40 Best Ice Cream Shops near Valhalla

“Hands down, best ice cream in Westchester/Putnam Counties. All home made. Common favorites as well as innovative flavors. Friendly staff. Wonderful, community driven & supportive owners.Great flavors. My favorite is Coffee Kalua; it's so creamy and just the right amount of Kalua taste with bold, smooth coffee flavor. I will drive miles out of my way between family in Westchester to my home in Putnam, just to get a pint to take home and of course a scoop with hot fudge to sit at the tables on the side walk and enjoy. So dang, good! If you're an ice cream snob like me, you'll love it! Check them out.They also sell some old-fashioned candy in the inside shop and they make dessert Crepes. Faaaabulous!“

“I tried two flavors: the Dominican Vanilla + Coconut. It was AMAZING.The place is clean. Staff is friendly.The two (2) complaints that take away a star:Definitely coming back here, but not as often as I would like, because it’s kinda pricey. $30 for two (2) scoops on a cone; and 2 midsized cups.Employees need to wear restaurant caps to cover their heads when serving; specially while styling long/braided hair. I mean: I don’t want that stuff on my food.Kindly work on those, and I would consider adding the 5th STAR.“

“Some of the best tacos I've had on the East coast. These are on par with California and Texas tacos. Most of the tacos in NYC and NY and terrible, but not Los Ferchos. This is a great family run deli, with the whole family helping to make super authentic tacos in the back. The staff is super friendly, and they even have a couple tables inside and outside for you to enjoy your food. They also make homemade ice pops and they have some very niche authentic Mexican food items too like Oaxaca cheese and Mexican desserts. Easily the best tacos in the Hudson Valley, and maybe NY too.“

“My hometown ice cream shop, amazing quality food and amazing workers. Everyone is very kind and the food is awesome. Even if you aren't in Piermont or from there, I highly recommend going to and trying out some of their ice cream and/or shakes. They both are equally amazing, they too are very quick with their work and it is ALL homemade ice cream and even their waffle cones (which are amazing too.) And yes the prices are a bit high, but that's because the ice cream is homemade.“

“Shoutout to the 2 young ladies behind the counter. A mass of people came to this shop after a comedy show at the Music Hall and they held it down! The Oreo Bomb & Lucky charm ice cream flavors were top notch! Looking forward to coming by as the weather gets warm. 10 out of 10!“

“If you want to enjoy some delicious ice cream?? this place is incredible and Luz's attention is super, she speaks English and Spanish. I also love that they have an area where you can hydrate, I don't know about you but after eating ice cream you are thirsty?“

“The few, the proud,.. Come on, folks! It's Carvel Ice Cream! This location has always been monumental in my life growing up and still today. It would get a biased 5 stars ? on that alone. The ice cream is second to none. Whether soft-serve, traditional, cake, or shake, it's great! Scoops or soft serve in your choice of cones or a bowl, floats, banana splits, a sleeve of flying saucers, and more are there for you to enjoy. They still make the ice cream cakes with the crunches, too. The service is pretty good, and they will allow you to customize your order with toppings, etc. Be mindful and patient of customer surges and the occasional understaffing.The dining space is limited to the two historic, small benches outside the building. Of course, you can sit in your car in the parking lot to indulge in a cool treat. This location in Elmsford is a great stop after shopping locally or passing through regardless of the weather or season. Ice cream is the reason!“

“Amazing staff/service. I loved the atmosphere, it is a fun place to go with some friends, a lot of options to choose from. There isn't even only ice cream! They have many goodies like sodas, candy, and various toppings that are very good! The store was kept very clean as I saw workers constantly keeping up on it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a sweet treat.“

“Quick stop traveling through to Blaze. Parking on street residential area. Ice cream is excellent. Pumpkin cookie good. Service was fine. Small place limited space. Outside more tables. Two scoops of icecream and the cookie and tip $10. Worth it.“

“Delicious and healthy waffles! All sorts of toppings and add-ins are available for these sourdough type waffles, and they do not disappoint! The soup of the day today was beet soup. Delish! One of us had a waffle with chocolate as well, and one of us had frozen yogurt with toasted coconut. All so yummy! Great space, light and simple, great, friendly service! Go for a coffee, go for a meal or a snack! You will be glad you did!“

“Longofords has THE BEST ice cream. I come here all the time with my family (highly reccomend the black raspberry and coconut mounds). They have a flavor for everyone! Staff was so kind and patinet and constantly cleaning-no wonder the place is spotless. I always come here to gets pints/quarts to bring home as well. 10/10!!!!“

