About I-CE-NY

"I-CE-NY

I-CE NY (I-See-en-why) is the original rolled ice cream from Thailand. In 2011, rolled ice cream or smashed ice cream was firstly introduced to the world under the brand "I-TIM-PAD" (or ไอติมผั in Thai). The company quickly stormed Thailand with 30 franchise vendor locations in the first six months. Now, it’s grown to over 250 locations all over Thailand, and Asia continent including Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia etc. In 2015, we’ve crossed the Pacific and established our first store in New York City, called I-CE-NY.
7 ice cream base flavors + 20 mix-in ingredients + more than 32 toppings = endless opportunities to challenge your creativity.
