Comfy home-made ice cream, shakes, and sundaes, run by kindly older ladies. Mostly classic flavors. They're pretty strict on samples (2 only) though. And there's limited seating here (4 bar seats). Got the mint chip. You can definitely tell it's homemade, as it tastes flakier and "warmer", and less artificial and icy than retail ice cream. Not really my type of ice cream to be honest (I'll go for the fake stuff). It's so-so. I'd come back but was slightly disappointed. read more

Loved the ice cream- I went with peanut butter. Not as adventurous, but very good! Two scoops was also less here than I am used to them being in the city, AND I could get two flavors in the smallest cup! I also had to return to get my phone back after accidentally leaving it there, and the server was super sweet. I was so frazzled that I forgot to ask her name :( but I appreciated her holding onto it for me. Good ice cream, good service, and a super cute place! read more

Came here after enjoying crepes for lunch as it's right around the corner. The owner was making fresh Mango sorbet and gave us a taste out of the machine. It was so sweet with a little tang, creamy smooth and delicious. The small is two scoops of ice cream so you can mix and match flavors. They have a small, but good variety of classics (chocolate, vanilla, mint chip), sorbets (guava, lemon lime, etc) and fun favlors (banana pudding, pistachio, etc). Service is friendly and fast.! read more

Small little shop on the corner that is just what was needed on an incredibly hot day. Staff is friendly and offered my pup a free pup cup. He did not decline and absolutely devoured it. There are some unique flavors and staff lets you sample the flavors. I got the Maple Walnut, and it did not disappoint. Would come back and try different flavors. read more

OVERALL/WHAT TO KNOW: -Really good home-made ice cream from a lovely small business. The ice cream reminded me of gelato. ARRIVAL: -I came on a weekday afternoon in September of 2023. There was no line at all. -I only went here because I was walking by, I wanted ice cream, and I noticed that this was a small business that advertised their homemade ice cream. FOOD/DRINK: -I forget what it was called, but I got this dark chocolate flavor with coconut and caramel mixed into it. It might have been called German chocolate. -The flavor was mostly strong and chocolatey with the occasional variation from the little pieces of coconut and caramel. The coconut and caramel added a nice little crunchy texture too. SERVICE: -Server was really friendly and helpful! She gave me good advice when I asked what to get and let my try a few samples. ATMOSPHERE/LAYOUT: -I could not see the digital menu very well because it's very high and it changes every couple seconds so it was hard to see the full flavors list. I could read the flavors easier when I was looking at the labels in the glass display case. I still didn't know what ingredients were in each flavor though. For example, I think mine just said German chocolate and I only knew it had coconut and caramel in it because the server told me. -The layout was simple and straightforward. It's one room with an ice cream display counter towards the left that's connected at a right angle to a service counter with the register on it. -There is a bar up against the window with a handful of stools where people can sit and eat SUGGESTIONS FOR BUSINESS: -It would be great to have a menu that's easier to read and that has a list of what's in each flavor, like a print out or something. read more

Super friendly staff and flavors you don't see everyday. The portions are definitely shareable, which makes the prices slightly less ghastly. A nice environment that is totally worth a bit of a detour on a hot summer day. Highly recommend! read more

I drove past this place twice before I stopped in. I love a small business ice cream shop. The girls that work here are super sweet. And the ice cream was amazing they had all unique flavors. The girls also said they make the waffle cones here... So I definitely go back to try them and try another flavor. read more

Truly the best vanilla soft serve I've ever had. And everyone who works there is incredible. Support this small business and get really good ice cream! read more

Wonderful ice cream! Very creamy and not overly sweet. It was delicious! Only down side was the scoops are quite small for the price.

