    Twister Tuesdays! Buy one get one free only on Tuesdays! We got the: -PBJ icee w/ chocolate & vanilla soft serve -chocolate fudge brownie w/ chocolate & vanilla soft serve One of my go-to places! The staff is always friendly and positive.

    Love root beer floats? Order a Twister with root beer water ice and vanilla soft serve - it's better than a root beer float!!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Still great and friendly service and carrying the full array of flavors and options. During the pandemic they are requiring masks and only allowing 2 ppl in the store at a time, which is appreciated.

    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!

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

    You can never go wrong with the classic rainbow.
    Ces L.

    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.

I am a fan of the pandan flavor desserts and bought two that I wanted to try. One being a roll cake and the other layer cake. The pandan roll cake with taro I was told is a specialty that they only have on weekends. It was really flavorful, moist and spongy, just perfectly touched with a dash of sweetness in both the cake and the cream - I personally don't like overly sweet foods, and this is just perfect for me and my mom. I'm equally pleased with the layer cake as well it was very fresh and have that "QQ" texture - deliciously chewy and bouncy. This too, just hit right for me on the gentle sweetness, the pandan flavor keeping the spotlight in this dessert. My mom and I are big fans of these desserts. We just came back trying out others pandan layer cakes in Downtown Flushing and this shop beats them by a large margin. I hope to come back more when we could even though this shop is quite a distance for us.

The lady who I assume is the boss said she had held a pop-up shop about two years prior which blew up, hence what we see here. The selection here was deceptively small compared to chain bakeries, but it didn't take us long recognise how much power the smaller selection packs and, actually, how the selection really is not small at all. The matcha red bean loaf grabbed my attention straight away and didn't disappoint, but their red bean bun was just as impressive, as it's a more bread-y counterpart to the fluffy versions other bakeries typically have. The onioissant is definitely experimental and worked better on the chive bacon cream cheese one than on the pollack roe, which was a bit too much on the salty and fishy side for my liking. Their chocolate horn is at least twice as big as a typical one you'll find at other bakeries and has a rich dark chocolate filling which was a pleasant surprise. Their coffee brioche pastry was another hit, thanks to the strong coffee filling and delicate layers of pastry. There's ample tables and chairs, beverage menu, and I'm sure we'd come hang if we lived closer. I can't wait to go back.
