Davey’s Ice Cream

We were hanging out in Brooklyn on a Saturday evening and passed by this small ice cream shop. I was intrigued by the list of flavors on a board outside. I appreciated that the menu wasn’t extensive and only included about six flavors. (I get overwhelmed when I have too many options.) I ordered a cookies and crème cone with a salted caramel topping. It was outstanding! The ice cream was soft, creamy and packed with flavor. They also offer baked goods. My fiancé got the cookie speculoo ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. It was awesome! The customer service was great too. There was a long line but the server was friendly and patient while we tasted different flavors. (Side note: I’m not sure what made the Mexican vanilla «Mexican». It tasted pretty standard to me.) I don’t when I’ll be in the neighborhood again but when I am, I’ll definitely be back.

Get the Speculoos ice cream in a waffle cone, and thank me later :)

Amazing ice cream! Homemade waffle cone was super good. Ice cream soda with Virgil’s soda was awesome. Very friendly staff, too. Ice cream is a bit expensive, but consistent with the area.

Friendly service, great ice cream. We tried cookies and cream, pistachio, chocolate chocolate, and chocolate chip. Everyone enjoyed their choices! I got the double which was too much — go for the «split» if you want to check out two flavors it’s a smaller portion but plenty!

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF! They let us try a couple of samples, but I think the black sesame was the best! The waffle cone with your ice cream is a MUST!

The baby sister location to the one in East Village, but just as good! The service was wonderful and the server had me sample the Toast and Jam flavor. Little did I know I’d end up loving this flavor and getting a whole scoop of it in a waffle cone. It’s pricey for ice cream ($ 6.25), but a single scoop is really big and they have such unique flavors!

Heard of Davey’s but this was my first time coming here. I was wandering around North Willaimsburg with a couple friends looking for dessert. We decided to go in here. Upon entering, the place is pretty small and there’s really not much room for seating. I have to say the workers here are extremely nice and told my friends and I that we could sample as much as we wanted. I tried their two «specials» toast and jam, matcha green tea, and speculoos choco chip. In the end, I went with the speculoos kids size for 3.50. I thought that speculoos was the most unique out of the three as you really don’t see speculoos outside of waffles/​traderjoes. It wasnt mindblowing but satisfied my sweet tooth. Matcha was good but wasn’t anything special since Ive had it lots at the other place and Imo, the toast and jam wasn’t my thing. Place is worth a try!

This place actually closes at 11 pm
good, no-​frills ice cream

There’s always a new dessert fad these days in New York, but personally my favorite is always a classic ice cream parlor — and I don’t need any liquid nitrogen or fancy ice, either. I like that this location of Davey’s keeps it super simple, with a steady menu of amazing flavors as well as specials here and there.
The Speculoos chocolate chip is to die for. If you like speculoos/​TJs cookie butter/​Biscoff cookies on Delta flights you can’t pass this one up.
The guy behind the counter is always really nice and happy to give you samples. But don’t be that annoying person who tries every flavor while there’s a line winding out the door behind you! If you’re torn, just go speculoos… you won’t regret it.

Great little spot in Williamsburg for ice cream! The staff was very sweet and friendly and offered samples of the different flavors. They make their ice cream from scratch at their East Village location and you can definitely taste how fresh it is. The pistachio flavor was absolutely amazing. There is a generous swirl of pistachio bits that the ice cream very rich and fragrant without being overly sweet or heavy. It’s the perfect balance of nutty and creamy. I sampled the Speculoos chocolate chip (their most popular flavor) and the Mexican vanilla as well, but neither compared to the pistachio. I strongly recommend trying the pistachio — I can’t wait to be back for more!

Lapin and I came to this tiny no-​frills ice cream spot a couple weekends ago. The two staff members were very nice and accommodating. They offered free samples so you can taste each flavor before settling on one. Our favorites were Pistachio (had bits of pistachio), cookies and cream (OREOSS!!), Salted Caramel (drool!) and Speculoos Chocolate Chip (which is their best seller — and delicious). It’s a nice treat but it can end up price as I believe a single scoop was $ 5. There is two tables with two chairs in front of the dessert spot to enjoy your treats.

On my way to Joe’s Pizza on Bedford, I spotted at the corner of my eye people sampling ice cream. Yes it was 7pm at night but that ice cream was calling my name. I decided I would just grab a little taste and then get pizza. Boy was I fooling myself.
I went into the tiny spot of Davey’s ice cream. It was nice to see some simple flavors and some interesting toss ins. I was instantly drawn to the pistachio flavor. The clerk working was so passionate and excited about ice cream that I wish I would’ve caught his name for a proper shout out. He was more than helpful when it came to sampling. He informed me that the owner could not eat almonds and therefore the base for the ice cream was pistachio with pistachio chunks in it. Normally ice creams use an almond base. I liked how the ice cream was also not neon green but a natural blend on pistachios and that creamy goodness. I could do a split and decided in the Speculoos cookie ice cream. I lived in Germany three times and Speculoos always taste like the holidays. He reallllyyyy wanted to explain the cookie to me though so I let him talk about the ice cream for a couple minutes. The speculoos cookie is almost like a spicy gingerbread biscuit cookie.
Then it was the scooping and the paying and the eating part! Finally!!! I was in heaven with both flavors and together they worked beautifully! I would say with it a whirl! Get crazy and mix it up!
And yes… I did have ice cream for dinner.
I am officially adding Davey’s to my pistachio treat list. Of course I have a pistachio treat list, you don’t?
Btw there is no seating inside except for a couple stools. It’s a grab and go kinda place.

