Okay so let me get started. I went in to emack with my friend and I've been there before, pretty good ice cream if I do say so myself. It was a rly tight space so def not good for claustrophobia. Next I walk up to the desk of the space and start speaking to this guy asking for recommendations and tasting. He gave me an option to taste 3 flavors so I did. He was stingy with the tasting portions. Then I decided to get 3 flavors in a cup. These flavors were Oreo peanut butter, toasted smoreo, and Cookie Monster. It was fire. As I left the guy was really hostile, like cmon man I just wanted icecream. Then when i started eating all was well. Then I got to the bottom of the cup and I taste banana. Wtf. Why banana bro, I'm still mad. Atleast he put it on the bottom and let me enjoy the beginning. Oh it also passed the flip test. So ig that's good. If you don't want your day and taste buds to be ruined I would not recommend. To the man in emack: I'm still waiting for my freaking Oreo peanut butter.

Delicious ice cream. I got the grasshopper pie and its the best mint ice cream ever. Service is great. The tall elegant girl who helped me was very nice. She’s really pretty too.

Vibe: 5/10 - they have couple of seats, but it's cramped and you can't see the flavors as you're choosing Service: 10/10 Value: 6/10 Chocolate addiction: 6/10 - I wish there were more chunks in it, and the chocolate flavor wasn't my favorite Overall: 6.75/10 (3.375/5)

Visited this place last month for some late evening ice cream, and I still find myself thinking about how good it tasted. I got the peanut butter oreo ice cream with hot fudge, and it was to die for. I have to go back next time I am in the area.

For the past 3 years, it's been an end-of-the-work-day tradition for me and my friend to stop here for ice cream, Stoney's Dream and Toasted Smoreo. Great texture and flavors, nice and chewy! The staff are always a pleasure to see as well. Love this place!

I ordered Cookie Monster ice cream and was ok, nothing amazing. The place is cute and small and has a decent variety of ice cream. maybe I didn't choose the right flavor. The service was ok

The John Kouka team would like to remind you of all the superior options a stone's throw away, Amorino for one, Van Leuwen for another. If you like vanilla ice-cream this place is for you! Because no matter what flavor you get it's always Vanilla with a bits of whatever flavor they say it is. The ambiance? There were two barstools that were taken and a bench outside inhabited by a woman without icecream, but with a phone she was playing with and a dog. The John Kouka team (7 people for this expedition) wanted her to go away so we could sit down. There were 3 people working there and about 50,000 flavors. How do they have so much? Vanilla. Go to Amorino. Go to Van Leuwen. Go to anywhere but "Emack and Vanillio's".

Forgettable service at this UWS location. The lady looked like we were doing her a favor ordering ice cream. She opened late and had a bronze face the entire time we were there. We got some chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and some vanilla peanut butter ice cream with Oreos. They were both really good, but considering the service, hefty price and lack of seats (only a few still are available), there are better places to get yummy ice cream.

My sons had a black and white milkshake and loved it. I’m gonna definitely try when we’re back in the area.

Classic American ice cream parlor vibe with fun waffle cones and good variety of flavors. The ice cream tastes a bit icy and sugary to my taste and the scoop is really small for $7. Overall not very good value for price but decent option if you’re nearby.
