I can't even tell you how excited I was when I first heard that Dippin' Dots was planning on opening their first store in NYC. We'll, the day finally came.
The first Dippin' Dot's store in NYC opened a few days ago in the Flatiron District right across from Madison Square Park.
Growing up, this was one of my favorite things to eat. Even today, I'm always tempted to buy them whenever I see a kiosk at the mall, zoo or amusement park offering Dippin' Dots. This "ice cream of the future" with it's little ice cream beads are perfect on the go snack.
So yesterday I stopped by after work at around 5pm. When I got there, I'm sad to say, that there was a sign on the door that said they ran out of Dippin'Dots and won't be restocked until Wednesday! What the what?! Two whole days to wait! I guess I'm not the only one who loves these desserts. I was so sad but I guess I'll have to schedule another trip back here.
The Dippin'Dots store is tiny and more like a kiosk than an actual store. Doc Popcorn if also sold here and shares the spot on the billing at the front of the store. They offer 7 different flavors: gourmet, kettle, caramel bliss, better butter. Since I was there, I decided to get a bag of the kettle corn. It was pricey at six bucks for a small bag but very tasty.
I'll have to update this review after my next visit. Hopefully they'll have more inventory and I can try their Dippin'Dots. They have something called the Dippin' Dot sundae which is Dippin' Dots with Caramel Bliss Doc Popcorn in a cup. I can't wait to try it. For now, they get three stars for the popcorn.
