The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

 

Considered to be one of Chinatowns oldest businesses, this small ice cream shop located at 65 Baynard Street provides locals with  made-in-shop ice cream in various flavors for every palate. From red bean or lychee, to strawberry or chocolate chip (which they list as their “exotic” flavors), there is something for just about everyone. They are also well known for their personalized ice cream cakes, available within 24 hours of ordering. At $3.75 a scoop, this may seem a little costly, but it’s guaranteed to be the creamiest, smoothest, most flavorful ice cream you have ever experienced.
