I've been gifted seed + mill halva before but today I came in person for the first time and had their soft serve, which completely lived up. It was absolutely delicious. It's an oat milk soft serve with seed + mill tahini mixed in for a tahini soft serve, with caramel drizzle on top as well as halva crumbles. I wasn't in the mood for dessert initially and we got one to split but I absolutely could have eaten my own. The portion size is appropriate and you don't feel like you had too much sugar after having it. It's just perfect. I cannot recommend enough. This is vegan soft serve but that's irrelevant, it's amazing regardless of your dietary preferences. read more

I think halvah is among my favorite sweet treats, and wow, Seed & Mill was like a dream come true. I had the vegan soft serve with halvah crumbles and tahini drizzle -- it was incredible. I also bought a small piece of ginger halvah -- the salesperson threw in a second piece for free because he said he thought it was a little oily. No complaints here. I took this to mean "not so fresh" so I felt obligated to eat much of it for an afternoon snack. read more

Incredibly disappointed to return to a beloved spot for the sesame sundae and be told they can no longer accommodate nuts just because they don't want to. We are not looking to sue anyone for cross contamination or any nonsense like that, we understand those risks. Instead we were just told a flat out no that they simply would not make us one with no nuts, as we've had many times before. The employee also had the nerve to point to a sign that said "this facility handles nuts" and tell us that that sign said plain and clear we couldn't eat here. That's not what a sign like that means and quite frankly that's really insulting to people with food allergies. Sad to never be able to eat at seed and mill again. read more

The most delicious treat within Chelsea Market!! I love tahini but had never heard of Halva. It is essentially crumbled sesame seeds that have a fudge like texture. The halva crumbles, drizzle of tahini, and soft serve vegan ice cream come together for a sweet, salty and somewhat savory bite. It really is hard to describe, but absolutely decadent. The manager was also so pleasant, describing the history of Halva and letting us try a few samples too. Highly recommend if you're in Chelsea Market! read more

Inside of the Chelsea Market lies this gem. I've seen a couple of food influencers mention that they have a vegan ice cream flavor and I just had to try them out. The vegan tahini sundae is that flavor, and let me tell you, it is amazing!! Not overly sweet and no funny aftertaste, which you can sometimes get with vegan ice creams. Some people may find the halva crumble a little "chewy" but the crunchy texture is a welcomed addition to the velvety smooth ice cream. And that drizzle... This is a top-tier vegan sweet treat! read more

I was in Chelsea Market and wanted to try something sweet. I came here because it had excellent reviews on Yelp. I was surprised that there were little to no lines here compared to everyone else, but I think the food here is a bit unique (not a typical ice cream shop). I got a slice of white chocolate lemon halva, which is a dessert with a unique texture. At first I was disappointed due to the small size that I got, but I quicky changed my mind after taking a bite. The halva was very flavorful, but also very rich and dense. It was so good that I got another one to go. I did want to come back and try their soft serve, but had already eaten too much that day. I do plan on coming back here in the future. read more

One of my new favorites at Chelsea Market. The tahini sundae is soo good! It's great if you don't want to commit to buying a chunk of halva and just want a taste of it. The toppings and sauce that they put on top of it are so good as well and elevate the flavor of the soft serve. The owner (I think?) was also super friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely come back again and get this soft serve as well as their halva. (: read more

Listed as an ice cream place, I didn't look up much after I saw the mention of tahini sauce on ice cream. I didn't realize it was mostly a tahini and halva stand. To my surprise, I have never had halva so I can't tell you how it fares with other places. But I can say, I thoroughly enjoyed trying it for the first time. There are many delicious flavors of halva to choose from and they sell by the quarter lb, lb, or full cake round size. We tried the peanut butter crunch and the rosemary almond. Both were delicious in flaky, creamy texture but I kind of wished that the rosemary was more prominent in flavor. It's quite subtle. Their website has an array of recipes for inspiration which is much needed as a halva noobie. The tahini halva ice cream was deliciously peanut buttery like with a slight crunch to a classic vanilla flavor. Remember to dig down because we thought there was only halva on the side but we were left with too much on the bottom at the end. Expect to wait on line while they try to serve you quick. I wish they offer samples but it just gets so busy that it doesn't seem to be the case. A bit pricy including the ice cream but a block should last you since it's little crumbly peices that you would eat. Certainly a unique delicacy to try if you can! read more

