    There are not many ice cream shops in the area. It's a simple, no-frills storefront focused on homemade ice cream and ice cream cakes. They have a good mix of asian inspired and classic flavors. I love the black sesame and milk tea flavor. They're both super rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. However, they really need to work on basic customer service. On my last visit, the staff gave me the wrong ice cream cake. Then, he didn't even bother to tell me how much I owed. He just stood there quietly, so I had to read the sign on the wall myself to figure out the total and then hand him the exact change. I was actually thinking about buying more ice cream, maybe a pint, but when I tried to ask him a few questions about them, he acted like he was uninterested in selling me more ice cream. The experience could have definitely be better.

    Heard about this place from a relative. After eating dim sum we took the hike down there 20 deep to have their durian ice cream. We got in front of it and the open sign was not lit up and was disappointed then a shadow within was moving and our hope was rekindled. We asked for the durian ice cream but they sold out. Disappointed again, until we tried their other flavors, taro, sesame seed mango oh my. This place is a very small but very popular. The old man behind the counter wasn't very graceful with the large crowd but was happy to see the little kids eagerly waiting for their cones to be handed to them. A crowd started to form behind us as everyone was wondering why the big crowds. I see why they are so popular. Their ice cream is perfectly balanced with sugar and cream. Will be back and determined to try their durian ice cream.

    8 inches ice cream cake has gone up from $41 ( 3 years ago) to $52 today. You can pick two flavor. The design of cake is the same as 3 years ago. Customer service I'm from the owner old man hasn't changed. . No mall shake. Only smoothies and slushies offered. We ordered vanilla and mango icecream cake. It was ready when I got there. Name was misspelled but corrected right away. Icecream cake offers mild sweetness which fit our preferences. It would be great if the flavor of both icecream will be more bold. It can be they use less artificial flavoring and used more natural ingredients instead. The texture of icecream was smooth and creamy.

    Used to like this place but they gave us the wrong cake and are insisting we ordered this cake. I am allergic to mint and would never order this. This isn't even my name??? They refused to refund us or give us another cake or even acknowledge they made a mistake.

    Ordered ice cream cakes here several times. Owner is accommodating with last minute orders, even for holidays. There are pre made flavors so I was able to order a cake a day before pickup. They have many flavors to choose from but their specialty are Asian flavors like black sesame, red bean, durian, etc. which you won't find at a Carvel. Black sesame flavor was a personal favorite and a hit with my family. Strong flavor compared to tarp and red bean, which was a more subtle flavor. You can pick two flavors for the ice cream cake. Additional flavors costs more. A 6in cake is about $36 and 8inch is about $56. Not sure if this place is cash only so I would bring cash in case. First time I picked up, they accepted cash and card. But the second time I picked up my cake, the guy said cash only. Small family business -- definitely recommend if you're in the area and want some ice cream or need an ice cream cake.

    Small friendly family owned ice cream store in Brooklyn. I ordered an ice cream birthday cake here and asked the lady owner to make a rose covered design for me which she did beautifully. They have unique asian ice cream flavors that are creamy and not too sweet. You can ask for an ice cream cake with any of their flavors. I used to go to a similar store in 8th ave that had shut down so was really nostalgic for me. Very affordable and good quality ice cream!

    Came to this place based on a recommendation from a friend. They recommended ice cream cakes but didn't have an occasion. Opted for the 2 scoop for 7 dollars. Kinda wished the scoops were bigger. The lychee flavor was really prominent and really good. There were pieces of lychee in there as well The milk tea was surprisingly good as well. Can definitely taste the tea They weren't too sweet which is a huge plus. Will try ordering a cake from them next time

    Not the best picture bc I needed to crop ppl out, but will definitely have a better picture of the cake I just ordered! :)

    My family really enjoyed the cake from here that my sister in law got for my Dad's birthday :) I decided that I also wanted to order a cake for my husband as he enjoyed the cake. We got to try the milk tea and the pistachio flavors which were nice and creamy. When I decided to order my cake, I was lucky enough to get to speak with the homemade ice cream maker himself, Ming! He was really cool, friendly and we ended up chatting for almost 30 min! I got to find out how much goes into the process of the ice cream he makes and the passion behind his products. It was really nice to know how much quality means to him and how much he's doing to maintain the quality and prices despite the rising costs of everything nowadays due to the pandemic and everything just being harder and more expensive to get. Unfortunately I won't get to meet him because he won't be there the day I'll be picking up, but I hope to meet him soon! Looking forward to trying the black sesame and lychee cake I just ordered! Thanks Ming! :)

    I love their ice cream! I come here to get my family's cake every time we have a birthday. Just call in and tell em the flavors you want, what you want written on the cake, the size, and when you want to pick up. They're very efficient and friendly.

