5 Boroughs: About Us

Our Story:

5 Boroughs Ice Cream began on our couch in Astoria, Queens. First as a hobby—then an obsession! We thought, “what if there was an ice cream flavor for every neighborhood in the city?” Inspired by the different neighborhoods and the people who live in them, we saw NYC as an inexhaustible source of flavors to create.

In the spirit of a city built on mom & pop shops (not Starbucks and Cold Stone!), we use locally made ingredients so that our flavors are as intense as they are unique. We handcraft our rich, 16% butterfat premium ice cream in small batches to ensure the taste and quality that we’ve all come to expect from the greatest city in the world.
