“We arrived, a group of 4, with two of us larger men. There was a table for 4 just in the middle of everything and a table for 8 out of the way. They sat us at the table in the way. We asked if we could move to the larger table and were told that was for larger parties and they could not use it on us.Okay, we understood. The next group behind us was a table a 2 which was seated at the larger table. (later, another group of 2 was say at the other end.) One of my party was bumped into no less than 4 times in this short period as we were literal in the path of every employee and patron. Right before the server came to take our order, we saw a larger booth open up. We asked our server if we could move to that booth as we were getting bumped into and were informed they only move parties in emergencies. (This later added entertainment as we tried to figure out what emergency would qualify for a table move...choking, allergic reaction, fire?) Anyway, the order was taken. The server was friendly and attentive. The ice cream was a bit pricey but good. I guess the ambience of it being the oldest ice cream parlor in NYC is the draw. I have now checked that box and will satisfy my sweet tooth at other, roomier and more accommodating locations.”

“Had our son’s first birthday party here. Exceptional experience. Couldn’t be happier with the party. This place goes above and beyond to make your day easy, stress free, and so much fun. Also, the shop itself is beautiful and old world. Like stepping back in time for a little sweet treat. A must visit in Queens!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Eddie’s Sweet Shop! My fiancé and I recently took our engagement photos there, and the experience was nothing short of magical. The owner and staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable — they were so kind, accommodating, and genuinely excited for us.
The shop’s vintage charm made the perfect backdrop for our photos, and the warmth we felt from everyone there made it even more special. We truly loved every moment and are so grateful to have chosen Eddie’s for such an important memory.
If you’re ever in the area, whether for a sweet treat or a trip down memory lane, I highly recommend stopping by. Eddie’s Sweet Shop is a true gem — full of character, delicious ice cream, and wonderful people.”

“I came here on a Saturday night with one of my friends. I had a banana split it was HUGE and hard to finish but i managed. The staff was great, when the waitress came over to make sure we were enjoying, i jokingly said to her "it was horrible can you tell there is not nothing left" and "I said i am NEVER COMING BACK" truth is i will be back and i will bring my son. One suggestion to the owner/manager that reads this i would like to see the wait staff, and counter staff dressed up as SODA JERKS, to feel more nostalgic that is already is !”

“This is a "died and gone to heaven" kind of place. It's ice cream, hot chocolate, shakes, candy, etc. only. No food. And, sweet baby Jesus, it's all delicious. There is literally nothing that you can order that isn't magnificent. They take their time to make it correctly so don't go in thinking you're going to get it to go in two minutes and still make your movie start time down the block. Sit down and relax because, baby, this is something special.”

“Eddie’s shop is incredibly cozy and full of character, with a truly old-school charm that makes it feel special the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, like a classic neighborhood spot that’s been loved for years. The waitstaff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which adds so much to the overall experience. And of course, the ice cream is fantastic—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re on a date, visiting with your kids, or just stopping by because you’re craving great ice cream, Eddie’s shop is the kind of place that makes every visit feel special and keeps you coming back.”