“Pink Pink and Pink It's a very cute ice cream shop with a cute girlie atmosphere.We were there for a birthday party. You can have a birthday party in one area or the store. Sprinkle time looked fun. Tried roasted pistachio ice cream with marshmallows. The combination was good, but marshmallow was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I'd get it without next time. It's a bit pricey but it's an experience.“

“I like to order from Crumbl when out or when I have visitors but don't have time to bake. All of the flavors we've tried have been great, and they are ready for pick up or delivery pretty quickly.I would avoid the Lemon Cheesecake flavor though. The cookie and lemon curd taste good but something about the frosting tastes reminiscent of the way a lemon cleaning solution smells. Everything else has been great!“

“FANTASTIC PIZZA. EVEN BETTER SERVICE. I don’t normally write reviews, but these guys absolutely deserve one. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on Pizza Piazza my whole life, I’ve lived in the area for 20+ years, and now I wish I could have those 20 years back. If only there were more spots like this around that truly cared about the quality of their food, and the experience of their customers. The gentlemen behind the counter made me feel like ive been one of their most loyal customers for years. I will be returning to try more items from their menu very soon! Or I might just get more pizza since it was that good!“

“Had one of our few yearly trips to Penny Lick today to treat our peanut allergic son. Ice cream was delicious as always. We got to sample a few flavors before deciding. The gentleman working the counter was amazing as always. He is such a delight and always chats with us. Knows all about the flavors available and helps with deciding what to get. We got to sit and enjoy chatting with him while eating our ice creams, and our son even get seconds after deciding he'd like to try a milkshake- something he doesn't get to do often due to his severe peanut allergy. We are so thankful for peanut free stores such as this, where our son can be comfortable and have a moment of normalcy. If we didn't like 1.5 hrs away, we would visit at least weekly. We normally bring a cooler with ice and ice packs to take pints home, but today we did not have that with us. Love their take home pints!! Will be back soon!! Thank you so much!!Dietary restrictions: Peanut free as well as other allergens.Kid-friendliness: Fun store with cool signs on the walls and in bathrooms. Lots of fun toppings for your treats!!“

“Delicious pizza! Cheesy, fresh and good crust. Love the different salads and wraps they offer too. Excellent fast service. Ordering on the Slice app makes ordering easy. Will definitely be a returning customer.Vegetarian options: Whole menu“

“Nostalgic soft serve ice cream shop serving classic sundaes. They still have Wednesday buy one get one free sundaes. Takeout only, no indoor seating. A great place for grab and go dessert after a meal. There's always room for a Carvel sundae! <3“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

“Saw the cake box in a friend's fridge and Googled it and was curious to check it out myself. Was not disappointed, I went on a Wednesday and look forward to going back next time on the weekend when I'm assuming there will be more choices.Go see for yourself it is worth a trip and then go back.“

“What a fun place for ice cream! Whether it be the 2 "Cowches " outside, the unmistakable paint job or the friendly (sorry for the choice of words) staff Ben & Jerry's in Mount Kisco is a winner. Both my grand daughters and I loved it.“

“Outstanding! The cutest pizza and ice-cream place I’ve ever been to. The food was amazing and the staff went so far out of their way to help us celebrate my son’s birthday! Highly recommend showing your support and checking it out!! 10/10!!“

“We went for the first time, was a bit taken back with some pricing . We met the owner , he asked what was wrong , absolutely accommodating and concerned, checked it out and was a good guy . We wish him all the best and will be back ! Thanks for the great ice cream too!“

“This place is top tier. Hands down the best paletas I've ever had anywhere in the USA. The prices are great and their milk flavors are my absolute favorite. You can't go wrong with the cookies and cream flavor if you're new here but coconut and passion fruit are probably my favorites. The place isn't fancy by any means but don't let that stop you from stepping in. They have lots of flavors and a bunch of Mexican "street food" style snacks.“

“Super cute and colorful, definitely eye catching shop with honestly delicious baked goods! We didn't get any candy this time but we tried cupcakes, bars, and chocolates. Everything is about $6 a piece on average and definitely worth it! The cookies for me would be the reason to go back. Holy canoli theyre huge and soft and so so tasty.“

“We got the gelato in chocolate & tiramisu flavors, mango smoothie, & chocolate-covered strawberries. All were fantastic! The gelato flavor & texture was perfect; the chocolate flavor had small dark chocolate chips mixed in. The smoothie was sweet without being too sweet. They use good quality ripe strawberries. Can’t recommend highly enough that everyone come out and support this great new small business.“

