You’ve worked hard all week long and now you deserve a break, and if that break involves treating yourself, try one of these four popular ice cream spots in West Islip. Your mouth will be happy, and you may just decide to plan more ice cream breaks in the future.
In business since 2007, Sweet Sensations offers handmade ice cream and Italian ice that are both among the best in the area. There are about 40 flavors of ice cream available, including three seasonal flavors (pumpkin, apple pie, and peppermint candy cone). Favorite flavors among locals include fudge mint cookie, peanut butter crunch, butter pecan, marshmallow cinnamon, and cherry vanilla.
One of the best parts of Sweet Sensations is that it offers several non-dairy flavors, two of which resemble real ice cream. The rainbow sorbet is dairy-free, but it is more like a fruit bar than ice cream. Chocolate almond chip and toasted coconut are made with coconut milk, so these flavors are just as creamy, rich, and smooth as the ice cream made with cow’s milk. All three flavors are popular with vegans and vegetarians.
Hershey’s Ice Cream
When you see the name “Hershey’s,” you know you’re in for a tasty dessert, usually made of chocolate. Well, Hershey’s Ice Cream is certainly no exception, and the ice cream you get here is definitely worthy of the famous chocolatier’s name. Both soft-serve and hard-packed ice cream are available, so both tastes are satisfied, whereas in most parlors you get just one or the other.
Popular hard ice cream flavors among locals include Bourbon Brown Butter Truffle, Midnight Caramel River, Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough, Rum Raisin, and Salted Bananas Foster. Sundaes, shakes, Tornados (with soft ice cream), egg creams, ice cream cakes, frozen yogurt, Italian ices, and ice cream floats are also all available frozen treats at Hershey’s Ice Cream.
Waffle Magic
Warm, freshly made waffles topped with ice cream are the specialty of this local ice cream shop. The Famous Reese’s waffle sundae is by far the favorite, but other waffle sundae options that are just as delicious include M&M Parfait, Oreo Passion, Sprinkles Mountain, and Fruit Cocktail. You can also order regular sundaes like Fruity Pebble, Taro Ocean, Rainbow Cookie, Strawberry Lava, and more.
You may also want to try Waffle Magic’s shakes, bubble tea, frozen yogurt, or coffee drinks, as all are exceptional and will satisfy any cravings you have. The prices are reasonable given the amount of ice cream you receive, and the service is pleasant as well.
Coyle’s Ice Cream
Coyle’s Ice Cream has been in the area since 1987 and makes its own ice cream using premium ingredients. Companies that make their own ice cream can offer more flavors than just the typical chocolate and vanilla, and Coyle’s Ice Cream does exactly that. You will find unusual flavors such as Apple Pie, Pistachio Walnut, Chocolate Jelly Ring, Al’s Dirty Banana, and Mama K’s Peanut Butter & Jelly, along with the seasonal favorites of Pumpkin, Eggnog, Peach, and Blueberry Hill.
You won’t be disappointed with any of the frozen treats offered by these four ice cream spots, but if you’re looking for a restaurant for a full meal or a place for coffee, come by Atlantic Toyota, and our local experts will hook you up with the best in town.
