Master Critic Review

Melt n Dip 7.9
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway
Melt n Dip is a dessert café built around Belgian chocolate, crepes, waffles, and over-the-top sundaes where gelato shows up inside and on top of everything. Portions run large and theatrical, making it a reliable late-night option when you want something sugar-heavy and shareable more than minimalist gelato purity.
Must-Try Dishes: Banana Cinnamon Pouch Crepe, Pistachio Crepe, Pistachio Fettuccine with Gelato
