Finally came to Ralph's after recommendation from a friend and I don't think there is anything not to like. There are so many different flavor combinations and the staff is so friendly! We asked for a sample, and she even recommended another sample to try. We ended up getting a small sour apple and passion fruit ($5 each). Sour apple was not too sour and the passion fruit was strong. The icy texture was smooth. Will definitely come more often to try other flavors during the hot seasons! read more

So many different flavor combinations and friendly service - this place is AMAZING. Buy 1 Get 1 Twister on Tuesdays. The Twister is my favorite item, it's Italian ice layered in between soft serve ice cream. If you enjoy root beer floats, you need to try this out: ask for a Twister with Root Beer water ice and Vanilla soft serve. It's better than a root beer float because you can keep the flavors separate or mix them together and experiment with the ratio of root beer to vanilla ice cream. Plus the mouthfeel of slight crunch of the Italian ice and smoothness of the soft serve is unbeatable. It's all about the mouthfeel. read more

Another great place to indulge yourself on a hot summer day. This is like a cool-SPA for your mouth. It's another Ices place to go to when someone makes you hot, Feeling hot? No problem, come here and cool down! Feeling angry? Don't worry, come here and cool off. Feeling sexy? No worries, come here and open your wallet! They got everything for you. You don't believe it? I got twisted pineapple vanilla ices that I never knew would find at this place. Mommy got her strawberry and Hubby had his vanilla chip ices. My pineapple was so twisted that I really finished it in less than a min! What's your favorite? read more

Ralph's has been my family's go to place to get Italian ices for years. They are only open seasonally so every Summer we go as often as we can. This location is small but really clean. There's a cute little bench in front where you can sit and enjoy your purchases. The staff is friendly and efficient. Sometimes, I go overboard and order too many items. This is kind of dangerous as they only take cash. They have a huge menu and every visit I spend about five minutes looking at it. And even though they offer a ton of options and varieties, I usually only ever order my favorites...watermelon or blood orange ices. So delicious and refreshing. It doesn't have that artificial taste like some Italian ices have. Other items on the menu are milk shakes, ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, sundaes and icai bowls. They have a lot of sugar free items as well. We love Ralph's and we'll continue to come but I have noticed that prices have steadily gone up. Sigh, I guess that's not too surprising in NYC. read more

I wish I lived closer to this Ralph's. I absolutely love coming here to grab something cold and delicious, especially during those really hot days during the summer. The inside has a few seats in the front but most of the place is used to store all the different flavors of flavored ice. My favorite is definitely the soft serve. It is incredibly thick and smooth. On Tuesdays, you can come with a friend and you both can get a Twister for the price of one. It's the soft serve with a water ice that you can put in the middle. It is really tasty! I also really love the strawberry cheesecake creme ice. It has chunks of actual cheesecake in it. A great place to go if you want to try different flavors of ice cream! read more

So much nostalgia walking in here! They stayed open during the pandemic and it was an easy experience. The flavors are endless and they still keep up the look they had since they opened. Classic spots for ices and ice cream in the heart of whitestone. read more

You can pick from so many options! I didn't even know where to start. Since I don't travel to queens that much I wanted to get a little bit of everything. Started off with their Ralph's sandwich. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have anymore waffles in an early afternoon. Their other options were cookie, pound cake and pancake. I went with cookies for my chocolate chip fudge ice cream. You can also heat up your Ralph's sandwich and get a drizzle on top. If you like fruity pebbles, you should try their fruity pebble milkshake. I just thought their straw was a little too thin for their milkshake. It was kind of hard drinking it. Obviously since you're at an Italian ice place, you had to order one. They have four sizes (kiddie, small, medium or large) . I tried their blue Hawaii which is basically blue raspberry and their root beer. Planning to come back here again to try more from their menu. read more

3.5 stars Ralph's is quite popular, so I decided to give it a try while I was around the neighborhood. There is a variety of different flavors, almost to the point where I had choice overload (good thing!). I tried the orange soda and vanilla combo, cherry flavor, and pina colada. They were all decent, but I didn't particularly love any of them. The main downside was that you can't do split flavors in one cup. When asking the worker which were the popular flavors, he basically lists out almost all of them haha. If I were to come back, I would try a fruity flavor. read more

The best ices in the 5 boros hands down the GOAT. Also awesome customer service 5 stars all around. read more

