Good ice cream. No fuss fade. Sometimes a line but always delicious
Best ice cream around and there no line compared to Chinatown location
This is a branch of the redoubtable Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, with all of the superb flavors that place offers: ube, zen butter (a beguiling mixture of peanut butter and toasted sesame seeds), green tea, and so many more. A special bonus of this location: no crowds, at least when I have visited. I went with a double-cookie play on my last visit: matcha and cookies beneath almond cookie. Rich, thick stuff. I’m a fan. Note well: cash or Venmo only.
