I've been coming here for years. I love the lavender ice cream. There's a little bit of seating inside and outside as well. Staff is nice and the line usually moves fast. Prices are average. No bathroom on site. read more

Sunday and Cones has an old school ice cream shop feel that immediately wraps you in nostalgia. It's exciting to see all the flavors they have available..there are two long fridges full of options. I like that they have the classics but also unexpected twists like black sesame, Thai tea, strawberry matcha etc. The texture is creamy and soft and there's two cone options to choose from. I usually get a cup with 2 flavors with a cone on top - always a hit. The sales associates let you try samples and I always appreciate that. TBH it's hard to make a choice here because there are so many good flavors! This time I did black sesame and tiramisu. The black sesame was such a bold flavor I'm a fan! Tiramisu tasted boozy with chunks of lady finger cookies inside - also delicious! read more

The ice cream is super melty and soft. Don't love that. Tastes really sugary and isn't smooth or naturally sweet like ice cream can and should feel. The maple flavor was yummy. read more

An unassuming ice cream shop in the East Village, Sundaes and Cones is perfect as an after-dinner treat. I love their variety and their Asian-flavored ice cream. Definitely try the black sesame, which was mild yet sweet. Priced well and there's a decent amount of space in the store if you want to linger (only a few tables, but lots of standing room). Staff is friendly and generous with samples. I'd love to come back to enjoy their other flavors. read more

The ice cream is rich and creamy! I got corn and black sesame. Anytime there is a black sesame dessert, I am running towards it! The shop was busy on a Thursday night, but we were able to grab seats. Friendly staff members, cute ambiance. Flavors you won't find anywhere else. read more

Top notch ice cream. It is rich and delicious. I've been sampling different ice cream shops in Manhattan lately, and so far this is an excellent choice. read more

Absolutely obsessed with the aesthetic and delicious treats here! The exterior and interior of this store are so adorable - it is the cutest ice cream shop. I visited on a weekend evening, and it was very busy. The employees were super efficient and kept the lines moving along. I was impressed by the gorgeous cakes that were on display, with so many pastel colors and fun designs! There was a fair amount of seating, but we had to wait a bit to snag a table since there were so many customers. The store's range of ice cream flavors looked absolutely amazing. There was a mix of both classic flavors and creative, unique flavors (Thai tea and taro were both delicious options). The individual scoops of ice cream were honestly a bit pricey, but I thought their "build your sundae" option was super reasonable. You could get three scoops of ice cream sandwiched between banana halves with various toppings for an affordable price. My group of three people had a hard time finishing the sundae, so it was definitely the best option price-wise. It was also just so delicious, with rich ice cream and tons of toppings. I can't wait to come back and try more flavors! read more

Nice service. They let me sample quite a few different flavors (of which there are many.) They also have coffee and cakes. Not cheap for ice cream but I love the Asian-inspired flavors. Taro single scoop cup $6ish but worth it for a sweet treat! Not much seating but grab some and go! read more

Cute little ice cream shop close to Union Square in Manhattan. The flavors are all very unique. I ordered two scoops to share and it was the perfect amount for two people. We had the Matcha rose ice cream and black sesame ice cream. The black sesame ice cream is so rich and nutty, and you can taste the black sesame seeds in it as well. The texture of the black sesame was what stood out to me. Every scoop had little bits of ground up sesame which to me, tells me they use real ingredients. I really liked the taste overall. Would say it's a "must try" if you're a fan of sesame ice cream. The matcha rose was refreshing as well. I thought it complimented the black sesame well. There wasn't a bitter matcha taste but you do taste the matcha and rose flavor there. Staff was attentive and polite too! They let us taste test flavors without rushing us. (Bonus points because they give a good amount for tasting so you can really taste it!) The store also has some seating so if you wanted you, you could eat there. They also had some chairs outside too. I would come back to try other flavors if I'm in the area. Overall good experience! read more

cute ice cream shop tucked away in the middle of east village with such strooonngg ice cream flavors. My roomie and I both had the pistachio almond and loved it so much we almost got an entire pint of it. It wasn't too sweet, very creamy, and the best part were the pieces of almonds! Workers were great and very willing to offer samples. The portion sizes were very big, and at 6.50 for a single scoop in a cone, I would def come back. read more

