More Ice Cream!


With such a kid-friendly neighborhood there's no surprise that Bococa has so many ice cream shops. What is a little surprising is how many of these ice cream shops are geared more for the culinary-minded adults rather than the vanilla and sprinkle-loving children. Blue Marble was the first to open in the neighborhood serving up their ice cream with high quality ingredients. Since then Karloff's been scooping up their delicious cups and cones with unique flavors and local ingredients and the ever popular Van Leeuwun has also set up shop in the hood. Now you can add Steve's Ice Cream to the list. Taking over the old Blue Marble space on Atlantic and coming soon, Steve's original store was located in Somerville, Mass decades ago and was the first ever ice cream shop to incorporate mix-ins with their ice creams. Steve's shut down in the 90's but will be resurrected and improved here in Brooklyn. The ice creams and mix-ins will, of course, be made with the finest local ingredients and they will carry very refined flavors such as strawberry ricotta ice cream, kombucha sorbet, and coffee-cinnamon ice cream. Ice cream season is well on it's way! So grab your spoons and get ready for some scoops!
