Here’s Where To Get The Best Rolled Ice Cream in NYC

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Hofstra chapter.

You’ve seen them, I’ve seen them, and pretty much everyone else has seen the viral videos of the infamous making of rolled cream. Rolled cream is a famous treat from Thailand, where a liquid base and solid ingredient (cookie or fruit) is mixed on a frozen metal plate to form a sheet that is then broken up, rolled, and placed inside a cup. Sounds cool, huh?

It has become a trend, and more places are being opened in New York City. So, what are the places called? Let’s sc-roll through a list.

1. 10Below Ice Cream

This place is well-known and the most popular spot to get rolled ice cream. There is always a long line for this particular treat at this place. If you have the time to wait, it is worth it.

2. Juicy Spot Cafe

More unlimited toppings? Hell yeah. And not to mention, there’s also the Hong Kong waffle ice cream here.
