Omg, the I've soft serve was amazing! They had a great $1 vanilla soft serve deal with a side of mochi, SCORE. Many fun Asian inspired flavored I'd love to try. Service was very pleasant. Will definitely go back. Cozy booth like setup and looked clean.

The line is long no matter what time you show up at the establishment! It is a very popular spot and the staff does it best to move the line but it takes forever. We showed up at 9:45 pm on Friday night and it still took a bit of time. The soft serve black sesame was all right. However UBE with butter cake won! Also $8.17 is like insane but I know the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory charges the same so ... same your pennies and treat yourself.

Chocolate mint  and Thai tea ice cream

What better way to complete dinner than with creamy ice cream! As we were walking the Market Hall to determine our dinner choice, we spotted Soft Swerve and decided that would be the place for dessert. The nice young man allowed us to try a few flavors and I settled on mint and Thai iced tea. Creamy, cold, small batch made and delicious.

I've been a Soft Swerve fan for years, so I'm glad they have a location in Brooklyn at DeKalb Market. Very convenient for grabbing some ice cream when visiting Trader Joe's or shopping elsewhere in the building, especially during this hot weather. They have both soft serve and scooped ice cream, but we mostly come for my kid's favorite, which is the ube soft serve. Service has been quick and friendly, and they've had all the information we needed for our food allergy questions.

A great spot inside DeKalb for a sweet treat. ILOVED. The black sesame soft serve! Glad there are locations all over nyc.

Absolutely delicious ice cream! I got the chocolate, which was just a fantastic chocolate, ice cream, and the ube. The ube was possibly my favourite ube ice cream I've had. It was filled throughout with chunks of mochi, which added such an incredible flavour in texture. The price isn't the cheapest, but the scoops are hefty to make up for it.

Stopped here for a late night snack. There was no line so we were able to order right away and the worker was really nice. Since it's in dekalb market there's a lot of seating around the booth. We got a cup of half yakult and half strawberry lychee. We also got a pint of the hong kong milk tea to take home. The yakult and strawberry lychee were so light and refreshing! The milk tea was amazing! It tasted just like milk tea and the flavor was strong. Definitely coming back here!

Didn't even realize that they have vegan options. They have both ube and pineapple vegan options. The desserts were yummy. I got the ube on a cup and it was creamy and delicious. Next time i stop by I'll try the pineapple sorbet

Lovely ice cream stall in Dekalb Market! They feature a selection of Asian ice cream flavors, including Hong Kong Milk Tea and Black Sesame, as well as different waffle cone flavors. We went during the Dekalb Lunar New Year celebration, and we just waited a few minutes since the line was a few people long. My friend got the Ube ice cream (which is vegan-friendly since she's vegan), and the server was friendly and fast. They had cats hanging on the wall and lanterns up for Lunar New Year, and it felt in place with the bustling ambiance of the rest of the food hall.

I love the Asian flavors they offer, you get a lot of bang for your buck big scoops and taste amazing! I come here all the time for friends just for fun. Fair warning the ube ice cream will dye your mouth purple

Very nice packaging as delivered!

Ordered two ice creams from Dekalb Market! It came with ice packs and really fresh and cold!! Black sesame ice cream was phenomenal!! Full of taste! We also got Matcha ice cream but the milk amount is different? This one melts really fast and honestly this Matcha ice cream is just ok. $8 each. Good experience!

Ube sticky butter cake
David C.

In the underground of the Albee Square market, this refreshing ice cream shop was there in my time of need. Service is quick, employees are nice, place is nice and have tons of other options. What I got is the Ube Sticky Butter Cake and all I can say is that it's delicious. The thick creamy texture, the flavor of the purple yam hits the spot. Plus there's some chunks of butter cake and blends well with the soft serve. 10/10 Also there are try out options and I do say try the Thai tea flavor. Taste just like the tea itself lol

See all

I loved the Ube ice cream. Honestly, the chunks inside was the best, so I'm very disappointed when there aren't that many.

