Smoove Ice Cream

S’mores Croffle & Ube Boba Float

Smoove Ice Cream is an ice cream shop known for its delicious Asian flavors, indulgent boba floats, and flaky croffles. It first opened in October 2020, during the pandemic. It was a challenge since Smoove wasn’t eligible for many government grants as a new business. Luckily, they were able to apply for some private grants and recently received one through the Longevity Fund Accelerator by Welcome to Chinatown and Too Good to Go.

Smoove was founded by a group of friends, all first-generation immigrants from China. They were connected through mutual friends, and have all contributed to making Smoove a success. Smoove also partners with Kulu Desserts, which helps manage product development and features Smoove ice cream in their desserts. In the future, Smoove plans to expand its brand by opening more locations and doing wholesale and prepackaged options.

Their most popular items are the ube boba float and the s’mores croffle. If you’re looking for something unique, try the tropical durian flavor (a founder favorite). And don’t forget to keep an eye out for their new summer flavors!

P.S. They have happy hour M-Th 4-5 pm where you can buy 1 boba float and get 1 free! There is also a special combo meal that includes a boba float and plain croffle.
