Looking for a way to beat the heat this summer? These local frozen dessert shops have you covered.

Nothing says summer quite like a delicious frozen treat, and Long Island is home to some of the best independent dessert shops around. You never have to travel far to find high-quality ice cream, milkshakes, sundaes, and more. Our real estate agents always associate our local dessert shops with beautiful summer weather.

Cooling off with a frozen dessert is a great way to spend time with the family. If you're searching for a place to grab an after-dinner or after-the-game treat this summer, we made a quick list of the top frozen dessert destinations around Long Island.

  • Ice Cream Social - 1153 Jericho Turnpike, Commack, NY 11725
    While Ice Cream Social serves about 35 different flavors at a time, their overall catalog features well over 200 options, so it's always worth stopping back to see what's available. With artisanal small-batch flavors, classic flavors, boozy flavors, and vegan options, there is truly something for everyone. Enjoy your treat inside in the air-conditioned seating area. Custom cakes, novelties, and chocolates are also available. 

  • Old Fashioned Ice Cream - 1025 Straight Path, West Babylon, NY 11704
    This family-owned and operated ice cream shop has served Long Island for over 50 years. Old Fashioned Ice Cream has an ever-changing menu of soft-serve flavors, cakes, pies, shakes, and more. With a huge selection of toppings, it's easy to customize your own dessert. While there is no indoor or outdoor seating, there is a nice parking lot where you can pop open the trunk and enjoy your cone. With a wide selection, affordable prices, and friendly staff, it's easy to see why this shop is so popular.

  • Marvel Frozen Dairy - 258 Lido Blvd, Lido Beach, NY 11561
    Indulge in soft-serve ice cream, vegan ice cream, or non-fat frozen yogurt with your favorite toppings at this iconic Long Beach ice cream parlor. Marvel Frozen Dairy is a window-service shop located right on the beach, so you can watch the waves roll in while enjoying your dessert. Portions are huge, and the shop is cash-only; however, there is an ATM on site. You'll also love the fact that this ice cream parlor is just minutes away from some of the very best Long Beach homes for sale.

  • Moolala Frozen Yogurt - 1664 Merrick Rd, Merrick, NY 11566
    Custom frozen yogurt, smoothies, and acai bowls can be found at Moolala Frozen Yogurt, one of the best Fro-yo shops on Long Island. With so many flavors and toppings, the combinations are endless, and the ingredients are high-quality. This shop is just a few minutes away from some of our favorite Merrick homes for sale.

  • Gelateria dei Coltelli - 615 Willis Ave, Williston Park, NY 11596
    If fresh sorbet or handcrafted Italian gelato made with local dairy products sounds good, head over to Gelateria dei Coletelli. This shop has tons of rich and creamy flavors as well as gelato sandwich cookies, gelato pops, crepes, and milkshakes. If you need a pick-me-up, you can order a drink from the full coffee and espresso bar. Enjoy your coffee or dessert outside on the covered patio.

Ready to satisfy your sweet tooth? Long Island's unbeatable dessert scene is just another thing that makes summer so much fun. Contact us today to start your home search.
