The shop at 139 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street recently reopened after a DOH-related visit on Sept. 13.
The owners of the previous business here, Stuffed Ice Cream, closed in October 2024 to make way for this new concept. You order from a touch-screen menu. And there's only one item: "Surprise Ice Cream."
Here's more from a Surprise Scoop Instagram post on Tuesday:
It's been a short but very memorable journey. Testing a new bold concept in NYC is a dream come true, but due to a lot of circumstances, we've decided to give the space to friends who are interested in opening a skewer concept in the East Village.Thank you for all the love and support throughout the year, including the person who wrote us a review but never tried, and the person named Skibidi Toilet.Although our time is coming to an end, we're opening our doors for two more weeks. Thursday - Sunday 12/4-12/7 and 12/11-12/14.
Surprise Scoop's social-media-friendly gimmick garnered media coverage locally from Fox 5 and NBC 4 to the Post.
