Jim's Tastee Freez

Every time I am in New York I come here! It's what I look forward too every trip  our family has been coming here for soo many years now and after my wife and I moved away every single time we go back home the whole family comes here. It's the best. Some great laughs and great ice cream oh and don't forget the hot dog
Couldn't tell you whether the staff is friendly every time but for me since coming here they get our orders done fast and that's all we can ask for

Tastee Freeze is OPEN, it must be spring!
This harbinger of the end of winter is a welcome sign to Delmartians!! Reliably opening on March 1st, it's comforting to us all , like the first crocus pushing up through dirty snow.  Even the TU gave it its due this morning :

"I grew up in the back of the store," Sheldon said. "When I walk in there, I'm filled with 40 years of memories and my Dad's sayings. It's both incredibly helpful and difficult, as you can imagine."

One of those sayings:

"Ice cream is always there for people in the good times and the bad times."

Someone should collect the stories...I'm sure they will be told this summer around the picnic tables near Tastee Freeze.

Cash only. Prices aren't cheap, but oh so worth an occasional treat. Good thing I live in NYC, or I'd get obese by frequenting this business way too often.

Family run shop. Always a ton of customers enjoying the treats on premises (a few tables for sitting). Young to old, everyone delights in delicious ice cream that unites people from all walks of life.

Ice cream fans--look no further--this is your heaven on earth. I wasn't prepared for how amazing a simple vanilla cone can taste. The soft serve was not too soft, which I hate. It didn't melt right away, which was good, so I was able to savor every bit for a long while. The "small" cone portion was enough for sharing amid two people.

We also got a special brownie fudge sundae. Also great for sharing--the portion is gigantic! The brownies were warm and soft. The fudge was thick and chocolatey, none of that liquidish supermarket atrocity that mars the name of fudge. Definitely a spot-on treat that was too high in calories but made my day.

Can't wait to be back in the area for some more ice creaaaaaam!

$6.25 for an ice cream sundae with apple pie filling, whipped cream, and an apple cider donut?!? Yes please!

The ice cream options were vanilla, chocolate, vanilla/chocolate swirl, pumpkin, and vanilla/pumpkin swirl.

Plenty of parking spaces available and they had some benches set up so you can enjoy your ice cream outside. Super friendly service and I'm sure  I will be back again soon!

What happened to this place?   The quality of the ice cream has gone down.  Used to come here because of the rich creamy ice cream. Now it taste more like ice milk.  Also noticed when you order a Sunday they really cheap out on the toppings.  Something changed here and not for the better. It's really too bad we used to travel a long way to come here but this will be our last time for a while. Used to be so good, now barely average.  So sad

I have really come to enjoy Jim's Tastee Freez. The vanilla and chocolate are always a win. However, this season (2021) the ice cream flavor of the week has been grainy on several occasions. It doesn't impact the flavor, but the grainy (almost sticky on the teeth if you chew it) mouthfeel isn't ideal for soft serve. This is not a problem with the standard vanilla or chocolate, just the flavor of the week. I know there have been some visits when their main soft serve machine was down, so maybe it's a mechanical issue, and hopefully it'll be resolved soon!

My husband and I stopped here for a quick treat yesterday, and I'm not sure what the hype was about. I ordered an Oreo Freez, which was just mediocre soft serve ice cream blended with mashed Oreos in it. It was not blended well, as the bottom have of the cup was just vanilla ice cream, with no Oreos. The menu is a little weird, it's scattered across multiple signs on the exterior menus, with some signs on the inside. We didn't even realize they had hot dogs or anything until after we already paid. It is cash only, but they do have an ATM in the rear of the building. It was a little pricey for the kind of food they serve. Besides the food, our biggest complaint was that while my husband and I were waiting for our ice cream, we could clearly hear the staff talking about customers. It actually made us extremely uncomfortable. We decided we would give this place one more shot, but we aren't hopeful that the experience will be any different.

Great little ice cream shack with lots of flavors. They regularly have different vegan soft serve too! They have a vegan ice cream sandwich as well. Cash only!

I LOVE TASTEE FREEZE!!
I have been coming here with my family for years.
Best ice cream ever.  (Must try the Boston shakes & special sundae of the week)
Friendliest staff ever.
THANK YOU  for  serving us and providing us with something normal and something VERY YUMMY  during this CRAZY COVID summer !!!

This is the best soft serve fat free frozen yogurt anywhere.  The ice cream is great as well, but for those of us who have to cut out the saturated fat, the yogurt is every bit as good.  It is firm yet creamy and sweet and reminds me of the days when I could eat frozen custard.  You'll love the soft ice cream but if you need the option, the fat free yogurt is every bit as good and it's good for you!  And for s special treat, get a Butterscotch Sundae with frozen yogurt, but you'll need a large one because they're just that good.
