Don't go to the store at 8702 Third Ave in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn if you want competent, polite service. While we were there last night, we had to tear the staff away from their cellphones to get them to wait on us, saw people return minutes after getting their ice cream because they were given the wrong thing, and heard one staffer repeatedly act like she was having an orgasm -- while there were kids in the store! When one mom complained to the manager, he rudely said, "What, she's not cursing. What did she say? 'Oh baby.'" This store just doesn't get it. Go to nearby Cold Stone or Carvel instead; you'll be MUCH happier!

Louie G's is one of the best places to grab a cold dessert in all of Park Slope. It's cheap, served quickly and generally with kindness, and is cold and yummy. I get stuck on one flavor at a time, but if pressed for favorites, I'd say: ice cream - birthday cake (chunks of cake in ice cream, addictive); icee - cherry (the scattering of marischino cherry chunks are a welcome surprise; and the frozen, chocolate covered banana, as a completely new treat.

When I was a kid, I always associated Italian ices with those hard flavored things you ate out of cups with a wooden faux spoon. And I'm really a chocolate kinda girl, so lemon or cherry never appealed. Today when I ordered the pb and chocolate cup here I thought I was getting ice cream. The woman told me it was an ice and I figured I'd try and be healthy, ha. But it was really good and creamy! It must have some amount of milk in it, vegans. I'm sure plenty of people in Brooklyn have eaten from here but I thought I'd post a review if you're like I was and never tried it.
