After dinner in Northport, we were excited to check out Lic's Ice Cream! This cozy local shop has…read morethat true small-town charm and features a great variety of homemade ice creams, gelatos, and even dairy-free options! We ordered: Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip (Vegan) - Super flavorful and creamy for a dairy-free option. The raspberry was bright and fresh, and the chocolate chips gave it just the right texture and richness. Triple Chocolate Gelato - Deep, decadent chocolate flavor with delicate ribbons of chocolate flakes that melted in your mouth. So yummy! You can tell every flavor is thoughtfully made with fresh, quality ingredients. The shop itself is small--just one line in and limited standing room. If it's busy, it can feel a little tight, especially if people are waiting by the wall. But the staff were so friendly and patient, even with a steady stream of customers. Huge props for that! Bottom line: Lic's is a true local gem. Great flavors, kind staff, and something for everyone (including those with dietary restrictions). We'll definitely be back!

With so many cereal mix-ins, toppings, and flavor combos, you can get as creative as you want--there's truly something for everyone! What really makes this place special, though, is the fantastic staff. From the moment we walked in, they were welcoming, patient, and super helpful in guiding us through all the options. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and their enthusiasm is contagious. The ice cream itself? Absolutely delicious. Whether you go for a classic combination or something totally out of the box, every bite is packed with flavor and nostalgia. If you haven't been to Milky Ways yet, you're seriously missing out. Great treats, amazing people, and endless ways to customize your perfect dessert--what more could you ask for?

A solid ice cream spot, lots of flavors. The ice cream had just the right consistency, creamy and…read morenot too icy. Pretty standard in terms of service and atmosphere. I will say the ice cream did seem a bit pricey relative to the size of the scoops and the quality. This was a bit more of a grab and go spot, since there wasn't really seating available, which seemed a bit weird for an ice cream shop. There was a bit of room outside, but that wouldn't do much good for half the year!

I moved away and just came back and went to stop in and get my favorite only 8 yogurt. I am honestly shocked at what a bad experience this was. I got a medium only8 chocolate frozen yogurt. I included the picture of what my ice cream looked like, it was soup, and didn't peak over the top of the cup. I even said to the girl who made my ice cream is this what it's supposed to look like and she said yes. I honestly asked again and she said yeah, this is the machine and what it is. The best part was when she told me it was $9.75 for this cup of soup with no toppings that didn't even swirl like normal ice cream. I actually said outloud omg are you sure that's the right price and she said yes and asked me if I was paying with a card. Really disappointing experience and I guess I'll have to find somewhere else to get my favorite yogurt.

On top of that, the service was mid. Now I'm not asking white glove service but at least some assistance or greetings to start, it's not rocket science. The two girls behind the counter were on thier phone, setting on the counter and had their friends there too entertain than the costumers actually paying? This was Wednesday around 7:45PM Ambiance was weak, no music or any energy. Definitely not as fancy as Yogurt Fancy claims to be, so sad :(

Strong Island Ice Cream is one of those places that keeps you coming back. From the moment we…read morewalked in, the smell of the fresh-made bubble waffles filled the shop, and we knew we were in for a treat. We loved everything we tried. My favorite was the Bubble Waffle Sundae, while my bf is always a fan of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Milkshake. You can really taste the quality because everything is made in-house--from the rich, creamy ice cream to the warm bubble waffles and even the whipped cream, which I was absolutely obsessed with. What really made the experience stand out was the people. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. The owner was working in the shop when we visited, and he was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. It's always nice to support a local business where the owner is so involved and takes pride in every order. If you're looking for homemade ice cream and desserts on Long Island, Strong Island Ice Cream is definitely worth the stop. Great desserts, great service, and a great overall experience. We can't wait to come back! By the way, there is plenty of parking, the walls are very insta-worthy if you want to take photos with your beautifuly constructed sundaes, and there's some seating, and very clean as well.

Whether you're an ice cream enthusiast or just have a sweet tooth, Mickey's has something for everyone: traditional ice cream, cakes, hand made pies, premium pints, non-dairy options, and their famous ice cream sandwiches (yummm). There were so many flavors and treats to choose from that it took us a while to decide! I loved seeing the grab-and-go pints, such a great idea for busy families or for bringing dessert home. Before making my final choice, I sampled the cookie dough ice cream (which was rich and packed with doughy pieces), but I went with a scoop of Java Chunk in a cone with chocolate sprinkles. The flavor was spot on! A perfect blend of coffee and chocolate chips. My niece opted for her all-time favorite, cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles. The look on her face was pure joy. We took our treats outside and enjoyed them in the seating area, which was spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day and making the most of the beautiful weather. My niece told me it was the best day ever when we were enjoying our ice cream, so safe to say this place does it right.

My friends and I typically get 4 pints (buy 3 get 1 free) and keep them in my freezer and eat straight out of our own tub of ice cream - that is how much we love this place.

I also appreciate that they have non-dairy options which I have try still.

That said, I have been here several times in the 80s and 90s, but have not been here in over 30 years. I wanted to like this place. In fact I wanted to love this place, but I just did not. I went on a Saturday night for ice cream. The shop seemed somewhat forgotten, tired, and needing some care. Most of the lights were out, giving the shop a gloomy vibe. The vanilla ice cream, the standard by which an ice cream shop is measured, was bland, flavorless, and a true reflection of the current state of this once fantastic ice cream spot on Long Island. This is serviceable if you are looking for a shorter line than other spots in the neighborhood. If you're looking for great ice cream, keep looking.
