    Honeycomb
    Esther R.

    Pros: The honeycomb ice cream was not too bad. It's on the sweeter side and has a little texture when you bite into it. They offer a variety of flavor & even let you sample a few before choosing. Cons: The indoor seating is limited, and the space is relatively small, making it more of a quick grab-and-go spot. This location also does not have a restroom.

    Earl Grey Tea and V Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie
    AJ L.

    I came here after lunch and had high expectations and they were met. They had a solid menu with some intriguing flavors (a lot sold out) and a handful of vegan options too. I got the Earl Grey and the Dark Chocolate Brownie. The texture was soft, but creamy and thick, not too icy which I appreciated. The chocolate was good (generic) but the Earl Grey? PHENOMENAL. This alone was worth 5-stars. So flavorful and I would be able to tell what it was blind folded if I was. Service was friendly and quick. Place is card only, so just be aware. Very clean place and lots of sitting. Would come back.

    Very rich and flavorful! whenever am craving for a good scoop of ice cream this place is my go to! They have a good range of flavors and their caramel cookie and cream is my fav! Their serving size is pretty decent.

    Delicious ice cream scooped into your cup or cone. This location is in Kips Bay. What stands out is they have a machine that will take your cash and spit out a card. The ice cream flavors are amazing. They even have vegan choices. Can't go wrong with the fan faves if you are not sure. At three scoops, you're looking at $11. HAHA. Pro tip: ask to try a sample!

    This location is so cute and bright. The staff was super friendly. It was easy to pick out my ice cream from the freezer and the store smelled delicious!!!!!

    Earl grey tea
    Karen Y.

    Creamy and addictive ice cream is found here! It's a bit expensive just for a single scoop, but the quality is top-notch! The early grey is so creamy! Albeit a bit heavy, the flavor is very smooth and buttery on the tongue. The sweetness is not too overpowering; while sweet, the more bitter tea flavor contrasts nicely with the creamy flavor. The line looks long, but moves quite quickly.

    We tried a double scoop in a waffle bowl!!! Sooo good! There was no wait and you can sit inside and enjoy or take it to go. It's cost inside and comfortable enough! The staff was friendly and offered suggestions too!

    Food: All the options hit every flavor you'd want, sweet salty savory and even vegan options! Service: Quick and they had 2 folks on which helped speed things along as we had a group of 5 Ambiance: Cozy and small but they have some bar stool sitting options by the windows and was pretty well kept and had music on. We came as a much needed stop in excursions throughout the day in NYC and wanted a nighttime treat- while considering the vegan in the group. This place had in depth flavor cominarions with textures mixed in like crunch and salty for the butter cake for example. It wasn't too pricey and definetly a shareable portion even for a small!

    Scoop of Vegan Cookies & Cream Caramel Swirl
    Sasha S.

    They have regular ice cream and shakes but most importantly for me, vegan ice cream! There are a few of these in NYC and we were excited to see so many vegan ice cream options on their menu. The staff was friendly and helpful and the ambiance is nice.

    Black Cherry Chip
    Kathy K.

    This premium ice cream shop located in the Upper East Side of NYC, has many flavor choices. They also offer a nice selection of Vegan choices. I had the Black Cherry Chip $6.90 for a single scoop and having it previously enjoyed it again. The place is bright and nice. The service was great.

    Simply the best! The first time I had Van Leeuwen I had a root beer float. A root beer float I think is a bad name - they should call it " a rootin tootin beer float from God" sooooo good Van Leeuwen also has some of the most creative flavors that pair perfectly with their warm homemade waffle cones!

    Van Leeuwen Ice Cream becomes addictive. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit to Kips Bay so I can stop in this location. It's clean and I've never met a Van Leeuwen employee that wasn't friendly and helpful. I'm a fan of anything with Peanut Butter. This photo is Espresso. It was so delicious! It's a little pricey and the cost is going up regularly but I'm recommending.

    I'm lactose intolerant, and this is some of the best non-dairy ice cream I've ever had. The peanut butter brownie honeycomb is amazing!

    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!
