Finally a place you can get Good ube ice cream that isn't located in the supermarket . Their bright interior makes their cafe cheerful & modern

Kate Furman

Ube is a must if you haven't tried it already, but the matcha green tea / black sesame swirl is also amazing. You can get multiple flavors in a large cup if you want to try them all.

Be prepared for a wait BUT totally worth it. You can tell they use the actual root & it is SO GOOD. Tried a few toppings, but personally think it's best paired with toasted coconut :)

Olivia Z.

The ube coconut soft serve swirl is amazing!! Clean and bright with great toppings! My boyfriend got the matcha soft serve and it was also fantastic!

Kimmie Ohh

Their ube , macapuno , black sesame , milk tea , & almond cookie are their own flavors & are absolutely delicious! Get a swirl to get the best of both worlds.

Soft swerve serves soft serve ice cream . They usually go the Asian route & have typical Asian flavors - Ube , black sesame , macapuno , matcha , Hong Kong milk tea , Vietnamese coffee , almond cookie .

Deon D

The Jersey City was awesome. Ube sweet potato and Macapuno coconut with toasted coconut and mochi .

Tom

Ube seems to be the most popular flavor and it’s one of my favorites along with lychee and matcha . The waffle cones look nice on IG but I think they are over rated. Go for the cup!

Tiffany

The ube soft serve is so creamy! Definitely worth trying.

Peggy Li

Both the ube & macapuno swirl and black sesame & matcha swirl are good (as well as any single flavor!). I would actually recommend skipping on toppings and just enjoying the ice cream .

Rebecca Mazza

I've tried all the "trendy " dessert shops and this is the only one I'd go back to. Ube is the way to go! Reasonably priced too!

Amy Wu

It's not too sweet and you can get flavor combinations. Even if it's not a swirl. This is the ube and matcha .

Yaz S

Their ube soft serve is life 🍦 🍦 🍦 love it with fruity pebbles on top. Black sesame is yummy too! And they have seasonal flavors every so often that are delicious as well 😋

Lily

Bon Appétit Highly Rec'd (6/2019): "The flavors—hojicha, sesame butter, black sesame , milk tea—are intense and not saccharine-sweet. The texture is unbelievably creamy, without a hint of ice crystal."

Theresa Roldan

Had ube in a black chocolate cone with Oreo topping. It was well worth the trip

Gigi Rod

Their ube ice cream was superb. I paired it with the chocolate cone which was delicious. Can't wait to try their matcha .

Amanda

Ube is the only flavor you need to experience. There's no need for anything else in your life.

Chad Horner

tasty instagram bait: asian-influenced soft serve flavors (ube , matcha , black sesame ) with some fun toppings like marshmallows and fruity pebbles

Priscilla Cen

Ube or matcha ! Both so good.

Nicole Formica

Original, custom flavors with an amazing assortment of toppings. The ube (purple yam ) flavor with coconut is 👌🏼

Lise Larsen

Great matcha ice cream , especially with strawberry toppings 🍓 💚

Lillian

Ask to have the swirls "stacked" to get all the flavors in one cone !

Leemor Yuravlivker

Their taro is great. Ask for toppings on the bottom as well

Roma

Matcha black sesame soft swerve ❤️

Oz Lubling

Get the combo swirl black sesame and purple (ube ) ice cream . It's the bomb.

D

Ube ice cream with black chocolate cone . Could do without the cone

Alan So

Ube soft serve is delicious here.

Jenny Fan

Known probably for their colorful purple ube flavor, the matcha is also a really good option for people who don't like very sweet things

Dan Doron

They let you sample flavors. Their Ube is has a delicious, mild, mellow flavor. I'm just not a fan of the red large cone , server said it was cinammon flavored, IMO it tastes like a melted Big Red.

Miguel Carrasco

Delicious and unique ice cream flavors ! Yum!

Laura Chin

Sesame matcha swirl is my favorite but the ube is fun too!

Adela Mou

Get the ube . But each month they also come out with a new flavor!

Michael Nicholson

This place is freaking amazing. Get the black sesame seed . It’s to die for.

Maple

Strawberry shortcake special!!

Tayo

Great ube soft serve ! Get the ube & vanilla swirl

Ernesto Gutierrez

A lot of fanfare for the ube (purple yam ) in the tips here, but for good reason. For me the black sesame steals the show.

Netsirk

Come early for ube - Filipino purple yam ice cream ! Usually sold out. Or get the matcha/black sesame swirl.

Evan Anderson

If you need to get on the matcha bandwagon and don't mind the ambient madness of very loud EDM playing while you wait in line , come here!

Michelle Wiles

Ube and sesame with Heath bar crunch.. 👌

Christina Chin

Thick soft serve ! Worth the price, ube/coconut is yum

Kristy Chan

Ube , matcha and almond cookie 👌

Gemma Holzer

Loved the Ube soft serve with mochi ✨

Dustin Lee

The new almond cookie is SO GOOD too. Up there with the ube

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Get the ube flavor. SO DELICIOUS

Dorit Burshtein

Get the Ube ice cream and don’t forget the mochi !!!!!

Alyssa B.

Ok this place serves legit Ube ice cream . Full of flavor, not just color

Natalie Roberts

The woodside was far and away the best soft serve I've had in New York!

Molly T

It's worth it just for the Instagram.

Paul S.

The Ube is the best I’ve ever had.

David Milberg

The lines here are very long, but definitely worth the wait!
