This ice cream stand hands down serves the best soft serve ice cream that I have ever tasted--and as an ice cream lover, I have had ice cream all over the NYC metro area and the US, as well as internationally. The ice cream is SO creamy and full of taste that it far outshines any other soft-serve around. The same can be said for its soft-serve frozen yogurt, too. But I'm not alone in thinking that Marvel is something special--it's been written up multiple times in the NY Times and Newsday, each time with very positive reviews. And the lines around the building during the summer months speak loudly about how people feel about Marvel's ice cream. This family-run business has great rapport with the community, posting pictures of its customers in its front windows. Marvel's ice cream and its people make it a destination you shouldn't miss, so plan a day at the beach and make sure you stop at Marvel before the day is out--it will be a perfectly sweet ending to a great day.
Pros: Best soft-serve ice cream around; friendly staff; reasonable prices
Cons: ??? It doesn't have seating
