I was not a fan at all. The ice cream is thick. It has a weird texture. The vanilla tasted like buttercream. My biggest issue was the cross contamination. They dip the ice cream into the sprinkle bin instead of using a spoon to put on the toppings. That means peanut butter ice cream has touched every bin. I would not come back. read more

I Still love this place! Can't wait for my baby to get older to bring her here. I was just there this past weekend with my mom.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]During the summer, I even like to bring my dog here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely so glad you guys are open now.

Marvel Frozen Dairy - Swirl pistachio and coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Queens, New York

My friend and I had already had dinner and a different dessert, but I had seen Marvel Frozen Dairy and was just really tempted by how appealing and yummy a soft serve would be. It also helped that their prices are so affordable and reasonable, which is especially notable for NYC where it's only getting more and more expensive. So I treated myself to a little pistachio and strawberry swirl soft serve and it was a delight. My friend really loved it and I liked it. I won't say it's the best soft serve of my life but for that price and portion, it's a yummy treat and deal. And the colors look so good together. read more

Ordered: Small Sugar Cone (~$5): Peanut Butter & Banana Swirl Aya's take: At this point, I've probably tried all the swirl options and haven't been disappointed once. The Peanut Butter & Banana work so well together and the Banana actually tasted legit and not like the fake Laffy Taffy flavor. The Peanut Butter was nutty, creamy, and didn't overpower the banana or vice versa. Love that they specialize in soft serve unlike other ice cream spots in the area! Check them out. read more

This was our first visit to Marvel and it was great! They had ice cream, vegan options, and two flavors of frozen yogurt (banana and peanut butter). The workers at the counter were super sweet, gave us samples, and answered all of our questions about the various toppings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is limited seating (3 or 4 outdoor tables with umbrellas) but it was a perfect respite on a warm, summer day[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]although this location has only been there since 2022 (chain has been around since 1951) it definitely felt like old school New York.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here with my cousin recently after having brunch next door at The Grand. My cousin ordered a Milkshake and I ordered pineapple ice cream with Toasted coconut flakes. Let's just say that it sounds better than how it tasted. It was a little sweet but wasn't so delicious to me. I appreciated the fast and friendly service. However, this is somewhere that you try once as opposed to coming here regularly. read more

Marvel used to be my go-to for ice cream in Astoria. I would frequently sing their praises on IG and reddit. I *love* soft ice cream and have been missing it since Carvel left. Their milkshakes were particularly delicious. When they first opened, that was my treat every other week (or so). Unfortunately, I have to put the emphasis on "was" because something has drastically changed. It now tastes like a very strange mess - part chemical - part almost cherry. Make no mistake - it does not taste like strawberry and it does not taste the same as the ones I used to get from there. I've gotten three over the last year, in the hopes that it might have just been my taste buds. Nope! All 3 went in the garbage. $30 down the drain. Unfortunately, I can no longer brag to everyone about their deliciousness. Maybe I'll be back for some ice cream but certainly not for their milkshakes. At this point, I'd rather have one from Burger King at 1/4 the price. Fix it. read more

I love the ice cream. Smooth, creamy, does not melt fast or taste like cheap old stale ice cream. I brought vanilla and chocolate, the taste was delicious! read more

Great addition to Astoria - not just for summer! Quick - easy - delicious and just like you remembered from your early years. Crazy I didn't take photos of my chocolate ice cream as I slurped it up before it could melt down the cone!! Next time - photos!! The servers were smiley and cheerful. Plenty of chairs to relax and enjoy...as you think of having seconds! Note: it is on a side-street to make sure you look for it or you can walk right by and not notice this location. Don't forget to get extra napkins!! read more

Took myself on an ice cream crawl on the first nice day of the summer and had to start at Marvel. It's a no frills kiosk with outdoor seating that offers the staple soft serve flavors and toppings you grew up with, plus a few interesting twists. Service is always fast and courteous, though I've had to wait on a short line during peak times here in the summer. Their outdoor seating features a few chairs and tables, which can get competitive and a little hectic, but once you snag a table you'll be glad you stuck it out. If you haven't had soft serve in a while, it's probably worth pointing out that if you're getting this on a super hot day, it's going to start melting pretty much immediately since this spot is basically outdoors. If you want your ice cream to have a longer shelf life, head over for some hard ice cream across the street at Ample Hills. One star off because the price is still so shocking to me, but I guess that's just a sign of the times. read more

The Lido Beach location is way better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The quality here was off[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], as was staff professionalism and cleanliness.

