While wandering the Bronx, we were on the hunt for a nice dessert we could take on the go. When we spotted this store, we could tell we were taking a step back in time, but in a good way. Food & Service: 5/5 The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, especially when it came to my lactose intolerance. They guided me on what I could eat, and everything was pretty affordable. We got some ices, chocolates, and a pastry'. The ambiance felt like a delightful step into the past, which was really fun to experience. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely go back! read more

Teresa's - Cookies and creme and coconut Italian ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bronx, New York

Small neighborhood spot with many flavors of ice cream and house made water ice. After an entire day of eating pizza the water ice drew me in. I was stuffed but needed something sweet and water ice is a favorite so I couldn't and didn't resist. It sits next to a pretty popular pizza shop - Louie and Ernie's so I'm sure they get a lot of traffic. It was busy while we were there and while I only had the ice, I would go back for it. It hit the spot and the service was quick and friendly. Several options for sizes displayed for ease of ordering and while I didn't take the time in the crowded store to peruse there appeared to be quite a variety of cookies and chocolates available as well. read more

This place is adorable! We got some Italian ices here and some cookies. Ices were great cookies were really tasty. The selection is unbelievable. Every kind of sweet you could possibly desire. I'll be back to try them all! read more

Teresa's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bronx, New York

Very good. The cookies are good. Very cozy vibe. Quick service. I don't know what else to say.

I want to first say that the owner of this place is awesome. She takes pride in her business. Unfortunately, the two young ladies that work there has made my last visit with my family a very unpleasant experience. Disregard that we were standing there and took another persons order that walked in after because they were alone. They were clearly showing how annoyed they were with customers walking in because I guess they had to "work". It was so bad that my family and I expressed how rude they were and walked out. Terrible customer service, not attentive at all and a very bad attitude! I hope the owner reevaluates who she has working behind that counter when she is not there because she is losing business. read more

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Some cookies and then ice cream but yes, mostly chocolate. I loved anything raspberry filled, but otherwise would give this place a pass. Traditional baking and all sounds good at first but when you're met by customer service that makes you want to second guess the fun all together, it just spoils whatever sugar they were trying to share.... Anyway, won't be headed back until we see a Pride (LGBTQIA) flag in the doorway. These folks downright scoffed at us the entire time we patroness their business... read more

I stumbled on this place while picking up pizza from Louie & Ernie's Pizza, which is right next door. They have a HUGE selection of really good tasting deserts, cookies, brownies, cakes, pastries, cannolis and even icies. Family run business, the ladies working there were very professional & friendly. They have another location in Yonkers on Tuckahoe RD. I already can't wait to go back and try some new stuff here. read more

Their cannolis were great. They filled them after we ordered them, and they were stuffed. Also ordered a brownie to take home and that was fantastic too. They had so many other sweets that I know I'll be back soon. The space is small but very homey,and the service was super quick once we figured out what we wanted to order. read more

Quaint location for delicious goodies freshly baked...and the Italian ices are absolutely delicious owner and her staff very friendly courteous...would highly recommend this location... read more

So happy to have found this gem! I'm always here for the brownies and honestly hands down, they have the BEST brownies I have ever experience in my entire life (and I make some pretty darn good ones myself lol). I mean it's just this delicious goodness goddess of a brownie that's so perfectly made! Firm on the bottom for hold, soft moist, and chewy in the middle with what seems to be bits and pieces of chopped-up chocolate chips, and then the top is beautifully made flaky to perfection! Oh did I forget to mention, without knowing I always get there right when they are cutting up a fresh new batch? Ugh! So in love. I mean it's just a blessing every single time I'm there to purchase one of these! Oh, wait before I forget, and the SIZE!! The size of that brownie makes me believe in the SIZE DOES MATTER movement!! Man oh, man! So worth it. read more

Teresa's - Only the best brownie in history! Okay... MAYBE not in history but I'm more than sure it's the best brownie in The Bronx! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bronx, New York

Cute little spot next to the most amazing pizza shop ever. So, whenever I am in the area, I tend to stop by especially if the weather is warming. They have so many flavors here for their real Italian ices. They have other sweet stuff here too like cannolis but we always get distracted by the ices to even look at something else. This is a great post pizza dessert spot to stop by when you are in the area. Workers are super nice and accommodating to finding you your favorite flavor. read more

