"This bakery is best known for their creative, quirky, and always delicious ice cream sandwich combinations.The sandwiches are each ideally sized to pacify that afternoon sweet craving.The nicest part is that you'll find a broad range of cookie textures, from the crunchy chocolate to a plush, Whoopie pie-like red velvet with crisp edges to a chewy snickerdoodle number."

"They have truly stepped up the ice cream sandwich game. One-upping the traditional ice cream sandwich, Melt uses soft cookies instead of chocolate wafers. Your choice for cookie and ice cream combinations are endless! You can’t leave the shop without trying out the red velvet cookie with vanilla ice cream."

"If you find yourself in the mood for an ice cream sandwich, Melt Bakery is your place. We have never had anything like these ice cream sandwiches and recommend them 100%!"

Nell Casey

"These perfectly-sized sammies are just the ticket when you need a sweet cool down but don't want the accompanying drowsiness when you've gorged on two desserts in one. Flavors like the Cinnamax (snickerdoodles with cinnamon ice cream) and the Thick Mint (crackly chocolate cookies with peppermint ice cream) are also a reason to make a beeline for their confections."

Jessica Allen

"The ice cream and the cookies are made fresh every day, and the menu changes regularly.This is how you do it: the classic ice cream sandwich at Melt Bakery squishes vanilla ice cream between two perfectly chewy walnut chocolate chip cookies."

Siobhan Wallace

"It’s seriously creamy, and chock full of flavor. Best part is their sandwiches never seem to smush and ooze out, but that might be because I eat them so fast."

David Spira

"If you need to know what direction to face when praying to the ice cream sandwich god, it’s in the direction of Orchard Street.This tiny refrigerated nook of a storefront has by far the best ice cream sandwich we have ever tasted, or really expected to taste. Their variety of cookies and ice creams are artfully paired, and given cute names like the Morticia and Sweetpea. We’re going to Melt for our ice cream sandwich fix."

Jessica Holzberg

"Check out Melt Bakery for some delicious flavors including thick mint, Elvis, and Cinnamax for a combination of your favorite flavors and toppings, such as peanut butter cookies and banana ice cream. These frozen treats are worth a trip to try some of the best ice cream sandwiches around that you can’t find anywhere else."

"The texture was what impressed me most. The meltcakes were soft and smooth, but not mushy. It was a great contrast with the cream cheese and successfully held all the ice cream together."

Tristan Navera

"Well the cookies are perfect for their combination of textures. The ice cream is thick, almost custard-like and very slow to melt. The cookies are very crunchy; not dry but pleasantly crisp. The result is the perfect walking food, it doesn’t fall apart too quickly or melt when you walk with it. It’s delightful without being too sweet or too much of a hassle. Fantastic."
