A small-batch ice cream shop two friends started in 2012. The bestseller is whiskey hazelnut, made with real whiskey and studded with whole hazelnuts. The texture is dense and chewy, and regulars say you can't really pick wrong. New seasonal flavours drop on Instagram on the 1st of each month, and you can ask for tasters. Pints come in glass jars you bring back, part of their zero-waste setup.