Sundaes and Cones is a handcrafted ice cream spot in the East Village, offering a variety of interesting Asian-inspired flavors along with the rest of their extensive set of options. We stopped by to get a treat, so we went for the Banana, double scoop, in a cup. This was super delicious, creamy, and yummy - kind of reminded you of Korean banana milk and banana-flavored Runts; some ice crystals here and there, but overall, pretty enjoyable. Service was very kind and friendly! There's limited seating inside, and a couple of benches right outside of their storefront. +Banana ice cream +kind & friendly service read more

Stopped by for a quick treat after dinner. The inside is a bit dark/not the most well-kept, so I was a little put off at first, but I thought overall the ice cream was delicious, if not a bit pricey. I would highly recommend the green tea rose swirl - I love matcha, and it worked super well with the aromatic floral flavours of the rose mixed in. Like I said, price point is on the high side (~$10 for 2 scoops) but nothing too crazy for NYC nowadays. Wouldn't be too opposed to coming back again, they do have a wide range of pretty interesting flavour choices. read more

The pistachio is melt in your mouth good! Lots of yummy flavors, some of the creamiest ice cream you'll ever taste. Cute little store front with an array of flavors. Had to do a double scoop just for the heck of it. Fast, polite service. I recommend going in for your ice cream needs. read more

I freaking love this place. It has continued to stand through the test of time, even now after the emergence of other artisanal ice cream chains. I got the matcha rose ice cream in a cone and it hit the spot after dinner. I love their cute little bench outside. read more

The Asian flavors here are quite unique and good-love that they allow samples! The black sesame, lavender, and hazelnut are notable callouts however would steer clear of the matcha rose swirl; it's more on the rose and less on the matcha earthy taste. As a small business they are pricey at $7.50 for a single scoop and $10 for a double. Worth the experience if you're in the neighborhood, but wouldn't recommend going out of your way for! read more

Great flavor selection. Eclectic variety with some western favorites (chocolate, vanilla), some eastern favorites (such as sesame, matcha, and Thai tea), and some surprising options such as corn. I had one scoop of black sesame on a waffle cone. Portion size was good for $8.50. Ice cream was rich and creamy. Flavor was unmistakably sesame. No hiding behind sugar, salt, or any other ingredient. Waffle cone was top tier too. It was thin yet sturdy. Very crispy and no leakage. Service was ultra quick and accommodating. read more

As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the most heavenly sweet smell. Such a nice large selection of ice cream flats and cookies. Everything was so fresh.

Used Apple Pay as payment method. Enjoyed my time read more

It's the hottest day so far this year so I wanted to get some ice cream and tried this spot. Nothing special though. There were literally ice chips in my ice cream. I've have had better ice cream from the supermarket. Service eh. Not that friendly. One guy literally gave me a sample but then realized he gave me too many chocolate chips (which is what I wanted to taste) and I ended up with essentially vanilla. read more

This is a bit of an institution since this place has been around for SO long and I actually had it a long time ago but recently thought to make a revisit. I like that they have a lot of east asian inspired flavors like black sesame, ube, etc. While I liked their ice cream, I think the ice cream game has changed and improved immensely over the last ten years and I'm not sure that I would place them in my top 5 ice cream spots in NYC anymore - but you will still get a good scoop of ice cream here and if I were in the area I would consider coming back. Their black sesame was pretty good, definitely on par if not a little better than the other black sesame scoops i've had around. The corn was good, but was a bit icy, and had a heterogeneous texture that I didn't love, which was sad because I do love corn. Oh well! Until next time Sundaes and Cones :) read more

This place is absolutely delicious!! The matcha rose and lavender combo was to die for and not too sweet which was great! The staff were super sweet and gave out samples. There's minimal seating but we made it work read more

Sundaes and Cones - Matcha Rose & Lavender - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

Food: This is one of my favorite ice cream shops in New York City. They have a variety of flavors, including Asian and non-Asian flavors. Some flavors are seasonal and change from time to time, but my favorite is the almond pistachio and lychee. The Asian flavors include black sesame, taro, and Thai iced tea. They also make premade and custom ice cream cakes which are very pretty. Service: Staff are friendly and happy to give you samples if you want to try a flavor or two. Ambiance: There are a few tables in the shop as well as two benches outside for seating. Overall, I would highly recommend this ice cream shop! read more

