- Named after a line in a Walt Whitman poem - "I too lived - Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine..." People talk about the salted crack caramel but my fave is the Ooey Gooey Cake.
- The best ice cream in New York City. Hands down. Salted crack caramel is aptly named. If pistachio squared is available, get it! The Ooey Gooey will bring you to a buttery heaven. Just get it all!
- Cole KennedyApril 27, 2016It's so hard to choose one favorite flavor, so change it up each time you go. Definitely try the chocolate chip cookie cone at some point, though. Perfect stop before or after a walk to Prospect Park.
- The line is always long, but it's well tended and moves quickly. Get The Raw Deal or Chocolate Milk & Cookies if you like chocolate and chunks.
- MonFebruary 28, 2019After spending an hour trying all the famous flavors I decided to go with a underrated flavor which was a balance between salty and sweet, the munchies has mini m&ms and potato chips, it’s amazing!
- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The menu is always in flux, but a few choice items are the Beer Muncheez and Cookie Au Lait, which pairs New York’s own Irving Farm espresso with sandwich cookies in a coffee-flavored ice cream. Read more
- Ample Hills is about ice creams that are deliciously creamy!All their flavors are epic;some of my favorites are the ooey gooey butter cake, butter pecan, peanut butter cups and the cookies & cream
- AmberFebruary 9, 2017Incredible ice cream. Another one of my favorite ice cream places in the world. The flavors are rich and the scoops are large - ordering a double is often a mistake 😂
- RyanNovember 1, 2014The 30s ice cream with those delicious red velvet cake chunks! oh God yes! 😳😖 it's like the reverse of ice cream cake, cake ice cream? Just know it's good. Great. Amazing.
- Serious EatsMarch 5, 2013Don't miss the Salted Crack Caramel, an intense and just salty enough butter caramel ice cream that gets even better with "crack cookies," buttery chocolate-covered Saltines.
- Village VoiceAugust 1, 2013For a Jaws-inspired treat, try Beneath! This custom batch features beer ice cream made from Magic Hat Circus Boy with "bloody" honeycomb & crunchy nuggets of Ritz crackers, pretzels, and potato chips.
- Kisha ChandlerJuly 30, 2018Awesome ice cream. Really fresh and the best ingredients. However sometimes consistency is a little off but it makes it more fun to eat! Try the pretzel cone YUM!!!
- Michael HarrisJuly 24, 2017I'm typically a chocolate guy when it comes to ice cream. The Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (the creamiest vanilla ice cream with hunks of St. Louis-style Ooey Gooey Butter Cake) is STILL one of my faves.
- best ice cream in Brooklyn, maybe even all of nyc imo. salted crack caramel is life changing and the sweet as honey is divine.
- CRUZiiiEOctober 10, 2015Best ice cream possibly ever! Salted pretzel cone x Salted Caramel (Crackamel) ice cream is heaven. Don't even need the special cone, really just got it to have tried it once for novelty.
- Justin OrdovezaFebruary 3, 2017This is the original location. If you can't decide get the ice cream flight, 6 flavors(each scoop is about the size of an egg). They have some outdoor seating.
- Village VoiceFebruary 7, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Ample Hills Creamery to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. The Salted Crack Caramel flavor will cause symptoms of withdrawal.
- Steve ElliottMarch 27, 2014This is, with no exaggeration, the best ice cream place I've ever been and almost certainly the best ice cream place to which I'll ever go. Salted Crack Caramel, Ooey Gooey Buttercake, waffle cone.
- Salted crack is a must, but my low-key favorite is Strawberries & Cream, honestly the best strawberry ice cream anywhere ever.
- Takes you back to childhood with creative mix in for your now adult self (munchies, the dude, white russian, ooey gooey...) what's not to love when they let you taste as many flavors as you want.
- Sophie SongSeptember 30, 2020Ooey gooey. My favorite ice cream in this good nation The United States of America. The hype is real!
- Marie FreiJuly 29, 2015I love an ice cream that is so chock-full of ingredients that you don't need to order any toppings. They always have a great flavor selection and their ice cream is super creamy.
- Demetrius BagleyMay 22, 2016VONY FB group comment: "Ample Hills always has a couple dairy free options (most of the time they're also vegan, just ask). Get the chocolate gelato if they have it..."
- MatthewDecember 31, 2013The password for free WiFi is 'leavesofgrass' which is the name of a poetry collection by Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Note the short excerpt from his poem 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' above blackboards.
