Come here. Get the S'mores Sundae. Buy chocolate and candy you can't find anywhere else anymore. This place is an absolute gem. Small in size, but large in quality of employees and selection. Would absolutely come back the next time I am in NY!
Stumbled upon here because all the other dessert spots I was looking on via Yelp were closed for the day. I really love the fact they are open late.. more shops in the city need to be like this!
Upon walking in, the shop is really small. There is no seating inside. You wait in line which can go out the door (they keep the door closed because of AC) and after you order, there are plenty of benches outside to sit. The store has all the sweets/candy you can imagine for sale.
But since it was a really hot and humid day, my friend and I got the Mango Sorbet and Pomegranate Ice Cream. Both flavors were really good. If you want something lighter definitely go with a sorbet. I thought it was so cute that they put the ice cream in a Chinese take out box.
Overall good experience. Friendly staff, quick service, reasonable prices and $1 off your $10 order if you check in via Yelp
I thought it was ok.
20 minute wait for ice cream… I'm not one to wait for sweets that much. People are super cool inside though. Maybe overpriced? I don't know, I cant judge quality ice cream.
I'd return if people wanted to, but not specifically for a craving.
Had a wonderful experience here.
Came by last Saturday around 11 pm and it was still busy!
Loved their selections!
Gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato & Odd Fellows. Chocolate bars from Mast Brothers, lots of cute novelty candy, and nostalgic candy as well. Melt ice cream sandwiches, and you can even get a donut ice cream sandwich.
I asked to try an ice cream flavor, but samples were not available that night. To my surprise I was offered a complimentary "tiny scoop" on top of whatever ice cream I chose. Needless to say, service was extremely friendly. They surely aim to please the customer. They are happy to make suggestions and answer questions. I got a scoop of coffee crunch and a tiny scoop of sprinkles ice cream in a pretzel cone. It was awesome and it made my night.
The shop is small but there are some benches outside. They also have a loyalty program for their ice cream, which is dope. Will definitely come back! Lovely shop. A gem in this boring part of the neighborhood.
I came here with my coworker because we were ready to end our day sweet. This tiny shop is full of candy from the ceiling to the floor. If you walk in undecided, expect a long conversation. The shop is a combination of other joints. This usually sounds like a great deal but I wasn't so happy with my expensive ice cream donut. I guess I don't like underwest donuts because I've had Odd fellows ice cream before and loved it. I ordered the recommended option and had the brown butter donut with coffee crunch and sea salt caramel ice cream. The donut was stall and the texture tasted similar to the grocery store prepackaged donuts. The ice cream was of course good. I also tried the dark chocolate donut off my coworker and that confirmed it was the donut. No bueno. They have a table outside if you wanted to gobble nearby.
This place serves the BEST ice cream in NYC and not enough people know about it.
This small quirky candy shop is dishing out some of the most amazing ice cream flavors that are unique and delicious. They have flavors such as brown sugar to Thai ice tea but the one flavor that I keep going back for is the TOASTED MARSHMALLOW. I don't know how they do it but the ice cream mimics perfectly a toasted marshmallow. You even get the smokey-ness you'd expect when you roast it over an open fire.
I've tried the brown sugar as well and it has the most intense Carmel flavor and it's not overtly Sweet.
The Thai ice tea is true to its name and holds the iconic flavors of a traditional Thai ice tea.
But I'm gonna say it again. You must try the toasted marshmallow. You will not be disappointed.
The single scoops here are very generous. You can have it on a cone OR opt for a scoop that comes in a take out container! But if you still think that's more than you can handle they serve a tiny scoops that's about the size of a golf ball.
The staff here are super friendly and they make you feel welcome.
I'm ranting about there ice cream but they are a candy store and they house an amalgam of candy options that are second to none.
You must come here! They have the best ice cream. Spread the word!
I'll be back… For sure
Cutest little shop! A little out of the way of everything, but definitely worth the trip. My favorite part of it is not only the variety of all things sugary that it offers, but also the fact that it serves mini ice cream cones! These are just the cutest for a small treat without having to feel guilty afterwards. I got the OddFellows' Honey Blueberry Buttermilk flavor, and it was delicious! Kinda made me wish I got the larger version. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely try out more flavors! Also have to mention that the server was super kind and patient with me!
I have been to lots of places and never, ever did I feel so disrespected and insulted. My friends and I came in as very happy customers, as most people are when they are going to have ice cream! The cashier was very condescending and rude to us, for no obvious reason. The manager, instead of apologizing for his behavior, made excuses for him. Apparently, he had a "very long and exhausting day".
Seriously, we all have bad days, but it is so not an excuse to act that way with people. The restoration world would be a very bad and unhappy place if everybody decided it was ok to let their personal life justify their rude behavior.
Even if this place sold the best ice cream in the whole world, which is not the case by the way, I would never set foot in there again.
I usually always try to put one nice comment about places I enjoyed less, but it that case, I can not.
