Cold dessert

Ice Cream

Where to get ice cream on the East End. Old soda fountains, roadside soft-serve, seasonal scoop shops. Honest about which have the line and which are quiet enough to walk up to.

    Amazing Flavors

    A rotating flavor of the week, plus a coffee counter pouring an exclusive blend roasted at Hampton Coffee Company

    A Front Street scoop shop in Greenport village, a short walk from the ferry dock, with a full coffee counter beside the ice cream — which is why Google types it both ice_cream_shop and coffee_shop. It still opens at 1 PM, so it is a dessert stop rather than a breakfast one. Checked 2026-08-22.

    Greenport Creamery

    Homemade ice cream, gelato, sorbet and Greek frozen yogurt, dairy and not

    "Over 48 years making the best homemade ice cream" is the claim, and the range backs it up: ice cream, gelato, sorbet, sherbet, Greek frozen yogurt, gourmet Italian ice, affogato, non-dairy and vegan across most of it, homemade waffle cones, frozen lemonade. A better answer than Ralph's if what you want is one considered scoop rather than a hundred-flavor board. Pricier by a dollar, worth it. It is at 142 Main Street, not the 308 that floats around online. Note the opening date: this one does not unlock until mid-May.

    Hours · Seasonal; 2026 season opens May 15. Operator posts Wed 12–6 PM, Fri 12–10 PM, Sat 12–11 PM, Sun 12–6 PM, closed Mon–Tue (Thursday is disputed — call ahead)

    Ralph's Famous Italian Ices and Ice Cream

    Over 100 flavors of Italian ice and ice cream, a block off the harbor

    The Greenport outpost of the canonical Staten Island Italian ice shop, on Front Street rather than Main — worth knowing, because the two are a walk apart. Over a hundred flavors, plus sundaes, shakes, smoothies, Twisters, Icebergs and açaí bowls. It opens May 1 for the season and the posted hours carry a "weather permitting" on them, which on the North Fork is not boilerplate. Not the homemade-hard-pack experience of Magic Fountain, but the right answer on the walk back to the car after a Claudio's lunch.

    Hours · Mon–Thu 2 – 8 PM, Fri–Sat to 10 PM, Sun 11 AM – 8 PM (weather permitting)
