Sarah T.June 30, 2014Try the Almond Joyful and ask for hot chocolate fudge. Definitely one to share, since it's massive!
Dertie BixonOctober 18, 2014breakfast is small portions but v tasty. Great old fashioned decor and what look like awesome sundaes
a daycare center disguised as a neighborhood café. their espresso drinks are excellent, for what it's worth.
Valerie SDecember 17, 2015Great decor and vibe. Desserts, ice creams, and shakes are all yummy, but always seem a bit overpriced.
Vibe is on point, but there’s better ice cream to be found
Larissa AlvarezOctober 12, 2019Decor is adorable, extensive menu. Brownie sundae was fine but can't wait to try everything else!
If its early enough in the day, get the Rocket milkshake. Homemade coffee ice cream blended with iced coffee. You'll be buzzed.
SkeeterNYCMarch 26, 2011You wanna know what has your name on it? The Simi Sundae. And you'll think of me as the pistachio ice cream and caramel sauce runs down your face...
jake furstMarch 16, 2013here for lunch? get the grumble-grumble: grilled cheese, soup and an egg cream for $12.
Meredith HopeNovember 18, 2014This place is adorable. Love the vintage motif! The Mr. Potato head sundae is a must.
roe99July 4, 2014The ice cream options are fantastic. Love the cookie monster. But the service is lacking. They stand around talking to each other instead of taking orders.- The table in the back is great for big groups, plus, it will make you feel like you're at your house. It's cozy.
CompassMay 14, 2014Midcentury décor and irresistible egg creams and soda floats are this vintage-themed institution's sweet spots.- Reagan BarbosaAugust 9, 2018The atmosphere of this place is the real pull. ADORABLE old timey farmacy. The pineapple soda was yum. The ice cream was just ok though.
- Júlia CastellóJanuary 19, 2015The Peanut butter cup is a delightful mix of flavours hard to describe with words
- Carlos ValleSeptember 6, 2014The Cookie Monster sundae is delicious but massive! They serve half portions for $8 even though they aren't listed on the menu.
Carmen NMarch 21, 2018Ice cream sundae choices for days, I always want to come back and try a different one.
Megan DoAugust 4, 2012Quite possibly the cutest place in Brooklyn. Get a Cherry Lime Rickey or share one of their huge sundaes with your love!
William NelliganAugust 10, 2014Sit at the counter, order an egg cream, listen to the music: it's almost the forties.- Seasonal desserts are very recommend it i.e. pumpkin ice-cream in autumn.
There's nothing quite so good as a chocolate egg cream. Lighter than ice cream but just as much fun.
Kathryn FoxGrovesSeptember 21, 2013Tootsie Roll Ice Cream Soda!!! Cherry soda and chocolate ice cream. Absolutely perfect.
If you haven't been here in a while, come back! Looks like they've revamped the menu in a serious way!
Brian LemondAugust 20, 2011It's not on the menu, but go for the peanut butter milkshake. You can ask them to run caramel inside the glass for that extra gluttonous touch...
Melissa ThorntonAugust 23, 2010Sundae of Broken Dreams is 'licious. Ask for 1/2 caramel & 1/2 hot fudge to go with those chunks of pretzel rod. Sweet & salty & oh so well done.
- There are a lot of children's book. A very "baby-friendly" spot in carroll gardens.
- BruceAugust 24, 2022the customer service was severely lacking but the brownie sundae i had was worth struggling through the tepid interaction.
- Affugazi Affagato for the win. The espresso dip all over it. Yuhummm
Rachel LandeJuly 4, 2012Broken Dreams was an amazing combo of salty & sweet! Like a much better chubby hubby sans chocolate.

"Can't beat TJ's prices especially on organic produce when in stock. Their products are comparable to any leading food brand. They just created their own Balsamic Glaze which makes me very happy!"
