    Wandering around Brooklyn and found this place right by the Brooklyn Bridge. It doesn't have a huge selection of flavors, but nothing wrong with that. No line, fast, friendly service, with good ice cream. My only hesitation in coming back are the prices. $8 for a scoop is pretty hefty.

    Came.here with a group as a work thing on a beautiful sunny Wednesday afternoon. I tasted the peaches and cream but decided to go Butter pecan, 2 scoops on a waffle cone.. it was amazingly tasty ice cream. We sat down on the chairs outside and enjoyed our ice with the bridge right behind us. It was a lively time. Service was fast.

    Banana Split

    We got a banana split with vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry with whip cream and sprinkles. If you're looking to get a sweet tooth fix, this is a good spot. The ingredients were fresh and they have indoor/outdoor seating. The views are amazing also! This portion was shared between two people :)

    A bit overpriced for what it was but the ice cream is really good and creamy! Perfect to enjoy with a view of the river!

    Got the strawberry and coffee flavor ice cream In a cup .. was very good ice cream with a nice view !! Always get ice cream from here whenever I come to this area

    Butter Pecan on a cone. $8 + tax. Very tasty
    Glenn C.

    After walking through Brooklyn Bridge Park one of my many times, I stopped here once a little while back as I was in the mood for a sweet treat. The line was moderately long but it went by pretty quickly and there's plenty of seating. The staff are friendly and this place in general reminds me of some old school places in northern New Jersey I used to go to in terms of the more thicker ice cream style as well as the quality. Of course, the price point is higher ($8 or one) but hey, it's Dumbo and they give you a very decently sized scoop so it's worth it. I sampled the Peaches & Cream which was good with plenty of peach flavor though I found it a bit too sweet. My other sample was what I ordered which was the Butter Pecan which is excellent. There was a good amount of nuts for crunch and it wasn't too sweet. As said before, I liked the texture a lot. The cone otherwise was the standard version and I believe you can update it to a waffle cone like many other spots. There's other spots if you want less thick ice cream such as Van Leeuwen though they cost a lot for less as well as the more unique rotating flavors such as at OddFellows but if you're looking for a good example of more typical/traditional ice cream flavors, I would recommend this place.

    Delectable Flavors

    WOW, WOW & DELICIOUSLY AMAZING‼Have you ever tasted ice cream that reminded you of your childhood, and how ice cream back then was VERY RICH IN flavor, and it was thick in taste and economically sound. This past weekend, I was with a friend visiting #Dumbo and was very impressed with the neighborhood and community vibe; that was near the waterfront. But what stood out was an Ice cream parlor named, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. And I met the two most charming, delightful, great communicators who won me at hello. Mike and Jinx, who was eager to serve me my delicious Butter Pecan unbelievable tasting, enriched with natural ingredients and a dose of LOVE; had me reminisce about the ice I tasted as a child in Harlem, NY. Honestly, it was a replica of the creamy thickness, churned to perfection and eager to dive right in. My girlfriend got the strawberry flavored and it looked heavenly delectable. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Mike & Jinx beautiful smiling faces again; but importantly to taste the other ice cream flavors I totally neglected. My motto- Don't cheat yourself...treat yourself does the mind, most & heart good.

    Chocolate Chocolate Chunk

    After having dinner nearby, I was in the mood for something sweet and the ice cream here did the trick! I sampled the peaches and cream flavor first because it sounded amazing but the peach flavor seemed to be lacking. Next I tried the chocolate chocolate chunk flavor and from that tiny sample, I knew that was the one. It was the kind of chocolate that is rich, and so full of chocolate flavor you'd think it was dark chocolate but it's not. It's sure to fulfill any chocolate craving you may have, at least that was the case for me. And if the ice cream itself wasn't enough chocolate, there are medium chunks of chocolate every few licks. I ended up getting a single scoop on a waffle cone (+$1) and then bringing it to Brooklyn bridge park, just across the street, and taking a nice stroll with my ice cream in hand. The only downside was I can't believe I didn't eat it fast enough because it started to melt and drip on my hands... but you can bet I didn't waste any!

