Ample Hills Creamery

Great customer service. The manager sent me a gift card with a $ 10 value to correct my sour experience. I was very happy with how this was handled. Love this place!

The ice cream is so delicious and the employees were very nice and welcoming. You can try any flavors your heart desires. I tried the salted caramel crack and it was rather good… But a bit too salty for me personally to eat a nice portion of it. I opted for a small ooey gooey butter cake in a sugar cone… Ummmmm YUM! It was so delicious and hit the spot on a hot summer day! (Well it’s almost summer… But certainly feels like it already) the ooey gooey is vanilla ice cream with chunks of St. Louis butter cake pieces. Very pleased and hope to visit again when I come back to the big apple! Too bad I forgot to snap a pic!

Just incredible ice cream. The salted caramel with the toffee saltines was out of this damn world!

So much icre cream for the price! We ordered kids sizes and even that was a lot. I ordered the rice krispy ice cream – really tasted like a rice krispy treat except not so sweet, which I liked. I can’t remember the name of the other ice cream but it had chocolate covered sunflower seeds in it – still good but a little bit overly sweet.

The ladies at the counter we gracious enough to let us try a few flavors before we made the hardest decision we had all day; what flavor?! But have no fear, Ample hills is one of my favorite ice cream spots in the city because of their amazingly creative flavors. All of their flavors are top notch so no matter what you choose your eyes, mouth and tummy will be satisfied.
My personal favorite flavors are Sweet as Honey with a sweet cream ice cream and pieces of honeycomb candy and the Snap. Mallow. Pop with marshmallow ice cream and rice Krispy clusters. Today I went for traditional strawberry and it was delish. Tasted like a milkshake in a cone! My friend got the blueberry lemon sorbet in a pretzel cone, yes that’s right a PRETZEL CONE!!! She loved it!
My tastebuds can’t wait to come back for more this summer!

So far from the subway station but so good in flavors and selections! You cannot pass by this place and randomly try it out. You need to walk 10 min to this place and have their ice-​cream on purpose. Definitely worth it! First, service was good. The lady behind the counter offered generous samples to me and my friend, no impatient face at all. Second, so many great flavors! I ordered Hell’s Kitchen Sink (Dark chocolate, Guinness extra stout, chili-​spiced brownie, cookie dough, toffee crunch) and I loved it! Such a complexity and depth in its taste. Third, they have unique pretzel cone and chocolate cookie cone, which was the main reason I visited Ample Hills. Nothing special about the taste but it was a fun experience.
Overall a great experience! There are many over-​rated ice-​cream places in my opinion, but this one truly worth a visit.

Not only are the samples GENEROUS, the flavors at Ample Hills are amazing. By reading the ingredients, it may sound overwhelmingly sweet, but it’s actually just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. Not to mention, each flavor has hidden gems with almost every spoonful.
I went with the single serving of the Hell’s Kitchen and the Munchies — loved both! The Hell’s Kitchen is literally a chocolate lover’s dream as it was very rich. I loved the balance and huge bites of toffee crunch bar pieces hidden within the ice cream. The Munchies literally is the munchies as each bite reminded me of childhood — rice krispsies was the predominant flavor here.
FYI, for all that’s in one scoop, $ 4.95 is so affordable for Ample Hills. I feel like they can charge more and people will still be lining up for this ice cream! If you don’t want to trek to Brooklyn, Hell’s Kitchen is a lovely place to get your Ample Hills fix. It’s without a doubt one of the top ice creams I’ve had.

Pretty amazing ice cream I must say. As an avid ice cream water I must say this is a top tier product. I got the Munchies Ice Cream flavor which I did not regret. It had a mixture of different things in it: M & M, chips, walnut, etc… Very creamy and dense. So good.
But what I really liked was that this place has a chocolate chip cone. This was an extra added treat that I didn’t expect.

