The Ice Cream House

I always come for their salads. They use the freshest vegetables and have a nice wide variety of veggies to use

my favorite place to get delicious ice cream.

The ice cream was ok. I’ve had better. The place is cute. The customers annoyed me more than anything. Try it out if you are in th neighborhood.

One word: Gross! I tried several flavors and thought they all tasted too sweet and very artificial. Although I live in the area I will not be coming back.

I like their décor a lot, but I’d say skip this and head across the street to Blueberry, which serves froyo.

3.5 stars**
Vegan ice cream! Not the best, but it’s the only one in the area.
Great vegan ice cream cakes! This was the only vegan ice cream cake I’ve ever had and it was great.
I went here again and I wasn’t so satisfied. Their ice cream tasted like 95% cream and 5% flavor — extract and food coloring? It was very sweet and they over charged me and gave me the wrong cone after I told them twice. It was busy so I understand.
I would come back for the ice cream cakes, and give the other flavors another chance.
My stomach wasn’t happy afterwards. =/​Maybe my tongue and stomach has been spoiled with better vegan ice cream.
I have yet to find another joint that makes vegan ice cream cakes so I will be back.

Locating high-​quality, natural-​tasting non-​dairy, parve ice cream desserts is a challenge. It can be especially difficult to find elegant parve desserts, but the Ice Cream House succeeds! Their frozen ice cream desserts are delicious and beautifully-​decorated, and are a fantastic choice to cap off an elegant meat meal on a sweet note. Creamy, nicely-​flavored, and strictly kosher, I wholly recommend the Ice Cream House.

Mhmmmm yumm ! I always wanted to come here since the outside looked so nice and cute. I finally came here last week when it was warm. I got Tiramisu ice cream on a dipped chocolate cone. It cost about $ 3.50. The Ice cream ice bomb. The scoops are gigantic! And they also have a holder for your cone which I loved. They only serve kosher ice cream and vegan ice cream which is pretty cool to me :). The workers here are pretty nice. Definitely coming back here ! Woohoo.

I don’t live far from this store, and have purchased ice cream for my dairy free friends. The ice cream is not bad, however this store gets only a one star for the following reason. Half the time I walk past the store way after its closing the gate is down, but the doors to the place are left open. I don’t know if there is some worker in the store but lets face it you have pigeons, mice, dirty paper and other things that can just fly into this store. I walk by there and think that there is rodent poop all over the ice cream counters. I don’t know why they keep these doors open. I have pointed it out to the police and to the Board of Health. Something needs to be done.

OMG what an adorable place this is! Endless variety of delicious kosher, 100% vegan ice cream!!! If your into it, they also have a huge freezer filled with vegan ice cream cakes!
Amazing place, truly one of a kind. Its so cute inside. A little squished though.
INEXPENSIVE, great place i take my son and his friends.

We were very happy we stumbled on this place during our evening stroll. We loved the choices here I was so undecided! Sooooo many choices! But i think i got the vanilla with chocolate and it was a little piece of heaven.

Usually i dont got to kosher places, because they are pricy and food is tasteless, but this place is an exception, thier ice cream is yummy, prices are reasonable, selection of flavourse is huge. Recently I’ve been to the famouse Brooklyn ice cream factory on water street in downtown, their icecrem was nothing special, my favorite spot for ice cream is ave m ice cream house. The only one downside is that they close early on Friday, because of the shabat

I, for one, am happy this place exists! I am a gentile therefore do not keep kosher, but I love my kosher ice cream place!
I have not tried the non dairy items, but plan to whenever I actually end up giving up dairy (if that ever happens). Every time I have been there we have been treated with the utmost respect. Folks are nice and willing to let us sample stuff before we commit.
Our first time there we were going to get larger orders and the man behind the counter was nice enough to tell us we were in for A LOT of ice cream. At first I was taken aback because, umm, don’t tell me how much ice cream I *should* order, but after he showed us the portions (which are hefty) I was grateful!
Great place, and they have a popcorn machine for those aching for a sweet and salty approach while in the neighborhood.
It’s rare to have a mom n pop ice cream shop, definitely check them out and support local businesses!
Just know they are not open during Shabbat.

