Softside in New York

"Great soft serve iced cream I asked for the most popular item and they said the riff. Vanilla soft serve with olive oil honey and sea salt. Sounds weird and a bit scary but it’s AMAZING! Will come back again for it"

"i fell in love with their olive oil drizzle ice cream and this time came to try their matcha sundae collab with madhappy. it looked very pretty and the ice cream itself was very good and i really liked the matcha shell but there wasn’t much matcha flavor at all. i kind of wished it was matcha soft serve. the lactaid made me chuckle though."

"We stopped here for a quick ice cream on our way back to the hotel and this place really hit the spot. It is a small ice cream window on the side of “Upside”, a much larger restaurant. I got a vanilla cone with sprinkles and I was delicious! There was also no wait. I would definitely come back. Check them out!"

"Every time I am in NYC I have to make a stop at Softside! Its so light and yet creamy and so satisfying! It is an easy walk up window with a little outdoor seating. They have a very simple and amazing menu! There are a few classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio. recently they have added matcha, possibly for a limited time! Their toppings are classic and amazing. I love to get the hard chocolate shell but you can't go wrong! They are pretty well known for having a sundae with olive oil on it and its soo unique and delicious! If you are looking for an elevated but simple soft serve, this is a great spot to try!"

"How do I even come back from this? The vanilla soft serve with honey, olive oil, and sea salt completely altered my brain chemistry. It’s hands down one of the most delicious combos I’ve ever had. I went three times during my six-day trip to New York, and I even made sure it was the last thing I ate before flying back to London. The obsession is real — I literally tried to recreate it the day I got home. If you’re in NYC, you have to try it."

"Had the strawberry softserve and it was delicious I can’t wait for it to be summer to have it again!! I love how pretty they make it too."

"Couldn’t find this place while traveling in SOHO New York. Looks like it might be a soup or pizza place in the wi there months. Suggest own updates. Another couple was also looking for this location at the same time. (SoupSide)"

"One of my favorite spots for soft serve in NYC! This self-serve sundae place is not only fun and interactive, but the flavors are genuinely delicious and aesthetic. My top two favorites are: • The Riff – made with sea salt and honey, it’s pure, simple, and lets the soft serve’s natural creamy texture shine. It’s subtle, elegant, and absolutely addicting. • Sweet Cloud Matcha Sundae – topped with a beautiful matcha hard shell and whipped cream. If you’re a matcha lover, you’ll fall in love with this one! The “self-serve” concept makes it extra fun, and every creation looks Instagram-worthy. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat that’s both tasty and cute!"