Great Italian Ices, especially Lily with Nuts, creamy not too sweet, and full of nutty flavor. Their sfogliatelle is outstanding. Nice flaky crunch rewarded with a center filled with a citrus-flavored ricotta filling. Looking forward to tasting their other treats. read more

Def a 10 out of 10! I got it as a delivery off grub hub and it did not disappoint! My pallet was fully satisfied that's for sure! The Nutella made this mmmmmm read more

Teresa's - "THE BEST BROWNIE IN TOWN TOPPED WITH 3 SWIRLS OF NUTELLA" - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bronx, New York

This hidden gem is located on Crosby Avenue in the Bronx where you can get the best brownie in town. They also sell cookies, cannolis, and Italian ices. You can also grab a slice of pizza next door at Louie and Ernie's, then take the kids down the block to the park. read more

Amazing bakery. We stumbled in one night after getting pizza. To be honest we only went in Bc of a sign outside about their brownies. I had a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and a brownie. Both were very fresh and tasted great. The girls that where working did a great job and were very nice. I will definitely be back. I also hear the cannolis are out of this world. read more

Stopped in after having dinner next door (our usual routine once the weather warms up) and I have to say I'm disappointed. Only spot in the neighborhood I know that sells vanilla chip but today's visit has left me upset. I will like to add this is an Italian neighborhood and we are a Latin family. I Ordered our treats and was served by a woman I can only guess is the owner (usually have young ladies tend to us) well she was very smug, and seemed to not want our business. My toddler was so excited and said how we've been there before and not even a smile from her. After we got our icees we sat outside and I noticed the blinds constantly moving. She was watching us from the blinds! I had my son go in for napkins since my toddler was dripping and she gave him 3 napkins while there was 4 of us, my toddler's icee cup broke and dripped everywhere so I sent in my other son for more napkins and the male (possibly her husband) gave him 1 napkin. My children noticed we were being watched from the window and felt so uncomfortable they asked if we could just walk home because they could see them watching us. I've lived in the area for a while now and this is one of the first times I truly felt the prejudice. read more

The best and ONLY authentic ice shop in pelham bay I can't believe anyone would review this place anything less than 4 or 5 stars The flavors are incredible and are NOT artificial like the garbage that most people grow up on and can bu at 7/11 If you haven't been here you should really give it a try, sample a flavor and you'll be hooked on the texture and flavors here (I didn't know Italian ices could be this good, I too was once use to the crap from me softy) read more

I love the brownies and there cookie cake is to die for. Everything I have had from the raspberry cookies, the peanut butter squares, ice cream etc is always fresh. A nice sweet place right in the neighborhood. read more

Easily a fan of this place. Conveniently located right next to Louie & Ernie's Pizza which in my opinion serves up some of the best pizza in the Bronx. Perfect place to stop in after knocking out a few slices. They have a lot of things to satisfy your sweet tooth. Ice's, ice cream, and pastries. Too much to choose from, but we ended up with a rainbow ice and some chocolate chip cookies. Both were great. Chocolate chip cookies were a bit on the cake-ish side though. Brownies looked great and will definitely be on my "to-try" list next time. Prices seemed good-fair, not expensive by any means. Service was great. Very helpful and friendly. Will definitely try again. Also a few chairs and a sun umbrella out in front for convenience. read more

Great cannolis and other baked goods. Have yet to try their Italian Icees but I'm sure they're just as delish as everything else!

