Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

I love this place. The first time I discovered this location was about 3 years ago. Was a bit skeptical because it was on some abandoned block. The price was 4.50 for one scoop, and I was like eh thats too much for 1 scoop. Well lemme tell you that their one scoop is like 4 scoops somewhere else.
I purchased the strawberry flavor and I was considerably surprised. It was CREAMY and didnt have any add on sugars. It worked wonders on the sugar cone. I came back every other saturday for two months until I had too much lol. But this is one of the better ice cream locations in Brooklyn. The flavors I normally saw were, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry and I think pistachio. Unlike other creameries, you can tell that they don’t play around with the quality of their product.
The staff is super friendly and makes you feel as if you have been a loyal customer for years.
Trust me, 1 scoop is all you really need, but if you are daring, go for the double.

Maybe I’m biased because I have an absolute love for ice cream and all things dessert. That said, I had the strawberry ice cream and my sister has the chocolate. We loved it especially b/​c it was a hot summer day and Brooklyn is always a great idea. the place is small so, you can’t really comfortably eat inside. You have to go outside and enjoy the view. Service was great and the staff was patient with me while deciding on my selection.

I have to say, this place is very small and hidden as well. But it is very cute and worth a trip to get ice cream. They have a very small section but it is worth it. I ordered the coffee shake and it was perfect. We got my son two scoops of ice cream and he ate it like a beast. The reason why it got 4 stars because I wish there was more of a selection than say their 10 ice cream flavored they only had but it is what it is. Still, take your time and go at least once. The ice cream is sooo good.

Their ice cream is delicious, full of flavor and smooth. The vanilla chocolate chunk was perfect for me, had big chunks of dark chocolate in it which went hand in hand with the Vanilla. The butter pecan was also really good, it was better than breyers or Haagen Dazs for sure! We also tried the peaches and cream one which was the best peaches and cream ice cream I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect location to have some delicious ice cream and sit or walk under the Brooklyn bridge. Beautiful view

It was good. Nothing remarkable. They have pretty basic flavors. I got Vanilla with chocolate chunk. One scoop is a very huge scoop, that was cool. Only accept cash.

Though this ice cream shop was located in a rather isolated part of Brooklyn, the ice cream served did not fail to impress. They only have a few staple flavors to choose from for ice cream — Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Coffee, etc, however, was able to execute even the most basic flavor, Vanilla, quite well. Unlike most ice cream shops which may tend to taste too artificially sweet, this place managed to balance the ingredients and make it taste rather el naturale. 1 scoop — $ 4.50. 2 scoop — $ 6.50.

Its ice cream was nothing to scream about. (See what I did there?)
Flavors were limited, but the staff was nice. One scoop costs you $ 4.50, but they are large scoops. And they don’t charge you extra for a cone.
Butterscotch is the way to go if you wanna be bold. Otherwise, you’re stuck with chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry basically.
All in all, it was a good place but not somewhere to go out of your way for.

I really really wish I could buy this ice cream at Key Food or Trade Fair. The ice cream has a creamy rich flavor that is soothing to your throat. NOT EVEN CLOSE to cheaply mass produced bryers or the like.
This is a great treat any time of year but is especially satisfying on a warm summer day.

Brooklyn ice cream factory’s ice cream is to die for! There vanilla chocolate chunk is the best thing ever once you take a bite you can not put it down till you eat the cone. There is a bit of a line for the main building but there is a stand next to the restaurant across from it with same ice cream. The best ice cream ever I recommend to go there !

Amazing must go!!! We ordered the butter pecan in a waffle cone and it was the best. If you have time in you trip make it over there. Worth the stop.

I really like this place. Great taste.
Chocolate & Strawberry, Butternut Pecan are favorite.
I go there every summer.

Went there today but was closed with a sign in the window saying ‘temporarily closed’. Nobody around seemed to know if it was reopening.

came here after repelling with some friends and since it was in the area I decided to stop in. It was a bit out of the way for me (seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere) and it was cash only with at the time was a bit inconvenient, but luckily someone in our group had enough.
We ordered the banana boat with a bunch of different flavors, and I have to say they were all fairly well made. If I’m around or see their trucks or stands at food events I’ll be sure to stop in.

I take all of my out of town guests here. There are two locations — the BK Bridge one gives you sweeping views of Manhattan and the BK Bridge. There is a newer one that also opened in Greenpoint. The ice cream is divine. The wait is absolutely incredibly long at the BK Bridge location, yes, I agree. But, it’s so worth it. The chocolate ice cream is so creamy and chocolately and delicious. The vanilla chocolate chunk is also another one of my favorites. They have daily specials and flavors. The prices are just right (1 scoop $ 4, 2 scoops $ 6, 3 scoops $ 7). And it comes with toppings! Yummy sprinkles. Cash only, so bring your cash!

I had high expectations but was slightly disappointed with what I got. The ice cream was good (vanilla with chocolate chips) but I’ve had far better ones in the classic flavors they offer. That said, the area is beautiful and we really enjoyed eating our ice creams by the water.

Great ice cream. That simple. Creamy goodness with a great view.
There are only a couple of flavors, but they are favorites. I had a waffle cone with butter pecan. Well done. Then I was able to enjoy the rest of the Pier.
The inside has a small seating area. But the large patio, which served beer when I went, more than made up for it.
Take a date or family and enjoy the Waterfront and great ice cream.

Don’t be put off by their simple, no-​frills menu.
Visited this location today with a bunch of my co-​workers.
It was a nice walk from our office (in the not so scenic IBZ of Greenpoint), and definitely worth the trip.
The staff was friendly to all of us, and didn’t seem intimidated by the massive crowd that I paraded into their small storefront. They didn’t even charge me for rainbow sprinkles! The flavor selection is pretty straightforward, but everyone seemed to love what they settled on. If you’re in the hood, don’t hesitate to pass this place up. Prices are helladecent. Heads up that they are cash only.
Ice cream season has officially begun! Thanks for handling my fix, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory!

Came in to fulfill our Fall tradition. Every year around this time, we always find our way to this location for ice cream. Why? I do not know why. It just is like that. Chocolate Chocolate Chunk, you’re mine!

If you love ice cream and a nice view, this place is a must !
The ice cream is not cheap, but it’s fresh, natural and deeelicious.
My suggestion: butter pecan and vanilla chocolate chunk on a waffle cone.
P.s it is cash only and the line gets quite long (but moves pretty fast).
The best way to get there is take the 4,5,6 to BK bridge and walk the bridge towards BK. You will get a little bit of exercise and an amazing view.
After you get the ice cream, I suggest sitting across the water or walking down the park for an amazing view of the city.

Thought I’d throw in my two cents. I’d stumbled upon this place last summer by accident while wandering around the Brooklyn Bridge Park area. I had heard of the name before and knew this place was somewhat famous. Being a big ice cream fan, I stopped in. Apparently the ice cream is supposed to be hand made.
Surprisingly, the flavors offered were very basic — stuff like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and coffee ice cream.
Well, I had a couple scoops of the vanilla. It tasted very creamy with the right amount of sweetness. The ice cream was good. However, I have enjoyed store bought ice cream just as much. Maybe my palate is not good enough to detect the difference — just my honest opinion.
1 scoop is $ 3.50, 2 scoops $ 5.50 so it is a bit expensive. I doubt I will be back.
