Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited in the evenings and tougher after 7pm. Best accessed on foot or via subway.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, sneakers, post-dinner outfits all fit.
Noise level: Low to moderate—short conversations are easy, but it’s more grab-and-go than linger-and-talk.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes late night; lines move quickly
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most flavors are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited—fruit sorbets like passion fruit are usually the safest option.
Gluten-free options: Partially—fruit sorbets are gluten-free, but cones contain gluten and there’s shared handling.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, as a casual add-on—best as a quick dessert stop after dinner rather than the main event.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system and minimal seating—plan to stand or take your cone to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—simple flavors and fast service work well for kids, though it’s more of a quick stop than a hangout.
Best For
Better for: Late-night ice cream cravings when you want speed, simplicity, and classic flavors without a scene.
Skip if: You’re looking for inventive flavors, lots of seating, or a destination-style dessert experience.
