SHOCKING !! I LITERALLY just had the door slammed in my face !! First time at the store ( but not my first time in ANY store - I know how stores work !!). Door was OPEN, so I went in and started looking around. Guy comes in from outside and starts staring at me.
Asks me "what are you doing?" as if he thought I was about to steal something. Then "instructs me"to stand in the doorway like a teacher talking to a five year old. And then lectured me that you DO NOT come inside. It is "full service" and you have to stand outside and order. And then slammed the door in my face. Actually slammed the door. WOW !!! Rude, disrespectful, and bad business doesn't even begin to cover it.
Best ice cream sundaes in the area! Have tried several and am never disappointed!
This place is literally a hole in the wall. You can’t go inside, it’s just a window. But the ice cream is incredible and tastes homemade. The proprietor was very very nice to us. We have found our new favorite ice cream on the upper east side. We tasted salted caramel and pistachio, and a caramel covered marshmallow.

This place used to be SO good. What happened!? Did it change ownership or something? The sundaes used to be incredible, with whipped cream and lots of toppings. And usually two or three flavors of ice cream. I always get the S’mores. This time there was practically no ice cream (it’s a sundae… like what?) and basically just a pile of congealed hot fudge and a mountain of marshmallows. At least the marshmallows were toasted ??♀️
No whipped cream, no cherry like there used to be. It used to have this delicious chocolate covered marshmallow too. It barely looked like there was one scoop of ice cream. $20 for this? Unacceptable. Our other sundae was no better but at least there was a decent amount of ice cream.

This charming little sweets shop has a unique setup, with a walk-up window at the door where you place your order. The experience is simple and efficient, and I had the chance to try a few items, all of which were excellent. The owner is knowledgeable and provided helpful insights about the ingredients and preparation, which added to the experience. It’s clear there’s real care and craftsmanship behind the sweets here. If you’re in the area and looking for a quick, quality treat, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

We got ice cream here for the family. Ice cream tasted home made and they had some unique and classic flavors. You order at a window in the front door. The guy we dealt with was super nice!

I visited this candy shop after seeing it on a viral TikTok. It is safe to say I was not disappointed at all, this has to be the best candy store in Manhattan. Matthew, one of the workers at this store is one of the nicest people I have met. He was very receptive to my request of having more sour candy in my mystery box, which I have received a lot of. He also gave a free candy along with my order which I was pleasantly surprised with. When I sat down to eat the candy I was extremely impressed by the quality and selection of the candy, worth every penny! While sitting in front of the shop, Matthew came out and talked to us about the candy, even going the extra mile to give us free Swedish candy when I was debating on going to buy another box to try the imported Swedish candy, brought out some freeze dried candy, and also brought out his dad’s famous chocolate ice cream for us to try (unlike any chocolate ice cream you have ever tried, definitely try it if you are here!). I was shocked and very touched by his kindness! Matthew and his shop are a must visit if you are in the upper east side or willing to make the trip here!

10 out of 10 highly recommended! The man who helped us out was absolutely amazing, he even gave us free waters, and while we were waiting he even gave us a little candy to snack on! Highly recommend this establishment.

My fiancé and I came here on our first date about 3 years ago and wanted to relive that experience this past weekend. So we went there on the evening before 4th of July and saw they had already closed for the holiday. Fortunately we ran into the owner who was beyond kind and courteous. He opened back up the shop and let us get some terrific ice cream to relive our cherished memory. Thank you for being so unbelievably awesome and we can’t wait to come back in the future :)

Ordered from uber eats and everything was amazing! Boyfriend got the Cola float, we split a chocolate chip cookie, and I got the edible cookie dough.
Everything was packaged perfectly & so delicious! Can’t wait to come by in person (and the cookie was to DIE for!)

I got a 1/4 lb of candy for $8, I asked for a combination of white and milk chocolate gummy bears. The milk chocolate bears were fine, but the white chocolate bears were so stale that I couldn’t eat them. You can tell they are old just by the look of them, they feel like they could pull teeth out. I’ve never had such stale candy from a candy store, even from CVS. It was like dollar store candy. My bag also seemed to have more white chocolate than milk chocolate, making me feel like they were trying to get rid of the old merchandise on my purchase. Was hoping this would be a place I could take my friends in town, but I would be too embarrassed. The shop is cute and the concept is novel, but sub par products.
