    Really great experience here. Everyone was beyond friendly with bygone charm. The owner saw me outside with my dogs and offered water and ice cream as it was super hot out. Really appreciated the unsolicited generosity. Besides that, the peach and raspberry homemade ice cream were phenomenal and super creamy. I got a pound of chocolate too that I am pacing myself with but can’t wait. A+++ experience.

    I've loved this place since I was a kid. My father and grandfather both came here. The best homemade ice cream chocolate and candy anywhere. Great luncheonette too.

    Stopped in with my mom for icecream and it was delish! It was nice to sit at the counter instead of taking it to go for a change. Love the retro vibe!

    I came in after a group was served and I waited for that group to be checked out. At that point, the counter person counted her tips and make change with her tips. I was the only one there other than a lady buying candy. I was ignored for more than 5 minutes by the 2 older men and her until I asked for a cone. The ice cream was not worth the wait. It had ice crystals and did not taste like homemade. Disappointed by the lack of service & the product.

    This is a hidden gem in Long Island ! A lot of the old folks know this but not the younger people. Love their homemade ice creams and definitely a class apart from the rest. The recipe is a classic and has been preserved since ages. A must visit if you’re craving for icecream in the area.

    This place couldn't be cuter and the people here couldn't be nicer. Fantastic burgers and ice cream.

    I can't get enough of their delicious home made chocolate. I treat myself regularly. The Giant Smores are my absolute favorite.

    Juicy, thick, perfectly cooked fresh burger, crisp fries, creamy milk shake, delicious smooth chocolate... OMG!! So happy that we stopped in! We were just visiting the town for a soccer game. Didn't know about the place. We felt the history and hospitality as soon as we walked in. I understand where all these good reviews come from!

    I've been going to Northport Sweet Shop since childhood - same friendly owners, same hometown atmosphere and yummy food. I don't love locally anymore but visit this place every time I'm back home. It's nice to know that some things never change!

    The food and ice cream was delicious. The staff were very friendly. Stepping in here will bring you back to the 1950s, that being said the entire shop seemed to be run by an older couple definitely in there 70s plus , who could barely keep track of the orders and were completely overwhelmed by the amount of customers. We had to wait a long time to pay while everyone else who came in after us got there cones and paid quickly, had to ask twice for ketchup, had to wait a long time to pay and it just seemed like they were making prices at whim and typin them into the register but I'm not gna argue. Also there was a man working there in an extremely dirty shirt I understand it's an ice cream shop but have backups it was really not acceptable and kinda gross. But overall food delicious. Obviously a small owned family business so please support them and visit. Critiques are only because I hope they can grow as a business and stay afloat in these modern times.

    Best place to pick up Easter candy bar none. Marlene was able to get me white chocolate Easter bunnies which no one else seemed to carry this year. Definitely went above and beyond.

    Like when my mother was a kid in the 40s 50s. I went to Dodenhofs in Brooklyn with mom and dad. This place is AMAZING. KEEP SUPPORTING THEM.

    This place in its heyday must’ve been an amazing place to be. Still, I had rum raisin ice cream and it was real good. The shop has a lot of charm and has that 1940s/50s soda shop vibe. Closest thing you’ll get to time travel. Definitely worth a visit. They have their original menu in the window from way back when but it doesn’t highlight that it’s not their current menu so don’t fret, the hot open Turkey sandwich isn’t $40 😂 but it was 40 cents once upon a time!

    This is a family-owned fixture in Northport that has that vintage charm that can't be replicated. Excellent ice cream, candies and soda fountain drinks, as well as comforting favorite lunch options. Please keep coming to this local gem!

    I ordered a chocolate cone with sprinkles. My husband ordered a chocolate and peach hot fudge sundae. It was all so delicious and the atmosphere and service are great.

    A little pricey for what you get. Food was good, nothing spectacular. Loved the old school feel. Ice cream was homemade and yummy.

    This review is not about the food as I wasn't given a menu, but instead, I walked in and a man was sitting in the back at a table bluntly asked me if I knew what I wanted. Really? There was only one couple at the counter....no one else there. I said that I didn't know what I wanted, to which he replied,, so you want a menu? Really? He never looked up or got up to give me a menu. RUDE!! I walked out dissapointed.
