Split the Can't Say No sundae--it's amazing! There's always at least an hour wait--put your name in and eat somewhere else for dinner.

Friendly, understanding staff. Great knowledge of their extremely large menu.

If you order the Banana Split "Coward" be ready for a huge portion...absolutely yummy :)

Place and food are great! Service and reception just Ok!

Surely a dessert essential for a New York trip. One must try the frozen hot chocolate or it's sister dessert, the peanut butter frozen hot chocolate.
Natalie VFebruary 21, 2017
Frozen hot chocolate is delicious! Dinner food is just okay - pretty touristy but if you come at off hours it's not a long wait.
Alejandro MestaAugust 7, 2014
The chili dog was great but it's big enough to feed 2... Save some space for dessert
Jeff MyersJanuary 22, 2018
Their frozen hot chocolate is famous for a reason.
Sarah ElizabethJanuary 25, 2015
Frozen Hot Chocolate is where it's at. Also, there are huge portions - good for sharing.
Ryan ZolaApril 8, 2014
Le Burger Extravagant is perfect in every way. Totally worth the $295.00 price tag.
Lucretia BennettJune 22, 2014
Not actually a fan of their frozen hot chocolate. Other desserts looked good though. Chicken nachos were amazing. Cheese ravioli was pretty good.

Sit in the table down stairs next to the funky mirror across from the ladies bathroom.. The waiter said Justin Bieber sat there last thanksgiving! Ha:)

try the Cinnamon Fudge Sundae: apple pie (warm), cinnamon ice cream, caramel topping w/ whipped cream #perfection
Marissa Del PradoFebruary 12, 2013
If I ever lived in New York, I would be horribly obese from drinking the delicious frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity all day, every day.
Nancy Lara-RepettoJune 23, 2013
Come with a large appetite for the cold delicious ice cream that is made to perfection
Tariq AhmadDecember 20, 2011
Best dessert spot in the city. Extremely long wait all the time, but completely worth it. Insanity Sundae is awesome.
Tiago FerreiraNovember 23, 2014
Come late night to avoid tourists. Desserts are HUGE.
Michael HaaralaMarch 12, 2017
Frozen hot chocolate was amazing -- but the apple pie and chocolate cake were flavorless.

Peanut butter and chocolate milkshake to die for!
Jennifer LantzMay 10, 2013
Oh my god... Their Frrrozen Hot Chocolate has sent me straight to heaven! :)
RamiAugust 7, 2014
Must order the "Can't Say No" Sundae. Trust me!
BelleAugust 17, 2014
Always make a reservation if you're dining in. Saves you a lot of time, esp on Fri nights or wkends.
Kimmie OhhDecember 4, 2019
It is a must to get the frozen hot chocolate!
Rie SadlerAugust 12, 2014
Best frozen hot chocolate in the city! Try the peanut butter and chocolate!
Maryam KhooryJune 20, 2012
The reason why everyone says the frozen hot choc its cause they never tried the frozen peanut butter hot choc which is waaaaaay better, trust me!
Fumiko NakatsuAugust 5, 2015
Frozen hot chocolate and other fruit frozen drinks were amazingly delicious.
Joris BerthelotAugust 3, 2015
Been here 5+ times
Get there for desserts and especially the Hot Frrrrrozen Chocolate!
Sean CSWApril 24, 2011
FroZen hot chocolate for 2 is just nice ! But remember to have it AFTER your main course, or it will spoil your appetite. Cheers from Singapore !! YNWA !!
BollareSeptember 30, 2011
Perfect for date night! Stop by this cute and cozy restaurant in midtown for their famous frozen hot chocolate. —Paulina
Jasmin TowerJuly 24, 2013
The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is amazing! Well worth the $9.00
Dilek UnarNovember 12, 2014
Best frozen hot chocolate. It is too big, more than enough for 2 people.
Faith KastenAugust 9, 2011
The frozen hot chocolate was everything I expected it to be. Awesome. We should have made reservations as there was a 30 minute wait in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday.
HannyJanuary 21, 2013
Great dessert. A portion to share. But, long wait to get a table! Can be up to 1.5 hrs.
Udi RubinJuly 31, 2014
The frozen hot chocolate is really good. It is 20oz with whipped cream on top so it is suffice for two adults easily. However not worth waiting 30+ minutes for it.
Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013
A must visit in NYC and you MUST try the frozen hot chocolate. Good for sharing.
KvJuly 31, 2016
Forbidden Broadway sundae is simple divine 😍
Katherin SonJune 1, 2012
Put your name on the list, then go to Dylan's candy bar down the street to kill time and eat sweets. Yes, sweets before sweets.
Amy RobertsSeptember 26, 2014
Yum!! We are ready for some well renowned Serendipity FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE!! ❤️
Meg McDMarch 13, 2014
Sand Tart Sundae is Amazing! Definitely not advertised enough for how good it is!
Maegan HuttonOctober 29, 2015
Frozen hot chocolate is a bit of a disappointment and the wait can be a bit long. Food is relatively worth it.
Kaitlin HarrisDecember 14, 2011
The frrrrrozen hot chocolate is obviously a must have. If only you had John Cusack and 1/2 of a pair of gloves to share it with... [sigh]
Nirav DesaiSeptember 13, 2010
Unimpressed with the Frozen Hot Chocolate (the desserts are large; do not try to tackle one yourself!), but the Vegetable Chili was delicious! Get on the list & kill time next door at the candy shop!
Natalie Abou Zaki IsmailJanuary 18, 2015
The peanut butter tart was really good. But didn't really enjoy the frozen hot chocolate.
Dulce NunezDecember 4, 2014
love it a bit busy but a wonderful place to go
Lisa DeLeeApril 7, 2013
The Salted Caramel Frozen Hot Chocolate is to die for!!!
Brian CarterMarch 4, 2014
Portions are big! Split your meal and your frrrozen hot chocolate. Or at least split your meal.
Annie TolochinskiOctober 5, 2014
The portions are large I came for the dessert and just couldn't do it. Save some room!
Chung HoàngSeptember 15, 2014
I didn't have to wait in line because I was alone. There is a single seat table upstair that seems to be always available for lone-goers.
Erin HodgesMarch 28, 2014
Get the strawberry sundae!! It's so good!
Thomas MoAugust 14, 2014
I would only come here for the frozen hot chocolate. Or the golden opulence Sundae if i could afford it.
