This place always had a line and honestly it’s worth the hype. Simple but unique flavors you won’t find elsewhere in New York.

Best ice cream in the world and not close. Texture is sometimes inconsistent. Some days it tastes different than other days, particularly how icy it is. Doesn't deliver well either, melts on arrival and texture isn't the same, so make sure you buy in person. Not every flavour is the best either. Ratings of each flavour below.Update: delivery has worked 2x in a row lately, fingers crossed it will stay this wayStrawberry pistachio pesto 10/10 - perfect combination. The GOAT is back. Get this while it's available.Peanut butter hokie 9.9/10 - peanut smooth is incredible very strong peanut flavour and a touch salty, Hokie adds a nice touch.Cookies and cream 8/10 - best cookies and cream I've ever had but this place still has better optionsMint chip 8.25/10 - tastes like mint chipRaspberry cheesecake 8.9/10 - tastes like raspberry cheesecake. surprisingly a little tartCookie dough 6.5/10 - Ben and Jerry's is better. Overall pretty bland.Salted chocolate - 9.9/10 salty yummy so rich excellent chocolate flavour. Clearly a top 3 choice here, the top 3 are in a tier of their own (SPP, peanut butter, SC)Vietnamese coffee 9.2/10 - I miss coffee, really rich delicious milky chocolate flavour. Super deliciousPeanut butter cup - 9.3/10 excellent inspite of the weak chocolate cups, peanut smooth is better.Peanut butter Reese pieces - 9.26/10 worse than peanut smooth, the cheap Hershey's chocolate brings down the overall flavor.Pineapple salted egg yolk - 9.25/10 solid flavor, very good, fruity and yummy. If you like salted egg yolk this is a big win for youCinnamon raisin toast 9/10 very cinnamon yRaspberry dark chocolate - 8/10 not that excitingBlueberry milk chocolate - 8/10 not that exciting but still goodPistachio black currant jelly 8.75/10 very solidAvocado - 8.5/10. Tastes like avocadoBanana durian - 8.75/10 doesn't have the disgusting durian flavourcaramel corn 8.9/10 solid flavourmango passionrice 7.75/10 nice mango flavour but it's veganyuzu Yamazaki 6.75/10 - some people love this and rave about it but I'm not a fan. apparently it does a good job of replicating the flavoursalted pretzel caramel 9.1/10 Really good but not tier 1. I have eaten multiple pints of this still.Caramel corn - 8.9/10 very caramelyPeaches and clotted cream - 8.5/10 peachy goodnessGreen tea pistachio - 7/10 mehMadagascar vanilla - 7.75/10 pretty good but I'm not a big vanilla eater. I have heard that other people love it.black sesame - 7.5/10, just not that good but the texture was fine even though it was vegan. I didn't even realize it was vegan. But there are better places to eat black sesame ice creambanana macadamia praline - 8.4/10 nice flavour, strong banana presence.Bubble gum 9/10 if you really like bubble gum ice cream this flavor is wild. Very intense flavour. Half a scoop was sufficient, the second half was less good, very richHazelnut caramel - 9.15/10 really good, tastes as advertised, flavor is more mutedRaspberry black sesame - 8.75/10 good, but I would have liked more black sesame. It's mostly raspberryPeanut butter butterfinger - 7.8/10 this is the worst peanut one by far. They muted the peanut ice cream flavour big time. I still love peanut butter ice cream but yeah. If you directly compare the ice cream from this to the other peanut butter ones, it tastes way different. If I didn't love peanut butter ice cream, this would be the worst flavor I've had so far. So my rating is biased up. At this time the peanut butter Reese pieces is available, so strongly recommend that instead.Dulce de leche graham cracker - 8.75/10 quite good, if you like dulce de leche this is a winMidnight brownie batter - 7/10, vegan, would be 9.5/10 if not vegan. Wish they had a not vegan option.Hazelnut rockiest road - 9/10. This is what my dad would order. Classic old man flavor done well. Quite yum.Mint cookies and cream 9.2/10 love this, minty and cookiesBanana malt ball custard - 9.32/10 their banana flavored ice cream is extremely goodLychee lemonade 8.5/10 - flavor is a bit muted

Went to get a pint and was told the pints are prepackaged and they don't offer all the flavors. If I can't get the flavor I want I rather get a pint of Jerry's for half the cost seriously. Why is it so complicated to do hand packed pints? No clue.Also service leaves a lot to be desired.

Never been somewhere where the staff seem so perplexed and overwhelmed by the simple task of scooping ice cream. The lines are not because they’re prodigiously busy, it’s because they’re incompetent and have terribly inefficient operating procedures. Go somewhere else. Also the ice cream had a poor mouthfeel and my mouth was coated with fat.

Looked cool and hoping to try it out, but there were three people standing behind the counter and zero people servicing anyone. I waited five minutes and decided it wasn’t worth trying a new store.

I don't know why people like salted caramel pretzel flavor... for me it feels like whole grain of salt stuck inside pretzel.