    Butter Pecan Ice Cream

    After taking a walk on Brooklyn Bridge on sunny day, we decided to extend our walk till here for some cool treat. Butter Pecan Ice Cream: soft creamy and super delicious! Lots of pecan and mildly flavored. I loved it. The waffle cone is really nice too. Chocolate Chocolate crunch : Has big chunks of Chocolate, this is like regular chocolate ice cream. This place is very crowded but they do have open seatings and e got seats fairly quick.

    After an afternoon over at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, I stopped by the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory for a late night sundae. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and helpful the staff were, despite it being close to their closing time. The guy who helped us gave us very useful recommendations on flavor choices. And he was right! The flavors we ended up with were quite good. Was the ice cream super fancy and novel? No. But it was very tasty in a classic ice cream shop kind of way. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area, and would absolutely recommend it.

    Oreo Milkshake

    I am so happy. I finally got the chance to try Brooklyn ice cream factory. There are not a lot of options on the menu and they are basic but that's but that was fine. I was feeling a milkshake that day and got myself a cookies and cream milkshake and it was very good! One critique I have of some ice cream places when I order milkshakes is that the consistency is very thick however, my milkshake was perfectly blended and very simple to enjoy. I was also able to try other flavors, which I very much appreciated. The only con I would have was that my milkshake was about $13 which is pretty expensive for a milkshake. However, I would come back and very much enjoyed my milkshake.

    This review is for the attached bar. Went with my fiancé and our friends visiting from the UK. We ordered some beers and some mixed drinks. Everything was really good and our bartender for the evening was fabulous. I would definitely come back again!

    I was in DUMBO and had just finished dinner across the street. Visited on a Monday evening around 5 p.m. A few employees working, not the friendliest but no matter. There are quite a number of tables for you to sit and eat ice cream after you order at the window. A few people sitting eating ice cream but no wait. Overall, it was a classic ice cream spot. They had a small selection of traditional flavors and scoop type/container options (no weird experimental flavors that do not belong in ice cream IMHO). I wouldn't go out of my way to eat ice cream here but it was perfect dessert post-pizza. My s.o. and I both enjoyed it.

Nevertheless, I decided to try Figo as Yelpers rated fairly good reviews. I entered to the coolness relief of indoor air conditioner. While in the vicinity of Chinatown / Little Italy, NYC I check off Figo from my "places to go" bookmark with time. It is a long walk from my designated starting point which I rushed pressed for time in summer's humidity and eating for my return walk. There is a decent plethora of gelato flavors to choose from. After browsing the glass display counter the flavors appear non-traditional but modern with names: fresh lemon, Fragola, fresh strawberry, frutta della passione, fresh passion fruit and mixed berry. The flavors did not pique my interest. It quickly melted. I inquired if there were any flavors close to Nutella which I can comprehend there is no Nutella which this male associate blatantly with determination stated "we don't have Nutella, got that? For the same price you can get two scoops." The male server/ cashier was very brusque, impatient, abrupt, unyielding and curt for his behavior and communication. When requested a sales receipt, this male associate adamantly stated "we don't give receipts we can email it or text it to your phone, okay!" To survive is to make money as a business for profit, but it does not come with a human cost. This male associate has zero compassion and absolutely no empathy. Churlish for brackish personality. Or, was the high intense summer's humidity intolerable for him to withstand for adaption? He projects a high functioning hubristic behavioral approach towards me. The cash register is powered by Square with dual screens - well at least Figo accept cash which is the method of my payment. I did obtain my sales receipt via email which I did not realize it was an extortionate staggering price $8.75! Oh! Their competitor Grom charges significantly less approximately $5.25. Ergo, two stars for excessively poor customer service. Two scoops, regular cup $8.75 Vanilla and hazelnut flavor which were both very bland. The gelato quickly melted onto my hands leaving a very sticky residue - unfortunately. I honestly did not taste any flavor. I find Figo's gelato, surely, mediocre. Bye, Felicia!

