Editorial Review for Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory – by Karen Hudes
In Short
Brooklynites line up out the door of this Fulton Ferry Fire Boat House, then take their cups and cones out on the pier for a glimpse of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan skyline and sparkling East River. Popular choices from the small menu of tried-and-true flavors include delicious butter pecan and refreshing peaches and cream. Chocolate is subtle and not overly sweet; vanilla is best topped with hot fudge.

Waited over an hour to get 6 scoops of ice cream (vanilla chunk, choco chunk, butter pecan, peaches & cream - they were out of strawberry). Honestly, the ice cream tasted just like what you would get from Coldstone. It was good ice cream, but definitely not worth waiting for an hour in the basking sun. Plus, the owner should really put more servers (there were only 2) esp. since there were about 100 people in line for most of the day!
Pros: Good Ice Cream but not worth waiting in line for 1 hour
Cons: If you had to wait, not worth it

I waited in a line 150 people deep for this ice cream and what I got was a good quality ice cream cone but I didn't think it was worth the long wait. I would challenge anybody to take a blind taste test and see if they could pick out the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory ice cream out of some other local contenders. Still, the strawberry ice cream I had was ultra fresh tasting with a bounty of strawberries. I also sampled the peaches and cream and this ice cream would be perfect for a warm summer evening. All in all, it's still just ice cream but if you are willing to endure a long wait, this is one ice creamery to definitely try.
Pros: Ice Cream
Cons: Long Wait