This new ice cream shop is a welcoming and fun presence on a street of otherwise nondescript storefronts. Employees greeted entering customers. Looks like they serve gelato, ice cream, soft serve. I ordered the below pictured soft serve, which was creamy and delicious, but seemed somewhat sad and dumpy in presentation. Price points seem somewhat high, but I would be willing to give them another try. But seriously, presentation matters! read more

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

Clean, bright store with plenty of places to sit. The selection includes homemade ice cream, home made waffle cones and a unique soft serve that is vanilla with a healthy swirl of orange sherbert. It's as if a Creamsicle twirled into a cup. The portions are well-sized for the price. A double scoop here is less that a single scoop at other shops. The woman who helped us was attentive, personable and knowledgeable. We got the chocolate brownie with bits of brownie in it and the Trudy Fruity which had real cherries in it! The ice cream had a depth of flavor and a great creaminess. We will be back. read more

Best ice cream around. I love this place!!! Highly recommended. Best coffee toffee chip ever!!

The very best ice cream in the neighborhood!! You kinda can't go wrong here and everyone is always very nice.

Great tasting ice cream and friend staff. The small dining room was clean and well lit. They have dipped waffles cones which is a fun treat. I had the peanut butter ice cream which had chucks and a dipped pistachio and chocolate cone. It tasted good. It was a little pricey and at the time they only had 6 flavors and most had no chunks. read more

Really good ice cream, friendly service but man is this place expensive. $10 for one cone with 2 scoops? add tax & tip and its over $12, Shheeesh! read more

We LOVE visiting Trudy's. The owner Steve makes you feel like your walking into his very own home. If he happens to be present, be sure to ask about the backstory and why he opened up this location. In terms of the offerings, the WAFFLE CONES set this place apart. Without exaggeration they are the best I have had anywhere! I am always a ice-cream-in-the cup person, except when I go to Trudy's! An added bonus - they are also dog friendly - so don't be afraid to stop by while on an evening stroll with your dog. read more

They don't have the bacon maple flavored as mentioned on their website - very disappointing. And the staff was not even familiar w/ the flavor - disappointing., I don't think it will last where it is. read more

Excellent vanilla soft serve! Definitely worth a try if you like soft serve, it's a step above the usual soft ice cream.

Milk shake was sub par but they were playing washing machine heart by mitski so overall a win

Delicious ice cream and friendly service. Homemade waffle cones . I love the pistachio ice cream here.

This is seriously some of the best ice cream we've had in New York City. The flavor, the consistency, the presentation, the delicious waffle cone. They don't have a ton of flavors, and the ones they do have are somewhat basic, but the quality and flavor are excellent. We had a scoop of German chocolate and maple walnut, and they were both delicious. Very cute, stylish place with friendly workers and a few sidewalk tables tables make it a very enjoyable place for an ice cream outing . A welcome addition to the neighborhood. Word needs to get out on this place. read more

All my friends know I have a personal vendetta against ice cream shops in cities. They're usually just too expensive and I can't justify the purchase to myself. But not Trudy's. The ice cream was reasonably priced, generously scooped, and delicious! When I came here, the person working even described to me the process of how the ice cream was made. What a cool employee (I mean it!) read more

We were so excited to try a local business but the product was inedible. Though the staff was nice, they clearly didn't know what they offered and when we ordered something they said yes and then told us after that they couldn't make it. We ended up ordering a chocolate shake that tasted like it was blended with water and a cone that has 2 sprinkles in it. We paid $21 for 2 items and we couldn't even eat them. read more

My wife and I just had a fantastic experience at Trudy's! They offer egg-free ice creams which is a must for my wife since she's allergic. The staff were friendly and the store was immaculate. Also, the prices are about half of what you would pay anywhere else in NYC. Please visit and support local NYC businesses! read more

Excellent, high quality ice cream at a great value. Favorite flavors include strawberry, pistachio and German chocolate cake, and the chocolate dipped cones are excellent. Plus, the staff is always super lovely and welcoming! read more

Sweet workers, yummy strawberry ice cream, and super cute inside! We will definitely be back!

poor customer service when I asked about nuts (because I have an allergy). limited ice cream options.

Amazing service, and in my opinion some of the best ice cream in Manhattan! The man serving us was very friendly and brightened our day :)

The flavors were kind of unique, however not that strong. But it's not bad for the price, $4 for an 8oz cup

A neighborhood favorite of mine! The ice cream is always good, soft serve, hard serve, sundaes... all of it! And the waffle cones!! They are made in store and SO good. The owners are lovely and employees always friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more
