Okay, we're talking about a $4 ice cream cone, here, but let's face it: ice cream is fuckin' good. You can lick these treats all day without getting crabs or a paper cut, can you say the same about those four dollars?

I don't agree with paying $4 for a small cone of ice cream with 1 topping, but I don't feel too guilty doing so at Tasti D Lite because the owner is wonderful. He is very kind and you can tell that he is passionate about his store.
I like sitting on the bench outside the store to people watch. -

I love this joint.
They beat the crap out of those other 2,352 chain fro-yo chains.
I hate the phrase fro-yo...now I said it twice in a yelp...yuck.
Get the tasti d lite in milkshake form...sooooooooooooooooo nice.
Guilt free dessert in a neighborhood full of fatty foods and high carb goodness. -

Tasti D Lite? Ever heard of it? Of course you have!
But this isn't just another Tasti. This one's got real charm and is owned by a guy named Laurence, who you will frequently find behind the counter. This Tasti doesn't distract you with candy or some of the other polutants you might find at lesser Tasti locals. These guys are serious about their ice cream.
Firstly, during the non-summer times you can reliably find the highly coveted "custom blend" where they will actually make you any flavor in the entire Tasti D Lite repertoire. (Not a lot of Tasti D's will offer this, so be grateful!)
Also, they get pretty creative with their ice cream sandwichs. You can even make special requests and they'll try to have 'em in stock for the next time you come.
Lastly, try one of the great non-Tasti products like Laurence's new Giant Ice Cream Sandwich. It's two real cookies (not those super thin ones designed for the ice cream sandwiches) with a giant scoop of ice cream (real gelato, not the Tasti fluff) in between.
Defs worth checking this place out. -

Okay, so Tasti D Lite in itself is pretty much crap, but I will give you this: Its a very nice carrier for the chocolate chips/sprinkles/half a turkey that you can put on top of it.
Even though I'm still a bit bitter that this place is no longer the L Cafe, having a good sugar carrier works for me- especially mid-July. -

I was so anti tasti-d until this location had chocolate macaroon. Usually, all the flavors I have had taste like chocolate or vanilla, even if it's supposed to be "chocolate chip mint." Lies!! But the chocolate macaroon had the amazing taste of roasted coconuts, delicious. With chocolate sprinkles!
My only gripe: the staff.. really "duh" the last time we were there. But I can be found here after having a polish platter at S&B across the street. -

A definite addiction. Who knew low fat treats could be so damn delicious! My only gripe is the last 2 times I've visited, my 2 favorite flavors weren't available..BOOOO!!! Otherwise, This place is cool as the gelato they serve!

We stopped her for some dessert after some shopping and tried the nutella crepes, and wow were they delicous! They also had a great staff, which made the Tasti D Lite experience so much better!.
We sat at the table and people watched as they walked passed all the stores. It's in a great area of Williamsburg! -

Okay dokey, so, as far as Tasti D Lites go, this is a fairly awful one... They hardly ever have more than one special flavor of the day, and their selection of ice cream sandwiches is less than ideal.
People may walk in and go "ohhhhh, they have custom blends here, how awesome!" But you see, here's the thing, ALL Tast D Lites are supposed to offer custom blends every day... So this really isn't anything to write home about.
Also, I once ordered the peanut butter and oreos custom blend, which was quite good mind you, but it literally took the semi-competent human working behind the counter around a half hour just to make it... I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that it was so labor intensive. In the time that it took her to make it, people walked in, waited on line, then walked out due to irritation...
Anyways, as I mentioned in my other Tasti review, all the flavors will always taste the same after five bites, but ya know, I'm okay with that...
PS: The owner, Lawrence, who is usually working behind the counter, sans teeth, is really nice. -

there is never a time where i am too full or in the wrong mood for fro-yo. seriously.... any hour, any day. any flavor, any topping. cup or cone.
i have to time my tasti-d consumption carefully though.... i think it's made of laxatives. oh well, i still love it.Listed in: Chain Gang, fro yo hands in the air, Gettin' Skinny

This Tasti D Lite location was a pleasant departure from some of the locations I've been to in Manhattan. The place was bright and clean, they're open late, located in a great area, the guy who helped me was nice, and although they were small it didn't feel too cramped and still had a few stools. Prices are still higher than what a frozen ice-cream like dessert ought to be but I still like Tasti, especially this location.