I wanted to love this place after all the hype but the ice cream really fell flat. It's OK soft serve, but not great. I wouldn't recommend it as a first pick for ice cream. read more

Marvel Frozen Dairy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Queens, New York

FYI- The shop is not on 30th Ave., but around the corner on 37th St. I was walking up and down the block on the Avenue looking for it, and Google maps also places it at the center of the block, where The Grand and Sugar Freak is. I was wondering if it was a pop-up situation inside one of those restaurants. But just turn the corner around The Grand restaurant. Staff was very friendly, samples are on on a regular spoon. The samples are pretty big, a hearty 1.5 teaspoon. I LOVE pistachio ice cream & theirs was pretty tasty. The ice cream is about a medium heavy creamy texture. Some soft serve (ie. Ice cream trucks) are a little bit too heavy and creamy for my palette. I think Marvel it's just heavy enough, but shows the quality with the flavors with a pop. I got the strawberry and pistachio twist in a small cup $5. The small was a pretty big portion. The flavors were very tasty! I wouldn't have thought of mixing the two. Other twist options included mango and vanilla birthday cake, and other flavors I don't remember, maybe a peanut butter and banana. Too bad that the twist combinations are already preset by the way the machines are filled, for example I couldn't get a strawberry and chocolate twist. But I think that's a standard for most soft serve places. Nice option for Astoria! read more

I passed by this ice cream place with lines and people eating it outdoors. I had to look it up and found out that it is fairly new and the customers are all raving about it. I had to check it out. They have variety of desserts that you can order such as soft serve, sundaes, shakes and etc... I got the soft serve after taste testing a few. The samples were fairly huge too. Tasted the vanilla - birthday cake one and the strawberry flavors. They also had toppings, but didn't want to deal with it and just eat it without. Anyways, I enjoyed both and can't wait to go back for another visit in the near future. read more

I've going to Marvel since I was a little kid. Always a treat having the best soft serve in the world. The service is always quick with a smile. Nothing like getting a brown bonnet and sitting in the parking lot or now on the boardwalk and enjoying it. I do recommend getting a cup rather than a cone, cause in the warm weather it melts fast. read more

-good quality ice cream, tried the chocolate and vanilla swirl with half cookie (crunchies) toppings and half sprinkles -the ice cream itself was standard (hard to mess up the basic flavors!) -sprinkles are more waxy in texture so not my fave, but the crunchies topping was nice -cute outdoor seating set up, no indoor seating I believe -prices are steep but that's the case in most places anyway :( read more

Marvel ice cream is a great place to enjoy soft served ice cream on a nice summer night. They have plenty of interesting flavors. The portions are generous and The prices are reasonable for the portions they give. My favorites are the strawberry and vanilla but I'm looking to try the dulce de leche on my next visit. Definitely a worth while visit if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Waste. Got sick from what we ate although we threw most of it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Grade is PENDING for the dirty establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As the girl passed us the cups, we noticed her black dirty nails as she passed us cups that were dirty and covered in stuff that didn't even belong to our order. So disgusting!!!!!!!! read more

4.5/5. Decided to grab something sweet after brunch and passed by this place and I ordered a medium vanilla soft serve in a cone. The soft serve was extremely creamy and had a very strong milky flavor. The cone was unfortunately a little stale though. I like how they gave a lot even though it was only a medium! Will come back next time if I'm in the area but may get the waffle cone instead! read more

Returned to bring more of the family. Size small is the perfect size for us. Only 8 flavors that day, same as the ones they had before. No marshmallow. I did say I wanted to try the pomegranate/mango but craved the creamy coffee/dulce de leche again. I did get a taste of the fruity twist - like a sorbet/gelato, was good too. I might get tired of the flavors so hope they plan to have new ones. read more

