I can't stress enough that Frosty's has everything. Any flavor you could think of is available for use in a plethora of Frosty's offerings, including a large selection of actual ice cream, shakes, smoothies, frozen hot chocolates, and a slew of coffee and tea options to name a few.
You will have to look at the menu below for a full range of options, of which all I couldn't possibly name, but I will highlight some of my personal favorite appetizing oddities.
Frosty's prides itself on its Frozen Hot Chocolates, calling it "Franklin Squares best oxymoron", a smooth, creamy, frosted version of a hot chocolate in any flavor you could think of. You can ask for a coconut Frozen Hot Chocolate from a delicious drink that tastes like a Mounds bar in liquid form, or any other of the extremely tasty combos like Raspberry, Banana, Marshmallow, and any combination you could possibly think of. However, the one specialty that sets Frosty's even further apart from the pack is the ridiculously unique Bacon Frozen Hot Chocolate. Yes, bacon and chocolate. How could you go wrong? If you are brave enough to ask for it in public you will be rewarded with a savory, bacony treat that is something bacon or chocolate lovers should try at least once.
Another item that stands out from the pack is the Red Velvet Shake, which is exactly what is sounds like. This creamy red treat is like drinking a red velvet shake right from the cup, a must for shake and cake lovers alike. Along with the Bacon Frozen Hot Chocolate, this is my favorite item on the menu.
While I would never waste my time at Frosty's getting standard varieties of ice cream (although many do, either too intimidated by change or don't bother reading the menu), Frosty's does have a nice variety of flavors. But the real winner when it comes to the ice cream is Frosty's two special cone options that differ from the standard waffle and wafer cones: The Cookie Cone and The Pretzel Cone. They both are made completely of cookie and pretzel, respectively, shaped into the standard cone shape, making way for a variety of great combo ideas to take the every day ice cream cone up a notch. Creative, 6 layer "Avalanche" Sundae varieties are also offered.
Frosty's coffee and tea selection is great as well, offering many more options than even Starbucks could dream of. Seasonal latte's are awesome, like Pumpkin Pie, Caramel Apple, and Almond Joy Lattes during Halloween, and Gingerbread and Christmas Cookie Lattes for Christmastime.
Another personal. hard-to-find flavor favorite of mine is a White Chocolate Lavender Latte, which you have to ask for by name and is not on the menu. Lavender syrup is a special offering that gives a oddly sweet and floral kick to a creamy cup of Joe.They even give out cute stickers to use to cover up the drinking hole on your cup to keep your coffee warm.
The tea flavors, especially the Iced Teas, are pretty off-the-wall, with options including Desert Pear, Chipotle Pineapple, and Habenero Lime.
Frosty's is run by an artist, who decorates the place to the nines during seasonal holidays. They just had an amazing display up for Halloween, with a creepy decor capped off by lights and sound effects. Christmastime is just as extreme, with it being Frosty's trademark time of year. It's a great atmosphere for families and all ages alike, and compliments the personality of the menu.
Frosty's is a great community business as well, selling custom, fun, creativity crafted cupcakes, cakes, and mini cakes for all sorts of events. They run food related learning classes and childrens event year round as well.
I can't really stress going to Frosty's enough. It may very well be the coolest place on Long Island as far as menu variety and decor go. It's in a very busy area and is easy to pass buy, but if you do, look for the lights and stop in to try something you've never had before. It's a treat in every sense of the word. They are constantly updating the menu and adding new items, like the recent addition of ganache lava cake.
