Reviews of Melt Bakery (Bakery)

Nathan Landau

Best ice cream sandwiches but you need to wait a few minutes to eat them if you don't want a brain freeze

There is so much incredible stuff in New York that you don't have to go out of the way to find greatness. That said, I'd travel miles for a couple of Melt Bakery's ice cream sandwiches. The selection isn't huge and the flavors are rather plain, but the quality is high, the price is right, and honestly, is there anything better than an ice cream sandwich?

The cookie was nice and soft in the ice cream was it too cold for my teeth to bite into it was beautiful

Melt Bakery is a simple ice cream shop & they only make one thing: ice cream sandwiches. But they make them right! The store is very small where you'll find the counter and all of the different flavored ice cream sandwiches displayed on top it. Pick the one you want & leave because there's no place to sit ( or barely stand if there's a handful of people waiting to order). The the ice cream & cookies are made fresh daily & you'll be able to tell by the quality of it. It's neither soft or completely frozen, it's just right that you can eat it at your own pace & you'll want to savor the ice cream sandwich. Well worth the $4.

good but expensive

Really disappointed in this place. I had heard rave reviews and came in excited for something delicious and what I got was a freezer burned ice cream sandwich. The cookies were hard and the ice-cream had ice crystals on it. Definitely not worth $5. Super disappointing

Great service and interesting choice of ice-cream sandwiches at $5 each. Their Mocha flavoured ice-cream sandwich was amazing, however the Cinnamax was too sweet and overpowered with cinnamon for my taste and I could not finish it unfortunately. Very limited seating inside.

Shazam!!! These sandwiches are ridiculous. Try the red velvet, the cookie is soft and chewy and the ice cream tastes remarkably like cream cheese frosting.

$5 for an ice cream sandwich is a bit much, but it is NYC. Other than that, it's a tasty treat made with some good cookies!

Nick Lee

It was fine. Not wow'd.

ice cream sandwiches melt in your mouth, i loved the snickerdoodle one

Przemek Peron

Great, tasty ice sandwiches.

Eric Kim

I had this place as a place I wanted to visit, but didn't know about it until I walked past it randomly once. Their ice cream sandwiches are great! I probably got judged going at this while walking to the subway station, but it was that good! Not a lot of dedicated ice cream sandwich places in the city. I'd recommend this place!

Lila Johnson

Terrible, awful place. The ice cream sandwiches are digusting and overpriced. You're better off taking your money to a real ice cream place like Ample Hills or Morgenstern's.

Hilary

Not exactly what I was expecting, I thought there would be a little more creativity involved in making your ice cream sandwich, instead the cookies and ice cream flavor are already selected and the sandwiches are already made and just in a freezer. There also isn't any place to sit down inside the store and standing on the street in the LES isn't exactly the most enjoyable way to eat a messy ice cream sandwich. But, it was good, although the chocolate cookies with chocolate ice cream was a bit much (no water either) I would go back and just be more prepared to hunt for a comfy place to enjoy the treat.

Loved my ice cream sandwich.

The founder here, Julian, is a phony.

Mei Tam

The ice cream sandwiches were okay. It did not wow me. At $5 a sandwich, I expected a little more

Kristina Robles

Best ice cream sandwich I've ever had. It was fabulously called the Morticia, I think.

steven porrttee

best ice cream sandwiches in NYC

Haunted Blouse

The red velvet is the best. My fave every time.

Nicoletta Amendola

Delicious, easy, quick, not overwhelmed with options.

kenneshea allums

delicious

Alice

If you want an ice cream sandwich, this is the place to go!

chris morgan

if you hate ice cream sandwiches, then i'd highly recommend staying away from melt. if, on the other hand, you find ice cream sandwiches to be tasty, then melt should be on your list of places to stop asap. fresh, incredibly tasty.

