Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory
An iconic retailer of fresh ice cream produced in small quantities,
Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory currently offers two locations for its loyal customers, as well as tourists who want to sample the frozen treats from the well-regarded,
cash-only venue.
A constant stream of patrons flow in all day.
An example of simplicity at its best in terms of décor and menu items, they keep their offerings limited to some classic flavors, such as strawberry, coffee, vanilla, butter pecan and a few others.
Peruse the short list and enjoy.
Plus, because their items only come in a cone or dish, or as a sundae, milk shake or banana split, it's easy to decide what you want.
