Caroline DengMarch 26, 2017Huge portion sizes. 1 scoop for $3.50, 2 for $5.50, and 3 for $7.50! Great views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge, and you can often see weddings being shot nearby. Cherry vanilla chocolate chunk!
Jess NaldoOctober 21, 2014If you cant decide between the butter pecan or the vanilla chocolate chunk... Ask nicely and they'll gladly offer you a half/half option on the one scoop! Then enjoy your ice cream with a view.
Jay GaoOctober 27, 2016This place is my favorite! Especially in the summer, enjoy a delicious double scoop of ice cream in a cone while admiring the breathtaking manhattan skyline. A little pricey but 100% worth it!
TomFebruary 20, 2017No frills, just delicious ice cream on the water and a view of downtown. My favorite is the butter pecan. Consider getting a sandwich if you're a fan of cookies.
Thierry MeierOctober 5, 2014Fantastic ice cream, not to confuse with the Italian gelato. It's typical American ice cream and especially chocolate was outstanding. Great value too and the view is unbeatable.
Village VoiceAugust 1, 2013No pretense; just some good ol' fashioned ice cream with a great view. Featured on our list of Top 10 Ice Creams in NYC, this is the quintessential experience that every New Yorker should have.
Erik CintronSeptember 8, 2014Simple ice cream shop. With a good amount of flavors. What makes it different it's underneath the Brooklyn bridge. Right by the water beautiful views and great photo. Little pricey but do it once.
Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015If you like ice cream, sprinkles and to sit by the water with the best view of NYC this is the place. Lovely ice cream, just get a napkin.. you don't want sticky hands!
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013'waterfront scoop shop w/limited menu that features classics like chocolate, coffee, strawberry, and butter pecan. Our tip? Take a cone to go—the views from the Brooklyn promenade can't be beat.'
Mike FriedlichJuly 7, 2018Chocolate Chocolate Chunk is great. The lines are long but the ice cream makes up for it and the location is great.
CompassApril 24, 2014Hit the caah-only pier-front factory for a look behind the scenes of one of New York’s most beloved ice cream brands, or take a handpacked pint or oversize banana split home for yourself.
Brittany GoodwynAugust 16, 2014Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. The options are limited, but very good. Try the coffee and vanilla chocolate chunk. You will thank me later.
G WongMarch 22, 2012Tired from a day of walking all over NYC? Get some of the best ice cream the city has to offer and chillax with your crew for a bit before walking again! Strawberry with waffle cone, can't go wrong.

Jeanise ChaplinDecember 29, 2014They have the real hot chocolate made from actual chocolate... bitter tasting, but delicious with the whip cream and actuall chunks of chocolate! :-)
Liang ShiSeptember 12, 2014Get the ice cream (because it's yummy), stay for the gorgeous view of Manhattan's southern point. Beautiful place to catch the sunset.
Halstead PropertyJune 13, 2013Sometimes simple is best, their neapolitan ice cream flavors don't need any bells or whistles because they are that good. We've never tasted fresher strawberry ice cream in our lives.
Kailey ThompsonAugust 8, 2016Great location. Long lines, especially on the weekends, but you can't beat the view of the bridges! The ice cream is delicious, too!
NYC: The Official GuideJuly 1, 2013Fun fact: This charming ice cream shop, which offers stellar views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline, is housed in a 1920s fireboat house.
Ailie ChangSeptember 13, 2015If the line is too long, get your ice cream at the small stand across from the building. It's the same ice cream! Peaches and Creme :)
Spencer SchoebenAugust 9, 2014fantastic and authentic ice cream place in dumbo. get the cookie sandwich. it's an Oreo basically
- Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015The best ice cream to exist! Go put sprinkles on your ice cream, then sit with your date looking over at Manhattan.
Sarah ZhangJune 10, 2013Have dinner at Grimaldi's then get a scoop of butter pecan and a scoop of strawberry! Delicious ice cream plus the view is amazing
DerekSeptember 20, 2016Everything is great but the shakes are amongst the best. Be ready to wait during summer but with it.

Jason GelmanJuly 2, 2012Get either vanilla chocolate chunk or chocolate chocolate chunk (or both!). Great milkshakes too. Right next to Bk bridge and the park.
Nicholas GraysonJuly 20, 2015The vanilla ice cream is delicious - sweet, but not overpowering. The strawberry is extremely fresh. Great for the NYC summer nights!

C SSeptember 18, 2018Ice cream just like any other ice cream and is very expensive, most likely due to location
