Stopped by this charming ice cream shop after dinner for a sweet treat, and it did not disappoint! The place has a nostalgic, old-school vibe with an impressive selection of classic and seasonal flavors. With so many options to choose from, I stuck with my all-time favorites--cookie dough and butter pecan--and they were absolutely delicious! A perfect, sweet way to wrap up the evening.

Great flavors of ice cream to choose from. Don't worry about a line of people waiting, it moves quickly.

We were next door for lunch at Funchos so it's a no brainer to walk over for iced cream after! Great service despite the long line and isn't much more than an old ice cream shop but it was delicious. A tad expensive (3 ice creams for $23) but really really good treat for rare trips out east.

Be prepared to wait in line to get your ice cream fix. The soft-serve is rich and dense and one of the best soft-serve sundaes that I have had on the island - chocolate syrup is rich, sweet and thick and it's topped with a pirouette cookie. Traditional hard ice cream is equally good, with a nice selection of flavors. Great place for a favorite summer treat. Stop by next time you're out east!

Long Islands best ice cream. Perfect location when heading east to stop off just off the LIE between the forks. Ingredients and flavor are tops.

If you know, you know. Snowflake has cracked the code on how to create the perfect homemade ice cream consistency. I have no idea what they put in this ice cream to get it as creamy and decadent as it is, but it just hits different than any other ice cream I've tried. If you're coming here during the summer season be prepared to wait in line, but I promise it'll be worth it. Snowflake has a roster of signature flavors, including a few you may have never heard of that are proprietary to them like the Black Magic Woman (chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips, chocolate fudge and possibly some other chocolate thing I'm missing). That and the cherry pistachio (pistachio ice cream with black cherry chunks) are my two go-tos. They have a rotating special flavor, last week when I went it was a Rainbow Cookie ice cream which was delicious, but felt like I was cheating on my signature flavors. That said, if you're coming to Snowflake, do it the right way. Ask for samples, but don't hold the line up with your decision making. Tip the hardworking kids who are scooping here day in and day out. Try not to get too hung up on the price. If you're looking for a better value, order two pints to get their discount. The ambiance here is casual, it's a walk up counter with no seating at all, so prepare to enjoy your treat elsewhere -- bonus points if you're courteous enough to give up your parking spot and find somewhere else with a view to devour it, since this parking lot gets packed.

During our weekend in Riverhead, we managed to visit this place twice. Thank goodness we don't live too close. Their homemade ice cream isn't as sweet as the store bought. It's closer to gelato, creamy. I had the Black magic lady. It's a chocolate lovers' dream. It's dark chocolate and not sugary. Felt less guilty, even though their small was a packed double scoops. The staff is very friendly with a good sense of humor. Love and hate. Love the ice cream, hate my waistline.

Solid ice-cream spot in Riverhead! I tried pistachio cherry and black raspberry in my small sized cup. The scopes of each flavor were huge. The total was ~$6.75 though so I think it is on the higher end for creameries. The spot was definitely busy but I got lucky with a short line when I reached. I enjoyed the flavors. The staff were friendly and allowed me to sample a few flavors too. Get the lid for your cup so you can have some ice-cream later! It was too much for me to have in one go (and I love ice cream and firmly believe in having a second stomach for dessert!)

As always, we could not pass up a visit to Snowflake. Ice cream is my krytonite! This time I tried the Cookie Monster and really liked it. My gal had the flavor of the week, Caffeinated Turtle, coffee ice cream with caramel, pecans, and dark chocolate flakes. It was delicious. A few weeks ago they had Polish Blackberry Brandy ice cream which was terrific. The flavor of the week specials are always pretty darn good, as is their regular flavors.

Discovered this local ice cream shoppe a few years back and have coming back ever since. Pictures are from my many visits. Their homemade ice cream is unique with flavors like Peconic Swamp Thing, Black Magic Woman, Cookie Monster, and Cotton Candy. Of course, you can find the usual fan-favorite flavors of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint chocolate chip and cookie dough. The Peconic Swamp Thing and Black Magic Woman and Peanut Butter Cup Crunch are my favorites. Service is friendly despite it always being busy regardless of what time of year or day it is. They also have soft serve ice cream, shakes, sundaes and cakes! They even have ice cream for your fur baby dogs. If you're looking to sit to eat your ice cream, there are limited benches and tables. We usually eat in the car. But we're not here for the ambiance, we're here for the ice cream. For the cone sizes prices are reasonable and the ice cream is creamy and delicious! You'll be happy and satisfied. An ice cream lover's delight for sure.
