Pasta in a cup? Say less. Stopped by Cups of Pasta & Elios Ice Cream in Astoria and put their $10 Penne alla Vodka with chicken to the test. Fresh pasta, packed cup, quick service--but I wanted more sauce and a little pepper-flake attitude. Then Elios came in like the hero of the story. I went with Ferrero Rocher, Biscoff Caramel & Cookie Monster topped with Oreos, cookie crunch, lava chocolate & whipped cream. Basically, I stopped pretending I had self-control. I love the grab-and-go setup. I can definitely see myself grabbing a couple cups and heading to Astoria Park for a picnic lunch. In and out in about 10 minutes. Perfect when you're hungry, impatient, and have places to be. Final verdict: Pasta was alright. That sundae? She understood the assignment. read more

Elio's colorful exterior appearance and the array of scrumptious donuts on display in the window gave me a personal invitation to enter the business. Oh my goodness, the aroma that welcomed me was enough to lure me into overindulgence. Elio's has it all covered in the sweet treats category. They have brownies, cookies, crepes, donuts, ice cream sundaes and banana splits. I sampled the CocoMelon flavor which is vanilla ice cream with Skittles and was absolutely delicious. I ordered the donut with Froot Loops and asked to have strawberry glaze drizzled on the top. The donut was delicious and my colleagues enjoyed it as well. The business is bright and welcoming. Staff were friendly. There is plenty of tables and seating for dine in options. I'm glad that I decided to stop by and check them out. *There are two other locations in Astoria and Manhattan.* read more

Elio's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

After an underwhelming dinner experience, my friend and I were craving a late-night sweet treat, and we stumbled upon this spot. The vibrant storefront immediately caught our eye with its colorful display of donuts, and once inside, we were surprised to see not just donuts, but also crêpes, ice cream, and more. Food: 3/5 I ordered their donut ice cream sandwich, which came with three scoops of ice cream and toppings inside a donut of my choice. My friend went for two scoops of ice cream on a cone. While it all sounded amazing, the execution didn't quite land. My donut felt a bit stale, probably because they toasted it to hold the ice cream, but I prefer a softer, fluffier donut. The ice cream flavors also didn't wow me, so I ended up eating just a few bites. My friend's cone was fine, but the scoops were piled high in a way that made it impossible not to drip everywhere. For what it was, $30+ for both of us felt steep. Service: 4/5 It looked like maybe one or two people were running the whole show, which meant long waits. My friend's cone took about 15-20 minutes, and my donut sandwich another 10 after that. If you're ordering something simple, it's faster, but the more "fun" menu items definitely take time. Ambiance: 4/5 The space itself is really fun -- lots of bright colors, seating areas, and even a wall you can write on. It clearly appeals to a younger crowd or those looking for an Instagrammable late-night stop. All in all, it was fun to try, but I can't say I'd rush back. The concept is great, but between the long wait, steep price, and underwhelming flavors, it didn't live up to the hype. I'd only stop by again if I happened to be in the area and really wanted something different. read more

Are you F'ing kidding me? These prices are completely outrageous. A cookie sandwich with 1 scoop of ice cream is over $16. Wtf?! They lost their donut menu. Lady said a customer stole it. Tasted the salted caramel ice cream that has chunks of chocolate in it which is weird to begin with. Tasted good. Place is just wrong. No one in there. Staff is sweet but not knowledgeable and can't help. Waste of time. read more

This place has some really tasty ice cream. I have had the opportunity to try many different flavors over the years and I have been generally impressed with what I have tried. Pro- tip is that you should ask for a sample or 2 in order to find out what you want to get. Altogether, this is a very solid ice cream place with some unique, worthwhile flavors that are 100% worth trying. Enjoy!! read more

It was a great experience! They have delicious flavors, definitely recommend the Reeses ice cream! We ordered the cocomelon and a banana split, and for some reason I wanted a classic banana split but apparently is a build one, and you can make it up with how many extra topping you want ( of course you pay for then) so I wish they had the classic option! For example: we had to picked whipped cream as a topping because is not included (?) but I thought that was a normal banana split ‍ read more

Such a cute place! The girl who served us was really friendly and gave great suggestions for what to order. My friend wanted to try their donut and ice cream and the girl suggested why not both? So she got a donut ice cream sandwich that looks divine. I got a scoop of the coco melon ice cream that looked fun (vanilla ice cream mixed with Skittles) + fruit loops as a fun topping. Would love to come back here for ice cream when we are back in the area :) read more

