JeremyJune 18, 2017Its flavors make it the most unique and by far the best ice cream shop in NYC. I'm an ice cream fanatic and have tried them all. Olive Garden is surprisingly tasty-I wish they would make it permanent.- AmberFebruary 9, 2017Creative flavors, super high quality ice cream. Try 'tea dance'. One of my favorite ice cream places in the world. That said, I was devastated when 'Coffee and Champagne' disappeared from their menu.
Stephanie ParkJune 7, 2015all the flavors are amazing but the really nice and friendly staff top it off!!! (movie night: buttered popcorn, toasted raisin, dark chocolate flakes a surprising favorite!!)
Cherie MokOctober 29, 2020One of my favorite ice cream places in the city, and I am definitely sad that it's closing its doors this weekend. Opium Den and 9AM are my favorites and will be ordering the pint size to take home.
CarmsAugust 28, 2017Make your own donut ice cream cone! We got ours with Tea Dance (black tea leaf, lemon charcoal caramel) and 9AM (Vietnamese coffee, donut truffle) on top of a Konery chai cone.
one of the most wildly underrated and inventive ice cream shops in the city. pop-ups are good as an intro but come to their permanent location to enjoy their specials
Elysia MannJune 11, 2015Awesome innovative flavors created starting with infused cream and homemade ingredients. The dudes will encourage you to try all 11 (12th coming soon) flavors while giving you the story on each.
Noah WeissAugust 3, 2015The new ice cream hotness worth the hike for crazy creative flavors. Three little pigs was delicious: salted caramel ice cream, bacon butter, bacon praline.
Stephanie MApril 17, 2016Legitimately some of the best ice cream I've had in my life (and I love ice cream with an artery-clogging passion). The Shade flavor is very rich but a must for chocolate lovers. The 9am is 💯
Laurence BAugust 17, 2016Don't let the extreme hipster put you off, this is some of the best ice cream anywhere. Try shade. Caramelized white chocolate ganache in dark chocolate ice cream.
SiettahAugust 20, 2015Love and Hate was surprisingly delicious- root beer ice cream with ginger and molasses. I had it with a scoop of one of the #FruitWeek flavors - gold digger. Left wishing I had more!
All the classic flavors, but make sure to try the seasonal stuff too.
Caroline LeAugust 2, 2016unique and experimental ice cream- it's becoming a thing -and boy does Ice & Vice do it right. go for the Milk Money and 9AM flavors, and a flavored cone
Literally best ice cream I've ever eaten; crazily creative flavours that all work so well! Their assortment of cones are all delish as well!- Damn, this place makes some great ice cream. I usually get Shade, but I also enjoy (like isn't a strong enough adjective) Milk Money, Basic B & American Beauty — smile
Melissa D.July 29, 2015Unique flavor combinations well executed. Their tax coffee and horchata flavors were outstanding. Infused bases and we'll balanced sweet to savory elements. Yum!
Christina ChinSeptember 10, 2015Unique flavors, all yummy..friend & I got farmer boy (taste like berry pie) & milk money (choc ganache). Lil pricey for small cups but in line with other 'artisanal' ice cream shops.
AmateurConciergeAugust 16, 2015The most wacky and creative (but still delicious) ice cream flavors you've ever had. The Basic B is the best vanilla you'll ever eat. Cones are at another level as well.
Luke PackFebruary 25, 2020If you are looking for non-standard ice cream flavours, this is the place. Tastes great and quality ingredients as well. Customer service is very friendly and helpful. Small space though.
Justin OrdovezaFebruary 7, 2017This place has Avant-garde ice cream flavors. They also have flavored ice cream cones that are well worth getting. They also have pie.
Lynne VieraJuly 14, 2016adventurous flavor combos. intimidation factor is zero since they happily let you try anything you like. a few bar seats if you want to sit and enjoy the AC.
Yasmeen RoumieAugust 4, 2019They have a variety of unique flavors, including seasonal ones that are regularly updated. Try up to 2 flavors at a time, but my favorite is Milk Money.
Chop Suey ClubMay 10, 2016Our faces turn orgasmic every time we come here. We have tried almost every single flavor ever existed. Among the classics, definitely try the Opium Den on the chocolate chai cone.
Daniel ChvatikAugust 8, 2015One of the best ice cream places in the city. Love the Opium Den (must have if you like sesame). This and Morgenstern's are the best two places in the city.
