Max & Mina’s

This is in a class of it’s own and if there is a better ice cream, I do not know what it is.
Future ice cream will be compared to this.
They put the ‘cream’ on Ice Cream, very yummy. Let you sample different flavors until you figure out what you like.
If you are anywhere close to this place — make a stop; you will not be disappointed.

My wife and daughter were raving about the ice cream here, so I went with my wife to give them a try. OK, it’s ice cream yeah it was good but I’ve had better. They have a big selection and I sampled a few of the flavors and settled on «Hot Chocolate». It’s chocolate ice cream with mini marshmallows. I still think Eddie’s Sweet Shop has better ice cream and more convenient hours on the weekends, but the service at Max & Mina’s is better.

Best flavors of ice cream. Kids really enjoyed their flavors, SpongeBob and cookie monster. Hubby had the chocolate cherry chunks and he loved it. Great atmosphere.

DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ICE CREAM PLACES. there was only 1 person that was running it and I actually stopped by around noon and the door opened but no one was there so I left and came back at 1 because I thought that maybe it just wasn’t open yet. the guy (I’m assuming he’s the owner) was super friendly and gave me all the samples I wanted because I couldn’t decide which flavor I should get.
I ended up choosing the elephants dream (peanut + chocolate + marshmallows I think) and caramel pineapple (or something along those lines) and both were honestly so unique and equally tasty. the variety of flavors was endless! I’m coming back to try all, especially the spongebob!
oh, also their prices were really cheap: single scoop $ 3.75, double scoop ~$ 5, and I think the triple scoop was ~$ 6. A VERY GOOD PLACE TO GO ON A HOT DAY! the interior is very impressive as well, I just can’t express my love for max & minas enough

There basic normal flavors are excellent ! There speciality flavors were pretty gross. They insisted we try the pizza flavor and it was horrible! Actually made me sick just from a little spoon full ! I recommend there basic flavors like cookie dough and chocolate peanut butter. Stay away from those speciality flavors !

Real rating = 3.5 but they don’t give .5’s :(
Been meaning to try this place for years after seeing it featured on Food Network yearssss ago. I remember watching it and them saying they have thousands of different flavors but when i went in today, they only had 30 flavors! I guess they change their flavors every now and then?
Anyway, today I got the cookie monster and butter pecan. My friend got the java bean chip. The cookie monster and butter pecan were both good but were mouth watering good. My friend liked the java bean chip except for the fact that it comes with actual whole pieces of coffee bean in it :(so beware of that if you plan on getting it!
They have a wide arrangement of ice cream flavors from merlot (wine!!!) to corn on the cob and basics like chocolate and vanilla. I think 1 scoop was around $ 3 and 2 scoops was around $ 5.70.
Best bonus to this place is that the guy working there was extremely cute ^_​_​^ he’s a good enough to reason to return hehehe but the ice cream was goood too!

This ice cream place is wonderful, but not perfect. This place is located in the Jewish suburbs of Flushing, housing many stores and restaurants specializing in Jewish history and tradition. This place may not fit into either category, but it still attracts a large crowd. The décor is strange, filled with cereal memorabilia, numerous ice cream flavors, photos, etc. The ice cream flavors are listed in the front of the restaurant, where they have constant flavors and new additions. Their ice cream may be slightly overrated, but it is still delicious. Make sure to sample the Spongebob (birthday cake with sponge cake pieces), corn on the cob, fig, blueberry, Oreo explosion, and merlot (which is fine for kids since it tastes like there isn’t any alcohol in it.)

pretty overrated.
ice cream looked like they made it, then threw in random ingredients in — wasn’t blended well.
cones were really cheap/​basic & lacked flavor. wrapping paper stuck to cone.
young staff seemed awkward & unfamiliar with what they had on hand. not very welcoming.

Simply the best ice cream around!
Tons of choices. Imaginative and unique flavors.
Fast and courteous service.
I’m lactose intolerant and I rarely risk eating ice cream, but I still love this place so much that whenever I’m in town, I go there.

Ice cream… definitely yes. They have great crazy flavors. Some are delicious, some are terrifying. I can’t say the beer flavor, pizza flavor or siracha caramel pretzel are of interest to me, but cookie monster? Twix? Well now those are flavors I just have to have.
Came in with husband, sister and her fiancé. We each ordered a small scoop in various arrangements of bowls and cones. Cookie monster is blue, but like blue blue. Definitely left husband’s mouth a little dyed. My twix ice cream was delicious. Vanilla with crumbled graham cracker, caramel swirled throughout with mini chocolate chips? Yes yes yesssss.
Ambiance is lacking, but c’mon it’s an ice cream shop. It’s nice just to have a table to sit at!

The staffer here was impatient as he stood under the yiddish slang and unconventional flavor board. Tried rugelach, cap’n crunch caramel, chocolate s’mores, butterscotch caramel, honey nut cheerios, and beer nuts (the only one I didn’t care for though I see the appeal). Cash only $ 9.74, would return if passing by to check the latest flavors I suppose. PS «100 flavors» per

I love this place! It’s right next to my house so whenever I get the chance … I’m there .
The shop is so cute and covered head to toe with photos. There are so many different ice cream flavors that it is hard to choose! There are really weird but tasty ice cream flavors like circus, humus, Nutella, and blast !!

