What’s better than one childhood favorite?
Two childhood favorites! Surrounding the soft serve at Wokungus is a ring of cotton candy to take you back to your childhood dreams.
This Chinatown hidden gem is scheduled to open again soon. After being closed for the winter, I think we all could throw it back to some nostalgic summer days.
Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co. (513 Amsterdam Ave, Manhattan)
Pickle soft serve. Say what?!
Just when we thought matcha soft serve was the craziest soft serve flavor, Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co. sent another one our way.
If you can’t pick between these two unique flavors, the restaurant offers a swirl option of the two blended together. Matcha and pickle swirl.

This Korean dessert brand serves some of the classic Asian flavors we have come to love.
Matcha soft serve seems to be popular among a few other places that offer soft serve, but Taro Soft Serve is definitely more for the adventurous type. In addition to their beverages and hand-crafted pastries, they put together the most artistically pleasing matcha and taro swirl soft serve.
Mister Dips (111 N 12th St, Brooklyn)

Operating out of the retro RV located in the park outside the William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg Mister Dips offers burgers, waffle fries, and the beloved “dairy dips.”
Ice-cream cones in your favorite flavors (like chocolate and strawberry) soft serve covered in dipped shells to creating flavor explosions.
We love the banana Split Dip, a banana-strawberry-swirl dipped in chocolate (with a cherry on top).
If the designed dips to tickle your fancy, you're free to mix and match the soft serve and dips any which way your heart desires.
