Uncle Louie,
I just wanted to tell you that your Mucho Mango Italian ice is one of my most favorite things. And when you add a scoop of Viva Vanilla Ice Cream- things just get crazy delicious. Mango Creamsicle!
I'll miss you throughout the fall & winter.
See you when the warm weather comes around again,
Alyssa
You'd think I'd learn not to wolf down ice cream like an animal to prevent brain freeze, but I didn't and especially after suffering through the heat at Bonnie's Grill, this too seemed like brilliant idea #2. Only three things can appease me from the heat:
1) an open fire hydrant
2) beer
3) spumoni
Being I already did 1 & 2, option 3 looked pretty awesome. Scooping my large spumoni, I thought things couldn't get any better! But then my friend stood next to me with the sundae that could possibly cure blindness or cause it – a brownie with cookie dough ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles (yeah I felt totally radical), and chocolate ice cream buried below. $5 worth that couldn't be finished one man alone; so I sure as hell flipping helped!
I'd totally go again to watch the poor guy behind the counter struggle with spraying the whipped cream.
Guy: I'm shaking it really hard and nothing's coming out guys!
Girl: C'mon you can shake it harder than that! If not, grab a new one.
Guy: Guys I can't! I think you're tricking me you guys!
Guy #2: I never had a problem!
Take this convo out of context and it's like an old script from a Porno. You're spumoni makes me go mmmmmmmm.
I LOVE the chocolate jelly ring flavor. Get it, you won't be disappointed!
They Scream for Ice Cream & Uncle Louie Showed up.
If you're walking down 5th Ave and you have kids with you shield their eyes from the huge line or you'll end up buying a scoop or two.
I'm going to have to return and update my review for their ice cream. The kids outside told me that the Mango ice was the best.. I've had amazing ices before and it was good but no where near the stuff I had at a little spot in Chicago. I prefer Gino's Italian ice. Uncle Louie's was smooth, and the flavor was good, but it seemed a little icy and needed more syrup/flavor.

Strong Suggestion: try an ice cream everyone else seems to rave about the waffle sandwich.
I haven't had Louie G's since high school, I used to live on the stuff while studying for finals. When my friend brought me here after a nice stroll in Prospect Park I jumped for joy. The creamy italian ices are the perfect compromise between ices and ice cream. I always get the vanilla oreo and chocolate peanut butter, my friend got coconut which was probably better than mine. The staff is friendly, efficent and they give you a little "cone saver" so you dont spill all over yourself like I tend to do. Must find one closer to the EV.
Uncle Louie G is a staple in Park Slope with about 3 locations (that i know of) in Park Slope alone, this spot is a must if you are in the mood for some good Italian style ices.
I remember the first day this Location opened a few years back, the lines were around the corner, and nothing has changed until this day, the lines are still long, especially on Hot summer days.
Their ices are made with real fruit and high quality ingredients. They have an extensive menu of Ices & Ice Cream, as well as Sundaes, Shakes, waffles and cakes.
Uncle Louie G is probably on the top 3 best tasting ices in Brooklyn, in my opinion.
A Must try, I recommend.
Yay. Love it here. With fall officially in full swing, I know they will be closing soon. I like this location best, no matter how long the line is, the girls inside work their asses off to keep it moving. They are super patient when wanting to try different flavors and even offer their recommendations. Also, we've been here probably 20 times and they have never run out of a flavor.
Now this is real ice cream! Or real Italian ice. Whichever way you prefer it. Being almost a New York staple, you see these Uncle Louie G's pop up all over the place. Also, its a dangerous temptation two blocks from my gym on the way to the train. Though, I think this specific check in is for the one on Union Street. I haven't tried nearly even a good chunk of the flavors they have to offer. But from what I have tried, the peanut butter chocolate Italian ice is fantastic. I also was pretty impressed with the Holy Cannoli. There are an endless amount of options and the small cup is the perfect amount of decadence to beat the heat.
