Last year we set up our canopy on Atlantic Ave. for our first event, the Atlantic Antic, proudly selling our Good Bars and cups of our ice cream. This year we did the same, but it was different. There was a year of experience that removed our neophyte status and we were glad to answer … Read More

We even have a limited supply of Brooklyn Bell lunch bags. Word! This year we are going to be across the street from the jail … Read More
Yep, Our Ice Cream is in Stores
It’s one thing to sell ice cream from a cart. It’s a totally different thing to sell it in stores. That’s right, we’re in stores! We are crazy happy that we have two major natural food stores in Brooklyn, Back to the Land and Peralandra stocking our ice cream. And we are super stoked to be … Read More

The ice cream business is not easy. It takes skill, experience and dedication to craft a creamy pint that can make people smile.

(Also posted on Kati’s moonlighting site, www.revelmama.wordpress.com.) Only in New York. More specifically, only in Brooklyn.

We … Read More
Yes, Chef
It was a surprise. Kati dragged me uptown to meet up with Jade and Alex. Under a ruse to get me out the house on a wintry Friday night, we emerged from the 2 train at 125th and Lenox. And right there was Red Rooster, Marcus Samuelsson’s landmark restaurant. It only took a minute to piece it all … Read More