TAHINI SUNDAE W HALVA Came here just for this special item you don't get to see in many places. The soft serve made from tahini itself was reminiscent of black sesame flavor which is no surprise. It's nutty, creamy, and is a bit like peanut butter if I had to compare it to a well-known flavor. It's nutty and subtly sweet. Halva is added in a pretty large portion and is satisfyingly crumbly, kind of melts in your mouth but then becomes sticky and can get stuck to your teeth. It has a flavor to it that helps cut the sweetness of the ice cream, but for me I got a pretty hefty portion of halva and so it started overpowering the ice cream at some points. Overall I enjoyed this and enjoyed the experience. I would get it again if I could just get the soft serve alone, but when I'm craving halva I would come back here for some high quality halva as well. read more

This has been on my list for YEARS, but prior times I had come, they did not have the soft serve, and I wanted to sample the halva before purchasing. Finally came again yesterday, and they had the soft serve (oat-based) with tahini drizzle and halva crumbles (a variety of halva according to the shopkeeper, but I couldn't really taste the difference; there's also some halva at the bottom) for $8. GET THIS. I like halva on its own, but it works even better as a topping on the soft serve. One of the highlights of all of 2021 for me when it comes to food. They are also now allowing 1 sample per person for halva. I ended up getting the sea salt chocolate halva and marbled halva (marbled with chocolate I think), and I appreciated the marbled better. I thought the chocolate halva distracted too much for the base sesame taste of the original halva. Will come back again to try other halva (i.e. coffee), and of course, that soft serve. read more

This halva is amazing crystalized complex-textured halva. In person, they slice it from giant beautiful cakes. (As opposed to the Seed & Mill boxes they sell in stores.) It tastes so much better fresh, and they have around 8-10 rotating flavors at a time. Here's the full list: Black Sesame Cardamom Cinnamon Coffee Chocolate Pistachio Cocoa Nibs Chocolate & Orange 70% Dark Chocolate Ginger Marble Marzipan Mint Chocolate Nougat Nutella Pistachio Rose Oil Raspberry Salted Caramel Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Sesame Sweet Pecan Tart Cherry Toasted Coconut Dark Chocolate White Chocolate Raspberry White Chocolate & Lemon Can you believe it? Over time, I've only tried 6-7. My favorites: Pistachio and Marzipan. Rose and Cardamom are also lovely. They throw in a free 1/4 lb. of sesame halva for every four slices purchased in person. Nice if you're picking up gifts, which I was. Current flavors are: 70% Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, Sweet Pecan, Rose Oil, Marble, Sesame, Pistachio, Marzipan. $8 for a 1/4 lb. slice. Every time I come here they're so nice. Can't wait to do a halva tasting! read more

The tahini soft serve was a unique, delicious, but expensive experience. It was over $8 for seemingly small serving of soft serve. However, the soft serve, drizzle, and crumbs were all uniquely tasteful and not overly sweet so I was a fan of it. I would describe the taste similar to that of injeolmi or kinako and this flavor is mostly found in the crumbs. Because the soft serve is not so sweet, the overall flavor was the super strong. I found the price too steep however for the portion. It's probably worth trying at least once. read more

Located inside Chelsea Market, near Very Fresh Noodle, a pizza shop, behind a chocolate shop. Their oat milk soft serve + tahini + halva is SO GOOD. The oat milk soft serve is super creamy and lightly sweet, so it goes very well with the halva (bc the halva is VERY sweet). Already got it twice and want to get it again, but this time maybe without the halva. Also got their garlic tahini, and it's so good! Tastes so fresh and nutty. I mainly use it in Asian cooking to make a quick sesame noodle lunch, but they have 100s of recipes that use their tahini on their website ranging from baked goods to dips to dishes. The guy working there is so nice and super upbeat, always puts a smile on my face! read more

