Emack & Bolio’s

The cones look cool but the ice cream doesn’t have much flavor. Chocolate/​chocolate bark is pretty gross.

Like this place but doesn’t open on time on the weekends. Guess we have to go to Haagen-​Dazs?

What can I say about a place with dipped cones and a plethora of ice cream options? I loved every lick and moment!

Nice location. Ice cream was decent, they have plenty of flavor options as well as toppings, you can get a waffle cone or cup and even the cones have options for example marshmallow & fruity pebbles. Nothing too special, wouldn’t go out of my way to go back. Staff not to friendly.

Love this place. 1^st let me say that I’m an ice cream addict & verrry picky. Many ice cream stores have popped up recently & the hype is tremdous but many fall short of their brag. I tried Emack when it arrived on Montague & was instantly overjoyed wirh my grasshopper. Grrreaf. I’ve been back many times & have tried many fllavors. They are all wonderful.
The place iitself is upbeat feeling with its own unique vibe. colorful & bright artwork, cool vinyl, a cute upstairs where you can relax & even have a birdseye view of Montague St. below.
Last of all, the service has always been tops. The owner, Tyler, is very friendly & funny. He also has a lot of patience with the customers. (I work in retail myself & some customers can get under your skin but Tyler seems to be well liked. He’s like the neighborhood bartendener, turned ice cream vendor!)
All in all, I’m so glad Emack & Bolio’s opened in Brooklyn Heights!

Great ice cream, nothing like this in the neighborhood, sorry ample hills you’re trying to be so cool that I can’t find my vanilla ice cream on your menu. Recommended 100%. Price is according to the neighborhood and to the price of ice cream lately… But this one is creamy for real!

Uhhhhhhhh… wtf grasshopper. I love you grasshopper. Come home with me grasshopper. By the way, I like the grasshopper.
$ 5 per serving has unfortunately become the new norm for creama these days. Here, I’ll pay it. Ample hills, you’re great, but too exotic for my child like tastebuds. Hello grasshopper, I’m home.

If you’re looking for an «instagrammable» picture, this is definitely your place. They have a variety of cones dipped in cereal. I opted for a regular cone with cosmic crunch ice cream and it was delicious. This place is good, but definitely not better than ample hills.

First time coming here, right around my job. Went on a spring afternoon with my family. Got a couple of different ice cream cones. Very interesting flavor and worth going.

i don’t usually write bad reviews, but the guy in the Yankee hate behind the counter that scoops ice cream for a living was a real douche bag, i heard the sweet gir that was helping me who was obviously new to the job ask him ‘should i open the bottle cap for him?’ and the guy responded ‘nah F** him**… now i’m a nice guy i just got back from a long day of work, went out of my way to stop here to get some over hyped ice cream and i gotta catch an attitude from some low life ice cream scooping loser? will not return back to this place.
also i find $ 17 for 2 ice cream cones and a bottle of soda extremely unreasonable.

Good ice cream however, the service was disappointing. Walked in 30 minutes before closing and was not acknowledged. Had to ask if they were open. Workers seemed annoyed that we were there. The seating upstairs was already packed up. Asked if they had a restroom and the employee responded, «nope» before I could even get my sentence out. Customer service needs help. Will come back for ice cream tho :)

Yum! E&B hits the spot for hard ice cream and their flavors are creative and rotate frequently. A little expensive (paid $ 4 and change for one scoop in a wafer cone) but the portion was generous and the ice cream tasty. Love this location on Montague Street, particularly the upstairs seating area. Their smoothies/​build your own yogurts look like they’re worth trying, too!

I had a smoothie and it most definitely hit the spot. First of all, this place is absolutely beautiful in a busy shopping area. My daughter was super excited about going upstairs, shrieking that it’s so cute! And it has pretty bright colors and pastels designed with a total ice cream parlor shop feel to it, though some of the art gives it a vintage psychadelic 70’s yet Punky Brewster 80’s feel to it.
The menu is on several huge chalkboards. I wanted to make SURE that the smoothie would taste good, so I ended up making my own creation and keeping the ingredients pretty simple. It came out incredibly tasty. The man who was working the register was very patient as I decided what I wanted and asked for suggestions. The ice cream looks like it tastes great so that might be good for another time. Overall, I liked the different selections available and have good reason to return to check them out.

I stumbled upon this place one day since I go to school in the area and walked in and was just amazed by their selection. I got the dark chocolate peanut butter cup and a Nutella cup the first time I went which were heavenly. The second time I went I noticed that they make egg creams and my heart was sold. I kept going back week after week to get the egg cream the worker Tyler makes because he just makes them so well. He’s also really friendly and sweet which is a nice addition, too. One week, though, he didn’t have seltzer water to make the egg cream and he said he’ll have it next time which he kept his promise because he did. He even mentioned that he always thinks about me which reminds him to get seltzer which I thought was really sweet of him to say. It doesn’t take that much to be friendly to your customers which is why I’d recommend this place to anyone!

I hear my coworkers speaking of this place all the time. I decided to check it out. I can say the worker seemed a bit dull and not interested in helping however i can be very persistent. I bought the cone with the rice krispie treat and got the cookie monster ice cream it totaled up to 8something. Although expensive it was very much delicious. I would definitely return but maybe not this location.

Cones are great. But, ice cream flavors aren’t that creamy and delicious.
Cashier wasn’t that helpful.

My boyfriend and I popped in to Emack & Bolio’s because we were both craving something sweet. We originally wanted ice cream but saw that it was $ 4.25 for a tiny scoop, so we turned to the array of chocolates. We asked if the bags were priced by weight but had no idea that we’d be paying $ 12.54 for 6 measly pieces of chocolate. Not sure what made them so special but if you’re looking for ice cream & chocolate you’re better off crossing the street to Haagen Dazs.

Was just charged $ 12 for 4 pieces of chocolate. There are no prices, no scales, and no register to display the price. For all I know the guy could’ve just given me an arbitrary number. I guess I should’ve expected that from a chocolatier in downtown Brooklyn.
The chocolate was good but I better find diamonds in my toilet for that kind of price.

Expensive, but good! And the cashiers here are always super friendly and helpful. My boyfriend and I have been here several times and are partial to the space cake ice cream in their waffle cone with rice crispy marshmallow and Nutella around the rim. Bomb dot com.

Well I’ve discovered something great about being a week overdue with my first child… I get to come here and feed my giant belly each and every hot, humid, uncomfortable day. The flavors here are the bomb — I had space cake and salted caramel — and the prices are completely reasonable for all the gooey goodness.
Bonus: cones coated in sugary treats, small seating area upstairs, and friendly staff.
