    Mix-in bar

    Frozen yogurt is a meal. I will die on this hill. We had to leave an amazing gelato place because Bad Mommy wanted coffee gelato, and there was none to be had. 16 Handles had COFFEE YOGURT! Woohoo! I don't know if they always do, but they did when we visited. This was excellent, because we were hungry and crabby. This is self-serve, with 16 flavors, and mix-ins. It's a bright, colorful space. The yogurt was yummy, and the flavor selection varied. I had dark chocolate truffle and mint chocolate chip. So delicious! The cashier was perfectly nice. We enjoyed our yogurt. Will definitely return, hope that they have coffee flavor.

    I'm not sure what is going on at the 2nd ave and 82nd st 16 Handles

    This place used to be so clean. It's now gross and dirty and the machines are often broken. Clean up your act!

    Summer time sweetness!

    So yesterday was national ice cream day couldn't resist but go over to 16 handles and get a cup of various flavors of their soft serve with delicious toppings

    Ambiance is nice; I like the seating. Ample space to sit and eat. Service is okay; you only really talk to the person when you check out. She was on FaceTime with someone but it was a 30 second interaction- this place is mostly self serve. Froyo 4/5: great variety of flavors. I got 3 flavors: mint chocolate chip (not creamy, kind of icy, and minty), raspberry pomegranate (bright colored, tasty but sugary it seemed like it was made with fresh berries) and my favorite a chocolate banana peanut butter flavor that was perfectly textured likely due to the banana. There were a good amount of toppings available, but mostly candied and not fruit. I got strawberry slices, rainbow cookies, and cookies and cream bites. All were good; the cookies were a little dry. Overall would definitely come back but not addicted.

    This place offers 16 different flavors and I opted for the original. It was sweet, tart and the fruit toppings for pretty good quality. You can add them on yourself and everything is serve. Mochi, however was stale when we got there around 8 PM. Four stars because you kind of have to know what you're expecting when you come to chain places.

    There are so many delicious flavors to choose from! My favorite is the Euro Tart. Any time I go to 16handles I like to sample all of the new flavors that I haven't tried to see how good they are. It's such a treat for everyone. All of the toppings to add, the bright colors in the establishment and the cool seats and TV's on the wall! Down side, on this day in particular that I decided to visit this 16 handles the stores was surprisingly messy. It is not typically like that... Maybe it was short staffed maybe it was because there were a lot of kids there that night. Aside from that I would definitely recommend! Get Some Fro-Yo!!!

    Soft serve ice cream on 2nd Ave between 81st and 82nd. They have 16 flavors with 2 swirls. Also a bunch of toppings and a small party room in back (see photo). You don't see that too often but could be useful for a small party for kids. I'm

    I came here hoping to get the salted caramel froyo which I had at another location and LOVED. But they didn't have that flavor here. Not their fault, but I was kind of disappointed. My cup was $5 and pretty filling which is a nice price in nyc. Tons of fun toppings. Went in a Friday night and there was one girl working. She did great but seemed stressed out. Lots of seating which is nice.

There are tvs playing Asian music videos and music playing. Usually xing fu locations only have standing room only. This puts this location on another lvl then the rest. I tried some unique drinks 1st was the strawberry Boba strawberry milk tea. The strawberry taste was distinct yet balanced and not overly sweet. Also there was not an overly artificial taste. As with all locations the Boba is the star. The strawberry Boba has a nice sweet chew that had great texture and bounce. The green tea was strong tea flavor without being bitter it was not overly sweet I will definitely recommend this location specifically because of the seating and ambiance Service was quick and packaging was efficient

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once.

I love that they draw inspo from Asian snacks to derive their flavors - it's what makes Sundaes Best unique! I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
