Flavor Brigade

This store was easy to find with lots of parking behind the store, but the surprises remained as I meandered through this visit. This combination, which I had mixed with passion fruit and strawberry flavor, unusually delighted my senses. I sat there in Diamond Park, which is nearby, with a boyish smile. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert, being brought back to my childhood memories of what a desert should taste and feel like. Most desert stops I've been to enthusiastically share their offerings with large posters and mouth-watering menu images. Flavor Brigade was no different to me until I tasted their Italian Ice. I'll be returning here for more of the excellent service I received from the smiling staff.

My 9 year old likes that they have different flavors of ice cream. Our friend likes how you can get a custard swill with sprinkles Yum Lots of options. Strauss organic Support tasty local !

Unusual local ice cream shop because they serve custard, sorbet and ice products as well as ice cream. Custard is smoother and more tasty than regular ice cream. Try the 2nd Street or The wookie cookies or the frozen custard cannoli. A small unassuming location off of fruitvale with limited seating outside. It can be difficult to park on fruitvale, but there's a big parking lot for the businesses right behind the building if you go through the alley.

My first time coming here. I walked right by it--it is on the eastern corner of the alley. When I walked in there was already a line of people getting their different forms of ice cream. What I found was that Flavor Brigade has some items that aren't usually available on the West Coast. They have Italian Ice--especially for those that aren't into dairy or gluten-free. They also carry frozen custard. Some people like to have layers of frozen ice and frozen custard. They also carry Organic Ice Cream from Straus Family Creamery. I wasn't super hungry so I tried their Wookie Cookie filled with Chocolate Ice Cream--pretty tasty--which they make in small batches.

Treasure! Can’t believe I missed this place! Right across from the library. Friendly owner super nice and delicious custard mixed with Italian ices!!

This is the best Italian ice place. That’s saying a lot because I’m from Trenton, NJ and I am no stranger to Philadelphia water ice. Their custard is the highest quality. They have such creative flavors and they don’t taste artificial. We come here more than I’d like to admit.

I love this spot every, since it opened. My kids always ask me to stop in everytime we visit my mom's salon around the corner. I'm glad to see they are still in business after the pandemic. If you love something sour like I do they got you covered. If you got a sweet tooth, that custard is what's calling you. I like both sour & sweet. I highly recommend trying the 2nd Street. I got the green apple with white custard this time & it does it for me everytime I stop in. Perfect for the heat wave or just to fulfill your icy taste buds any day of the week!!!

It is impossible to give this place anything but 5 stars. There simply isn't anywhere else to get Italian ice. If you need that Italian ice itch scratched this is it. It's great. They have a billion flavors. Employees are nice. They're mostly young kids or students. It's a neighborhood spot. We gotta keep it alive.
