Kathy’s Gourmet Italian Ices & Ice Cream

This little spot is a gem. They also make some of the best birthday cake ice cream I’ve ever had. There aren’t a whole lot of places like this anymore where you can get delicious, home-​made ice cream through a little take-​out window until 11:00pm. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out.

I stopped by with my boyfriend for a quick refreshment and this place was great! There was so many yummy choices that we took some to go! Service was great. If I am ever in the area again I will be sure to stop by. The mango ice was awesome!!! I appreciate the service and recommendation.

Angie! I don’t understand your problem with the establishment they are the most courteous ice Cream parlor in Brooklyn and I’ve been to many very Kid friendly to say the least. Common sense will tell you that when you are served ices the spoon normally gets put in the ices the spoon does not become dirty because it was in the ices, businesses are not in the business to give u additional spoons because you deemed a clean spoon dirty next time try being Courteous to the next establishment you visit. The customer is not always right when you are sarcastic.

If you want a used spoon for ice cream in your to go bag, this is a place to go to.
You will get to the bad attitude from the worker. The manager who allow employee to say fuck word to customer in front of 8 years old girl.
3 of us was ordering 7 cups of ice cream. I forget to mention that 4 of those will be to go. The rude worker stick the spoon on every cup. I then ask for a carrying tray to get it for my friends. She doesn’t have one so I asked to put them in the bag. She took out the spoon and put the lid on. I was totally surprised to see she wipe those plastic spoon that dirty with ice cream and put them in the bag. I ask her to get rid of that and put new plastic spoon which probably cost a cent in the bag. I refuse to give dirty looking spoon that look like someone has used them once already to my 4 other friends.
The girl looked at me and said NO I’m not giving another spoons. It is your fault not to tell me it to go??? I couldn’t believe she just said that. I asked her whether she will use used looking spoon? She walked away and sat down and start reading her stuff. How rude! Attitude!!! Is that mean if I drop a spoon and ask for another one I won’t be able to get it coz it is such a waste?
I asked for manager. She said she is not here and start to use F… word to get me out and took the time to walk to the door and ready to go physical. I still there waiting for the manager who is helpful with the spoon but still let the girl spill bad words again and again. Kid that doesn’t want to be there at the beginning doesn’t make customer feel welcome plus bad attitude and bad mouth. I refuse to go there ever again.

This is sad. How the hell does Kathy have zero reviews!!! Ergo, this is my 700^th. I’ve passed this place hundreds of times in my neighborhood. It’s conjoined with a pizza spot as well. But for some reason, never stopped by until Steph convinced me into it tonight. It’s very similar if not the same to a Ralph’s Italian icey shop. Only $ 2.50 for a regular scoop just almost like the olé days. I got the peanut butter cookie dough and Steph the mint chocolate chip Italian ice and both were heaven. This is what makes summer and ice cream or Italian ices magical!

Fun Stephy Fact: I actually prefer a unique flavored (not the usual cherry, mango, lemon, chocolate, rainbow found in most pizza Italian icee carts) Italian icee or shaved ice to ice cream about 8 out of 10 times. Nothing against those flavors, but things like Vanilla Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and Rainbow Cookie (notice a pattern?) all get me more excited!
I walked past this place when going to meet Ingrid S. at a near by craft beer bar. On the way to a 2^nd stop over that we had to walk over the footbridge and by it again — but this time, despite having to use the restroom something fierce, I couldn’t walk by it again. It was a gorgeous summer evening and Steph needed her Italian Icee fix so we decided to make a quick stop.
Kathy’s Gourmet Italian Ices & Ice Cream has a wonderful selection of flavors — ice cream scoops, cones, sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream/​coffee concoctions, italian ices and more! We went the simple route and each ordered 1 scoop of Italian icee for $ 2.45. I ordered Mint Chocolate Chip (after almost having gone with the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough) and Ingrid went with with the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough.
Both were delicious. My Mint Chocolate Chip was as creamy as an icee can get and had a generous amount of chocolate chips, but not so much so that it was overwhelming. Ingrid’s icee was like nothing I had ever tasted before in an icee, so peanut buttery and perfect. I definitely plan on getting that flavor next time I find myself around these parts… that or their Birthday Cake ice cream… because, well, BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Hey Kathy — can you make Birthday Cake Italian icee? I would have a mini glitter seizure if that happened :). This place is fantastic, go and do it! GO! What are you still doing reading this!