This is hands down our favorite Ralph's location. Just a block down from Christina's and a short drive from Target so it's conveniently located to all my go to places. The staff here are super sweet, friendly, and very helpful. If you're indecisive like me, they are more than happy to recommend you something or let you do a taste test. You'll have many options to choose from and if you can't decide feel free to mix up flavors. read more

My favorite place to be all summer long. Such great flavors, so many varieties between cream ices, water ices, sugar free ices, milk shakes, ice cream sundaes and my absolute favorite Açaí bowls. They have the best açaí bowl. Super Friendly staff, great portions, and good prices. read more

Blue Hawaii, Mango, Cotton Candy, and Bubble gum are my go to! I look forward to when they open in the spring to start my weekly trips all summer long! The one down side is that there is rarely any parking out front, but there's plenty of street parking! read more

Such a great friendly staff my go to is the sugar free mint chip I pretty much have one every week it's so good

There are a lot of flavors and they taste good. I live close to here and the one on bell has closed so I go here more often now. I've seen the same owner for years. Better prices than pessos. read more

I haven't tried the iced yet. but the ice cream was full of flavors. I dont want to name other ice cream brands. but Ralph beat them to it. you will not be disappointed. I will update you when I taste the Italian ice in the summer. too cold to taste it, I will be shivering instead of concentrating on the flavors. read more

Ralphs Famous Italian Ices is a staple to my summers! They are only open seasonal. So get it while you can. There are way to many flavor choices. I keep saying to myself that I am going to try a new flavor but I keep going to my 2 favs: vanilla chip and chocolate peanut butter. Both of these are from the cream ices list. More reasons why I love Ralph's: *Several different size options *Many flavor options *They serve you very quickly *Better alternative to eating ice cream in terms of fat and calories *Very friendly staff This location in particular has a couple of benches outside if you want to sit there and enjoy your summer treat! I do feel like the prices went up a lot from last summer but then again what isn't expensive anymore in NY! read more

Love the different flavors of i ears. But they are currently closed fir the season now

This ice cream is so good that whenever I try it my mouth gets so watery like it's so good do you taste like some good stuff like let's say eight and it doesn't take them long to make it everything is fine there's no there's never nothing my friend met one of my friends go there and then you spell always like to tell me all of that that was so good that I still go with the first time I ever tried the cappuccino ice see it was so good that I fell in love with you read more

Ah where to begin. I guess I could begin by saying I wish Ralph's was open 24/7, 365, but we all know the sad truth there! I love Ralph's. During the summer, I probably frequent Ralph's at least once a week, sometimes more. One of my favorite flavors here has to be the peanut butter cookie dough. Oh. My. God. Amazing. Such a true peanut butter flavor and the chunks of peanut butter cookie dough are incredible. This flavor might be better than many of life's delicacies. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I also really like the plain old chocolate, graham cracker, vanilla fudge brownie, cookie dough, and chocolate Oreo. They're all so creamy and flavorful and never "icy"...if that makes sense. I can't wait to make my first trip to Ralph's very soon !! read more

This place sucks. TOTALLY overrated. All hype. This is NOTHING compared to the ices I had in Assisi. Even New Orleans had better ices. DISAPPOINTED! read more

Out of all the Ralph's Ices locations I've been too, this one is the best! There's always parking available, the place is kept clean and they never run out of my favorite flavors. This spot is family-owned and has a friendly and enthusiastic staff who never make me feel rushed to quickly place my order to move on. I definitely will be back! read more

Ralph's is a classic. Consistently delicious and this location is no different. Great to have a Ralph's locally. But I hate when businesses reflect incorrect information. Closing up shop earlier than advertised is a huge inconvenience. We trust the Store Hours you're posting. And especially here on Yelp - a major source of where people look for info. Disappointed when you take the time to go somewhere - and they close early unexpectedly. read more

Amazingly good as always. Grew up eating it in Staten Island. Nice that they have more locations.

My friend Kristina posted it was open so I had to bring my daughter and try it. I LOVE it! I had the strawberry twister and my daughter had the cotton candy ice. So good! Taking some home to the hubs and FIL. Will definitely be coming back read more

I think they are the best in the neighborhood! Friendly staff and great ices with parking! I love Vanilla Chip and this is one of the few places where I can bank on getting ALOT of chocolate chips in the vanilla! ::heavenly:: read more