5 stars for their taro and lavender ice cream cake that became an absolute smash at my cat's 2nd year old birthday party! Yes, you heard that right. She can't rate it herself but all 6 of her beloved guests wolfed it down with pure satisfaction. Cake itself was readily available to our luck. We called in the day of and asked for cake options to be picked up same day. They were kind enough to write a custom message on it, free of cost. They're very thorough on the phone: taking payment upfront, custom message with confirmation of correct spelling, attempting to describe the aesthetic of the cake to us, etc. I felt rest assured that nothing would go wrong (IT DIDN'T!) There was quite an applause for the quality of the frosting, which people mentioned reminded them of a very light and less sweet melted marshmallow. The flavor of the cake was exquisite--the taro and lavender melted together in harmonious bliss. The size was perfect for the party of 6 of us, and even the hosts were able to grab an extra slice each. Price was reasonable for an ice cream cake at quick notice. I definitely wouldn't have trouble encouraging myself to buy another cake just for the pure taste of it. Marvelous--no critique necessary. I'm so thankful that they had a floral and Asian inspired flavor profile in stock. All the other options weren't up my alley, so this was super clutch. In the future, I'd really likely instead order the cake a week in advance to ensure that I could get the flavors I want with a design choice in mind (wasn't important for a cat, but definitely important for a hooman!) read more

Rich flavors in a very creamy base (their ice cream leans more on the softer side compare to other shops). 5/5 Thai Tea -- they do it here probably the best in the city-- very strong tea flavor! 4.7/5 Black Sesame - also very strong flavor, but a bit gritty in texture 4.7/5 Green Tea and Rose -- nice balance of the tea and subtle floral flavor 4.5/5 Mint Chip -- super minty!! Will overpower the other flavors a bit if you get them together read more

Came here with friends one day since we were passing by walking the dogs. Got three different flavors for all of us to try. I usually go for my basic flavor mint chip. I licked mine and just gave it to my other friend to finish. Doesn't taste that good to me. Don't think I'll be back. read more

This ice cream shop is one of my favorite ice cream shops in NYC! Love that it's family and Asian owned (I've seen the cantonese workers on multiple occasions). The workers are very quick and efficient and the ice cream flavors are diverse and yummy. The inside is quite big and there's limited seating indoors. This place can get crowded, especially if it's hot outside or it gets later into the day and it's dessert time. My go to is always black sesame without a doubt - super rich and literally tastes like having bites of black sesame. I've tried lavender which was seasonal and good, and I just tried the pistachio almond which is really good too! Not the greatest pistachio I've had, as the taste is more subtle, but still good nonetheless with the almond pieces. I'd recommend coming here anytime!! I've been here multiple times and plan to come back for more, especially in the summer. See you guys again soon! :) read more

i've been coming here since my freshman year of undergrad (9 years ago) and still stop by every time i'm in the area. i especially love their sesame flavor, but their green tea and taro are also amazing! read more

in an age of overabundance and over-convenience (meaning too much of everything that is way to easy to get)...Sundaes and Cones is very much a neighborhood spot (AWESOME!) that does not cater to a consume-more mentality and doesn't really maintain a robust digital presence (which is a good sign they are focused on the ice cream and experience). the digital footprint of Sundaes and Cone is modest to say the least -- an old timey website and barely updated social media...and i love it because it doesn't lean into the absolute embarrassment of attention seeking beyond maintaining things (like a website) for basic business. Sundaes and Cones remains a casual friendly ice cream fantasy island that offers classic flavors (like Chocolate, Cookie Dough, etc.) as well as more off-the-beaten path ones that feel Asian influenced like (Sesame, Taro, etc.)...ice cream cones, cups, pints, etc. are available along with sundaes, milkshakes, egg creams, and more. the concentration on ice cream quality is so clear and palpable that you can taste it from first bite to last. i have toured through many of the flavors--the mint chocolate chip is so good. mintiness that is NOT chemically enhanced but tastes like actual mint, smooth cream ice cream that is not overly sweet, and even the chocolate chips are thinly shaven, solidly chocolatey, and have some snap to them. typically, i order a cone upside down in a cup to enjoy spoonfuls of ice cream with the crunch of the cone as my final bite treat. tbh, any of the flavors of ice creams or sorbets are going to be good and hardly ever miss. the ice cream hits the spot whether it is winter, spring, summer, or fall. to me, spring (or early fall) is a sweet spot for ice cream when it is just warm enough that you want something cool and sweet with the weather allowing easy walks throughout the East Village. however, whenever you decide to give Sundaes and Cones a spin is a good call whether it's a frozen tundra of winter or NYC's humid summer. the ice cream parlor has some seating with benches outside. it's very clean and well-maintained with that soft warm ice cream parlor vibes of years long since passed. as the weather warms up, lines here build especially during the weekends as well as after dinner times. staff are friendly and patient. there's not a better recipe for an evening walk in NYC than dinner in the East Village, then walk over to Sundaes and Cones, and enjoy that sweet life stroll as you explore a neighborhood and devour that fine ice cream!* *all that praise aside, i got a Americano coffee here recently and i would say it was passably good. while i won't ding my rating of Sundaes and Cones bc it is really an outstanding ice cream place, i'd bypass the coffee menu here as the staff here don't seem to be well-versed in coffee-making from my recent experience and probably don't make coffee drinks enough to have it down packed. read more

