Big Gay Ice Cream Shop

Their dulce de leche sauce is a definite must try! The cones were smaller than I expected based on pictures I had saw online, but the flavor is definitely there. They have nutella coated waffle cones, which I had expected to have a thin layer of nutella like chocolate dipped waffle cones, but the nutella layer is actually very thick, like someone spread it on using a spatula. They serve icecream in the soft serve style, and the base is actually much more rich than I had expected from a soft serve.

A really cute looking ice cream store. The name obviously will draw you in. The lines are long but the the service staff are friendly and amazing. The specials have double meaning names and are really good. I like the flavor contrast of the Salty Pimp. Ice Cream wise, I would say it is very good but with so many options in NYC it relies on regulars and people drawn in by the name and ambiance of the store.

I didn't know what to expect when we went to Big Gay Ice Cream Shoppe. Judging by the name, I knew to expect something awesome and likely involving ice cream. Largely they delivered. The main offering here is flavored soft-serve ice cream covered in a variety of awesome toppings. I treated myself to a Key-Lime Pie Sundae. It was tart and just the right size. I have had better (I once had a Lemon Meringue Pie Sundae at another shop that was incredible), but this was nothing to sneeze at. I suspect the other offerings might be even better.

Tried two of their ice cream flavors and frankly speaking they are not that great, they are ok at best. The one with peanut butter cups in it is weird, I wouldn’t try it again. The shop seems ok, I like the bench they have near the entrance - it’s nice to have a seat on it during the sunny day. Overall: it’s ok, but not worth going to that districts specifically to try this ice cream.
