get something new everytime I'm here. Their caramel apples are amazing, definitely try them at least once. All the staff here are very nice. They have a Huntington specific flavor which I find so cute!“

“After a night and good eats and drinking I decided I needed sumn a lil sweet so I wanted to get coldstone... my partner convinced me however to try carvel as I've never tried it because I never had one in my home town. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I went ahead and tried the bananas foster sundae dasher oh my gosh was it delicious the sweet caramel and bananas and the perfect vanilla soft serve that was the oh so perfect texture and creaminess it was so creamy that it made me cream a little (a little yuro quirkiness only jokes!). My partner tried the Reese's one and let me tell you he is one boy that absolutely loves his nut! He's now hooked as well he slurped the whole nutty cup up. Since my first time going last week 7/11/23 I've thought about the goodness everyday since and I've had 4 dashers and you best believe I am now a proud member of the fudge fanatics! If you are ever in the mood for something sweet and for a good price come here it's about 6 bucks for a small dasher which is a good price considering the size and amount a small price to pay for being full of cream and satisfied. LOVE LOVE LOVE carvel and I will never let any other sundae fill my tummy again! And a not from my partner- I will never let another nut inside me again unless it's from Carvel Thanks. YM“

“Owner is super friendly as well as his young staff. Place is clean and the freezers are well stocked with cakes, flying saucers etc. I have a Carvel closer to my home, but the people there aren't as nice. I would much rather travel a couple of extra minutes and give this establishment my business.“

“Carvel is the best place to get ice cream cakes for any occasion. They have a variety of flavors and custom designs to suit your taste and style. The cakes are handmade in-shoppe with fresh ingredients and delicious crunchies. I love their Fudgie the Whale and Strawberry Crunchies Cake. Carvel ice cream cakes are a celebration in itself“

“Came here after dinner this place did not disappoint love their selection of flavors. They also have regular ice cream as well. There’s a small coffee machine set up as well if you’d like coffee ample room for large parties to sit definitely recommend for kids and adults as well.“

“My daughter spotted this place and wanted to buy Italian ices. We pulled up and went to the door to find out it was closed, and they had a sign that states they should be open at 12 (guessing due to the holiday). The owner was in his car and told me I saw how excited your daughter was and I couldn't allow myself to not serve her ice cream. He opened the shop and gave her the ice cream she asked for and wouldn't accept the money for it. I thought that was amazing and you barely find business owners that go to that extent now a days. I would like to thank him once again for his kind gesture.“

“The last time I went to an Ice Cream store that provides their own custom flavors was in Carey, North Carolina. This store is located in a small strip mall with ample parking. From what I read; Ice Cream Social has several flavors of ice cream along with vegan flavors. They do have traditional flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, and cookie dough, but they are constantly designing new flavors. I tried many flavors before choosing the pumpkin pie flavor ice cream. But I did also like the apple cider donut and Coco Almond Joy. Next time I will explore other interesting creations. The staff was kind enough to afford me the opportunity to taste many creative flavors. It was not easy to settle on just one flavor. I recall a family member explaining to me what it takes to create these interesting flavors, and he stated it is all in the Cream mix. If you want to enjoy high quality ice cream with many creative flavors, one must indulge in Ice Cream Social.“

“Walk in door no one there except for one worker, no hello, ice cream good, one table very wobbly needs to be fix before someone gets hurt, and do not like store that change 4 percent for a credit card it should be be add in the price already,“

“Our go-to, but recently a new employee (or manager? A woman we hadn't seen before) has been giving the WORST scoop - literally half of what the other employees give, making it a total rip and a disappointing experience. Please correct this ASAP or we'll be finding a new location!“

“This is one of "Best" Ralph's Famous Italian Ice store on Long Island. This location has had a complete makeover. You can now go inside to order or just go thru the drive-thru. There are benches and seating outside. The staff is by far some of the friendliest, especially the 2 boy cousins. Great Job!“

“Great place to eat with your kids. Especially if they're wild and crazy like my kids.Parking: Parking is never an issue. Several parking spaces available.Kid-friendliness: They have fun kid activity books and great food options for kids.“
