We brought cooked/frozen Samoan food for our PA family (IYKYK), and I was worried because our NY hotel did not have a restaurant/freezer space for us to use. Checked Yelp and Armato Ice & Firewood Co. popped up. I messages the number at 8pm, and Tony responded within 15min. I explained the situation, and he apologized because he said my order was too small for a delivery (I only needed 5lbs), so I would have to pick up dry ice from their shop on E 88th Street. Cool, no problem. Next morning, 8:30 am, i went to business address to pick up 5lbs, and called Tony but he was stuck in rush hour traffic for another hour. He graciously offered to drop off dry ice to my hotel before noon, during their normal deliveries. Even though it was a small order, he understood my situation and cared enough to help me keep my food frozen for the next few days, so my PA family can enjoy authentic Samoan food. Thank you for your help, Tony! Your kindness and efficiency shows that the Aloha spirit exists in New York! Mahalo

Places like Rite Aid in my building started stocking up on ice. This company is on notice 24 hours and will deliver it to your home or business. This morning the very friendly employees were loading the freezer in my neighborhood. These are well stocked for the delivery men to pick up the ice for delivery when you need ice. I'm telling you that if you have a picnic or big celebration you will have plenty of ice and it's delivered to your door. I'm recommending!

But coming in, I really like how it has a lot of Asian ice cream flavors! There were multiple flavors that caught my eye, but I ultimately went with strawberry shortcake and custard. I enjoyed both! For the donut itself, it came premade, so that meant the flavors were limited. The flavor I got was Ube Pandan coconut, and that was something I enjoyed! I did wish it was done fresh so you had more flavors to choose from. And since it's been in the freezer, that also meant the donut wasn't as soft as you get from a fresh donut.

We've been going to here for many years and my favorite still is an ice cream crepe with two matcha scoops and red bean on top! They come with whip cream, French cookie and a chocolate wafer. I took my fiancé here hoping I can convince him to get the fruit paradise because it's also pretty good but he had opted for a plain vanilla and birthday cake scoop with marshmallows which he loved too. It's a small shop with about 6 seating but they're usually available when I stop by.

My very first drink was their purple rice drink as recommended by the staff but it was not to my liking. My mom, daughter, and I, especially like their black sesame yogurt with no sugar. At first, I worried that it would be somewhat bitter since I find black sesame paste to be bitter without any sugar but nope, it was great. We have tried the strawberry yogurt with no sugar. Was not smart of me. Too sour. The mango yogurt was good. My sister liked it. She and my dad also likes the durian. I am not a durian fan so I cannot comment on it. It is great that they now have different sizes! I can get a large to share with my daughter. Do not forget to ask for their stamp card! Fill it up and earn yourself a free drink!

The drink had the perfect balance of flavor--not too sweet, very refreshing, and the green tea taste came through nicely. The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy, just the right texture.

The menu is pretty expansive and covers what you'd expect from a boba place, including fresh fruit teas, brown sugar bobas, yakult drinks, matcha ones, and the normal milk teas. It's interesting that the drinks only came in one size according to the type. I ordered a honeydew milk tea, and tried to get it as a small or medium, but they only had large. Boba was also an extra 75 cents. The drink itself was ok, it was both very sweet and watery. You couldn't taste any tea flavor. The boba was below average and there was hardly any in the drink. It didn't even fully cover the bottom of the cup. They were pretty soft, but didn't have any flavor. My friend got the standard milk tea and it also tasted pretty watery. The service was also pretty slow. The woman who took our order was a bit rude and we had to actively try to flag her down, even though the restaurant was empty. Overall, I wouldn't come back for boba. Tbar, which is nearby is a much better alternative.
