Want more sweet treats?
If you’re ever in Chinatown you have to check out Taiyaki. This little shop delivers soft serve ice cream in a warm delicious fish shaped cone. My classic go-to is the unicorn. It is a vanilla ice cream covered in rainbow sprinkles finished with fondant unicorn horn and ears all within a red bean taiyaki cone. Of course if you hate fun you can get the ice cream in a regular cup without anything added. They also have flavors for the vegans such as mango ice cream, chocolate and strawberry syrups and coconut flakes topping.
Taiyaki shops aren’t just in Chinatown, you can find another out in Williamsburg.
Coming back to this post for a special spooky update. Taiyaki dropped a limited time flavor for the fall. Can you guess what it was? Pumpkin spice latte, obviously. They got the recipe down pact. Sometimes, certain treats don’t quite taste like what they claim to be but they’ve managed to get it right. The limited time cone is swirled with pastel orange ice cream. The sprinkles even got a makeover. Shaped liked pumpkins, bats and little ghosties. Speaking of ghosts, they even add cute fondant ghosts to really sell the spooky season.
