This was a sweet discovery. I was leaving dinner at Outpost and walking back to my car when i stumbled upon this gem. Ice cream shops kind of sell themselves. You can see the products from the glass, the staff was quite warm and approachable. They were happy to let us taste test from the menu before committing. I saw lots of viable ice cream and ice cream bar options. Eventually I settled on the almond coconut bar. If you like Almond Joy, you'll be in heaven when you taste this. The flavor was rich without being intoxicating and it was the perfect treat for an unseasonably warm day. The prices are Fort Greene. This is not Baskin Robins per se. You're getting gourmet flavors in a pricey area so for me, that's not an issue. Sit outside, enjoy your ice cream, people watch and enjoy the experience. read more

- very friendly service - lines can pop up at any moment - red velvet cake batter ice cream was good - added the fruity pebble cone, it was good as a novelty, but it was also very sweet - free water ftw! read more

Okay, so the caramel flavor is a little flavorless and the Smoreo is delicious (though a little sweet) but worth it, and that Froot Loops-covered marshmallow cone?!!? What!!!! The best! Craving this all over again. If only every ice cream spot had these. Love that they do and coming back try other flavors with that cone again soon. read more

Yummy ice cream!! Staff is very nice and let us try samples. Place has good vibes, and there was enough seating we were able to enjoy our ice cream. I got the blackberry (low fat yogurt) with chocolate chips; it was delish! read more

Any neighborhood we go to in Brooklyn, an ice cream shop is one of the first stops, if not the first. The shop was bright and cheerful and my daughter enjoyed her ice cream. They had a wide variety of flavors and everyone was nice. read more

The newest vegan flavor I had here was chocolate peanut butter fudge chunk and it was absolutely excellent. Amazing creamy chocolate base with large chunks of peanut butter fudge and some crispy pieces of something thrown in there. This is my dream type of flavor. I love that they always have at least two vegan ice creams in addition to some sorbets (the other flavor was coffee Oreo). read more

Popped in one evening while perusing the streets. Was craving a sweet treat. And, more importantly' s'mores. Emack and bolio's delivered. I got the s'moreo which is cookies and cream and s'mores mixed. Quite the treat. Rich, creamy, fluffy. Everything you could need. Fantastic texture with some crunch. But, still smooth. The place had 3 folks behind the counter grinding out orders. They were all great and working with ease. Pretty cool only having young folks (probably 17 or younger) running the show. Would definitely go back if I am back in the area. read more

Decided to stop in for treat, I went with the space cake on a waffle cone. The pieces of cake are yummy, but my portion didn't have much of the cake. The Ice cream was ok overall. I would come back to try other flavors. Cute spot with some seating, the service was standard. I would choose ample hill or baskin robins before this place. But I like to tryout places more than once. read more

This is a welcoming neighborhood ice cream shop. They have regular and vegan options. They serve cups and cones and you choose how many scoops you want. I tried a sample of the space cake and loved the cake batter ice cream flavor. The vegan goa mango was fruity and rich. I ended up getting a scoop of the salted caramel brownie. It was smooth and a nice balance of sweet and salty. My partner got the chocolate chip cookie dough and it was disappointing. The scoop looked like plain vanilla. It turned out there was maybe one piece of cookie dough in the whole cone. They have a water fountain in the shop, but you need to bring your own cup or bottle. For seating, there are three indoor tables with a decent amount of space for groups. read more

A cute little Ice cream shop. My friends and I visited here late on night seems like everyone enjoyed their choices. I got basic vanilla it was ok but It tasted homemade. They only allowed 2 samples so I really wasn't feeling to waste calories on one of the exotic flavours and be disappointed. Be mindful that they close at 10 we got kicked out at 10:01 which is reasonable. read more

There are limited ice cream/dessert spots in this area, so we decided to try Emack & Bolio's after our dinner near by. I love that they have the AC blasting on a hot summer day (THANK YOU!) They have a ton of flavors to choose from, but only let you sample 2. Most have multiple combinations in them. I ended up getting a flavor with oreo and cookie dough mixed into vanilla? ice cream. The sample I got had cookie dough, but the entire scoop I received had ZERO cookie dough....and the flavor was just overall quite plain. The texture is also not very creamy read more

Great ice cream and service. You will find some really creative flavors here like "space cake" and apple Brown Betty. They have some really unique cones with a cereal coating. The store is cute and cozy and the people working behind the counter are really friendly. We had the space cake and loved it. Plus the staff is really cool about giving samples for you to try! Highly recommend to check this out when you're in the area! read more

Emack & Bolio's serves up delicious ice cream, ice cream cakes, and specialty cones. Their location on Fulton, south of Fort Greene Park and north of the Barclay's Center is brand new. They re-opened about two weeks ago during the pandemic, with a take out window and all the menus plastered to the window. I believe they're open 1-8pm. My motley crew got the strawberry, Oreo peanut butter, cookie monster, and the Mississippi mud pie flavors. The cookie/chocolate lovers seemed very satisfied with their flavors. The strawberry was par. One thing I really appreciated was that I let them know that someone had a peanut allergy. They pulled the tub out of the case to assure me that the flavor I picked was allergen free. Then they scooped the flavors, then thought, took it back, and rescooped the flavor again to be triply sure there was no cross contamination with the peanut butter oreo that I also ordered. I also love that they have at least 3-4 vegan options, including some amazing sounding sorbets. We will be back! Shop local everyone! read more

Probably the worst ice cream I've had in nyc tbh. The ice cream is ice-y and lacking flavor. Similar to Breyer's but a bit worse. And it's overpriced - $1.75 for whipped cream gets you canned grocery redi whip?? I'm not picky about ice cream at all but would definitely avoid. read more