Incredibly sweet– both the staff and the ice cream.
I had a lot of trouble deciding what to order and was offered sample after sample, even without having to ask. Everything I tried was delicious, though many flavors were overly sweet/​heavy for me. I was struck by the creativity of the flavors available– the ‘mexican hot chocolate’ was smooth and a bit spicy. ‘Sweet as honey’ had handcrafted honeycomb candies. ‘salted crack caramel’ was salted butter caramel ice cream with so called famous crack cookies (saltines covered in butter/​sugar/​chocolate). Both the honey and caramel flavors were delicious with great texture, but for both, a sample was enough for me. I enjoyed ‘the munchies’ had pretzel infused ice cream with ritz crackers, M&Ms, and potato chips. ‘Ooey gooey butter cake’…I didn’t try and wonder about the classic flavors they had– vanilla bean and dark chocolate– perhaps they would’ve been less sweet!
After much indecision, chose the chocolate milk & cookies (milk chocolate ice cream with sandwich crème cookies) and pistachio squared (pistachio ice cream with pistachio brittle). Definitely didn’t disappoint and will be back for the great service and inventive flavors.
With vegan options!
Tip: whatever size you get, do half/​half of two flavors!

Ample Hills has some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Period. My goal is to slowly try out all of the flavors. My favorite one is snap mallow pop (marshmallow ice cream). The consistency is SILKY smooth, but there’s also texture from the toasted rice pieces. You get that in every single bite. It’s also not cloyingly sweet.
The honey ice cream and the salted caramel crack (super intense, think people will either like or dislike it) are personal favorites as well. You can figure out which flavors/​combinations you like best because the workers are very generous in allowing patrons to sample out flavors before purchasing. They seem to rotate flavors pretty often (for example, today they didn’t have the honey ice cream, but the penultimate time they didn’t have snap mallow pop) so you’re bound to find something that you really like.
Also if you’re going for the first time, Ample Hills is located inside Gotham Market West. The first time I went, I walked past the location several times looking for its own storefront until I finally saw the Ample Hills’ logo on one of GMW’s floor to ceiling glass windows. It’s definitely a little out of the way being on 43^rd and 11^th, but it’s absolutely worth the trek there.

HANDS DOWN the BEST ice cream place in the city! Probably one of the best creameries I’ve been to! No matter which flavor I tried, everything was absolutely delicious. My husband and I sorta stared at each other in disbelief… was this real life?! YES, YES IT IS. Something magical happens when you try Ample Hills Creamery and there are literally no words to describe it. It just needs to be experienced. SO GO NOW.
Flavors we loved — Munchies, Peppermint Patty, Butter Cake, Chocolate Milk & Cookies
Cannot WAIT to be back!
ps — the guy serving was so sweet and kind and passionate about the ice cream he was serving. What an added bonus!

Update from previous reviews:
Someone from corporate (Katie) reached out to me to rectify the situation (there may have been a glitch in their system that did not allow for them to receive my initial feedback). Katie was very kind and timely in her communication with me, and I really appreciate that. I know it’s «just» ice cream, but it’s nice to know that despite some of their rude associates (and I’ve also interacted with really nice ones, as stated in previous reviews), corporate still cares about keeping their customers happy.
Plus, I really like their ice cream… And I have yet to try their Star Wars special edition ice cream. So, I’ll be back.

I think this might be my favorite Ice cream in NYC hands down… Maybe even the entire US!!! I discovered Ample Hills for the first time when I visited the Gotham West Market and was blown away by all the selection of fun, unique flavors. It’s as if they took my favorite childhood treats and turned them into the most delicious ice cream creations imaginable. They will let you sample flavors to your hearts content, which surprisingly doesn’t make it any easier to decide what you want. They’re all so good! I had just discovered the glorious thing that is St. Louis butter Cake and literally jumped for joy when I saw they had turned it into an ice cream flavor (Ooey Gooey Butter Cake). Some of my favorites were that one, Snap Mallow Pop (AKA heaven on earth), and Salted Crack Caramel. When I was there, there was also one made with Guinness in it, perhaps a special, that was awesome.
The ice cream is so rich and creamy. I tend to not get anything bigger than a kid size or small unless I’m sharing with someone. The best!!!

I am an ice-​cream snob. THE ICE CREAM WAS SO CREAMY and rich. I loved it. Normally ice creams with stuff mixed into it have very tiny pieces of stuff and it’s the ice cream itself that makes the ice cream taste good.
Here, the whole combination made it. I got the cake batter and something else, but I forgot what the other thing was. (They all taste good). Anyway, it was so sweet and creamy without being the usual kind of gross-​sweet cake-​batter flavor. Rather, the cake-​batter flavor came more from the HUGE chunks of butter cake chopped up into it.
I tried H’s ice cream and that was great too. I just don’t think you can go wrong with any flavor.

