Soft Swerve Ice Cream - Allen

"Soft Swerve’s Instagram bio reads “NYC’s Yammiest Soft Serve.” It's not a typo. They’ve been making ube ice cream since 2016, and they now have five locations serving the aforementioned ube, as well as black sesame, and hard ice cream flavors like Vietnamese coffee and Hong Kong milk tea. This place has a bunch of different toppings like mochi and Fruity Pebbles, and their LES location is a great spot for a cone after a dumpling crawl in Chinatown." - hannah albertine, willa moore, arden shore, molly fitzpatrick

"Known for their soft serve menu studded with classic Asian ingredients like ube and matcha, as well as their eye-catching red waffle cones, Soft Swerve consistently delivers on their East and Southeast Asian flavors — not easy given the subtle ingredients, like purple yam, that are featured. Highlights from their rotation include a range of tea flavors, from Hong Kong milk tea to Thai iced tea, and their almond cookie. Order it with a shell and sprinkles to get the full soft serve experience. To date, they have four Manhattan locations with a first in Brooklyn coming soon." - John Tsung, Eater Staff

"The flavors at Soft Swerve are ube, coconut, black sesame, and Hong Kong milk tea. They also have a bunch of different toppings like mochi and Cap’n Crunch. We really like the ube flavor - it’s a little nutty and vanilla-y." - hannah albertine, emma, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