“Awesome spot!!! The best froyo around. Staff is so friendly and helpful. They let you try any flavor and are great at recommending different menu items based on what you like. Great outdoor seating area with a ton of parking and space for kids. The store is also SPOTLESS every time I go in you can tell this place is well taken care of. 10/10!!!!“

“UPDATE 01/27/23: Looks like they finally got their act together. Clean and well stocked. Thanks!UPDATE 11/16/22: We just went because the website said they had sugar free strawberry. We went. Guess what? They haven’t updated the website in months, don’t plan to and they have no sugar free options.PLEASE SELL THIS LOCATION BACK TO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. THEY HAD THE STORE RUNNING BEAUTIFUL. YOU GUYS ARE WRECKING IT.This place used to be incredible until they were sold to new owners that have very little idea how to run a 16 Handles. We just wasted a good 45 minutes running around picking people up, only to find out that there was no sugar-free yogurt which every 16 Handles has at least one of. There are certain standards that 16 Handles has in their franchise agreement and these guys are clueless. Please sell the store back to the old owners and restore the great frozen yogurt experience that used to be here. The one extra star is here because the one guy behind the counter is genuinely nice.“

“Where do you go when your team wins their Sat game? For ICe Cream or Frozen Yougart!This cute shop was suggested to us by a teammate and the Frozen yougart was delicious. He had a cup of Cookies & cream and Coffee for mom. Service was fantastic and everything was explained from the menu to the self serve machines.“

“The store's owner Stephanie was amazing! They are located at 287 Halstead in Harrison (near the Harrison train station). I traveled much further to this location because she helped me with my daughter's engagement order. We did an ice cream customized cake with pictures and in addition ordered 48 ice cream sandwiches with different outside cookies and different soft serves.I highly recommend using this location.“

“I visited a new franchise in New Rochelle and I saw the organization and well-maintained facility in the store. With the Pink Cup I ordered, I was satisfied with the Pistachio flavored ice cream with my favorite toppings. The lovely cashiers welcomed me to the store and made me feel valued in the place. The Pistachio was delicious, and the bubble toppings with the strawberry slices were both nutritious and delicious. With a few people lounging in the peaceful environment, I enjoyed my stay, catching up with my organization discussing our logo to be used in New York City.“

“Fell in love with their setup. Old school carvel vibes. Ice cream tasted like my childhood. Very clean. The employees were very friendly and had no problem letting my young son use their personal restroom. We'll definitely visit again soon.“

“Recently discovered this place and are happy they have a vegan offering we like! The bean burger is very tasty, my wife approves, and that says a lot, lol! Unfortunately, on tonight's order, the avocado they used was disappointing--too hard, needed ripening. But the other time it was perfect. The other ingredients, including the bun, are delicious. For what it is and the prices, this place deserves five stars. I cut back to four stars on the food and wrote this review in hopes that management would take notice and solve the avocado ripeness issue.“

“Obviously ice cream is ice cream but the guy is genuinly amazing. He works super fast and is completely generous with what he gives to you, he is a very hardworking person because every time I walk past this place all I see is him doing is cleaning or taking peoples orderes while the other guy sits there doing nothing.“

“Discovered this place when searching for gelato in the area and could not be more impressed with the amazing selection of pastries, gelato, and even crepes. The lady behind the counter recognize us since the first time we visited. Very personal and warm atmosphere. It's our dessert spot forever now.“

“What a wonderful place to have brunch on the weekend or any time. Great food and drinks enjoy!It's also the site of many movies ? And commercials that were made there. You will see on t v Occasionally.Parking: The location is on 9W where it is. An old gas station turned into a restaurant. It's very cute.“

“Thank you so much for hosting such a great tea party for our little princess. The staff and Frank are amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our party was memorable. The girls had so much fun and everything was delicious .. we will definitely be back .. thank you ..�����“

“We love Koku! Best sushi for us in northern Westchester. It's so fresh and flavorful, haven't had a bad meal ever. The ambience is great and the servers are quick and reliable- some are super friendly and great and others not so much.“

“This is my go to spot for milk tea and frozen yogurt. i’ve been going here for the past 2 years and never had a problem with my drink. customer service is always amazing and it’s always clean. if i could remember the workers’ name , i would put them here. ??“

“Definitely excellent customer service, the delicious ice cream, the presentation and design that dedicate the maximum to the cake... I recommend this place the best... and not to mention the cleanliness, always taking care of the customers' health. ...highly recommended....“

“Great staff. Would love to give the product five stars. Unfortunately, I've experienced Ben and Jerry's, Baskin & Robins, Cold Stone Creamery... you get the picture. So, five stars for the staff and 3 stars for the product equals 4 stars!“
