The Best Soft Serve in New York City

"A South Asian-rooted ice cream shop in Cobble Hill, Malai offers two rotating soft serve options — both dairy-free — that draw on regional flavors like pistachio, masala chai, and saffron. Malai’s soft serve offerings provide a wholly original spin on the classic American treat and are a great companion to their excellent ice cream menu." - John Tsung, Eater Staff
