The Pint Shop
The Museum of Ice Cream has returned to New York, the city where the Insta-worthy pop-up phenom began back in 2016. But this time, in lieu of a pool filled with sprinkles, the co-founders Maryellis Bunn and Manish Vora are opening a Pint Shop, serving up the museum's own line of signature flavors and putting the focus on actual ice cream.
First thing to see at the Pint Shop are pints. Giant ones. Behind each of the three towering containers, you'll discover a new photo opportunity, including an interactive banana backdrop, a sprinkle pool life preserver swing, and a tub of (plastic) cherries you can take a quick dip and pic in.
The Pint Shop is complete with fun-packed ice cream installations and decorative aisles, but the real takeaway from the store is the company's original ice cream line. The team spent one year creating its line of seven pints. They are sourced with the highest quality ingredients. Each aisle is dedicated to one of the company's original ice cream flavors:
- Vanillionaire, a rich vanilla with wafer crumbs
- Nana Banana, a frozen take on bananas bread
- Cherrylicious, featuring bits of cookie
- Churro Churro, a cinnamon ice cream with bits of churro throughout
- Chocolate Crush, with flakes of Guittard milk chocolate
- Piñata, with bits of cotton candy, cake, and sprinkles
- MOIC's signature Sprinkle Pool flavour
The experience continues with The Pint Shop's tasting room, where you can go on an in-depth tasting experience in an interactive classroom. But it's not just the standard samples served on tiny spoons. First, the shop's flavor experts will lead you through a vanilla tasting, to highlight the base ingredient of most ice cream flavors, before moving on to the six newly-released ice creams.
