ABOUT SUGAR HILL CREAMERy

Sugar Hill Creamery is a love affair between community and food – something all our neighbors can share and take part. Dedicated to local collaborations and the best ingredients, we serve handmade, small batch ice cream and non-dairy frozen desserts, with both seasonal and classic flavors available year around. Many of the available flavors are inspired by our Caribbean and Midwestern cultures, as well as Harlem, our neighborhood of 20 years.

The shop was an idea brought upon by the ‘sweet life’ that so many generations in Sugar Hill sought. As long time Harlem residents, we dreamt of this ‘sweet life’ while living on St. Nicholas Ave and 148th Street. After years of growth in our respective industries, we opened the first Sugar Hill Creamery store in 2017 within the Mount Morris Park District of Harlem, our current neighborhood. On Halloween of 2020, we opened the second store in Hamilton Heights just blocks from Sugar Hill, our namesake and where everything began for us. We began shipping nationwide in 2020, opened an outpost in Brooklyn’s Time Out Market at the start of summer 2021, and recently opened a store in East Harlem in March 2023. Our ice cream can also be enjoyed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Wing Cafe & The Met Dining Room. Our ice cream has been featured on the Today Show, in the New York Times, and is listed as one of 18 essential ice cream shops in New York City on Eater.

For over a century, Sugar Hill and Harlem have set high bars. for artistry, literature, music and food in New York. We plan to keep the same standard and will continue to promote all that Harlem has and will continue to create.