- Lala VaraAugust 1, 2017Gorgeous ice cream & homemade cones. Very friendly staff. Excellent service:when one staff member gave us the wrong flavor, another corrected it with no fuss and gave us an extra scoop to boot.
- Lori LuoMay 14, 2015There's a reason there's a perpetual line in this ice cream shop. Flavors are all delicious across the board, but the Salted Crack Caramel and Cookie au Lait are worth a mention.
- Alex ElgartenApril 2, 2015You seriously can't lose. It's all money. I would roll with peanut butter cup or oatmeal cookie but you do you. Sample everything. Hot fudge is also good if thats your thing like it is mine.
- Stevan MilesevicAugust 8, 2014Amazing selection of artisanal ice creams, unfortunately it's always extremely crowded so be sure to have enough time to actually get some.
- Serious EatsMarch 7, 2013Few scoop shops in this city make ice cream as good—and as fun—as Ample Hills. On your first visit, definitely try some Salted Crack Caramel.
- Jonathan L.July 23, 2023Ice cream options are endless. Unique & classic flavors. What I've always disliked about this place is they can't find a way to keep the store cold, therefore your ice cream starts melting instantly
- Bristol BlairSeptember 3, 2011If you stopped by here, definitely don't leave, grab a scoop, or two, or three, e.t.c., definitely the best Ice Cream spot in the NY Tristate Area. I recommend the Salted Crack Caramel as a first try!
- First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Among the quirky flavors is the aptly named "the munchies," a pretzel-infused ice cream studded with potato chips, pretzels, Ritz crackers, and mini M & M's. Read more
- Ingrid HartmanJuly 17, 2015Lives up to the hype. The ooey gooey was great. Service was awesome w tons of samples. You can get 2+ flavors in any size (even kids size!)
- Get the Commodore, sit one of the chairs out on the "grass," and have the most blissful 15 minutes of your day. You're welcome. 😉
- Melissa MoserAugust 29, 2015This place is too good! Every time I'm walking by I hear a voice, "Damn Girl, You look so hot. You know what would cool you off" this voice is just my boyfriend, but its always when we pass Ample Hill
- BonApril 28, 2013Some of the BEST ice cream I've ever had. Salty crack on pretzel cone. caramely/salty, not too rich. The pretzel cone is kind of thick however...not necessary for the experience.
- Zahava MandelbaumJune 13, 2013Pistachio has been my favorite since i was a kid. Tasted it around the globe.... Ample Hills has THE best pistachio I've ever had.
- CITY GRITAugust 8, 2014Fun fact: These guys make all of our ice cream from start to finish, pasteurizing the milk, cream, sugar, and eggs together on site, which makes them a registered dairy plant!
- Erinn SmartJune 3, 2016Best ice cream in the city!! Unique flavors and above average quality. My fave is Nonna Ds...just get a pint of it and call it a day!
- Halstead PropertyJune 13, 2013Make sure to check their Facebook page for regular flavor updates. Ooey Gooey butter cake is like eating the creamiest vanilla ice cream littered with pieces of decadent butter cake from St. Louis.
- Richard RevillaFebruary 27, 2019Very good ice cream here. Cracked Salted Caramel is amazing. Prices are fair.
- Ryan EickApril 24, 2016All-around delicious ice cream, but salted crack caramel and ooey gooey butter cake are two standouts.
- BuzzFeedApril 23, 2014The always-evolving lineup is full of fun surprises, from the White Russian-inspired “The Dude” to “The Munchies” (loaded with potato chips, pretzels, Ritz crackers, and M&Ms).
- Zina AlamSeptember 23, 2016The original branch - there's a bigger branch on Nevin's St now with a rooftop alfresco bit - but this branch is great too even if small. Order the salted crack caramel.
- Larissa AlvarezSeptember 17, 2017Unique flavor combos. Of the 2 I tried the smore one was super interesting. Excited to go back and try an ice cream flight.
- Salted Caramel and Mother's Day Special - chocolate. This place is very friendly - you can try everything!
- Orchaid JonesOctober 5, 2014Eat. Praline. Love and ooey gooey sundae is the best creation ever. Only for the sugar and butter lovers
- AmateurConciergeMarch 17, 2019One of the best ice cream spots in the 5 boroughs. So creamy. Ooey gooey cake is a favorite
