Rank 7. Eddie's Sweet Shop
Dessert
A narrow Queens storefront that looks more apothecary than parlor, Eddie's has scooped the same eighteen flavors since 1925 without apology or innovation. The vanilla fudge and maple walnut arrive in cones or atop sundaes built with the austere confidence of someone who knows exactly what a cherry on top should mean.
-
Rank 7. Malai Ice Cream
South Asian Dessert
A Cobble Hill scoop shop where eggless ice cream swirls with South Asian spice—masala chai, rose, Turkish coffee—arrives without fanfare or pretension. The flavors taste like someone's kitchen memory translated into cream, which is precisely the point.
-
A 1920s pharmacy reclaimed and restored, its vintage bones now cradling an ice cream counter where floats arrive in proper glassware and sundaes sport house-made hot fudge and potato chips. The theatrical restraint of the space—original fixtures intact, nothing oversold—lets the cold sweetness do the talking.

-
What began as a roving truck in 2008 has calcified into something more durable: a brand whose creamy, plainly made scoops now occupy freezer cases across the city and beyond. The vegan iterations are genuine alternatives rather than afterthoughts, and the seasonal flavors—a Kraft mac-and-cheese confection among them—suggest a kitchen unafraid of whimsy.
-
Sam Mason, who cut his teeth at the fine-dining extremes of Wd~50, brings a restless imagination to ice cream—Thai iced tea one season, black pepper fig the next, each flavor arriving with the precision of plated dessert. The shop's expansion across the Northeast and beyond suggests that his mercurial approach to frozen cream has found an audience willing to follow.