The ice cream here is so good! The staff is very helpful and nice my daughter was happy with her choice of ice cream. The brownies and cookies here are sooo good. Yum!

Davey’s is the best ice cream in New York City. Believe me, I spent all of last summer trying the various ice cream spots around Manhattan and brooklyn (I’ve been to over 15) and davey’s is my favorite. The price point is perfect, the staff is friendly, and the flavors are phenomenal. My favorite is the speculoos chocolate chip and the Thai iced tea but the peppermint, vanilla, strong coffee, Mexican chocolate, and movie popcorn are also great. Davey’s is a classic– they don’t try to be too high brow but their flavors are more consistently delicious than any other place. Could not recommend this place more.

It’s beautiful out, I am in Williamsburg, had delicious lunch, why not seal the day with creamy flavorful ice cream! Ice cream is ice cream which means its always good BUT this spot had something i had never seen before. They offer pie milk shakes honestly i didn’t have it because my mind was made up on getting a scoop of frozen goodness but still thought it was interesting and maybe will pick up a small next time I’m in the neighborhood. They were pretty packed today and ppl stared at my little bowl as I enjoyed my peppermint chip and cookies n cream split.

This is a tiny location of Davey’s, but I’m so happy it exists somewhere between my friends and the L train. There are a few chairs and a small table outside, and I was too focused on my flavors to notice if there was also one inside.
It’s rare that I’m able to walk away with just one flavor, so I went with the «split» scoop, which is actually two small scoops. The friendly guy behind the counter let me try the «strong coffee» which tasted like an espresso ice cream. I was sold! This ice cream wasn’t too sweet, and had plenty of caffeine. This ice cream is worthy of it’s title– muy Fuerte!
Since it’s my favorite favor, I always try the cookies ‘n’ cream at any ice cream parlor. Davey’s did not disappoint me. Both flavors were creamy and packed with flavor (unlike Oddfellows, which tastes like water). I walked with it outside, and enjoyed it even in the cold. Quality, local yumminess.

The staff is super friendly and patient. It seems expensive, but they give generous scoops.
The Speculoos chocolate chip was sooo deliciousss! They don’t skimp on the chucks of gingerbready goodness.

So there’s a Davey’s right next to my job in the East Village. I always pass it and plan on going, but my plans always fall through.
As I was wandering through Williamsburg on my day off, I saw another Davey’s and knew that this was it. I HAD to try it.
Once my friend and I walked in, the two staff members were so sweet and friendly– and funny! I loved the vibe and felt comfortable in there.
(They had a container of water for the customers WITH sliced lemons in it– fancy!)
Anyway, I knew I was going to love it but I asked for a sample of the speculoos chocolate chip anyway.
I did love it.
I got a single scoop and it was a hefty scoop! My friend got the same size and her flavor was «chocolate chocolate» and I tried some and it was an awesome chocolate flavor.
I paid for hers and mine and it was $ 9. That’s a pretty average price. Totally worth it.
I definitely want to try their strawberry and pistachio flavors as well since those are my two favorite flavors of ice cream. They have quite a few different flavors and toppings, as well as sundaes and I believe they have shakes too. They have an espresso bar as well.
I will definitely be back, probably sooner then I’d like to admit.
Great place!

I loved the consistency and the flavors offered!
I love having a couple solid, ‘normal’ choices like Mexican vanilla and chocolate.
I went with a scoop of butter pecan and mexi vanilla.
Mexican vanilla was delicious! I could have eaten that all day long. The butter pecan was good, too, but there were a lot of pecans and not just chopped but reeeeally big pieces. It made it hard to really savor the flavor while trying not to choke on whole pecans. I love that they care enough to not skimp on the pecans as they tend to be pretty expensive, especially up north, but I was so distracted by the large chunks that I wasn’t able to fully enjoy the flavor itself. Darn!
Loved that waffle cone. Worth the $ 1.25 extra!
The employees were friendly and helpful. They didn’t mind that I tried five different flavors or that I was indecisive.
Loved the smaller scoop options… but even the small scoops were huge! That was a treat.
Overall, I’ll def be back. Will get a different flavor instead of butter pecan next time though.

When in Williamsburg a few weeks back, Davey’s was open, but in its «soft opening» stage. As the beau and I headed off for a night of dinner and drinking, we never made it back that way to end our evening with a scoopa. (Come on, if people can say «cuppa», I can say «scoopa». Ha! That’s it. I’m coining it, right here, right now!) However, on a Thursday afternoon, while wandering around Williamsburg on a lazy staycation day, I finally seized my chance!
This outpost is teeeeny tiny, but no matter, as i was taking it to go as I continued to stroll along Bedford. Davey’s is great because their list of flavors ins’t too outrageous in terms of product or in length. There are about a dozen or so flavors, ranging from (seemingly) plain ol’ vanillas and chocolates (or, rather, Mexican Vanilla and Chocolate Chocolate), but then they fling some S’Morez or Speculoos at you, and your head is spinning! There is a damn good reason the Village Voice rated them the Best Ice Cream in NYC last year. Every flavor I’ve had at their East Village post has been amazing and well-​crafted. I opted for Strawberry Swirl on this jaunt, a choice I did not regret. Perfection!
Welcome to Williamsburg, Davey’s. You’ve surely made a lot of ice cream lovers VERY happy.