Very overpriced. Portions are small. A large I was charged $10.90. Quality is nothing special. Best ice cream is Tillamook sold at Stop in Shop and othet supermarkets. read more

I was very disappointed overall. I ordered and paid for a quart of ice cream, took it home, and opened a container that was substantially empty. I can understand icecream settling a bit, but this was a clear intentional not filling of the container. And for the already elevated price, I definitely expected a full amount. read more

These dessert spots are going to be the death of me. Literal death by chocolate because that's what I get every time I am near one of these places. The windows and street signs drew me and I couldn't help but pop in to see what's up. With liege waffles, donuts, ice cream and so much more on the menu I became slightly overwhelmed. After narrowing down what I wanted I felt a lot better and placed my order. One brownie for me, one marble glazed/frosted donut for the hubs and chocolate covered strawberries for the fam. The donut was frosted at the time it was order and game out pipping hot. Quite messy and a bit difficult to eat but still satisfied that sweet tooth. Nothing was out of this world special but all good just the same. Not to say I wouldn't pop back in to try something else on their lengthy menu. What can I say, I love something sweet. read more

A new bright and fun looking ice cream parlor that offers many different flavors of ice cream, gelato, fresh donuts uniquely designed and really delicious looking. It's really not your run of the mill franchise ice cream place nor a fancy gourmet type of place. It's what an ice cream shop should be but this place is a modern version. Its actually refreshing to be able to go in order a desert and actually sit down to enjoy it. read more

If you are looking for an option for something sweet and you don't know what to eat, this is a good option. They have donuts, ice cream, xrepes, smoothies, coffee and varieties. You have multiple flavors. I tried the peanut butter one and I loved it. So you have different topping options for what you are going to order, the service is fast. The prices are affordable. If you go with the family your pockets will be good. The only thing was that the tables were a little dirty but there was only one worker. Their service was excellent, I always asked if we wanted to order something else. read more

This has easily become my favorite dessert spot in Queens! With seemingly endless flavors of ice cream, more brownies than I can handle, toppings galore, and the waffles I've had yet to try but so excited for--bruh. I'm not a big candy person but boyyyy do I have a sweet tooth and love chocolate and sweets in general. The staff there are all so friendly and if you're looking for instagramable sweets this is the spot (their social media will show you what I mean @eliosicecream). Overall ambiance is very sleek, clean, and genuinely it's a very cute spot right off the 7 train on Queens Blvd. Will be back to satisfy my sweet tooth further! -- Tips --no bathroom on site --before it goes away because it's seasonal, I recommend trying the "Alice in Wonderland" flavor. Interestingly refreshing! read more

Way too expensive and took way too long. I spent $60 on two people and it took 30 minutes for it to be ready.

Wend during their first day of opening. They haven't decided on what time they will stay opened until to, but will work out all the kinks after a bit. For now they are giving 20% off due to it being launch week. I'm so glad that Elio's opened in this area. I really want to try all of their flavors and types of desserts. I must say that the service to the ice cream are 100% or rather 5 stars. They gave multiple samples out and was super patient with us. My favorite flavor was the blackberry. I liked how they have such different choices compared to the baskin robbins a few blocks away. They can make soft serve out of the regular ice cream flavors. They blend it all together and make it into one delicious flavor. I blended watermelon sorbet and vanilla all into one and didn't have any regrets. read more

Confusing service. Went back and forth for a good min and still got the wrong order. Ice cream was fine.

I was disappointed with how long it took to get my order--a simple crepe with strawberry, banana, and Nutella. It shouldn't take 25-30 minutes, especially when there were only three tickets ahead, including mine. The staff seemed disorganized and inefficient, which made the wait even more frustrating. At the end it was not worth the wait! Advise find a better place!!! read more

Just steps from the 7 train. Excellent customer service. And the food/dessert was definitely worth it

A must visit spot for late night sweet cravings! Everything is freshly made and irresistibly delicious. The service is exceptional, making the experience even more delightful. has a great ambiance too. Highly recommended! read more

I was craving a Sundae randomly and we stumbled upon this place and what a joy it was! The staff was so friendly and helpful, gave us so many taste tests, help us make our decisions and even give us a little note to write a wish on the wall. It's clean, inviting and most importantly delicious! I can't wait to come back. This is definitely a must if you like sweets! read more

