Best Ice Cream in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Ollie’s Ice Cream + Stuff
8.4
A self-serve frozen-yogurt shop that wins on customization, toppings, and quick in-and-out utility. It’s at its best when you build one clean cup with a single flavor lane, then use fruit and one crunch topping to finish instead of going full mix-everything mode.
