Klein’s Ice Cream House

Very beautiful nice big store there food is amazing
They have a drink called «reboot» which is a real masterpiece it’s ice cream with coffee something out of this world

So, the place was packed when we visited late on Thursday night, and I think I can see why.
4.25 gets you a medium cup, heaped high with ice cream or sorbet– a small mountain, in fact, larger than most places’ large.
I went with their dairy ice cream– the pistachio was okay, and the coffee was VERY good, both very creamy and not too sweet. I usually can’t get through very much ice cream, but I managed to eat pretty much all of it.
My friend got sorbet, mango and kiwi, and it was simply superlative, very delicate and light and marvelously fruity. The non-​dairy flavors that were more ice-​cream-​y looked pretty good, too; I definitely would recommend this place to any central/​south Brooklyn lactards.
(Sidenote: I wanted to find out if the non-​dairy ice cream products were actually vegan. While I know Klein’s is beloved among veg* people, in terms of Jewish dietary law, in order to be non-​dairy, a food has to be produced without milk-​by-​products on machinery that hasn’t been used to handle dairy; eggs are considered parve/​neutral for kosher purposes. So, I Googled around, and their website lists ingredients for all of their non-​dairy ice cream products; some are vegan, but a few have eggs, so definitely check beforehand or ask if you’re concerned. However, it seems pretty clear that their sorbets are, in fact, vegan, and also extremely delicious.)
Also, I have to give an additional half-​star for being one of the friendliest Orthodox establishments I’ve ever been in; me and my friend are both weird hipstery secular people, and we were treated very nicely. So, don’t be shy.

For those who thought that Kensington/​Ditmas Park lacked a great ice cream parlor, despair no more! If you walk but 5 minutes west of the F train stop at Ditmas Avenue, you will come across a shiny ice cream beacon on an otherwise sleepy residential block. Klein’s Ice Cream House has been in business since the 1950’s. The ice cream and soft serve is delicious and affordable, with many flavors and toppings to choose from, and it’s all homemade. It’s super cute inside and though there there’s no seating, no problem – walk around the corner and you’re at Dome Park with plenty of outdoor benches to enjoy your sweet treat. Klein’s sells ice cream by the gallon, as well as tasty looking ice cream cakes and other frozen goodies. They also offer gluten-​free, dairy-​free, sugar-​free and low-​fat options. It’s really good stuff. And you can feel confident walking past those tempting Mr. Softee trucks parked on a hot day without a second thought.
