"Part cult wine bar, part scoop shop, this cheerful spot pairs ice cream with a short list of low-intervention and biodynamic wines and thrives on sunny-side sidewalk seating. Flavors rotate seasonally — apple-ginger sorbet in winter, buckwheat and peach verbena in summer — with recurring appearances by playful choices like banana bread, cold brew, and black sugar; the relaxed combination of scoops and glasses attracts both tourists and local families." - Eleanor Aldridge
"A chic Paris wine bar that serves natural wine alongside unexpected ice cream pairings—examples include cold brew or basil chocolate chip—presented in retro silver coupes to blend casual frozen treats with a natural-wine program." - ByKate Kassin
"A Paris natural-wine-and-ice-cream bar that helped popularize the format and inspired others, it “became so popular — much to the chagrin of its owners — that a bouncer was hired to enforce a no-photo policy.” Its model is explicitly cited as an inspiration for blending Vietnamese flavors into ice cream paired with wine." - Bettina Makalintal
"Choosing between ice cream or a crispy pét-nat is hard. The team at Folderol knows this, and lets you have both in one place. This dessert spot and bar à vins in the 11th is just a couple hundred feet down from their sister restaurant, the Japanese-inspired Le Rigmarole, and has become increasingly popular since opening in early 2021 (there’s now a “NO TikTok” sign out front). Choose from flavors like strawberry shortcake or sesame brownie that are scribbled on the mirror, and pair them with a glass of something from small independent producers at the horseshoe-shaped bar. If you're hungry for something other than ice cream, you can snack on some olive oil-soaked focaccia." - sara lieberman, tanisha townsend
"A trendy Paris ice cream shop and wine bar that serves scoops in steel coupes so appealing they’ve reportedly been stolen by visitors; the cute steel vessels are integral to the shop’s stylish, playful presentation." - Bettina Makalintal
