GREEN CARTS
Berries are a running theme at Sugar Hill Creamery in the summer and we couldn't forget about a classic, strawberry ice cream. We've twisted the original with a hint of basil, homemade lemon curd and nilla wafers. The pairing makes for a strawberry like no other.
NENEH CHERRY (n)
Pop-culture plays a role in how Sugar Hill Creamery names their ice cream flavors. The Neneh Cherry, named after the popular 1980s Scandinavian singer-songwriter, is a subtle, nutty ice cream that packs a pop of cherry with a clean finish that whett's your palette.
FIRST DAY OUT
Calling on fond memories of farm life in July when the season's sweet corn is ready to be picked, this flavor is composed of roasted ears of corn and whole jalapeños steeped in our vanilla ice cream base. This ice cream is naturally sweet with a hint of spice.
RIGHT THING TO SAY (Gf)(V)
Delight on this fresh sorbet that combines passionfruit and apricot with mildly spicy guava sauce made by Harlem’s own Dr. Sauce.
TUMA BUNA (gf)
In spring 2019, Tuma Basa, Harlemite and music influencer mostly notably recognized for creating Spotify's Rap Caviar playlist, and his wife Abaynesh helped create this flavor that easily became a customer favorite that season. Buna is the name of a coffee-making ceremony unique to Ethiopia. Inspired by this tradition, Sugar Hill Creamery created a coffee ice cream that incorporates satisfyingly crunchy turmeric and ginger candy.
BUGGIN’ OUT
Tapping into the nostalgic vibes of 90s hip hop, Buggin' Out boasts the nostalgic taste of a malted vanilla milkshake with clusters of chocolate covered Rice Krispies and rivers of Raspberry coulis.

CLASSICS (THESE FLAVORS ARE ALWAYS IN THE DIPPING CASE)
CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD
Nothing is more vanilla than Andy Griffith. The vanilla for this classic comes from Réunion Island off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean Our signature cream cheese-based ice cream includes layers of graham crackers and blueberry jam. It tastes like a frozen piece of blueberry cheesecake but as an ice cream! Affectionately named “Chairperson of the Board,” it's the boss of our dipping case.
ANDY GRIFFITH
Blueberry cheesecake is rich and definitely the boss of desserts. Our signature cream cheese-based ice cream includes layers of graham crackers and blueberry jam. It’s frozen blueberry cheesecake! Now a customer favorite, this flavor has easily become the boss of our dipping case. The vanilla for this classic comes from the island, Ile Bourbon, from which the vanilla was originally sourced and not the bottle stashed directly underneath the counter (kidding of course). Ile Bourbon, now known as Reunion, lies directly off the coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. We use pastured milk and cream from Saratoga Springs to create a sweet, creamy vanilla sensation.
NUNU’S PEACH COBBLER
A juicy ripe peach screams summer and this ice cream is no different. Each spoonful includes pureed peaches with a dash of cinnamon and homemade crisp for a cobbler crunch. And, if you’re wondering who Nunu is, she’s Petrushka’s sister who inspired this flavor with one of her delicious dessert crumbles.
HELLO, NEW WORLD
Hello, New World is the newest flavor to our dipping case. Created to celebrate our fifth year in business, we've paired only good things in this pint -- caramel ice cream, vanilla wafers, oreo cookies, and caramel swirls. Each spoonful is a salty sweet bite. Prepare yourself to fall in love with this flavor. We certainly have.
SWEET SOCIALISM (GF) (V)
The African island of Madagascar provides us with this single-estate dark chocolate. The result is a decadent, rich sorbet often mistaken for ice cream because of its creamy, milky texture.
SPECIALTY ITEMS
BROWNIE SUNDAE
We compose a layered sundae with two scoops of ice cream (your choice) topped with homemade brownies, chocolate or caramel sauce, and whipped cream. Then, we repeat.
