Kevin MacApril 27, 2018Great and amazing flavors. Fast and courteous service. Let's not forget that you get to sample any of the flavors you might be unsure about before committing to your waffle cone or shake!
amazing asian-inspired ice cream flavors. huge scoops as well. def get the matcha, lychee, lavender, and black sesame. but everything is good.
Halstead PropertyJune 13, 2013Asian-inspired ice cream flavors are executed in perfect fashion here. If you're hunting for the best taro root ice cream you can end your search, then try a scoop of our favorite which is the WasabiUpvoted Nov 18, 2024
eifehJanuary 5, 2017Great little ice cream shop. Lots of fun Asian flavors. Black sesame ice cream is creamy, nutty and delicious! Pistachio almond is also amazing. Scoops are generous. Limited seating. $5 card min.
Brian Grogan Jr.July 17, 2017Awesome ice cream shop in the East Village! About half of the flavors are traditional, and the other half are really well made Asian flavors. Lavender and Thai Tea are incredible!! 🍨
Without doubt my number one ice cream shop in Manhattan. Their plethora of flavors can't be beat. Personal favorite: lychee 🍨
Possibly the best ice cream place for "Asian" flavors. My favorite's the sesame, and you can't go wrong with green tea, but def. get a taste of the wasabi- it's a lot of fun.
Love all the unique flavors here..my faves are Lavendar and the Green Tea & Rose Swirl. Just very down to earth, chill joint to hang out on a nice summer night.
Angela ChungSeptember 7, 2018If you love black sesame ice cream you gotta give this one a try!! Very authentic and not too sweet!
Noah WeissJuly 30, 2016Rich, tasty ice creams in huge servings. Thai iced tea, lavender, and Tripple chocolate chip all great.
Joe GermuskaAugust 2, 2013"Best known for their Asian ice cream flavors, and for good reason; they're excellent. Try deep green matcha, red bean, lush taro, and deliciously intense black sesame seed ice cream. "
JoSeptember 6, 2016I highly recommend the Taro and the Guava (it's like less sour version of grapefruit)
Hashim AlMadaniJanuary 27, 2017Ice cream got a little boring for you? Try black sesame, matcha green tea, thai tea, taro and lavender ice cream over here. My life is never the same 👌🏽❤
My go to place for delicious sorbet! The pink grapefruit is amazing!! Also they let you sample anything you want before deciding, always a plus!
Noël DuanMay 15, 2017I don't even like honeydew (the actual fruit), but the honeydew is my favorite flavor here—fresh, sweet, and super creamy in a way that wraps its way around your tongue.
TeresaNovember 3, 2015The birthday cakes are pure ice cream. I was able to get a cake for the day of the party, as well as have a personalized message written. The guests all loved the cake!
Tianqi LiaoNovember 7, 2017My go-to ice cream spot in east village. The shop is cozy and great for summery moods.
Delicious delicious flavors that taste exactly as advertised. Lychee, Thai tea, and black sesame are my favorites. If you're adventurous, try the wasabi!
BuzzFeedApril 23, 2014S&C does the traditional stuff well, but the real draw is their slightly wacky, pan-Asian flavor options: taro, black sesame, Thai tea, wasabi and more.
Serious EatsOctober 26, 2011The Pumpkin Ice Cream is solid and satisfying, and best in a sugar cone and not the cup. It's that extra bit of crunch that completes this particular flavor, like a makeshift frozen pumpkin pie. Read more
The texture of the ice cream here is dense and creamy, blended into perfect flavors that are inexplicably accurate depictions of what they're named. My go-to ice cream spot.
Real Cheap EatsAugust 15, 2012If you’ve never had taro-flavored ice cream before, this is the place to try it. Made with fresh taro and taro-flavored powder, it tastes like vanilla and sweet potato—subtly starchy and floral. Read more
Ricky Adhari SwissantoJune 5, 2014…we all scream for ice cream! After all, pure bliss is a mere brainfreeze away. So whether you go classic cone or sundae-style with all the fixin’s, we won’t judge. it’s frozen yogurt.
Aleson HoJanuary 19, 2016I'm super happy that they have some Asian flavors here that I have a hard time finding like black sesame. Thai iced tea too and lots more.
AdrienJuly 30, 2016Taro and Black sesame is the most original and delicious combo you wont't find in the other ice cream shops around!
Zach DrouinAugust 9, 2014The black sesame ice cream is some of the best I've had. Not too sweet with a ton of sesame flavor. Try it in a cone.
- Ranu RajkarnikarJuly 16, 2015Love the Asian inspired flavors at this shop. Can't go wrong with green tea, red bean, thai tea or lychee. Delicious!
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 23, 2011Delicious and reinvented homemade ice cream – try the Wasabi, Ginger or Corn flavors. They also make amazing custom ice cream cakes.
This is my wives favorite ice parlor, she always gets the dark raspberry, I tend to gravitate to the chocolates, great service, can get packed.
Penn AppetitJune 4, 2012Wild flavors like wasabi, avocado, sesame, ginger, taro root, etc. but the key is how authentic they are - the avocado ice cream tastes just like an avocado, sesame is really epic.
Dana RosaSeptember 7, 2015The chocolate chip and watermelon flavors are my favorites, but they have a lot of flavors if you want to try something a little more exotic
Lots of interesting flavors! Corn, Thai tea, honey ginseng, ginger. Really creamy and subtle flavors that aren't overwhelming.
Lori LuoAugust 19, 2014Creative and Asian-inspired flavors such as lychee, green tea, Thai iced tea, and taro are sure to please a variety of palates.- Serious EatsMarch 8, 2013An East Village ice cream parlor that specializes in Asian flavors. Don't miss the taro and black sesame.
HashtagNYUAugust 29, 2014Sometimes you’ve got to go straight for the classic. This thick, rich, homemade ice cream even comes in special flavors like Gummy Bear and Black Cherry!
SusumuAugust 21, 2016I like me Lavender ice cream($4.90), $5 minimum for credit card payment, open till midnight
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 28, 2017Try as many unusual flavors as you can. I always end up getting the corn.
Patrick BaskinSeptember 28, 2014Unique flavors (green tea, banana), delicious scoops, worth a stop in
Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 8, 2015Thai tea milkshake. Do it. This is a great place to get the same old, same old flavors of ice cream, but you'd be stupid not to try something different.
Amazing ice creams. Favorites are hazelnut, Thai tea and green tea. Red bean and black sesame follow closely!
James JOctober 10, 2014Asian flavors, sure, but their standard flavors are also solid. Don't feel pressured to go crazy when all you want is chocolate.
Joanna FlammMarch 14, 2016Great mix of classic flavors and more unusual options, like wasabi or corn. Waffle cones are A+!
Aaron BatchelderAugust 4, 2016Pro tip: true homemade ice cream is a little gritty. This is really great ice cream. Good for a pop-in.
Around 20 flavors to choose from, and every one is phenomenal. My personal favorites are pistachio and coconut.
Heejung KimAugust 4, 2015Thai tea, lavender, and green tea was great. Never had better!! was upset with the service though. I understand that there were a lot of people and it was late at night but still...
Even if it looks crowded, the line moves quickly. Mint chip is ++
