Though Ample Hills' Red Hook location now churns the ice cream, this scoop shop serves the small chain's magnificently creative flavors – honeycomb, butter cake, vegan-friendly mango and cherry-lime, plus 'It Came From Gowanus,' a chocolatey swirl of cookies and brownies, inspired by the dark depths of the Gowanus canal. Grab a cone and head up to the roof deck.
This location also offers monthly two-hour classes ($95) where you'll learn how to make your own frozen delights from scratch, in an old-fashioned hand-cranked ice-cream machine.
