The Lineup

Flavors that make
you stop mid-stride

Rich dark chocolate ice cream in a ceramic bowl

Signature

Midnight Chocolate

Double-dark, almost sinful. Made with 72% single-origin cacao and a hint of sea salt that makes you taste it twice.

Salted caramel ice cream with caramel drizzle

Fan Favorite

Caramel Rebellion

Burnt caramel swirled with Fleur de sel. It starts sweet, hits you with salt, and leaves you wondering what just happened.

Vanilla bean ice cream with visible vanilla seeds

Classic

Madagascar Vanilla

Real vanilla beans, scraped and steeped. Not the imitation stuff — this is the real deal, creamy and floral and absolutely unapologetic.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate chunks

Seasonal

Mint Julep

Fresh mint from the garden, infused into cream, studded with dark chocolate shards. Refreshing doesn't begin to cover it.

Dairy-Free

Berry Insurrection

A sorbet so fruit-forward it tastes like summer fought its way into a bowl. Strawberry, raspberry, and a whisper of blackberry.

Limited Edition

Toasted Sesame

Nutty, warm, and deeply savory-sweet. Toasted sesame seeds blended into a velvety base. For the curious, not the cautious.

And several more rotating weekly — what's new is always the best.

Our Story

We didn't open an ice cream shop.
We started a movement.

Lunatics Ice Cream was born from a simple frustration: most ice cream is boring. Safe. Designed not to offend anyone, which means it offends nobody — including your taste buds.

So we did something about it. We started chasing flavors that actually surprise you. Flavors that make you close your eyes and commit. Our base is churned in small batches, our inclusions are generous, and our approach is whatever the flavor demands — no templates, no compromises.

Located on Surf Avenue in the heart of Brooklyn, we're not trying to be everything to everyone. We're trying to be unforgettable to the people who walk through our door.

The Experience

More than a scoop.
It's an event.

Curated Flavors

Every flavor is intentional. We test, tweak, and obsess until it earns a spot on the board — then we keep it fresh by rotating the edges.

Built for Sharing

Tasting flights, half-and-halves, or a wall of flavors to choose from — we make it easy to try everything without committing to just one.

Made with Soul

This isn't factory ice cream. It's made in our kitchen, by people who actually care about what goes into it — and what comes out.