I discovered this hidden gem when I signed up for TableHoppingNY and we got a weekly sweet treat at Melt Bakery for FREE!! It's a cute little store with rotating flavors. The ice cream sandwiches come in mini and a larger size. They also have a cart up on the High Line, right under the Standard Hotel passage. The best thing is you can take your time to savor the ice cream and cookie because they are kept at a temperature that it won't melt all over you in 5 seconds if you don't swallow it whole. I liked the snickerdoodle and cinnamon ice cream sandwich, as well as the Sugar cookie with strawberry icecream - not too sweet! I'm looking forward to trying the ginger cookies and green tea ice cream and the molasses cookie with pumpkin pie ice cream as it was not available during that week.

Awsome

Delicious, fresh ice cream sandwiches. The classic with chocolate chip and walnut cookies and vanilla ice cream was particularly good.

L M

Swift and thorough service for a tiny business serving variety ice cream sandwiches. Outstanding product. I wish the menu were bigger.

Adam Horowitz

This place just sells ice cream sandwiches. Never thought I would get an "artisanal" ice cream sandwich , but it was fantastic. I think ice cream sandwiches were $5, and they had about 10 varieties including the specials.

Ajay Punjabi

$5 for a small ice cream sandwich. its pretty good. but id rather spend $7 at mikey likes it for a lot more. red velvet was good dont think id get the other items.

Michelle Kaewchandee

First tried it at a food festival & fell in love with their red velvet melts! Great in the summer time. There aren't many ice cream sandwich shops in NY this one is great!

Aristotle Stathatos

Their presence in Hester Street Fair last year brought many of fans, and their ice cream sandwiches did not disappoint at all. PHENOMENAL sandwiches with varieties of flavors and incredible, savory sandwiches for only four dollars (!?!). YES, it's true! Was a repeat customer of their sandwiches last summer and they never cease to amaze me with their new recipes of flavors plus ingredients. Took a friend over to try their Elvis Presley (double chocolate covers+Peanut butter ice cream), and to quote him: "It was to DROOL for!". Will definitely recommend this bakery to the finest sweet tooth eaters out there. Best beware- one sandwich won't satisfy your craving for ice cream. You're gonna need at least three to four to say you're done. A wonderful place to enjoy and chill overall. Will be there once the temperature's a little- wait, what am I saying!? I enjoy it when it's freezing outside! Who DOESN'T love ice cream in any weather!? And Melt Bakery's where it's at!

Love this place! It's perfect for when you're looking for a sweet treat! The combos of cookies and ice cream are to die for--my faves are the thick mint and the cinemax but I never had one I didn't like. The key is to hold yourself off (it's so hard) for 5 minutes so the ice cream gets a bit melty and the cookie gets chewy. I actually worked here a long time ago and the owners were awesome people who really care about their business and their customers. We have seen their mini ice cream sandwiches show up in our wedding films and the guests gobble them up! Keep up the good work! xo, Lindsay from NST Pictures

Steffany Malarik

Their ice cream sandwiches are AMAZING.

ALVIN CRUMP

Tasty

Benjamen Cavell

Maybe a tad expensive but the flavours were delicious. We came back a few times.

Greg Whipple

What's not to like? Quick service ice cream sandwiches. Sucker for snickdoodles

Aria Ni

They were okay. Chocolate chip is my fave

Angela Carder

It’s all about the classic! Chocolate chip walnut cookies and vanilla ice cream!

Jo Parker

Happened upon one of their carts while visiting NYC and got the best ice cream sandwich of my life. I went for the classic (my daughter chose the chocolate-chocolate). The cookies were GREAT cookies. Definitely not one-dimensional sweet. That set up for a terrific ice cream sandwich. I wish I'd had room for more. Will definitely be back.

John Angarano

The ice cream sandwiches are delicious. Well made, substantial for the price - overall worth the visit!

Robert Falk

What I wanted: Wanted ice cream. Wanted it fresh (or fairly fresh, squished out of some chrome nozzle). Wanted it to be priced accordingly. What I got: Old STALE ice cream (didn't know that was even a possibility) that ironically did NOT "melt." The red-velvet cookie that sandwiched the inedible cream was tasteless. The ice-cream sandwich was very small and cost $5. I should've went to Baskin Robbins or Carvel for far superior quality ice cream (and yes, I understand that BB & Carvel are laughable in quality compared to spots like Van Leeuwen ... but that's exactly how crumby Melt is).