Ever hit a joint because Yelp is abuzz with praise and immediately afterward hate them because somehow you feel like you've been led astray? And it's not Yelp's fault of course but you never want to see, read or hear another person's misguided recommendation again?! "Fools" you think. And you're left scratching your head, counting the numerous ways your money could've been better spent and thinking to yourself "I don't get it." I bookmarked this sweet spot the moment I got word of mouth because it was described by people seemingly in the know as if it were a little slice of heaven. Tonight is a beautiful evening. A perfect time to indulge in some authentic Italian treats. Yeah. Tonight, that didn't happen. The place is quaint although pretty tight. Maybe 5-7 people can stand inside comfortably and wait to place their order. That's not a bother. Like describing a home as "cozy" automatically implies its small size, the word "quaint" does the same thing. But that's not a bad thing. It lends to its charm. This was my first time there. Now this isn't some chain establishment. It's not like I'm walking into McDonald's with a meal in mind because I already know what they offer. It is one of the few perfectly acceptable times in an eatery to look around and take a beat to pore over the menu and think "Hmm. What should I have?" Everything on display looked so inviting. The more choices, the longer it'll take to make up your mind. So to have someone behind the counter appear unfriendly and impatient while you take it in, albeit appreciatively, is a problem. In life, a sweet shop is one of the last places where you'd imagine feeling under the gun. Seriously? An ice or an ice cream pressure test? I don't think so. Now, some time ago a co-worker gave me the gift of Italian lace cookies. It was my first time trying these and I was floored. Sweet but not too sweet. Buttery but chocolatey. Crisp in appearance but deliciously chewy in mouth-feel. A cookie so delicate-looking as to be called a "lace" cookie. A melt-in-your-mouth, sublime treat. It hit all sides of my mouth with such a blend of flavors and textures, I couldn't wait to get my hands on more. When I saw them behind the display tonight, I was excited to experience the same thing. I went all in too. Not one cookie. Not 2 cookies. I bought 10. I wasn't messing around. I also sprung for a coconut ice. First, the coconut ice. The appearance was appealing enough. Like a cup of marshmallow fluff. But the taste? There was hardly any. Too painfully light in coconut flavor to satisfy, not cool enough to be refreshing and too tinny in aftertaste to not linger in an unpleasant way. Into the waste bin it went. But this is the best part. The cookie that had been haunting me in a good way since the day I tasted it. This wasn't it. The smell of the cookie was as artificial as the taste. A piece of chocolate-dipped cardboard. I have never in my half century on this planet eaten a dessert and spit it out into a napkin. Never! Take that in for a second. A cookie so foul that your body actually rejects it. Didn't even know such a thing was possible! It actually made me sad. It's like having a crap time at an amusement park. How does that happen?! Now, I'm not a person who needs her dessert to be overly sweet. That's actually kind of a turn off. Too disgustingly rich can be overwhelming to the palate. But delicate in flavor it wasn't. That implies an intentional finesse this cookie didn't convey. In the end, into the waste bin 9-1/2 cookies went, to keep the only slightly less offensive ice some company. "Ineffable" is one of those funky words with 2 meanings; one good and one bad. The good? Incapable of being expressed in words; indescribable, as in "ineffable joy". The bad? Unspeakable, as in "ineffable disgust." Tonight was ineffable. The second kind. What words would you use to describe a dessert or even a savory meal? Decadent. Luxurious. Velvety. Delicious. Indulgent. Sinful. Delightful. A guilty pleasure. None of these descriptors apply. I don't know about anyone else but I never want to taste a dessert and grimace while wondering "What is that taste? I can't put my finger on it." Well I did put my finger on it and I wish I hadn't. read more

Thisis the spot for REAL italian ices, not that marino's garbage you get in the yellow cup with the wooden "spoon." Teresa's is legit, it is a tiny little store right next to Louie & Ernie's pizza and if you go in you will see all sorts of gelati, ices, biscotti, cannolli all of which are fresh made. This is my new go-to spot for getting some sweets. Very highly recommended! read more

Great little spot that offers ice cream, Italian ice, gelato, and sweets. Many of the ices are unique to the store, including tiramisu ice. The s'mores on a stick was great as was the peanut butter chocolate cookie. I believe they also have espresso and coffee, both of which in looking forward to next time I visit. The staff was extremely friendly and the cafe is well maintained. read more

Came in after having a slice next door. The gentleman was so lovely, altho I think I interrupted his own pizza session. He was alone and I understand he has to do it all! Hehe anyway I purchased a cannoli and I think it's cool how they fill it in front of you. I also ordered a vanilla cone for the child. The scoop was a bit overwhelming for my toddler but the gentleman was so very kind and offered a cup and spoon. I would've gladly paid for one but it was so nice for him to just offer. The ice cream itself was delicious and creamy. We happily ate it on our way home. The cannoli was delicious as well but it just crumbled up as I took it out of its bag when I was ready to eat it. I ate it in pieces and it was still yum but I wanted that satisfaction of taking a big bite out of the thing! (You all know what I mean too!) We will be back. read more