This place is probably the most underrated stall at Chelsea Market. My wife and I were looking for ice cream so we ended up here; it was one of the best decisions we made. The oat milk sundae with halva and tahini was honestly one of the best things we ate during our entire trip! The oat milk soft serve was so creamy that I wouldn't have been able to tell it it wasn't milk if I hadn't known. Halva is a sweet confectionery made of sesame seeds. It was my first time having it and I thought it was super delicious. The combination with the tahini on top was a match made in heaven. We loved the halva so much that we ended up buying a dark chocolate & coconut pack and a pistachio pack. Both of these flavors are some of their top sellers and I highly recommend getting them. We will definitely be back! read more

I got the chance to try a tahini ice cream sundae with chunks of halva inside and this sweet sauce on top. It was creamy and delicious, and the halva chunks were crunchy but melted in your mouth at the same time. I really loved it and it was delicious, which was amazing because the sundae was gluten and dairy-free.

Halva? Who and what is that? I've heard of tahini thanks to the aisles of Whole Foods, however had never heard or tried halva until I encountered Seed + Mill, and it indeed was a happy encounter. Thankfully samples are offered because after the first bite, we ordered the vegan Tahini Soft Serve Sundae. I'd recommend anyone and everyone to order the sundae because it's one of those foods that everyone has a different experience or words to describe it.

I think it was just original halva. It added a fun additional sweetness and texture to the soft serve. Next time might mix the halva base into the soft serve next time to distribute more evenly.

Where else will you find artisanal halva, presented in beautiful cakes behind a glass display? Crumbly, flaky, pure melt-in-your-mouth goodness. As someone who has grown up eating halva and various other sesame seed-based foods, I can definitely say that Seed+Mill makes some seriously high quality stuff here. My only gripe is that they don't sell black tahini there, but the regular tahini ($10) they do have is milled on site and is made from sesame seeds imported from Ethiopia. Gorgeous, buttery, and super-smooth stuff! I had their sea salt caramel soft serve ($7) on my most recent visit, which came with halva crumbles and a slice of halva. The soft serve was delicious, especially with the drizzle of tahini. The caramel flavor wasn't too strong which allowed the sweetness of the soft, flaky halva to really shine. I heard they did a goat milk version earlier but it wasn't available at the time. For the people with nut allergies: there is a risk of cross contamination, like all other non-nut-free kitchens, though Seed+Mill tries to be as accommodating as possible. Some of the halva flavors such as Pistachio, Nutella/Hazelnut, Marzipan are clearly marked with a "Nuts" symbol and have chopped nut toppings to make it easier to identify/stay away from. I informed a staff member ahead of time of my allergy and he made sure to cut a sliver of the cinnamon halva with a clean knife. However, the halva crumbles probably came from another halva flavor because I found some chopped pistachios at the bottom of my ice cream. read more

A plant-based, gluten-free store selling halva and soft serve. You might be thinking, "What the heck is halva?" Well let me tell you - it's a traditional Greek sweet confection made of sesame and can be eaten in a variety of ways including by itself, with crackers, on ice cream! The man helping us out was very friendly, offered us samples of the halva, and even gave us a sample of the soft serve to try to make sure we enjoyed it before we purchased it! The soft serve is made of oat milk, drizzled with tahini, and topped with halva crumbles. The lightness of the soft serve was rounded out by the tahini and the halva crunch was a nice crunch and sweetness. A great way to end off a meal at Chelsea Market. read more

I would give 3.5 stars. Seed + Mill is a very unique sesame based dessert store tucked within the hustle and bustle of Chelsea Market. They primarily sell halva and soft serve, and I first approached the counter thinking "I have no clue what this is but I will give it a try." Food I've tried: - SEA SALT DARK CHOCOLATE HALVA ($8 per slice): appearance wise it looks like a very dense cake. The texture is crumbly, and pieces fall apart from it. As someone who doesn't have a very big sweet tooth, I thought it was overwhelmingly sweet to the point that I couldn't really appreciate the more savory flavors I was expecting from a sesame based dessert. The chocolate and sea salt flavor I was expecting was also buried underneath a more peanut buttery richness. It tasted exactly like eating the inside of butter fingers - it breaks apart in the same way, and it sticks to your teeth in the same way. Atmosphere: - It is a singular stall among many other stores in Chelsea Market. There is no dedicated seating area. Service: - Extremely friendly. They let me sample different flavors. Overall: - I ultimately gave it 3.5 stars, because while it didn't align with my personal tastes I can see this being better enjoyed by someone who has a much higher proclivity towards sweets. - I do want to note that the price is pretty steep as it is $8 per slice. I suppose it is within the realm of expected prices especially comparing it to the other pricier restaurants of Chelsea Market. It's up to you to decide if you think the price is worth it. read more