I've been here before so this is a very overdue review. I was excited because I got a spot right in…read morefront and parking is usually tricky around here. I grabbed a couple of different things including a butter crunch cookie, a pumpkin crispie ice cream sandwich and some other stuff to try since it's a little far for me to get here generally. The staff helping me was super friendly and I had a little laugh with them about some of the noisy people that were in there. Definitely will be back soon!

"I wash my hands of you." - Matthew 27:24 The male…read moreserver/cashier visibly made this negative body language gesture projected against me to absolve oneself of involvement in a matter! I was blatantly dismissed after my order intake, payment, followed by receipt request with a rude scowl apathetic look. Why project an insolent attitude towards customers? Possibly ergophobia or social anxiety disorder to be surrounded by people? I exist. I matter. I am human. I am one life in the smallest measurement. "I exist as I am, that is enough." -- Walt Whitman By the power of observation, the next customer who went through the linear process of intake ordering, payment and waiting this same male server/cashier visibly made the same negative body language gesture again with disdain visible look. There is no reverence for customer service, but blatant insolent wayward behavior! Unfortunately, this male server/cashier appeared the sole worker on duty. Can this male server smile or nod to acknowledge customers' order request vs. "I wash my hands of you" vile negative body language? When requesting a printed sales receipt, it can only be either emailed or sent via text. Apparently, The Good Batch uses Square Register, a point-of-sale (POS) cashier register system as their paperless cash register, thus, no printed sales receipt will be printed but can only be either texted or emailed. I highly prefer Counterpoint as a functional and effective POS cash register for all retail brick and mortar businesses. The exterior appears to be a local, small quiet independent bakery business with a bakery glass display case loaded with various baked goodies accompanied with coffee. I entered with tempered expectations which was reduced to inhumane of near emptiness. This bakery offers British scones, but I have a strong predilection for American biscuits (either buttermilk or non buttermilk). There are ice cream sandwiches available. No comment for any as I did not purchase. Nota Bene: "Return Policy: All sales are final." Price is extortionate exceedingly high for mediocre baked pastries. Business cards are available for grabs which also appears much difficulties for this same male server. I refused to include this business card to my collection box. Backed by Giacomo C. and Michelle W.'s negative reviews, I agree 100% The Good Batch does not entice my interest for a return visit. The Good Batch, a bakery business is accessible via MTA NYC Transit C local train at Clinton-Washington Street subway station in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn followed by a reasonable walk. Chocolate chip cookie $4.00 It was hard and very bland. It was not sweet nor semi-sweet in any form. It was not worth the trek to Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, the negative body language for insolent wayward behavior, followed by the acquiesce email receipt request and the extortionate exceedingly high price. I exited dispirited with utter despondence. Bye, Felicia!

Came here for hot chocolate on a freezing, snowy night. Tried classic, birthday cake, and Szechuan…read morepeanut butter flavors. All those flavors pertain to the topping of your cup--the actual drinking hot chocolate is all the same no matter what you get. The drink itself was underwhelming and nothing I'd return to. Swiss miss taste, consistency, vibe. Very liquidy and not rich at all. What gets your heart racing is the whipped torched marshmallow fluff that tops the cup. It's so chewy and tasty, you'll feel your glucose spike through the roof. If you're into sweet--this is an indulgence for you. Pretty pricey for $7.50 per cup plus tax. Between the three flavors, all were tasty. Just depends on how much extra you're feeling on a particular day. Szechuan peanut butter gave the most unique flavor--slight spiciness to the crunchy brittle sprinkled on top of the marshmallow. If you go with classic, you won't miss out, honestly, as the toppings didn't add much depth or make any significant difference in the taste of the drink. No bathroom on premises. Very limited seating inside: a few stools that would fit 4 people max. If you come here during peak times, you'll have to eat outside.

Today was my birthday and I went to the store. The Customer service is amazing and all you need to…read moredo is go to their website to sign up for free birthday ice cream. They have a wide variety of flavors that are rich and creamy. I will definitely be back.