    Three tier ice cream cake made here but cookie decorations are my own add on.
    Jun L.

    We got a three tier ice cream cake with 6 different flavors. We have always ordered one tier for the family but they were able to do three with no problem. I added my own cookie decorations for my event. It turned out beautifully. Their cakes are not too sweet and flavors are on point. It was amazing. We will continue to order from them.

    Their cakes are always delicious. We recently had a party for my one year old twins and they did a good job with a three tier cake. Everyone was impressed.

    Sweet Dynasty, you get a 4.5 stars from me! I can't give you full marks, because some of the ice cream flavors aren't as good as the others (so limited flavor combos for best ice cream cake), but you'll have my business whenever someone's birthday comes around. I no longer go to Baskin Robbins, Carvel, or Cold Stone for ice cream cakes because they're too heavy and too sweet for my palate, while Sweet Dynasty has all the Asian flavors and lightness of a perfect ice cream. I've been buying ice cream cakes from this establishment for several years, multiple times per year, and the owner is so, so sweet and nice. My family usually orders over the phone, and then we go pick up the cake a couple days later when it's ready. The communication and customer service is great, especially when you talk to the owner directly about what you want for your order. Sometimes, some of her employees are a bit rude and standoffish if you catch them when she's not there. We've tried a variety of ice cream flavors, and we've settled on milk tea and lychee being the best of the best. Unfortunately, this means that's all we're going to be ordering from now on, unless they introduce more delicious new flavors. The milk tea is light and soft, and the lychee is pleasantly fruity without overwhelming the palate. It's a good refreshing dessert after a hearty birthday dinner. The mango flavor is not good, it's not fresh at all. It is also more sour than sweet, so I think this is a solid miss. The taro is alright, but I think it can be a little chalky-tasting if consumed in large amounts. When we tasted it from the sample mini ice cream cone on the top of the cake, it was fine, but not so as a whole cake layer. Both the chocolate and vanilla are pretty standard as they get. I would rather pick the more exotic options, as you can get chocolate and vanilla ice cream cakes from anywhere. I didn't care for the mint ice cream either, which I tasted from a mini ice cream cone topping. I've heard they have durian flavored ice cream, but I'm not a fan of durian, so I'm hesitant to order a cake with an entire layer of it, but perhaps I'll do so to mix things up a bit. Oh, and the matcha flavor is alright, but as I'm not a matcha lover either, I haven't gotten this in an ice cream cake as of yet. But I think it's a solid option, especially for people who like all things matcha. You can't go wrong with the milk tea and lychee combo though, and it's very affordable at $27 for a 6 inch cake. I'll be back on the next birthday!

    8in milk tea and coffee ice cream cake
    Mimee S.

    So for my birthday I wanted an ice cream cake and sent my husband over. And, what's even more appealing is that they have asian inspired flavors! Hands down, this was the best ice cream cake i've ever had. So the flavor of the cake was milk tea and coffee. The milk tea was my favorite. So rich and creamy. Even my mom who's not a sweets person nor does she eat ice cream, loved it! It was a pre-made 8in cake ($45) but you can order a custom one in advance. I loved that it had 3 small lil ice cream cones on top and my son even ate it. Overall, it was very good but the writing could use some work. My husband said the guy who took his order was very nice and friendly. Definitely will be ordering more cakes from them in the future!

Every year, when this location opens, the options that aren't available are scribbled over with white window pen and faded writing shares notes on what's missing and toppings available. The prices have gone up every year for the past 3 years, although portions are slightly bigger than before I still don't think $4.75 for a small and $6 for medium is great value, especially for ice. In regards to flavors what's offered does taste good, but my favorite flavor, chocolate mousse, hasn't been available since July 2024. I won't tell people not to shop here but just based on the service I prefer elsewhere.
