Yeah the ice cream here is decent and there are a ton of delicious and unique flavors to choose from but this place was a little blah.. When I think of this guilty pleasure of ice cream, I think of the cold and creamy treat we all love that chases the blues away. Brooklyn Bell lacks a bit of fun in their store.
Parking can be tough on this street but feel free to play a little Russian roulette and park at the hydrant in front of the store, just be sure to keep an eye out for the evil meter maids.
Oh btw I did really enjoy my chocolate ice cream on a waffle cone.
A locally made ice-cream spot with upstate cream that makes delicious treats. Known for Black lava caramel their signature flavor and it's luscious. The Flavors have lots of zing. I went with roasted strawberry and chocolate. I really loved the roasted strawberry. Added tasty chocolate sauce. The ice -cream tasted super fresh. The shop is real cute with a loo. If you're at the museum or Franklin Ave, Brooklyn Bell will Ring Your Bell!
A must every time I come home to Brooklyn! Quality ice cream and good, friendly service are mainstays of this ice cream shop. The black lava is the best! Had black cherry chip and brownie nut fudge today and was delicious. Unique flavors are always present.
All my five stars go to the black lava caramel. The flavor is so unique. It's creamy and sweet but then leaves a hint of bitterness. And when its paired with maple butter pecan…it was like heaven!
Oh my, this ice cream is heavenly. We came out for a family dessert outing and pretty much sampled the entire stock (yay for gracious guys behind the counter) before settling on black lava caramel (me) and the maple butter pecan and vanilla (hubby). The double scoop was bigger than our 6 month old's head, haha. The ice cream is super high quality and the flavors packed with umami. Little play table with toys for the kiddos, too! Love love love it.
Location: this place is really close to Brooklyn museum. Although I have never been to Brooklyn museum, I am lucky enough to bookmark this place and take a sip of their holy delicious ice cream. Place is very much like old school with some interesting painting on the wall. So are chairs.
Ice cream: I do not know if they rotate flavor or not. But I highly suggest their unique Grape Nut to try. The crunchiness with the moisture ice cream brings not only flavors but also layers of different texture of ice cream. Very unique and worth eating
Service: dude is so awesome and nice. I just felt like Brooklyn people treat others much better than Manhattan people. Why the F* is that? I don't know.
Price: lil kid is a big one cone with 2.99 ( plus tax)
Overall: I love it and would love to visit more often to try other flavors. They have both traditional flavors as well as new innovative one.

A short jaunt from
Prospect Park. OK taste. No lengthy lines.
What a great find!!! I'm so happy I decided to stop by, This place is definitely comparable to "ample Hills" and that says a lot…
All of the rotating flavors were delicious… I got the tropical sorbet, the roasted strawberry, and the maple butter pecan…
The standout flavor was definitely the "maple butter pecan" especially when paired with the cinnamon brown sugar cone.
I so badly want to make it one day, to try their "grapenut" flavor before they run out of the batch… (they usually run out of it,
the same day they make it) let's cross (no licking, lol) fingers for that.
Note: They even have wet wipes on the tables, How thoughtful…
You will see more of me here!