Overall, it's a nice option for the area. We came after dinner for a pre-Broadway show treat. There are a ton of options! Nothing so terribly inventive or interesting but truly a safe conglomerate of flavors. We went for two different options and the portions were huge. Big fan of the orange cream. The space itself is by no means glamour or terribly nice and it could use a bit more seating. We got stuck in a thunderstorm and were lucky enough to grab seating but we took the last ones. Not the trendiest/hippiest looking spot but if you're looking for a standard ice cream experience without so many frills this is a good option if you're nearby. read more

I had begun to give up my search for the best ice cream in NYC when I happened to see Sundaes and Cones on my way back from a nearby restaurant. The interior is designed like a modern take on the traditional ice cream parlor setup. There are a few seats to sit down both inside the shop. The top two things I look for in ice cream are 1) flavor infused (not vanilla + mix-in) and 2) creaminess. Sundaes and Cones delivered on both of these criteria! I got a single scoop of taro ($6.30), and I was also pleasantly surprised this was taro (not ube)! If you like firmer ice cream, you probably won't appreciate the consistency as much as I did. My one reservation with this shop is the price point. I went back and forth on whether or not to dock a star because $6 for a single scoop without toppings is very pricey. That being said, when I go back, I need to see if they accept cash, because I'm pretty sure there was a credit card fee (price on menu is about $5.50 for single scoop). I will definitely be back to try the other flavors, and I will update the review accordingly. If you have the same ice cream criteria as me, then definitely add Sundaes and Cones to your list! read more

The black sesame flavor was super nutty and rich! I think this is more reasonable priced ice cream for the city and the scoop size was generous. I liked to see the array of Asian-inspired flavors. I would recommend and come back. Staff was friendly and there is an option to try some samples. The sugar and wafer cones are the same price as a cup, and special made waffle cones cost a bit more. I sampled the Honeydew flavor and it was too sweet for my liking. A very strong honeydew flavor. Unfortunately they're out of the famed lavender due to supply issues but a reason to come back! read more

This is one of my favorite Asian-owned ice cream shops in the city! It's a surprisingly spacious store, (well air-conditioned!), and has some small tables inside and outside. The flavors are delicious and Asian-inspired, ranging from savory flavors such as black sesame and corn, to fruity ones like banana and taro. My favorites are probably the Corn (so delicious and very corny!) and the visually beautiful Matcha Rose. The people who work there are also the nicest! I think I tried at least 3-4 different flavors before deciding and they were the most patient and helpful! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're a fan of Asian-inspired ice creams! read more

10 out of 10 spot for the perfect ice cream cone! My bestie and I happened to just walk by here, and decided to stop in for a scoop. They have a ton of flavors! All the classics, plus lots of interesting flavors! Corn ice cream? I mean come on! I had a scoop of pralines and cream in a sugar cone. OMG was it amazing! The ice cream was perfection and the cone tasted so fresh and homemade. I think I found my new go-to spot for ice cream! The shop is small, but there are a few tables inside and outside. It is the perfect spot to grab a cone in the summer and it's so close to Union Square! I will definitely be back! read more

After wandering around the area for a bit, we settled on getting ice cream at Sundaes and Cones. They have your typical flavors as well as some more unique ones such as corn and wasabi. They let you sample the ice cream, so if you want to try them before ordering, you can. Sampled the sesame, Thai tea, and green tea. All three of the flavors were strong. Thai tea and green tea were on the sweeter side though. The ice cream itself is smooth and creamy. A bit on the softer side. Decided on a double scoop of Thai tea and green tea to be split among three people. The scoops are sizable and easily sharable between people. read more