Located inside the cute Gotham West Market!
Came here because of the vegan ice cream, since I’m an ice cream fanatic and not eating dairy at the time. The «Oh Fudge» and a sorbet were the vegan choices for the day, so I went with the Oh’ Fudge. The consistency was great, a little too hard at first, but sometimes ice cream can be like that! The flavor was a coconut milk, chocolate and rum. Rum was a bit overpowering at first, but I grew to like it.
The man helping was also super friendly and offered tastings before we even asked. My boyfriend got «The Munchies» and loved it– sweet and salty. Would definitely return again to try other flavors that hopefully have some crunch to them as well!

I changed my mind. After trying the STRAWBERRY ice cream, I’ve decided this is definitely some of the best ice cream NYC has to offer. This is definitely worth trekking out to 11^th Ave for.
At no additional cost, you can opt for two different flavors instead of one! The ooey gooey and strawberry make a killer combo.

Yummy samples galore i almost got overwhelmed!
the vanilla flavors are delicious! i got to sample the munchies & ooey gooey butter cake! if i were craving vanilla I woulda ordered the munchies
BUT i was craving chocolate. the dark chocolate was WAY richer and more flavorful than the hell’s kitchen sink but because i wanted chunks mixed into my ice cream i went with chocolate milk & cookies, not bad but dark chocolate takes the cake
salted crack caramel was way too salty for me!
$ 3 for a kids scoop! love that they have this smaller option even for grown ups!

Ummmmmm. Welp.
I’m strongly of the opinion that ice cream is a year-​round treat, so upon discovering this gem I have visited quite a few times.
The staff is friendly and let me try as many flavors as I wanted. They also described more about the flavors and made some recommendations for what pairs well together.
Ive tried a few of the flavors, the salted crack caramel which may be my favorite so far. It has a nice deep and complex flavor, and the «crack» pieces throughout are really good. The ooey gooey butter cake was also tasty, with nice subtle flavors. The cookies and cream (I forget the official name) was good, but didn’t stand out compared to the others.
I’ve been really wanting to try the: nana d’s oatmeal lace and the butter pecan brittle so I hope they get those soon!

It’s been almost a week (six days to be precise) since I tried Ample Hills Creamery’s ice cream, and I’ve been contemplating the deliciousness ever since.
A friend mentioned this place, and being in an ice cream state of mind, I decided to trek to Gotham West Market and try the delights for myself. Two days prior, I actually had some ice cream across the river in Jersey, but Ample Hills totally blows that place out of the water. Sorry, scoop-​shop-​that-​shall-​not-​be-​named.
The two hipster-​types manning the counter were very patient with me and offered to let me sample to my heart’s content. They also gave suggestions about flavors. Even though there were weren’t oodles of options available, that was fine by me since I’m often paralyzed by too many choices.
After much tasty deliberation, I chose a small cup ($ 4.75), and because you can get two flavors, I selected the special neighborhood flavor The Hell’s Kitchen Sink and Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. The runner up was snack-​filled The Munchies. But seriously, everything I sampled was divine; you can’t go wrong with any of the far out flavors.
I grabbed a nearby table and began to savor my ice cream. The Hell’s Kitchen Sink, besides being a fun name, has me liking something with Guinness and spicy brownies, both normally items I would not consume. But you’ve also got dark chocolate, cookie dough, and toffee, and that sounds heavenly right there. I don’t know what St. Louis-​style ooey gooey butter cake is exactly, but whatever it is, it’s superb. And as the cartoon label states, indeed there are «GOBS» of cake within the vanilla.
Ample Hills hits all the right notes with me: intense flavors, dense, heavy-​handed with the mix-​ins, doesn’t leave you gasping for water after, creamy, and way way dreamy.

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD…
Location: the only and only spot of Ample Hills Creamery in MANHANTTAN, Ample hills creamery is the best ice cream in midtown. Although gothem market is in the middle of nowhere, aka far from the subway and really immersed in the neighborhood, it still stands out.
Service：very informative and welcoming. They let me try their every single flavor and to be honest. everything is perfect.
Ice cream: in order to keep my weight and rather lose my weight, I have to choose kid size with salted crack. Very flavory and awesome, and moistured and delicious. I just do not know how to describe my affection towards this place. It is just the best the best the best ice cream spot I visited in Manhanttan. So much better than other spots in the lower east side.
Price： Had two flavors with kid size for only 3.5 dollars. speaking of insanity.
overall: Five stars! no more BS, shut up and eat with me! yeah, i will visit this place at least twice a week!
