Cititour Review:
Sundaes and Cones is on a mission to revolutionize ice cream flavors, and they are succeeding. This east village ice cream shop is small but well designed, with a few small tables and a large floor area to gawk at the ice cream flavors. This would be a very cute spot for a first date or a solo indulgence.
Now a word on the ice cream…you can get butter pecan or chocolate ice cream here. But why would you? Why when you can get flavors the likes of which you have likely never tried?
Pistachio Almond is incredibly intense and nut-forward. The flavor is so concentrated that it is more like gelato than ice cream. It has that pure, totally sharp flavor that usually only gelato has, but with the light, clean taste of the cream in the background. This is almost savory, but then has a touch of sugar that balances it into an ice cream. Topping it with some of the shop’s freshly whipped cream might be a way to break up the almost aggressive nuttiness.
Taro ice cream is a shockingly sweet frozen treat. It tastes nothing like poi, that tar dip that is served at every Hawaiian luau. This purple hued ice cream, dense and clinging to the plastic spoon in purple streaks, tastes for all the world like a frozen brick of halvah! It is peanut buttery, Butterfinger-y, sesame-sugar tinged…nothing at ALL like poi! This is fantastic for anyone who loves peanut butter
Corn ice cream is as sweet and fresh as cream with the simple, earthy taste of corn in there. It at first tastes like vanilla ice cream but then the taste of corn reverberates in the mouth, filing the entire palate and even nostrils with the buttery taste of popcorn. There are even kernels in there, miraculously soft and even juicy in the frozen cream. This is fantastic on its own and could be improved by only some of that aforementioned homemade whipped cream.
Sundaes and Cones is fairly priced and has a rotating ice cream menu that always includes a few surprises. Put away the vanilla ice cream, back away from the fridge, and head here for your weekend dessert.
