Incredible ice cream!! It was so creamy and flavorful and the ice cream and cake jar combo sent me to dessert heaven. The inside is filled with pictures of their ice cream and each jar of ice cream looks so appetizing. If you're looking for a sweet treat, this is the place to go!

Ok hear me out on this one because I respect all the 5 star reviews that are here before me: The ice cream and cake combo is DELICIOUS (the s'mores one is my personal favorite after a few trips here), but the problem is the practicality of eating it. The ice cream is on top of the cake and so you have to dig through a lot of ice cream before you're at the cake, and not only that but don't even think about trying to walk around and eat this thing without spilling everywhere. But with that out of the way, this is a must-try place for dessert lovers because it tastes so darn good and the service is nice and fast (I've never seen this place with too long of a line). Notably no tables at the place but there's a counter where I usually stand and eat the first part of the cake jar so that I can avoid spilling all over myself, and then once you've eaten the top part it does become practical to take it outside and walk around with it. Besides the cake jars, they have an assortment of teas that I have not tried but look good!

The Lychee bubble Tea, Strawberry with Strawberry Boba, and Passion Fruit Bubble Tea were all incredibly flavorful! The drinks were perfect for a hot summer day. The service was excellent and quick, exactly what you need to cool down. Highly recommended!

Tik tok got this place right! The earl grey vanilla ice cream on its own was delicious, but getting these crazy milkshakes made it even more fun. There was no rush, so our shakes were served super quickly. The employees were really fun and giving their honest opinions about what's good and what's not, which I appreciated. The place itself doesn't have seating, only a standing area. So if you want to sit down and eat this, you'll have to somewhere else. The items really did look true to the photos, which is hard to come by these days.

I loved Surreal Creamery, and I can't wait to come back. It's like a premium Mr. softie because they take soft serve to another level. You can try samples of flavors before purchasing. They have flavors like Matcha, Monster Cookie, Earl Grey Vanilla and so much more. You can add up to 4 toppings and they have everything from different sauces (caramel, chocolate) to cookie dough bites and sprinkles. The menu has so much that I have to go back again to try the ice cream cake in a jar. I ordered the monster cookie with Oreos and cookie dough bites and it was around $10-$11. I could not finish it so next time, I'll opt for a smaller size.

Surreal Creamery has to be a hidden gem tucked away. Their ice cream floats and ice cream in mason jars presents an uncommon but practical idea of packaging for its customers. While I was skeptical at first, the ice cream at Surreal turned out to be creamy, thick, and most apparently, big. It could take up to four people to finish just one jar of ice cream, making its portion sizes extremely shareable and affordable. I always come back to Surreal for one particular flavor: their Monster Cookie mason jar. However, their floats are also very good, and extremely customizable. The portion sizes are hefty so make sure to bring a friend, or three. On a side note, the service is nothing notable, and the interior of the shop is quite small and plain. It is just very much a grab and go type of place, it is unfortunate that there are no seats or anywhere to eat here.

Nom nom nom... If you're looking for next level ice cream and other sweet treats, the next dessert spot you should check out in NYC (& beyond!) is Surreal Creamery. They have a handful of signature mason jar ice cream concoctions such as the one shown, boba ice cream, build your own cones, and more! Their cones at their Kips Bay location are $10 and their mason jar treats are $11.25, so I paid that little bit extra to indulge in all of the fancy ice cream glory! I ordered the Nom Nom Cookie, which was made up of monsters cookies and cream ice cream, chocolate syrup, chocolate crunch, cookie crisps, marshmallow puffs, and full size Oreos. It's was as epic in flavor as it was in its presentation. If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely a place you want to stop by!
