Good ice cream, but brings a premium price tag. ​The ice cream here is genuinely good, the service is friendly, and unlike a lot of spots in the area, there is plenty of seating to actually sit down and enjoy your treat. That said, be prepared for a very limited selection of standard flavors. It's also definitely on the pricey side--expect to pay $8 for a single scoop, which feels a bit steep compared to the usual $6 national average. Worth a stop if you want a reliable, friendly spot to sit down, but keep the smaller menu and higher cost in mind. read more

The review is for the ice cream spot. Plenty of choices. Easy service. Moving fast. Price moderately. We had walnut and peach and cream flavors . The creaminess made me insane with this brand. Worth trying when you are in the area. An epic experience. Location is so perfect. Right after the ferry station with a great view of the bridge. Historically awesome to be here. read more

Came here after sunset yoga at Pier 3 because we'd heard good things and it's normally packed. We were happy to see there was no line, but I was sad their Butter Pecan flavor was sold out. We decided not to get any samples and just went with a single scoop of the Vanilla Chocolate Chunk with some caramel. No wait time and there were tables and chairs available for us to enjoy the dusk by the water. The ice cream hit the spot but wasn't anything I'd wake up craving. I really enjoyed the caramel and would recommend adding toppings to spice up whatever you get here. I wish I would have gotten a cone as well as those are available too. read more

Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory - Chocolate Chocolate Chunk and Vanilla Chocolate Chunkvanilla - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

Came to this place on a sunny day while walking around the Dumbo area in Brooklyn. I got two scoops of ice cream, one Butter Pecan flavor, and another flavor of Peaches and Cream. Butter Pecan was amazing. Taste of the ice cream was rich and strong! The scoop of Peaches and Cream flavor was alright, but definitely weaker in comparison to the Butter Pecan. The base of the ice cream tasted more like vanilla than actual peaches to me. There were tiny peach chunks in the ice cream, which I thought was a neat thing to have, but overall I was a bit let down by the tiny amount of peach taste. It lacked the fruit flavor that I was hoping for, but I still think this place serves really nice ice cream. Price is more on the expensive side. If you're getting just one scoop, you get charged $8. It's more worth it if you get two scoops, because then you get charged 10 dollars in total for the 2 scoops. I liked the location and setup of this ice cream place. You can even sit and look at the views of the city and bridge, since the shop is near the waterside. It is an outdoor area though. read more

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. read more

When in Brooklyn we have to come here to get some ice cream. We got there a little after opening and there was a line already. Staff was nice and they worked fast. We ended up getting butter pecan, peaches and cream and strawberry. Ice cream was delicious and nice little spot to sit outside to enjoy. A bit on the pricey side but still good read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I tried the peaches and cream flavor. The base was far too sweet and the peach flavor was very mild and almost undetectable. Unfortunately, it was not a creamy consistency either and slightly icey. $8 for a single scoop. Would skip and go elsewhere. read more

I stopped by the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and got the chocolate chunk and coffee flavors and both were excellent. The ice cream was creamy, chocolatey, and not overly sweet, and the coffee flavor had a rich, smooth taste that I really enjoyed. You can tell they make it fresh on site. I also liked that they keep their menu simple, no over-the-top combinations, just classic flavors done really well. You can tell the focus is on quality and flavor, and it definitely shows. read more

For all of DUMBO's incredible views, great pizza, and general tourist kryptonite, for years I have been so disappointed by the ice cream options i. the area. Until now! We tried this spot after kayaking on a whim, and as self-proclaimed dessert snobs were so impressed. The peaches and cream and butter pecan combo was surprisingly lovely, flavors were subtle but unique, the ice cream has a much silkier and creamier consistency than most scoops around. The sundae had fresh raspberries in the raspberry sauce and the hot fudge and chocolate scoops did not disappoint. There are some tables outside but we took ours to the park for the scenery. I can't imagine how they could earn more stars, especially given the grim ice cream landscape of Brooklyn south of Williamsburg. We'll be back! read more

Finally checked this spot out. I have heard great things about it. You order from a window there is ho indoor seating or area I could see. I got regular chocolate scoop with chocolate sprinkles. There are only some toppings only for cups and some just for cones. This ice-cream spot is located across from the water area in brooklyn and by the ferry. It was tasty but I was full from lunch so could not finish the one scoop I got. Service was great, I told the person taking my order about my nut allergy and he took it seriously. There are places to sit outside to enjoy your ice-cream. read more

After a delicious pizza dinner at our favorite place and walk to soak in the views of the Brooklyn Bridge, we needed dessert. Our car happened to be parked across the street so we headed there on this beautiful evening. There is plenty of patio seating and quite a few flavors to choose from. Prices were high for 1 scoop so it was a better value to get 3 to try different flavors to share. They were oh so good! Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back! read more

I have always loved Brooklyn Ice cream Factory. I like that there aren't soooo many different flavors so you aren't overwhelmed trying to figure out which flavor to choose. They always have one special. This months was cherry chocolate chunk. My daughter always gets the vanilla which she loves I had the butter pecan one of my classic faves. Their Ice cream is smooth and delicious. It is pricey for ice cream but I feel like that is everywhere. The line was looooong but it seemed to move fairly quickly. One of our favorite family places to have ice cream when we are in the area. read more

