Ice & Vice

Very interesting ice cream selections. The flavors are extremely subtle. The texture are super creamy and thick. I got the tea dance and opium dem. I really enjoyed the tea dance, it has a strong tea flavor. The opium den is intriguing - the poppy seeds definitely added to the texture. It does not have one overwhelming taste but elements rather blend in quite sophisticatedly. I like that their ice cream are not artificially sweet. Definitely very fine and special ice cream. It is the most unique shop in manhattan i’ve been.

Victoria - you made our night! Thanks for treating us like old friends. The sorbet on the menu is vegan friendly and tasted just like cotton candy.. perfect tease for springtime. The shop is in a part of the neighborhood that doesn’t get much foot traffic, but is worth the trip. Next to the shop is a gorgeous historic apartment building called the Mayflower, and a lot of the architectural details can also be seen at Ice & Vice (check out the ceiling).

We saw this on Somebody Feed Phil and knew we needed to try it. Every flavor they have is incredibly unique which is right up my alley. They let you try unlimited samples and every one I tried was delicious (I probably tried 8). We ended up getting Opium Den, Milk and Honey, and American Beauty. We loved them all. I couldn't pick a favorite. The poppy/sesame seeds in Opium Den were great. The goat cheese in milk and honey was my favorite. I loved the rose jam in the American Beauty. They also have unique cones. I forget exactly what ours was, but I think it was some kind of blue corn. If you like ice cream, you need to check this place out.