    There really is nothing like a fresh Taiyaki fish shaped waffle cone…read more Taiyaki NYC is the original shop/location that made this type of waffle ice cream cone popular over 10 years ago. The soft serve ice cream here is far above average making the experience all around amazing. A favorite menu item of mine is their small custard or red bean filled fish waffles. They are made to order & soooo good! Do not try & order these before closing because they will say no! This is a grab & go type of business. There are no tables for dining in. Street parking is free & on typical NYC/Little Italy/Chinatown parking. I have had good luck when arriving as late as possible. One of my favorite spots. I hope it never closes. Especially since Williamsburg location no longer exists!!

    Take me back to Japan, PLEASE! I sorrowfully miss Tokyo, Japan and the surrounding prefectures…read more For me, Taiyaki NYC is a close illusion visit to Japan. All the hype, all the 3.5k Yelp reviews, all the 4.3 stars, all the 5.1k photos to lured me, finally, for a visit to Taiyaki NYC to make my own assessment and patronized visit was surely justified. It is here Taiyaki NYC where the fish-shaped Japanese waffle that is chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside is well known. This fish-shaped Japanese waffle originated where invented in Tokyo, Japan in 1909. I have a strong proclivity for predilection of traditional ice cream as my personal taste, but occasionally I do enjoy soft serve ice cream. My predilection of traditional ice cream is for maintaining the coldness to intake my time consuming whereas soft serve ice cream melts very quickly. Taiyaki NYC only carries soft serve ice cream. I decided my usual default ice cream flavor green tea one scoop in small cup. Customer service is attentive as my male server cashier was very patient when deciding my order and digging my bag to search for change for cash payment. This male cashier appeared very utterly befuddled with bewilderment questioning the American coin respective values when counting to dispense my change as my payment was cash. Yes, cash is still widely accepted as a valid form of legal tender payment. "Prohibition of Cashless Establishments, as of March 21, 2026, all retail and food establishments in New York State, including New York City, must accept in-person cash payments, banning fully cashless stores." Taiyaki NYC complies. There are very limited ledge seating and absolutely no tables. This brick and mortar storefront business is designed for take-out, the standard NYC on-the-go culture. There are disposable coasters with their fish waffle image. There is a galvanized metal bucket reminisce of mint julep cup serving as makeshift gratuity from one's arts and craft creation. Ice cream cup, one scoop green tea $7.50 It has a very alluring aesthetic food appeal to my eye for the swirls heap in a large, towering mound above the cup ream line. It does have the standard hollow center, but not a large circumference unlike most soft serve ice cream competitor businesses. I find the gargantuan hollow center to be flagrantly egregious cheating and scamming customers for quantity and quality. Aesthetic food appeal for the facade attract customer attention, but can businesses focus on taste, quantity and quality for filling the interior especially at a extortionate price of $7.50? Nevertheless, the taste was a joyful delight as a temporary escape from life's chaotic of my Sisyphean task. Napkins are abundantly available for grabs.

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory was only steps away, so it only made sense for us to check it out. I had heard of CICF before - it has become pretty well known on social media and my brother also frequents this area and has spoken of it. The space is small - outside of a small area indoors to queue up there is no other seating or area for customers. There was a small line when we arrived but it moved quickly; I can see foot traffic being an issue when they're being slammed though as there is no efficient flow of customers in and out. But I mean, it must be working for them - this spot is incredibly popular. Anyway, they have a good selection of ice cream flavors - some common ones and other more unique ones. I decided to try the vanilla fudge which was quite good; I could tell the ice cream itself was quality, and there was a generous helping of fudge ribboned throughout. Service was good - they were working the line well and before I knew it I was outside enjoying. Overall, Chinatown Ice Cream Factory was great - the ice cream was delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to return to explore more of their flavors.

We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.
