Small-batch ice cream, sundaes, shakes, and sandwiches.
"Julia Jean’s, a small-batch ice cream maker, has their first brick-and-mortar on the Lower East Side. They make their ice cream using Upstate dairy, and they’ll have scoops, ice cream sandwiches and sundaes, with flavors like orange sherbet, nectarine sorbet, rocky road, and cherry vanilla." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"What started as a small-batch pint business is now an excellent place to get a chilly scoop of something nostalgic on the Lower East Side. Julia Jean’s little shop on Clinton Street also does ice cream sandwiches and shakes, as well as cakes that you can pre-order. Plus, they let you split your scoop—something we wish more spots allowed—so you can mix and match flavors like orange sherbet, mint chip, and rocky road with their perfectly nutty butter pecan. Get yourself a punch card so your 11th scoop is on the house." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang
"If you’re spending your evenings drinking chilled reds around Canal Street between Allen and Essex this summer, enjoy that. But when you think you’re ready to head home, instead walk down to Julia Jean’s, a tiny new scoop shop on Clinton Street. They serve nostalgic flavors like a salty, caramel-forward butter pecan and orange sherbet, and you can get a sundae at the counter or a creamy cone to go." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"This pop-up turned ice cream shop features classic flavors, banana splits, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches from Ayanna Quint. Look for flavors like cherry-vanilla; chocolate; cookies and cream; salted caramel; strawberry; and sorbets in fruity options like lemon, mango, nectarine, and orange." - Melissa McCart
"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