Stina P.October 19, 2016amazing ice cream that lives up to its hype. try the basic b flavor with a salted blue corn cone. any flavor is worth ordering once!
Kate FurmanJune 8, 2015Check out the ceiling, it's preserved from the original tenement building. (ice cream is good here too! I recommend 3 little pigs with chunks of Bacon)
Keith KerrJanuary 7, 2018Try the Milk Money and make sure to get an interesting cone. The Pink cone is coconut macaroon.
HashtagNYUMay 5, 2016Find some of the weirdest flavors, with ingredients like Ramen, IPA, different cheeses, and more! Of course, they also have some nice twists on classics for the less adventurous souls. :)
Sarah BrinkMarch 3, 2016There isn't a button for how much I LOVE this place. The best dessert/meal/food - I've ever eaten. Skip dinner, make this your meal.
Danyel SmithDecember 31, 2015service is incredible | they will walk u through the yummy recipes | they offer tastes of everything + yes you will live for every lick. perfect post-Mission Chinese
Ashley ChanMay 15, 2017This place is honestly just making everything for Instagram hype- crazy donut ice cream sandwiches and bright-colored cones etc. The ice cream flavors all sounds interesting but fail to deliver.
The Shade is your go-to dark chocolate, and it's amazing. But really, you should try one of the unusual flavors. YOLO.
Santi AmayaJuly 27, 2015Extremely friendly staff invited me to try every flavor they had for free. Get the Tea Dance if you want to try something extremely unique. Delicious!
More interesting flavors than Morgansterns, some of which might be better...Love and Hate (root beer, ginger molasses soil) is fantastic as is Shiso Pretty (strawberry, Shiso white balsamic jam
Samantha 💃 LopezJuly 16, 2016The seasonal Panda (black rice horchata) has a creamy ice cream texture for a sorbet and is straight 🔥🔥🔥
Emily WilsonJuly 13, 2016If none of the funky flavors strike your fancy, go for the Basic B and don't feel like you let yourself down because even though it's vanilla, it's got lava salt in it and it's killer.
aneessa steilenSeptember 6, 2015Worth the trek! Shade is the perfect chocolate scoop. Milk & money is good - but a tad too sweet. I believe these flavored to be better than the unconventional flavors at OddFellows- JT AndradeJuly 28, 2017With all of the exciting flavors to choose from, don't overlook the "Basic B" (Mexican Vanilla, Black Lava Sea Salt). It goes well with the chai/dark chocolate cone.
Jen ShinAugust 29, 2015milk money was my favorite, but all of the flavors are delicious! love the creative flavor names.
Mullica ZudsiriSeptember 10, 2018I got the Vietnamese ice coffee ice cream with a coconut almond macaron cone. Pure heaven. I like they have unique cone options.
Earn NichaDecember 22, 2016The best ice cream shop in NY. Any flavour will do. It's the most creative and sophisticated parlour and I'm an ice cream fan.- Alex Cruz-LebrónOctober 20, 2017Justice is Sweet with Basic B: amazing! Also, Milk Money on a pink coconut and almond cone is delish. 💗
Peter BoyceJune 4, 2016Deep in LES. Get the Food Baby & Tea Dance, almond macaroon waffle cone. Some of the best ice cream in NYC.
Spoon UniversityJuly 19, 2017You can use any of their homemade experimental flavors in your sammie, but if I were you I’d go with their signature “Detention Ice Cream Sandwich”. Read more
Roniel TesslerAugust 4, 2017Chai cone, toasted milk ice cream. Yellow ice cream too 👌 as great as I hoped it would be
- Kisha ChandlerJune 16, 2019Unique varieties of ice cream flavors and cones. Much better quality than basic flavors!
- Michael Fox-RabinovitzSeptember 8, 2016Great little ice cream shop, quality and quirky tastes. Milk money, lavender and lemon cake all good.
Porque AMO ComerJuly 23, 2016I love this place. A must when you visit NY. My favorites: American beauty and milk money.
Russell HirschornJuly 23, 2017Amazing ice cream, very interesting flavors. Milk Money is milky and sweet, Seasonal Green was very refreshing.
Aja BrandmanSeptember 8, 2016Every flavor sounds amazing. But I can't leave without being served in a flavored cone!
