What People Are Saying About Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

In Short – At first glance the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory looks just like your typical parlor. Vanilla? Got it. Chocolate? Check. Rocky road? You know it. The not-immediately-apparent secret that sets it apart, however, is its variety of exotic, Asian-inspired flavors. Flavors like green tea, ginger, lychee, mango, almond cookie and taro make for rare, tasty summer treats.

Hard to Find Ice Cream Flavors
by Semera at Citysearch
Ice cream is part of my life. I love eating ice cream. It's my passion and it's my hobby. A perfect day would be if I have an ice cream from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. I don't know how they do it, but I love all their flavors. It's so good I can't stop myself from eating half gallons!! For real. Like, it's ice cream I've never had before. I will never find another ice cream parlor that will replace CICF in my heart. Some of the tropical flavors are: Almond, Lychee, Mango, Pandan, Durian, Banana, Green Tea, Peach and Coconut. Some of the exotic flavors they have that I couldn't find anywhere else are: Coffee Brandy, Wasabi and Pumpkin Pie.
I still have a lot to go to try all of their flavors. I'm telling you, every trip to this place is worth it because I leave happy and stress-free.
- Pros: Best Exotic ice cream flavors and ice cream cakes

BEST ICE CREAM EVER!
by Hon at Citysearch
I've never had so much fun eating ice cream until I had an ice cream from this place. Wow, so incredible. I love the mango ice cream. De-lish! I always order it whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I brought my sister there and she loves it to death! We both are obsessed of the mango ice cream. We love it so much we decided to bring some home in Jersey. My parents loved them so much too! In a way, Chinatown Ice Cream Factory brought my family together.
It's so awesome!!!!!

Exotic flavors

I love the exotic flavors that Chinatown Ice Cream factory provides. There's plenty of flavors to choose from, so you have to like something. I always want more than one kind of ice cream. My favorite flavor is the Zen Butter. I hope they make more flavors soon. These flavors you cannot get anywhere else. It's A LOT better than Haagen Daaz, Baskin Robbins, etc. I promise you. So glad I live near this place. Also they give you a really large scoop for the price. I remember when it used to be $2.25 for one scoop, now since it's becoming really popular they've increased their prices rather quickly. However it doesn't matter, I love this place.
- Pros: Exotic flavors
- Cons: Sometimes a line
