SkyIce Thai Food & Ice Cream 8.5
Park Slope
Vibes: Sweet Treats Escapes Comfort Food Classics Quick Bites Champions Hidden Gems Heaven
SkyIce is a tiny Park Slope counter-service spot that has been combining provincial Thai home cooking with small-batch ice cream since 2011. The savory side leans into cozy Northern-style curries and noodles, while the dessert board runs Thai tea, coconut, and other rotating flavors that keep locals dropping in after dinner.
Must-Try Dishes: Northern Thai Curry Noodle (Khao Soi), Traditional Pad Thai, Thai Tea ice cream

What makes it special: A long-running hybrid of homey Thai cooking and inventive, Thai-inspired ice creams in a snug Park Slope space.
Who should go: Casual eaters who want cozy curries plus serious ice cream.
When to visit: Early evening or post-dinner dessert hours to avoid crowding.
What to order: Khao Soi, green or massaman curry, Thai Tea ice cream for dessert.
Insider tip: Treat it like a two-part visit—order one noodle or curry to share, then build a small ice cream flight instead of full individual desserts.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only—generally available within a few blocks before 6pm; becomes tighter after dinner hours.
Dress code: Very casual—hoodies, tees, and post-gym attire are all common.
Noise level: Low to moderate—small room with counter service, but conversation is easy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for a table or counter spot; takeout pickup is usually fast.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong options—several curries, noodles, and starters can be made meatless.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—staff can guide substitutions on a few dishes.
Gluten-free options: Some GF-friendly dishes (curries, salads), but no dedicated prep space.
Best For
Better for: Small-batch Thai ice cream plus homestyle Northern Thai plates in one stop—unique in the neighborhood.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a long sit-down dinner, full bar, or spacious group environment—this is compact and counter-driven.
