Walt Whitman wrote "Brooklyn of Ample Hills." The namesake ice cream store is expanding again outside of Brooklyn to long lines. Happily they have done this so much that they didn't run out of the most popular flavors. Apparently different locations have exclusive flavors

We enjoy many flavors but tonight opted for the butter pecan brittle, like butter pecan meets the brulee of creme brulee. It has that slight burnt or brulee taste. Excellent.

AHC is a bit pricey for me but I don't dare give this less than 5 Stars, it is my daughter's favorite and she wouldn't forgive me.

I never went to Ben & Jerry's original retail store but I imagine AHC to be similar but with NY & today's sensibilites.

I think of AHC like I do Neapolitan or NY Neapolitan style pizza, They are fabulous artisan products but I prefer better value in my neighborhood. So go to Trader Joe's and buy the private label Double Rainbow ice or something cream or sorbet. High quality for a fraction of the price, add your own...

They still sell the best ice cream in Astoria, in my humble opinion. It's not too sweet, and the flavor is there. I've noticed they completely changed their staff. Moreover, it seems to me they were more efficient back in time, meaning they used to performe the same job with less staff. Obviously, there is a significant lack of workforce everywhere. And I've heard that Ample Hills Creamery has changed the owner. This year they were closed for almost the entire summer (?). I live next door and it took me a while to try their wonderful ice creams and homemade crispy cones. Although the waffle bowl does not have the same quality like before. It is literally falling apart. I've tried almost all of their flavors, but chocolate ones are still my favorite! However, I don't understand why they do not produce pistachio flavor anymore :( P.S. Please fix the front door that is constantly banging and disturbing the enjoyment of your ice creams. Ample Hills Creamery is located at a very covenient location, the corner of 30th Avenue & 34th Street. Three blocks from 30th Avenue station (N and W train). They have 4 big and 2 small indoor tables, including 2 benches in front of the store. They are reasonably priced for the...

You can tell someone's review isn't about the ice cream as soon as they mention the word "hipster." It's the catch-all word that means "I'M ANGRY THAT SOCIETY HAS EVOLVED! WHY AREN'T THINGS THE WAY THEY USED TO BE?!?!" (For what it's worth, the 12 people currently in this store are a fascinating and diverse cross-section of New York City, and at least by judging on appearance, I wouldn't call any of them a hipster.) The fact of the matter is that locally-sourced, quality ingredients cost significantly more than mass-produced mediocrity. If you want cheap ice cream, you can find Baskin & Robbins a few blocks away, but if you want ice cream that's jammed full of tasty ingredients with tons of texture, Ample Hills is the place for you. Most flavors tend to have big, chunky adjuncts, but there are a couple of smooth flavors, as well. Each Ample Hills has a signature flavor that can only be found in that store, and Nectar of the Queens is ideal for anyone who loves honey, cinnamon,...
