"This spot originally gained popularity as a destination for highly creative ice cream flavors, and that’s still what they do best. It would be a waste to wait in line for their classic varieties, which are good but not exceptional. Instead, come to Morgenstern’s if the idea of raw milk or yuzu strawberry ripple ice cream sounds up your alley." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang
"Morgenstern’s is a destination-worthy ice cream shop, with straight-ahead as well as novel flavors such as chocolate with Sichuan peppercorn, burnt honey vanilla, and durian banana. If you’re interested in burgers and fries beforehand, you won’t be disappointed by those, either. Should you crave something more unusual than scoops, you can take the road less traveled with an ice cream “burger,” a Neapolitan scoop on a burger bun." - Melissa McCart
"With its vast range of flavors, Morgenstern’s provides picky kids with more choices than they know what to do with, including entire rosters of vanillas and chocolates, and flavors featuring candy and nuts implanted in the ice cream. As of late there are also great smash burgers and fries, so that it’s possible to eat your entire family meal here at mainly outdoor tables. Good for all ages." - Melissa McCart
"A modern, small-batch parlor that reimagines classics and experiments boldly — vanilla appears in variants like Madagascar, Burnt Honey, Bourbon, French, or Rum Raisin, while strawberry offerings range from Balsamic to Pistachio Pesto; the menu also features untraditional options such as Raw Milk, Durian, and the visually striking Black Coconut Ash." - Alina Polishuk
"I note a collaboration with Morgenstern’s on the Paris‑brest dessert, which pairs hazelnut choux with salted Sicilian pistachio ice cream." - Emma Orlow