I didn’t try the ice cream, 1) the neighborhood was FILTHY! (I cannot believe people live like that) that should have given us a hint, and 2) we walked in the place and it smelled like spoiled milk and rotten garbage. I’m not sure how they ended up on food network.

My friend introduced me to Max & Mina’s and described it as a cute local mom and pop ice cream shop.
There are brightly painted, oversized wooden chairs right outside the store where you can enjoy your ice cream. One side of the interior walls is covered in photos of the shop owner with celebrities and lined with small tables. The other wall displays the ice cream flavors surrounded by fun and colorful bumper stickers/​posters.
It took a few minutes before someone came out of the back room and welcomed us. He encouraged us to try samples and quickly scooped up generous spoonfuls for the five people in my group. He was extremely patient with us and answered all of our questions.
I sampled the following:
— Cabernet Sauvignon: the wine flavor is subtle but you can definitely taste it. I thought it was an interesting ice cream flavor but was not tempted to order a scoop (despite my love for wine)
— Coffee: I always get coffee ice cream as it is my favorite ice cream flavor. I can confidently say that Max & Mina’s coffee flavored ice cream fell within my top 3 favorite from Queens and Long Island. I really enjoyed the strong coffee flavor.
— Strawberry: Sweet strong flavor of strawberries, but not as obnoxiously sweet as other ice cream shops.
I ordered a single scoop ($ 3.25) of coffee and strawberry (you can combine flavors) and was surprised by the giant scoops I was handed [probably equates to 4 scoops]. In hindsight, I wish I had only ordered the coffee or paired it with something less sweet. I’ll be back for the coffee and to sample new flavors!

The ice cream is marginal at best. If you are of the African-​American persuasion, be prepared for rude treatment. I believe that this establishment prefers it’s Jewish customers. For more tasty (and artisanal) choices, head to the more progressive Ample Hills or Blue Marble in Brooklyn. Not surprisingly, everything is better in Brooklyn.

This place is awesome! I wish it was closer. It’s your classic mom and pop ice cream shop but with more unique flavors. The staff is super friendly and will literally let you try every flavor if you so desire.
Beware though, they serve a heaping generous portion. This isn’t a place to skimp on serving sizes or flavor though, so it is most welcome.
Here’s what I tried:
Twix — big chunks of chocolate and massive gobby swirls of caramel, perfect
Butterscotch Oreo — omg, brilliant. So tasty and a great butterscotch flavor
Cookie Monster — the blue is a little off-​putting for adults but the flavor is perfect and they don’t skimp on the mix ins.
Birthday cake oreo — very sweet, perfect for kids
Mint chocolate chip — great mint flavor, but no the herby kind (which I actually prefer) and again those heaping chunks of chocolate
This is a great spot for the summer and I’m sure kids go bananas for it. They don’t have much seating so you’ll have to take your ice cream and run. Or enjoy the weather.

Max & Mina’s is a cute tiny ice cream shop that Can be easily missed if driving by the neighborhood. It has a lot of flavors considering it’s a small shop. I tried the fruity pebble flavor ice cream and the garlic flavor ice cream. Both had a distinct flavor and just the right sweetness.

I’m a total sucker for little novelty shops like this.
Plus it involves lots of icecream with weird flavors so obviously i’m in!
After indulging at Max & Mina’s i can’t say, «I’ve never had blue icecream».
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve had blue cookie monster icecream and i liked it. This creation will turn your whole mouth blue but with all those chunky pieces of chocolate chip and oreo mixed in, id say it was worth it.
They’ve got every flavor you can think of in this little shop, and probably lots of flavors that you’d never WANT to think of. BEER icecream? PIZZZA? Flavors for the risk takers in all of us.
The walls in here are also COVERED in shots of the owner posing with famous celebs and politicians including Mr. Bloomberg himself. He’s caught chowing down on some funky icecream on numerous occasions.
I love this little shop, i will be back to try more and more and more flavors until i try something i can’t stomach. Then i would still probably be back for more. Girls gotta have her icecream!

This place is a real gem: tasty ice cream, novel flavors and generous samples. What more could you ask for?
The rose ice cream I sampled definitely had a rosy essence come out in full force. The black raspberry and clove were tasty too. I meant to get one of those two flavors on my second visit, but was lured away by the date ice cream which was *DELICIOUS* – so creamy and perfectly sweet. It was even better paired with a sugar cone.
I didn’t experience the staff/​service issues another reviewer noted; the staff was very accommodating during both my visits. The time/​day (s) I visited may have made a difference (Wednesday and Sunday afternoon/​early evening); there was little or no line. The only minor downside is that some flavors may change from week to week; it’d be best to call before you go if you have your heart set on a particular flavor.

A group of us stopped by on a whim.
It is usually chaotic inside with kids and adults going in every direction and we were not sure which was the beginning or end of the line.
There is always a long pause to study the latest flavors because they do change and there are sometimes new flavors that sound interesting.
Today I try their cherry cheesecake (?). It is good. Rate ⁴⁄₅.
Note: Service is a hit or miss here. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes you just want to walk out and come back another time.
