The cones look good, too, just not my thing. Coquito and Taro are on my list to try next, but I've seen at least one new flavor I didn't notice the last time, every time I pass by. Love me a good rotation! I've been practically closing my eyes when I walk past the choc chip cookies/baked goods so can't tell you about those because I'm afraid I'll have a new obsession. The smell though...divine! Staff is patient (they let you try stuff) and always have a smile on their face. Appreciate the kind service. Space is small so it's not a hangout spot and because it's so small there can be a line, but it's worth the wait. Shout out to the cultural decor and neighborhood specific references. They got one with Dominican vanilla (iykyk!) and I saw they named one of their ice creams Fort Tryon. So happy to have Lost Borough nearby! Thank you!

This Arthur Ave spot…read moreis your answer for ice cream, Zeppoles, Churros (yeah...those too) and of course- Italian Icee. Hubs and I had the most decadent Lemon Italian Icee at an old-time pizzeria in Brooklyn not long ago. Since then, they've been our trustworthy blueprint for Lemon Icee. Gene Bean's located inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market and came up as "Ice Cream and Sorbet"- offering other sweet treats too. A big check mark for these guys because these Zeppoles are fresh and fried on the spot- but were heavy and thick- missing that true, light feel. Our Italian Icee experience was decent though. When everything was said and done, popping the trunk to enjoy our treats, was a nice ending in Little Italy at night.

The cups for the scoops didn't have lids that fit, so I ended up tying individual plastic bags around each and hoping it would work. It ended up a melted mess puddle inside each bag and not in the cups. The flavors were fine, not too much variety, but one plus was their in house affogato was excellent. Though again, the staff seemed confused how to make it and kept asking me which ice cream flavor and how many espresso shots. I'd go back for an affogato in the future, in house only.

It definitely passes the taste test - sweet, milky, and other wonderful descriptors that I'm too small brained to verbalize. After the first bite, I instantly wish I had ordered at least 2 slices. The store is small and is mainly to-go only. They have a small, standing side counter that can fit up to 2 people if you want to eat yours in-store. Lots of other flavors to pick from, but since I was only picking one I had to go with the original. Service is friendly and fast! They're really not playing around when they say on their website "creation of the best tres leches cake in new york city". I haven't had any other tres leches in the city but I believe it.

My below message was sent to Mr Lee, however I never received a response. Therefore I want to…read moreshare. I am in NY on vacay to attend the many upcoming events. My friend recommended me checking out your bakery. I was very disappointed to find a missing piece from one of my sugar cookies with sprinkles on top as if someone ate it. The missing piece was not in the bag. I enclosed pics of the cookies when I sent this message to Mr Lee. I also ordered a mixed berries pie and a peach pecan pie. The fork that was placed in the bag has crumbs on it like someone ate from it then was placed in my bag. Both of the issues are sanitary issues. Maybe you can purchase your utensils in a plastic sleeve with a napkin enclosed. I hope I hear back from you regarding this issue. I try to patronize my people's businesses but you have to be accountable.

I needed a cool down on a very humid summer New York evening. This is my second Tea Magic visit…read morebut my first in this Upper West Side location. I briefly scanned the menu located hanging overhead but was not intrigue with the options. I specifically requested plain green tea without honey and Tea Magic staff complied and heeded my hope. My drink order was fulfilled to the tee with 30% sugar, regular ice and including my default topping grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉. The grass jelly was a nice cool down, but it was insufficient paucity quantity ergo four stars. I highly despise extreme sweet drinks for the high sugar content volume and agree with former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg's limiting sugar level initiatives consumption of sugary drinks. Bloomberg would be proud of my sugar intake level. The ice was average. No comment for the food as I did not purchase any. My raison d'etre for this visit was specifically for one cold drink with grass jelly topping. The decor is cute with a stuff bunny. Nota Bene: Cash payment enables a small discount.

I'll admit it. I'm a bubble tea snob. I'm going to sound harsh here, but I had the misfortune of…read morehaving the worst one of my life from the Tiger Tai stall at the Dream Food Festival in NJ. I was genuinely shocked at how bad it was. I ordered a passion fruit green tea with boba. They only sold one size (22 oz). There were no prices listed on their menu, so I just assumed it would be around $6-$8 which is standard market price. Nope, it was $10. As soon as I got my drink, I knew it was going to be bad. Passion fruit is typically a vibrant, yellow-golden color. Mine looked way too watered down. I had two sips before I threw it out. 1.) The boba was mushy, falling apart, and lacked any flavor. It was obviously old. COME ON! COOK YOUR BOBA FRESH AND PROPERLY. It's one of the key components to a good bubble tea. 2.) The green tea was not freshly brewed and tasted like it was from a premade tea bag. 3.) The passion fruit flavor had such a weird sour taste to it??? The taste was so unappealing. I couldn't shake it. $10 for a drink that tasted like mop water. Garbage. Straight up basura.