What a nice little store. I stopped in for dessert after polishing off some slices next door at Lenny and Ernie's. They have ice cream, ices, gelato, some baked goods, chocolates and a dam good cannoli..... filled fresh. The counter girl was a sweetheart to. Very nice and friendly. This was my first visit to this section of the Bronx. Pretty nice area! read more

The cotton candy Italian ices are TO DIE FOR! These are just so tasty. They remind me of the ices when I visited Italy! Prices are good compared to the city but the quality is tremendous. I highly recommend this place! read more

Looooooove this place. I love coming here during the weekend with my family, it's a really small place, so it's not a place to hang out with your friends. They have both ice cream and Italian ices and they're all really good. Some of my faves are cannoli, lilly with nuts, cookies and cream and cream chip. The staff is really friendly. If you want to cool down with something delicious, come here! Oh yeah and they have baked goodies and cannolis!!!!!! They're all great. read more

This place is a cute and homey dessert shop. Service is leisurely and may be a little pricier for some. But it's worth it. They fill you cannoli to order, have fresh milkshakes, a variety of homemade ice creams, sorbets, and Italian ices along with baked goods. Staff is friendly if you chat them up but not super knowledgable about what they offer for parties and events. Also on occasion there's an older woman who works there and doesn't know how to process debit and credit card payments so you can either wait for her to call for further instructions or just run across the street to the convenience store and use the ATM machine. I've tried the cappuccino ice cream, watermelon ice, and brownie: all delicious. read more

THIS IS THE CUTEST SPOT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! They have so many options for treats and sweets. The shop is cute and small. They have a small seating area (literally two tables two seats each). They sell juices, pudding cups, and water as well. The smores bar is so YUMMY. It was essentially a smores (two) on a stick covered in chocolate. They sell gelato and ice cream of many different flavors. They also have cookies and I believe cakes. The prices are not bad for the variety of sweets they have. Think one stop sweet stop. The location is very far especially if you dont live in the area. But it is a spot worth venturing out for. I would definitely recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth or need to buy sweets for your sweet (lol). read more

I used to come in here, before I decided to become vegan, and get a strawberry milkshake almost every other day. Holy cow they are so good. I can't say much about their desserts but their ice cream and milkshakes are amazing. $5 last I checked read more

Not the delicious old Italian ices from the Bronx I used to love. Lemon ice was blah, not enough lemon flavor but biggest let down was the chocolate ice which had such little flavor. read more

Delicious ice cream and homemade cookies today! Thank you Teresa! You have an adorable place with so many scrumptious looking options. We will be back to try other flavors! I appreciated you have trained your customers to safely social distance and wisely limit the number of people coming in at the same time. Also that you have placed a couple chairs out front for us to sit and enjoy our treats and admire the lovely flowers in your planters. read more

This place is great! My wife and I got the strawberry cheesecake and mud pie ice creams. Both of which were really good! It's a small shop but a must try. read more

Great spot for ice cream! My boyfriend had a craving for ice-cream. We had to find a nearby location since the Carvel on Westchester Ave closed down a few months. Only a 5 minute drive away from my apartment. We both got butter pecan, he got his in a cup and mine was in a waffle cone. There were many flavors to choose from as well as other sweet treats. My boyfriend was a little disappointed because he really wanted soft serve, as far as that goes we'll have to continue searching. read more

Pretty good fresh filled cannoli here. And the ice cream is ok too. Nothing too special, but a good place to get dessert after pizza next door. read more

Scrumdiddlyumptious. Best ice cream joint in this part of town. Tiny hole in the wall. Satisfies ze sweet tooth

Got a good old-fashioned chocolate ice cream cone and my friend got the fresh cannoli. She said it was delicious. The guys in line behind us like what we got so much that they ordered the same thing and they were raving about how great it was as well. Convenient location with easy street parking. I wish they had outdoor tables to enjoy a nice sunny day with an ice cream cone read more

After a less-than-stellar slice experience at Louie & Ernie's next door, Teresa's provided redemption in the form of a crimped paper cup full of my favorite elusive italian ice flavor, lily with nuts -- fluffy, creamy, not too sweet, studded with golden almond slivers -- really delicious and totally hit the the spot on a warm summer day. Sweet and old fashioned in the best possible way, with very nice staff. read more
