Nostalgic flavors and throwback sundaes delight at Julia Jean’s - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"If you’ve ever found yourself at an ice cream shop wanting two flavors, but not two scoops, you’ll appreciate Julia Jean’s. For $1.50, this Lower East Side spot lets you split your scoop (and they throw on a little extra), so you don’t have to limit yourself to just their incredible butter pecan, with salty, caramelized nuts evenly distributed through the smooth, sweet ice cream. But at this narrow, nostalgic shop, you might actually find you need one entire scoop of that butter pecan, and another one of vanilla with strawberry jam swirls and speculoos cookies, or of their orange sherbet, or rocky road. photo credit: Julia Jean's exterior photo credit: Kate Previte photo credit: Kate Previte Pause Unmute Julia Jean’s started out selling their small-batch pints at other businesses, but now they’ve got their own little spot for scooping, cookie sandwich-making, milkshake-mixing, and ice cream cake-building. (Those cakes are available by advance order.) The shop is perfectly situated for a sundae at the counter after your third glass of wine at Kiki’s. Even if you’re not in the area often, grab a punch card—your 11th ice cream is on the house." - Will Hartman