Take my Ice Cream House review with an enormous grain of Kosher salt, as I felt it conflated quite a few issues (and I get sensitive when it comes to how I spend my money and what I eat).
Let’s get it out of the way up front that I respect the faith-​based aspects of this operation, and none of my assessment of Ice Cream House impinges explicitly upon anyone’s beliefs.
I knew the proclivity of the area going in. I was fully cognizant that it’s not strictly vegan, as the Unilocal categorization indicates, and that dairy and non-​dairy do not mix. I verified the prohibition of cross-​pollination via the dairy and non-​dairy windows, which cater to the clientele when it comes to hard flavors (and the separate machines for soft-​serve). It’s my fault for requesting that I try one dairy flavor and another non-​dairy one with separate spoons, not realizing the scope of this dogma extended to those not cut from the same cloth. The sheer hostility with which I was met, however, is something that is not only bad for business, but is socially unacceptable. Intolerance is much different than blatant disrespect, the latter of which I did not and would not exhibit, though onlookers could’ve easily been misled. Do not confuse lack of exposure for malice, and you can incorporate more customers. Make these things clear up front and maintain a customer base that dabbles in both. Do not alienate potential revenue through nasty attitudes and personal animosity. This seems to not be exclusive to religious issues, as they are also irrationally rigid about other policies. They do not disseminate a phone # to customers (admittedly obnoxious ones, but prolific spenders nonetheless). Their explanation is that they get too busy to answer; could’ve fooled me, given the foot traffic through here over the course of an entire summer day. Perhaps this is because their 2 staffmembers seemed inordinately overwhelmed by the 3 customers inside.
MOVING ON… The space itself is typical-​bright-​ice-​cream-​shoppe-​cum-​candy-​store, and I tried one dairy and one non-​dairy hard flavors (much to their chagrin) and they were average at best (nondairy coffee was rancid and bitter like a straight bean and the dairy pb&j was ok but something I have whipped up at home before). At $ 3 for a scoop and $ 4.50 for 2 and $ 5 for 3 (hard), I opted for a medium soft-​serve @ $ 4, but unfortunately they were not receptive to my order. I ended up with a single dairy flavor (vanilla, identical to that at Mickie D’s) and they did not honor my response that they didn’t let me finish my order. For the first time in my life, though to myself, «wow, the sugar-​free, fat-​free might’ve been the better choice». I was, of course, told to use the spoons I had sampled with to eat my purchase; guess they didn’t realize I’d be tainting the dairy if I mixed the non-​dairy spoon in there.
I see the merit and I respect the mission, but no. Never again.

I heard about ice cream house, but when I walked in, I wasn’t expecting a kosher ice cream shop. I wasn’t sure if the ice cream would taste different than what I’m used to, but after the nice man let us try a few flavors I was hooked. It was rich in flavor like the espresso and tiramisu. They also have these dipped cones which costs 3.60 with two scoops! So cheap! I’m coming back for my ice cream cravings.

HOLY COW! I entered this place and thought I’d died and gone to vegan Heaven! If the huge selection of vegan ice creams wasn’t enough, I walked to the back of the store and saw a cooler with about 40 different types of vegan ice cream cakes, complete with sprinkles, Hello Kitty toys, and anything a vegan or Kosher kid could ever want. I initially thought the novelty treats (ice cream bars, cookies, etc) were a little pricey, at about $ 9 a box — and yeah, that is WAY pricier than «traditional» treats you’d buy at a grocery — but a lot of the treats average less than $ 2 a piece, which is much less than you’d pay for dessert in a restaurant.
I’ve had Klein’s ice cream before and I know that butter pecan is my favorite so I had to go with that. For my second scoop, I got some sort of vanilla-​base ice cream with nuts, cookies, carmel, or something. This was just yesterday but I can’t remember what was in it but it was fantastic. I also tried the orange swirl, which was really good.
I can’t wait until my niece and nephew come to town so I can buy them one of these vegan cakes!
