"My husband and I stumbled across the Ice Cream Window while walking around Ridgewood today. While checking out the flavors, Paola, rushed outside to offer us a sample of our choosing. We then got to the window, where Diego made us an ice cream sandwich - huge portion and delicious! Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area! Great ice cream and customer service! Thank you!"

"We took a walk on a Sunday afternoon, randomly passed by Ice Cream Window and were appealed by the crowd in front of their service window. It’s definitely a hidden gem and it’s only open every weekend from noon to 8pm. They serve Ice Cream Window Special and also gourmet ice cream from LadyMooMoo, which is also one of my favorites. The flavors vary daily and they would be posted on their Instagram account. We got their special HRÍS, Black Currant and Tahitian Vanilla as our first try. It’s was amazingly satisfying and delicious. I love the creamy HRÍS with crunchy chocolate Candy puff and my husband loves their refreshing black currant. The price is reasonable with great portion, $4 a scoop and $2 for the 2nd. However, just a friendly reminder that they only take cash or Venmo."

"Very good flavorful ice cream with a small but unique set of flavors (8 with 2 vegan) such as Rose Hip, Poppy seed with lemon, Lavender earl grey etc. Decent prices ($5 for first+$3 per extra scoop), decent portions and they allow sampling. They have some seating outside the store. Definitely recommend. The store is only open on Saturday and Sunday and around summer, so the product is definitely fresh and they make it in small batches. The flavors were real and you can easily see it in the scoops. It wasn't too sweet and the texture was reasonably smooth. My favorite flavors were the rose hip and the poppy seed. Will definitely come back."

"Great ice cream with really unique flavors. Pricing is also pretty decent. The only hang up is the extremely long lines. While the wait time is annoying and would have made this rating 3-4 stars, I have noticed the lovely Spanish lady on Saturday is pretty quick and does her best to serve everyone in a timely manner. Even with it being as busy as it is she always pleasant and wears a smile."

"This is what it’s all about: a fun, smart concept that shakes up the ice-cream game while still staying laser-focused on deliciousness. Ice Cream Window is, yes, a small window with eight intriguing flavors on offer, like waldmeister (nodding to the German community in the area), pumpkin speculoos (aka Lotus cookies), and cookies and coffee. I went with the first two flavors on my recent visit and was thrilled by the intensity of flavor, the ample size of the serving, and the kindness of the staffer. Long may the window remain open."
