NYC Icy

Didn’t open this Summer!

this is a really great place for ices probably one of the best in ny/​bk however there hours are very inconsistent
if they stuck to their schedule i would give them 4 stars

When it’s open, it’s irresistible. I never seem to know when they’ll be open, though. What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with them?

After a nice walk in Prospect Park or going to the BoatHouse or Concert Hall there, you stop by and buy from one of the vastly different flavors and sizes of small, medium, or large. :)
All great prices. Large you can share with someone and its really really great for a pick-​me-​up or hot day!

It’s decent, and the variety is good, but when you order a small for $ 2-​$ 2.50, expect a SMALL small. Think mouthwash cup. The flavors are tasty, but it’s just not worth it. I’d rather hit up Fabio’s or Ralph’s.

I just moved to Kensington from Windsor Terrace. I just tried NYC ICY and it was great. I thought the ices I sampled were fantastic and incredibly diverse. I am looking forward to sampling them and happy to have a business like this in the neighborhood. I highly encourage everyone to try many different flavors. My favorite so far has been lime ice, squeezed by the owner’s son’s fourth grade class.

So excited to find this place just a block away from home! We go Apricot Ginger YUM it was so good we had to get a pint we got the creamy icy, totally worth it for just I think $ 7.50!
They have tons of flavors, and I will definitely be going back. Perfect to get a couple scoops before you head to the park. Oh and it is healthier than icecream after all! LESS FAT! woohooo!!!

Coconut is the best! Not very much space for seating, but on a hot summer’s day, nothing beats this!

Everyone I know thinks that my living in Flatbush must be a real drag. I’ll keep letting them think that because I know that I have some of the most amazing foood right at my doorstep. NYC Icy is EVERYTHING I could ask for in a ice cream shop. First of all it isn’t even ice cream. Yes, they have «creamy» flavors but they are’nt heavy like ice cream. They have like a gadzillion flavors, so I’ll never get bored. And for chrissakes, it’s in Flatbush! I heart this place.

NYC Icy rocks. We go as often as possible. The flavors, from pedestrian (cherry) to exotic (mango basil?), are all wonderful, and they even make a mean shake for $ 5 which, while not exactly a steal, seems to be the going rate these days. Nice folks, too. Well, folk. The same girl is there every time we go, but she’s awfully nice.
The only problem is that the location is less than stellar. But you can’t have everything. They’d have to charge more of they got a place near Mimi’s/The Farm/​Sycamore. Deal with it!

I’m not much of an ice cream/​sorbet/​icy fan. But NYC Icy has got me sold. To fool myself into thinking they haven’t sold me though, i do not go often. But when I do, I get 5 pints. They mix real thai iced tea into the thai iced tea icy. And ginger, and mint and apricot and crème brule? Is that even possible? Who cares? It’s delicious. Actually just finished more mango basil than I care to admit.

Delicious! Not too sweet, but completely flavorful. It was hot as basket/​base/​and volley [BALLS] outside. I had sweltered in the Park for 3 hours, and on my way home, I decided to hit up NYC Icy. Best decision I made all day. The guy working there had a face I knew I could exchange icy goods for money with. He gave me the rundown of what I might like in comparison to the food mood I was in. He let me know that the mango basil was a big hit– so I might want to try that, and for a light, yet chunky delight– he suggested the pineapple. I had them both mixed in the large cup (which is not the largest cup I could think of to call large – but it was a good enough amount).
the prices for an icy or milkshake ranged from $ 2-​$ 5. I’m not sure why the rating up top says $$? The milkshake of the day was «Rice Pudding» I was tempted– but alas hot day + mixing pineapples mangoes rice pudding and milk sounds like me having to cross the street and ask the people at the Banya to use the Bano.

A neighborhood treat. I stopped in the other day after a year away. It has only gotten better! First off the staff is helpful and crazy friendly. Secondly and more importently, the sorbets an iceys are delicious. I tried the lavender, the apple pie, and the lemon mango. But in the end had to go with an old friend, rice pudding. The natural homemeade flavor comes in a perfect one size cup. A word to newcomers: they don’t have spoons. It’s sorta an unedible cone.
If you’re in the neighborhood on a hot day, stop in. It’s amazing and amazingly unique.

I love this place! I come here in the summer when I’m walking with my grandma to the doctor (the HIP center is right across the street).
As I wait for her I get a delicious mango basil icy to pass the time as I sit outside on a bench enjoying the weather. This place is a staple of my summers!

I have had the mango basil and it is wonderful, but on my last swing by I had the grapefruit ice, small cup $ 2, it was not too sweet and very refreshing on my stroll down Stratford Road.
NYC ICY is a real treat in an area that is improving over the years, I moved to Kensington in 1999. Being right on the edge of Ditmas Park /​Prospect Park South is perfect for a walk with a frosty scoop of heaven.
There are other new takeout joints close by worth a try.

Oh Mango Basil! The answer to all my summer prayers. Not too sweet; luscious, sophisticated and herbaceous. Perfect accompaniment for strolling down Argyle road whilst looking at fireflies…

Yipee! I found another place on one of my neighborhood discovery sessions. Apparently this place has history in NYC. I don’t know. I’ve only live here for a year, and only about 4 months in flatbush. the story goes like this. It was a hot day. I was looking for yummy taco down church ave. but didn’t know where the heck it was so I hopped off the bus between Coney Island Ave. and Ocean Pkwy. I decided to inspect this ice cream shop looking place on my walk back to Ocean Ave. There’s a little chalkboard sign outside with all this interesting flavors on it. Basil this. Mint that. Ginger something else. The flavors sparked my interest so I step in. I had my eye on trying a few flavors. Apparently this stuff is like a sorbet or italian ice. Some are creamy type flavors though. I chose to mix things up and try honey almond and apricot ginger. I must tell you I nearly skipped home. The flavors were different and refreshing. Most importantly they made it not so hot outside. The combination I had probably wasnt great together, but on their own they were great. The store is new. Its a bright, clean, and inviting place, and they even sell some of their signature merchandise. I’ll be making more trips to this little place.