We were in New York in what felt like the heat of summer, mid July. Made the trip out to Dumbo on Day 2 to see the Brooklyn Bridge and right across from that bridge, in big bold letters, BROOKLYN ICE CREAM FACTORY. They had me at 'ice cream'-- and the colors were cute, so that's a plus. Crossed the street, got in line... not too many people ahead of me. Friendly service and got my order quickly-- double scoop of the Peaches n Cream. The ice cream was creamy and delicious... Super refreshing. I was sweatin' my ass off so this was just what the doctor ordered! Downside? It was melting wayyyyy too fast. I like to savor and enjoy my ice cream so I hated that I had to hurry up and guzzle this down as quick as possible. Made an absolute mess of my hand-- I hate sticky fingers! Can't put the fault on them though... The sun was wreaking havoc! ... not the best ice cream I've ever had but it was still pretty damn good. read more

Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, From the very moment we arrived at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, we were greeted with exceptional warmth and professionalism. Although Mr. Mark Thomson, whom I had the pleasure of meeting before, was not present, the assistant supervisor, Kevin Samsundar, assured us that we would be treated with the same level of dedication and care that Mr. Thomson always provides. And it was not an empty promise: Kevin truly exceeded expectations. His kind attitude and attention to detail made us feel very welcomed. It was an experience marked by his genuine concern for our comfort, which left a strong impression on me. Although Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is known for its delicious ice cream, they also serve food, and we had the opportunity to enjoy it. We ordered a burger, which was exceptional, perfectly prepared with incredible flavor. We also tried the guacamole with cheese, which was equally exceptional, fresh and delicious. The quality of the food is impeccable, and everything is served in a very clean environment. I had the chance to speak with Clemente, the waiter, and asked him how long he had been working there. I was pleasantly surprised to learn he had been there for two years, and when I asked why he worked there, he told me something that truly impacted me: the reason was that Mr. Mark Thomson is an exceptional boss, and that motivated him to continue working there. It is very valuable when an employee has such respect and appreciation for their boss, and it clearly reflects the positive environment in this place. I also want to emphasize that Kevin Samsundar is an exceptional person. His kindness, dedication, and genuine attitude toward service made our experience even more memorable. The team, led by Kevin and complemented by Clemente, demonstrated what it means to offer unconditional attention, making us feel part of the family and turning our visit into something truly special.

First off, ice cream is great. Very creamy and rich. I got the butter pecan and peaches and cream. The butter pecan had lots of nuts and paired well with the ice cream. The peaches and cream was super good too, the peaches were actual cut up peaches so they had a great punch of flavor. Service was quite good. Super chill dudes serving and while I was looking for my card to pay, my ice cream spawned in front of me like magic since they made it so fast. W crew Ambiance was pretty litty.

Came here last week on a lovely hot summer evening. It's convenient that this establishment is located well before the entrance of the park as opposed to inside of the park. I came here with the intention of getting a Dulce de Leche shake or a shake with caramel. I ordered the vanilla shake with caramel syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It wasn't the best shake I've had, but I feel as though you're best bet it to get ice cream here only. I plan on getting a scoop of butter pecan and a scoop of vanilla chocolate chunk in a waffle cone with sprinkles the next time around. The customer service wasn't the best; it took a while to obtain my order and actually get rung up. I only see myself coming back here once or twice in my life. I prefer Haagen Dasz. read more

Chocolate chocolate chip was 10/10. A little bit expensive and wish they had a smaller size, but still worth the trip.

Nice creamy ice cream next to a beautiful view. The coffee ice cream hit the spot for me. It was $8 for a single scoop so half of the cost is going to rent, I'm sure! Not something I would make a trip for, Chinatown Ice Cream Factory or Sugar Hill Creamery have more interesting flavors and topping IMHO, but this will do! read more

I stopped by Sunday night with my cousins for some ice cream and a stroll around the pier/park. The line for this place was cracking, but it moves fairly fast. They have limited flavors it seems because it's their classics/what they have been known for their homemade ice cream. There was a season flavor during our visit, but it was already sold out. You are allowed to ask to try the flavors if you would like. We ended up getting the chocolate chocolate chunk on a waffle cone x 2 and a vanilla chocolate chunk on a waffle cone. For a single scoop of ice cream it was $8. You have the option to put the scoops in a waffle cone ($1 extra), sugar cone or cup. I liked the chocolate chocolate chunk as it was not very sweet. However, it was super melty compared to my cousin's vanilla chocolate chunk in a waffle cone. The ice cream was super creamy and rich in flavor. The chocolate chunks inside were fairly large where you can actually enjoy it. The waffle cone was on the thinner side, the ice cream was dripping down the cone but also so much so that it was coming out from where the paper was on the cone. From my past experience working at an ice cream shop, I think if the cone was a little thicker, it would drip through the cone like that. Overall, pretty tasty ice cream. A tad pricy for what it was but it's a treat. At least the scoop was a decent size for a single and there are plenty of seats if you prefer to sit while you eat your dessert. If you are looking for more plain flavors, this would be a good place to try. If not, there is another ice cream shop that has more unique flavors across the street. read more

We stopped by for a post-dinner treat on a Saturday and it was a solid 10-15 minute wait. The staff is efficient and nice.

I enjoy the idea of simplicity and to have just a few flavors on the menu makes you feel like each of the flavors should be really good - especially the classic ones. Some summers ago when this place was still on the pier, I had the freshest, creamiest strawberry I can remember and yesterday, on a cold November day at $7 a scoop, I decided I wanted to enjoy that again since we were in the area for Juliana's and actually got a spot! Unfortunately it was not good and nowhere near what I remembered. It tasted like nothing. Like watered down vanilla with the faintest hint of strawberry. It was a little frosty and not as creamy as I was hoping. The staff also was just meh and the place was separated from the bar side and you weren't allowed to reach the ice cream place from there so that was also just inconvenient. I guess overall I'm glad I got it because now I don't need to fantasize anymore as it's not the same. Guess I'll try the ice cream that replaced them in their old location and they are 2 cents cheaper so there's that. read more
