Uncle Louie G

Delicious Italian ice in Brooklyn. Mango was delicious!!! Lots of cute nearby shops and restaurants.

I don’t know why I do it to myself when I know that uncle Lou is nothing like Ralph’s. I wanted my Italian ice fix and came in to this one in park slope. I got rainbow cookie, and i could not not find one chunk of cookie anywhere. Stick to Ralph’s.

Yay. Love it here. With fall officially in full swing, I know they will be closing soon. I like this location best, no matter how long the line is, the girls inside work their asses off to keep it moving. They are super patient when wanting to try different flavors and even offer their recommendations. Also, we’ve been here probably 20 times and they have never run out of a flavor.

I don’t know how I waited so long to visit this place!!! Great treats and the prices are really, really reasonable. There was no wait when I visited and the server was very nice and helpful. I meant to go back this past weekend, but I never had time to go!

Uncle Louie,
I just wanted to tell you that your Mucho Mango Italian ice is one of my most favorite things. And when you add a scoop of Viva Vanilla Ice Cream– things just get crazy delicious. Mango Creamsicle!
I’ll miss you throughout the fall & winter.
See you when the warm weather comes around again,
Alyssa

Now this is real ice cream! Or real Italian ice. Whichever way you prefer it. Being almost a New York staple, you see these Uncle Louie G’s pop up all over the place. Also, its a dangerous temptation two blocks from my gym on the way to the train. Though, I think this specific check in is for the one on Union Street. I haven’t tried nearly even a good chunk of the flavors they have to offer. But from what I have tried, the peanut butter chocolate Italian ice is fantastic. I also was pretty impressed with the Holy Cannoli. There are an endless amount of options and the small cup is the perfect amount of decadence to beat the heat.

My partner in crime and I stopped here for an ice cream and got the Cookies and Cream, and the Brooklyn Cheesecake. A very sweet and helpful guy behind the counter showed us what the different cup sizes were like and recommended we just split the large cup instead of getting the pint (which I was greedily suggesting). I was overjoyed to find that the Cookies and Cream was absolutely amazing, but the Brooklyn Cheesecake was a little disappointing. It just tasted super creamy with random, tiny chunks of frozen cheesecake stuck in it. You can’t really complain at $ 4 though.

Uncle Louie G is a staple in Park Slope with about 3 locations (that i know of) in Park Slope alone, this spot is a must if you are in the mood for some good Italian style ices.
I remember the first day this Location opened a few years back, the lines were around the corner, and nothing has changed until this day, the lines are still long, especially on Hot summer days.
Their ices are made with real fruit and high quality ingredients. They have an extensive menu of Ices & Ice Cream, as well as Sundaes, Shakes, waffles and cakes.
Uncle Louie G is probably on the top 3 best tasting ices in Brooklyn, in my opinion.
A Must try, I recommend.

Good Ice cream. Perfect for a scoop on your walk home.

Louie G has wonderful, smooth ice cream that is reasonably priced and well-​portioned. It is right around the corner from me and I would love to return but I have doubt for one reason — plastic cone holders. As someone who is constantly aware of the impact of consuming non-​biodegradable waste, I hesitate to increase the amount of plastic I use. On my next trip, I will see if I can order it without the plastic cone holder. If so, I will frequent this shop often.

I love Italian Ice, but this ice was a little syrupy and tasted a little off. I don’t think the ice was bad, but just not great.

It’s pretty decent ice cream. QPR (that is, the price) is good.
My only gripe is that they give you the ice cream before you pay! You try getting money out of your wallet with a melting ice cream cone in your hand.

I like my ice cream chunky. None of this smooth, artisanal, we-​use-​locally-​grown-​raspberries-​and-​vanilla-​bean-​and-​charge-​$ 5-​for-​a-​tiny-​scoop ice cream. Chunky, flavorful, chewy ice cream.
Uncle Louis Gs is the place to go for this kind ice cream, and at $ 3 for a «regular» sized cup, the best deal in Brooklyn. Try the chocolate fudge brownie, the oreo or the milkshakes. With a shop on what seems like very other corner, it’s convenient too!

Good, local ice cream purveyor with multiple locations in bk. I’ve tried a few of the flavors, and I can’t get enough of the «Brooklyn Cheesecake». It’s creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of cheesecake mixed in. So simple but so good! The large ($ 4) is more than enough to split with a friend, too. Haven’t tried the ices before but I always see people eating that, as well.
Friendly service with a neighborhood feel. I scream u scream. ..

When I decided to live a healthier life at the beginning of the summer. My heart broke thinking that I would not be able to enjoy Uncle Louie G’s ice creams.
After a couple weeks, I was ready to throw the towel while waiting for a concert at Union Hall. I, halfheatedly chose an ice, thinking it would taste like street ices.
How mistaken was I! Uncle Louie G is to street ices what Grey’s Papaya (the real on on 72^nd) is to Central Park hot dog vendors.
They’re smooth. They’re flavorful. They are a love packed snowball you want to bring home so your parents can meet it.

You’d think I’d learn not to wolf down ice cream like an animal to prevent brain freeze, but I didn’t and especially after suffering through the heat at Bonnie’s Grill, this too seemed like brilliant idea #2. Only three things can appease me from the heat:
1) an open fire hydrant
2) beer
3) spumoni
Being I already did 1 & 2, option 3 looked pretty awesome. Scooping my large spumoni, I thought things couldn’t get any better! But then my friend stood next to me with the sundae that could possibly cure blindness or cause it — a brownie with cookie dough ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles (yeah I felt totally radical), and chocolate ice cream buried below. $ 5 worth that couldn’t be finished one man alone; so I sure as hell flipping helped!
I’d totally go again to watch the poor guy behind the counter struggle with spraying the whipped cream.
Guy: I’m shaking it really hard and nothing’s coming out guys!
Girl: C’mon you can shake it harder than that! If not, grab a new one.
Guy: Guys I can’t! I think you’re tricking me you guys!
Guy #2: I never had a problem!
Take this convo out of context and it’s like an old script from a Porno. You’re spumoni makes me go mmmmmmmm.

They Scream for Ice Cream & Uncle Louie Showed up.
If you’re walking down 5^th Ave and you have kids with you shield their eyes from the huge line or you’ll end up buying a scoop or two.
I’m going to have to return and update my review for their ice cream. The kids outside told me that the Mango ice was the best. I’ve had amazing ices before and it was good but no where near the stuff I had at a little spot in Chicago. I prefer Gino’s Italian ice. Uncle Louie’s was smooth, and the flavor was good, but it seemed a little icy and needed more syrup/​flavor.

Strong Suggestion: try an ice cream everyone else seems to rave about the waffle sandwich.

One of the best Italian ices! You’ve gotta try this if you haven’t already done so.
It does not beat Ralph’s, but I definitely recommend this place. Lots and lots of unique flavors to choose from, and it is especially gratifying during a hot summer day. Order your ices and enjoy them while sitting outside on the benches.
My fav ices flavors are cantaloupe, pistachio, chocolate peanut butter chip, and banana.
I have yet to try the ice cream there!