This establishment really needs to learn how to make a proper crepe and milkshake just look for yourself in the screenshot you can see the garbage quality right away and on top of that they extort you on the prices . The owners do not care purposely make these sorry excuses of dessert to ppl who don't know any better and fall for their antics . Just look for yourself and you decide . It's no surprise that there always empty and only have one sorry excuse of a worker on there phone touching the food also read more

Such yummy ice cream! The staff was super friendly right when we walked in and offered us as many samples as we would like. I decided on the flavor "cookie monster" which had cookie dough pieces, oreo pieces, and I'm pretty sure there were also regular chocolate chip cookie pieces in there as well. Super tasty and well done. I also love that the default is a waffle cone. Big fan! read more

Elio's is a very cute ice cream place. It has a wider variety of ice cream flavors as well as toppings. I had the banana pie ice cream which had little pieces of actual pie (yum)! I look forward to trying the ice cream donut and the ice cream nachos which is basically waffle cone pieces. The other time, I got a medium cone which is a hefty portion. My cone ended up breaking , that's my only gripe. Glad that Sunnyside has more dessert options! read more

The donuts are good but they are scammers. I tried coming in with my family and they told me $140 for two dozen donuts. That literally makes no sense I'm not ordering donuts for a birthday party or huge event I'm trying to order donuts that are made. You're telling me it's $4.50 a donut PLUS .95 per topping and .95 for the topping. That's just being abusive and taking price gauging and inflation as an excuse. She literally asked me, what do I do for a living ? Because I didn't agree with the price that's out of line and outrageous. She argued with me over this and made up prices. The couples behind me left after hearing this read more

Great service. The young lady was excellent. Let me try a couple flavors to help with my terrible decision making. Ice cream was good. However, pretty expensive. But I guess everything is these days read more

I'm just going to get right to it. Pros: - it seems like they make donuts fresh after you order them - staff were courteous - space is clean and decorated cute Cons: - assuming donuts are made-to-order, it took wayyyyy too long for our order of THREE donuts. We waited approximately 10-12 minutes and we were the only ones with an active order - the donuts are extremely sweet. Like the kind of sweet that makes your teeth and stomach hurt - we didn't order ice cream, but some of the flavors looked on the older side Overall, I don't get how this place is still open in a city like New York...it's overpriced for the quality and just not worth it read more

Amazing place, their crepes are delicious. I ordered a strawberry banana nutella crepe with a scoop of ice cream on it. It was super delicious. read more

If i can give this 0 stars I would. Just ordered a small "crepe" for an astonishing $14. It was under cooked, gummy, tiny and all the ingredients were outside the pastry. Ive never had a crepe served like that. The service was not great. The staff seemed confused about what I ordered. I ordered one thing and they didnt seem very busy, so I'm not quite sure where there could be any confusion. The staff then asked for my name on the order when I never gave anyone my name. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be recommending this place. read more

Old ice cream, super expensive and very very slow service. My kid got the cotton candy ice cream and he had diarrhea for 3 days, He had to miss school because of this bad ice cream. Nothing looks fresh, they should probably have less flavors and keep them fresh than to have so many stale options. I will never go there again. Oh and before I forget, this place is very slow. They take your order, then enter it into a tablet, then take your money and scan, yes scan, your money through a bill reader at least 3 times. I gave the lady a 20 and she scanned it three times on each side. I should have asked her to scan the single she gave me back , three times. Stay away, there is a place on 44th street and queens blvd that has fresh ice scream. read more

An absolute gem, top notch service. perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth anytime! and yeah, they have a Pac-Man and make a wish wall.. lovely place read more

This place opens at 2pm and closes at 12 midnight. It has a good variety of different flavors of ice cream. It even has vegan vanilla for those who cant eat regular ice cream. Before entering the place, they have a nice display of different types of donuts they have in store. Their popular ice cream flavors are Elio's treasure and salted caramel truffle. The only thing which I noticed when I was looking at the ice cream was some of the labeling of the ice cream was off. For example the ice cream closer to you would be labeled on the top layer, but on other rows, it would be on the bottom layer. Besides that, the place seems like a nice place to check out. It even has some different desserts beside ice cream. It has donuts, crepes and even sundaes. read more

The service is nice I like the ambiance of the store as well. The donut is nice and warm and fresh tasting. The cost is on the pricey side but it's still worth it in a way. I got the chocolate donut. I haven't tried the icecream but I sampled the banana cream brûlée was interesting. read more
