My niece's to go ice cream spot in the summer. Decent amount of flavors to choose from, even some exotic ones. Also, vegan options available. Love sitting out front eating it. Service is polyester and timely. No real space inside. Overall, clean and good experience e.

Adorable little store with homemade ice cream and shakes. Picked up a simple malted vanilla milkshake. It def hit the spot on a warm sunny day in the city. Had the pleasure of sampling the ube and pandan ice cream. They don't allow samples but must of caught the worker on a good day. She was sweet and super friendly! And was told how the boss actually makes them himself using thier ice cream soft serve kinda machine right there. And freeze lychee and peel them and it goes straight into the machine! How much more homemade can that be?! Next time I'm in the city? I'll be grabbing some fresh ice cream! Sad I didn't right there and then but enjoyed my creamy vanilla milkshake!

Unbelievable place. Very low key, very legit. Super lovely staff and just shockingly incredible ice cream, particularly the soft serve where they can mix it with the flavor you pick. I did soft serve with black sesame, my wife did with birthday cake + rainbow sprinkles mixed it. 10/10. First time we've ever gotten a small ice cream anywhere and wanted a large. Top!

What once was Emack & Bolio's in the UES is now Lilo Creamery. Not sure how they might be related or if at all, but I was curious to check out their ice cream after hearing about their opening. Loved the wide variety of flavors with some with a geographical focus (Maine, Boston, Hudson Valley etc) and another on Asian influenced flavors like pandan and ube. Sad that they don't get to do samples :( because it was hard to pick one thing out of their flavors, let alone decide between ice cream, soft serve, and milkshake/smoothie. Ultimately I decided on the PB Pie with a cookie crumvle cone because I was feeling peanut butter and chocolate vibes. It was indeed filled with peanut butter flavors and small reeses pieces. Ice cream texture was solid but pretty standard. The cookie crumble pieces were tasty, but the chocolate dip was too sweet for me. Rest of the waffle cone was standard. The layout of the store is the same as before and the flavors/cones echo that of Emack's. With the small space and small door, lines were formed quickly once it got busy. Each server takes "a party" even if you pay separately so the flow isn't as streamlined. Overall tasty ice cream for the neighborhood but make sure to pick your flavors ahead of time!

New to the neighborhood! The look-and-feel is more streamlined than the previous Emack's. There are still some innovative flavors, and there's a little more representation by Asian flavors, like black sesame soft serve. I tried the peach cobbler, which felt very seasonal. I got the blueberry cobbler, which wasn't as good - not as much fruit flavor coming through. I liked the creaminess of the pistachio; it reminded me of green tea ice cream. Nice owner and quick service at the counter.

Stopped by Grace Street while looking for something sweet and a little different, and this…read moredefinitely fit the bill. We saw the milk tea boba toast on the menu and had to try it. It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good. It's one of those desserts you probably wouldn't get every day, but worth trying at least once. Fun to share and definitely something different from the usual desserts.

This is my go-to bathroom + sweet treat spot in KTown! There's typically a line, but it usually…read moremoves quickly and there's usually free seating as well. They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!