Really not good! The flavoring was very artificial. I foolishly got the pistachio even after trying the flavors. Ironically, the small is supposed to be $5. But I was charged $5.20 with tax. I'm assuming that the small is $5.20, but the menu was not updated. I asked the "kids" at the stand serving ice cream and they just said it was tax. I have worked food and retail for so many years but have never been dismissive of people. I was like okay, but I doubt I would come back. I came here after eating super good Thai food and was super super disappointed. I understand that it's not a professional ice cream store, but I immediately see why it was only worth it during the grand opening for the $2 special. I rather pay a little more money, but get something better in Manhattan. read more

Almost $6 for a small cup of soft swerve ice cream. Ice cream feels so expensive these days, but it was a decent amount and pretty good. Got the pistachio and strawberry swirl flavor. They also had peanut butter and banana, chocolate and vanilla, mango and vanilla birthday cake as other swirl flavors. I did want pistachio and the strawberry goes well. This is your place for some classic soft serve. read more

Saturday was a great day for ice cream. After breakfast at Family Corner I headed to 30th Ave to try out the new soft serve ice cream parlor. There is no indoor seating as the place is very small, but there was some outdoor seating curbside. I arrived around 2.30pm and watched the last minute preparations. It seemed to take forever for them to open up as a group of very excited children started clamoring at the window only to find out that the creamery was not open yet! I sat at one of the tables and watched the owner teaching what appeared to be very young employees on how to swirl the ice cream cones, and use the cash register -you can see this in some of the photos here! Promptly at 3pm the windows were opened and we all made a beeline to the three serving windows. Those of us who showed up first were the first to be served. I ordered a cup with two scoops of mango, strawberry and coconut sprinkles I was served in window one. A longer line began at 3pm and went down most of 37th street. The flavors were delicious, not too sweet and not too soft. I was served in window one.The flavors were delicious, not too sweet and not too soft. Marvel's scoops come in different size cones and cups. As I was taking lots of photos, I ordered a small cup, Yes, $2.00, not bad. Marvel's options are displayed on a chalkboard at the back of the parlor. Currently, they were offering a limited number of ice creams which included mango, strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla. I think there was a vegan option? read more

Delicious soft serve! They have a variety of flavors to choose from and if you get it in a cup, they'll also do two flavors for you. We got the watermelon, pistachio, and coffee. The watermelon was light and fruity and delightful! The coffee was very creamy and almost reminded me of custard. Can't wait to go back and try the other flavors! read more

Super nice service. Fair price for the amount of ice cream given no matter the size of the cup. You can get multiple flavors in a twist (if they're on the same machine) or just two separate pumps in the same cup. Would 100% try other flavors! read more

Hmmmmm, how can you go wrong with Marvel? You can't. You want ice cream? Fro yo? Sprinkles? Classic. Puts a smile on your face. It is all delicious, lines move fast, service is great. You must try it at least once in your life but when you do, you will probably dreaming about going back. read more

I love soft serve ice cream. There's something about a soft serve on a waffle cone that is so nostalgic to me. So when I found out that Marvel Frozen Dairy was opening up, I hopped right on it! They have many options for customers to choose from so I decided to sample them. First of all, the sample sizes? HUGE. A normal person can sample 2-3 of the flavors and be satisfied. But, I'm not a normal person so I decided on a cup of pistachio ice cream. If you're familiar with pistachio ice cream, you'd know that not every ice cream place will do it correctly. Sometimes it'll taste like almond extract, and I've heard some people say it tastes like cherries. But Marvel does pistachio ice cream REALLY well. It had light pistachio notes, it was super creamy and custard-like, and sweet. I also tried their vegan mango and it was so refreshing and light. I'd say if you want something creamy and you're not extremely hot, try the pistachio! But if you want something to cool you down on a blazing hot day, try the vegan mango! read more

Really annoyed! When I got there there was no one behind the counter. After a few minutes a guy comes out to the counter and says can I give him a second.

Yum yum yum! I stopped by Marvel after spotting it on my walk. Marvel is just a counter that serves ice cream but there's seats on the side of the road where people can sit. I ordered the banana/peanut butter soft serve swirl. The banana tasted artificial (kind of like laffy taffy) but it hit the spot with its rich, creamy texture. The peanut butter flavor was not as strong as I expected but overall, I left pretty satisfied with the soft serve I received! read more
