Great Ube Gelato, But Not Worth the Price Tag

I have to admit, the Ube gelato at Brown Butter Creamery is fantastic and pretty much the reason I keep going back. It’s got a unique flavor that’s hard to find elsewhere, and it’s become a favorite of mine.

That said, the prices here feel way too high for a neighborhood spot. This is Brooklyn, not lower Manhattan, so it would be nice if they adjusted to serve the community that keeps them in business. On top of that, the staff isn’t exactly the friendliest. They seem comfortable among each other, but their people skills could use some work to make the experience feel more welcoming.

In the end, I’ll go back for the Ube, but I’d love to see some changes that make this place feel a bit more community-friendly.

Good ice cream but it’s not nice that they only allow you to try 2 flavors and they won’t tell you about this rule until you ask for the third. They also don’t serve water, you only have the option to buy. No one is expecting over the top generosity in New York but this is a bit cheap ?

My go to place for sorbet and gelato with kids after hot summer day. The cakes and banana pudding is also good!!!

Flavors are being rotated and they're always delicious so always nice to try something new.

I went with a friend, we asked to try two flavors. I bought the two flavors I sampled. After I made a purchase, my friend asked for a third sample. The person working told my friend no, and that they only allow two samples per person. I had just made a $10 purchase for two scoops of ice cream, and my friend was treated as if she was just asking for free ice cream. We clearly had the intention to buy ice cream, as I had just done so, but the attitude of the staff and the cheapness of this business practice really turned us off towards the establishment. It is a shame, because the ice cream is delicious. A two sample rule, without informing people until they request the third, is extremely stingy and cheap-- especially for New York. Do better.

I had the passion fruit and Rasberry oat. The passion fruit was great!! It taste exactly like passion fruit and had like a passion fruit custard in it. The Rasberry oat was okay. It was $1 extra for it which I wasn’t told there would be an upcharge. It isn’t any signs that shows which icecream/sorbet is extra. I think they should implement it so customers are aware or servers should state that it would be an extra upcharge.

I sampled the soursop and I didn’t really taste any flavor. Definitely try the 2 samples.
