Sugar Hill Creamery is a love affair between community and food – something all our neighbors can share and take part in. As a Black-owned business and woman-led establishment, they are dedicated to local collaborations and the finest ingredients. They serve handmade, small batch ice cream, including non-dairy and vegan ice cream options, with both seasonal and classic flavors available year-round.
Many of their ice cream flavors are inspired by the founders' Caribbean and Midwestern cultures, as well as Harlem, their neighborhood of 20 years. Founded in 2017 by husband and wife team Nick Larsen and Petrushka Bazin Larsen, Sugar Hill Creamery emerged to fill a crucial culinary gap - Harlem lacked a local small-batch ice cream destination.
The creamery pays homage to the historic Sugar Hill neighborhood, a beacon of Black excellence during the Harlem Renaissance and a haven for distinguished Black artists, intellectuals, and professionals in the early 20th century.
Their commitment to quality and community has earned them features on the Today Show, in the New York Times, and recognition as one of the 18 essential ice cream shops in New York City on Eater. In 2024, Sugar Hill Creamery was named one of the best ice cream shops in America by The Infatuation.
Be sure to stop by the retro ice cream truck - located in the heart of StuyTown - and indulge in a delicious treat!
Peter Coop's Scoops will open May 2nd at the fountain.