We walked by this place at Chelsea Market and were intrigued. We were in luck because they do samples. I had never had Halva before. It was like a tahini fudge and I loved it. We ended up getting cinnamon, white chocolate raspberry, and a couple others that I forget. They let you get a sampler of 4 flavors. Most of their flavors are vegan too, which isn't something that matters to me, but nice nonetheless.

If it's a hot day and you're a tahini or halva lover, you should run (not walk) to Seed + Mill. I'm not kidding, the vegan soft serve is something very special. It is a very expensive small cup of ice cream (it's $8+) but tahini and halva aren't cheap, so enjoy this indulgence. The cup is packed full of Seed + Mill's crushed up halva and there is a generous pour of tahini sauce on top too. The soft serve is made with oat milk and it was the creaminess vegan soft serve I've ever had (of course the fat from the tahini doesn't hurt). I was a very happy camper enjoying this on a very hot day. read more

Our wide range of halva flavors vary from the more traditional halva such as marble, traditional sesame and pistachio to unexpected combinations like chocolate orange, coffee and toasted coconut dark chocolate. Tahini is vegan-friendly, dairy free, gluten free, full of flavor, and exceptionally nutritious. We are also serving a vegan salted tahini caramel soft serve with a drizzle of tahini and halva crumbles on top! Would you like to contact us?

History

Established in 2016.

Seed + Mill is founded by three women: Lisa Mendelson from Israel, Monica Molenaar from NYC and Rachel Simons from Australia. Lisa was reminded on a trip to her native Israel of the tahini and halva she had been unable to find in New York. She packed a suitcase full of her beloved sesame treats to bring back to the United States and it was through sharing this halva and tahini supply with Monica and Rachel that the concept for Seed + Mill was born. After opening in January 2016, Seed + Mill has received a lot of positive reviews in The New York Times, Bloomberg, Grubstreet, Tasting Table, Epicurious and Martha Stewart, amongst others. In 2017 their goat milk tahini ice-cream won a StarChefs NY Rising Star Award. Seed + Mill has recently opened two additional sesame carts in Whole Foods Bryant Park and Whole Foods Closter.

I am interested in the consistency of the halva at Seed+Mill. Is their halva gooey or powdery or flaky?

It's definitely not gooey or powdery. I would say it's like a flaky fudge.

Mostly gluten free and healthy portion sizes. - Grilled Chicken Swisswich - was an interesting mix of Bacon jam, gruyère, lettuce, avocado aioli on a toasted ciabatta. Not bad and came with some Herb fries. Service - (4/5) - servers were friendly and fairly attentive. Can get a bit busy and took bit longer than expected to get the order but regular check-ins afterwards. Atmosphere - (4/5) - it's at the bottom of the Edison Hotel so there isn't a dedicated restroom it's by the hotel lobby. Dim and homey feel to the layout and furniture/lighting. They have a partnership with a company that provides singing servers during dinner hour. Keep in mind they add a mandatory 5% fee on your bill for this! Overall - (4/5) - not a bad place and good for GF customers and those staying in the hotel.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique.

It is located right in the hallway of a subway entrance, next to a bar and across from a coffee shop, and it somehow manages to feel like a cozy, sit-down restaurant right in the middle of NYC. Don't let the odd location fool you, the food here is outstanding. The Neapolitan and Sicilian-style pizzas are both exceptional, with rich, well-balanced flavors and perfectly executed crusts. Every bite tastes high quality. Also, don't skip the house-made lemonade! The experience is even better because of the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They were all so kind to so many people. From offering to keep leftovers in the fridge until a customer was done at their broadway show, to offering a scone to a young child while he and his father waited for their pizza to be done, it was more than just flipping a table and onto the next tip, it was humanity at its best. Be sure to give See No Evil Pizza a try. You certainly will want to come back again for more.