James Walker

Delicious

Avi Lichtschein

The best ice cream sandwich you will ever taste. Small shop and the service is great. The ice cream here is so delicious that I could eat it until I Split Open and Melt!

Jon71992

They make ice cream sandwiches! They are about 8 different options, each with a different type of cookie and ice cream flavor. You can't mix and match which is the down side and they are a little small but they taste great. I got chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and my girlfriend got the double chocolate chip cookie with espresso ice cream. I'm looking forward to going back.

Albert Min

Good cookie ice cream combos.

Stephanie Woo

I've had the Thick Mint and The Classic... I didn't think The Classic was anything special, but I did really enjoy Thick Mint (very minty ice cream, and very chocolatey cookies)! Just as an FYI, I had to visit Melt at least 3 times before they had Thick Mint in stock... so if you have your heart set on that flavor, maybe try calling ahead before heading over!

Raffi Asdourian

It's hard to walk by Melt Bakery, the quaint little ice cream sandwich shop in LES, without the urge to grab a sweet treat like my favorite combo 'The Elvis', two peanut butter cookie squashed between a large helping of banana flavored ice cream. That said, the urge to devour these tasty treats diminishes quickly after having a few. Sure, they are sizeable and delicious but a tad overpriced and a bit stale compared to other amazing ice cream options in NYC. Bottom Line: If you have that specific urge on a hot summer day, Melt can save your life but on most other days, you'll most likely just walk by,

Marlena Cooper

The double chocolate evil twin is my Favorite! It really is much better if you do as they say and wait for it to melt some before eating.

Elizabeth Logsdon

I love this place! Always has creative and original ice cream sandwiches. Cleassic is still my favorite. The staff is always kind and well informed. Ask for Dwight; he is particularly awesome!

Rob Yu

Creative and delicious ice cream sandwiches! I tried the variation with snicker doodle and cinnamon ice cream--it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in ice cream sandwich form! Also the red velvet one is tasty too, the cream cheese ice cream is lighter than I expected. $5 / sandwich. Looking forward to next visit..they have seasonal variations.

Kevin Chan

Been to several of their carts in the city. Wonderful full of flavor and the cookies are crisp and match well with the flavors of ice cream. Not sure how they keep everything so frozen but these sandwiches keep their texture and don't melt readily. A huge plus in the summer. Favorites are the double chocolate sandwich. chocolate ice cream and salted sugar chocolate cookie and the cinnamon ice cream sugar cookie. Yum. I did have one time the seasonal peach almond which was great too. Always a great snack.

Ina Joshi

Always delicious Chewy cookie texture

Peter Flanagan

Love coming here after a run or while rollerblading. The shop is small and the ice cream sandwiches are already ready so you can just step in and they’ll hand them to you.

John Delfino

It's fine. It was quick and easy and the ice cream was fine. Not a negative experience but not wow'd.

Juan Lopez

The Lovelet sandwich is the best!

Susan Rosenthal

What a yummy treat! Delicious ice cream sandwiches (they have a gluten free ice cream sandwich too!) Only reason not a 5 Star is because I’m truly picky about giving those out and lack of seating made it more a grab and go dessert. If I were running a conference I’d also consider hiring them to supply the afternoon snack for the group. Fun!

Stephanie Ubiera

So good. A must if you love ice cream sandwiches. Double chocolate was so good. The cookies they use! I could eat that alone and it'd be worth it.

Porus Vimadalal

Cute little place for ice cream sandwiches. They have limited flavours and combinations but they are all really good! Definitely worth a try.

Aaron Hunt

I tried to come here on Saturday at 3:35, but it was closed. It’s odd to see for a shop like this... it was a large group of us wanting to try their ice cream sandwiches.

Sulaiman Chisholm

I really love the Lovelet, Morticia and the Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches.

Phillip Garner

Refreshing ice cream sandwiches. Simple concepts and flavors. Every now and then a special item is on the menu and worth trying.

Gordon Thompson

The cinnamax is outstanding. Get one. And pay with bitcoin if you're adventurous.

Ryan Pointer

Asha and I really liked the chocolate sandwich we had at GoogaMooga. It was delicious and we LOVED the cookie part.