Treated myself with this delicious ice cream from @emackfortgreene . I went here regularly back in Boston but forgot how amazing the ice creams were . Both the flavors I got were creamy and sweet to perfection. chocolate addiction: name is apt. It was truly divine. blueberry crumble: this was my fave flavor and I would definitely get it again. This spot is conveniently located in Fort Greene and I can't wait to try all their other flavors. read more

After being mistreated at Olea Restaurant, and experiencing unfairness from their horrid staff, I continued my Eve to the Ethiopian restaurant - where everyone was kind - and then to Emack & Bolio ice cream place. The server at this ice cream parlor wouldn't stop SMILING and being KIND and it warmed my heart, and gave me hope in humanity again after the horrid experience at Olea. I actually thanked him for being so kind as I felt tears coming to my eyes from again having such a good experience after the horror night at Olea. Their ice cream is yummy, rich, creamy with varied flavors and absolutely delicious! No wonder it's always packed! Great business deserve great reviews. Business with bad staff and owner as Olea who harass patrons do not. Give your money to the good places in the hood - luckily there are still a few and every day new ones come up! read more

I just love this little spot, it's not really about the taste but more the vibe. My parents ain't never take my ass to get ice cream so for me it's like I'm parenting myself when I go here. Lots of fun ass names for different flavors. Very kid friendly place, lots of families. I got the vanilla bean flavor with a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. Its very cream, full of flavor and not too sweet. Just the right mix. Only complaint about the ice cream is that I wish it was a little more milky if you know what I'm saying. Definitely check it out and let me know if I'm tripping. read more

The quality of icecream here is super high like reaches the ceiling high. We had a scoop of the space cake and some raspberry flavor. The space cake was really good with pieces of red velvet cake--I loved it. The raspberry flavor with chocolate chips was a little underwhelming, I was left longing for bursts of raspberry flavor, a little tartness, SOMETHING! I also liked that the icecream was not overly sweet. The icecream is also kind of stretchy rather than icy. You need to show your vaccine card to eat indoors. Also I felt a little awkward paying because the staff was just standing there I wasn't sure whether I should move out of the way lol. But overall I would come back and try some other flavors! read more

Came in after a ramen dinner and MAN did this hit the spot. Might be biased because I was craving sugar but this place is perfect.

Visited this new location of Emack & Bolio's on a Saturday afternoon, and was thoroughly impressed with both the service and the ice cream. When my friends and I walked in, we were immediately greeted by the scooper, who was very enthusiastic about getting us the samples of the flavors that we wanted to try. After testing a few different flavors, I decided on a double scoop of the Blueberry Crumble and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Chunk. Both flavors were a bit crumbly; I wasn't able to get the double scoop on a sugar cone because they "didn't scoop well". Once the flavors began to melt and temper a bit, they were an exceptional creamy texture, but both were a bit icy when they were served, particularly the blueberry crumble (most likely due to its higher water content). Although the texture took a few minutes to hit its peak, the flavors were tremendously good. My friend tried two of the vegan flavors: raspberry sorbet and vegan chocolate pudding. The raspberry was not very good; it was gummy-tasting, as if too much thickener had been added to avoid crumbly textures. The chocolate pudding, on the other hand, was absolutely phenomenal -- extremely creamy and very, very rich. The temperature issues may have been a product of the location being very new and still working out a few kitchen kinks. Regardless, I am excited to return to Emack & Bolio's for delicious and generous scoops of ice cream. read more

I am 1000% addicted to their "mud pie" ice cream. Wow! It's so good. My only complaint is the pricing is pretty steep.

I was pretty excited to check out this ice cream shop and I have to say I left feeling a bit disappointed . It was just OK- the flavor was not really there for me in both of the ice cream flavors that I chose. Banana Foster didn't really taste like bananas, I also didn't taste any brown butter or rum. Just faint banana and some cinnamon. The maple walnut did taste like maple but it was just pretty lack luster as well. However 2 scoops for $6.25 is not terrible and they do have a lot of vegan options as well as low sugar & fat free yogurt. read more

I'm not as crazy about this Brooklyn location on Fulton. Yes, it's new, and the service is friendly. But Fulton doesn't have the full selection of candy-coated cones, which was why we picked Emack's out of all the ice cream shops in Brooklyn. I got a chocolate and peanut dipped waffle cone with espresso ice cream. Again, I appreciated that the ice cream wasn't too sweet, but the flavor lacked dynamism and was also a bit icy. I wouldn't say my experience was worth the nearly $8 I paid. I would still come back if someone specifically requested that we go to an Emack and Bolio's. P.S. I haven't knocked stars off for presentation, but based on the look of the ice cream cakes on display, I would be hesitant to order one myself. read more

(Written by eight year-old twins) Great local ice cream store. Service is friendly. Really creative flavors and names (like Moose Prints, Grasshopper Pie, Space Cake). Cones a little sweet. This past Friday night we ate at City Point (see review for Wiki Wiki) and everything closed at 8PM sharp. (Why would you close dessert counters so early? Looking at you Ample Hills!). So we were so happy to see the lights on in the window on Fulton St. We left happy as pigs in mud holding a salted caramel chocolate pretzel cone and a chocolate cookie dough (which could use a little more dough - constructive criticism given with love). We'll be back! read more

Only here to comment on the vegan ice cream!! I'm A little sad that the menu for Covid got a tad bit smaller. Their vegan coconut ice cream used to be the only reason why I came there lol. Attentive servers and very cautious, they are great! (&generous). Will be back ! read more
