Taiyaki

Taiyaki NYC’s Seaport shop serves soft-serve ice cream in fish-shaped waffle cones. The fish is the waffle, for anyone momentarily concerned. Made on site, it gives the dessert something to eat your way down to after the ice cream. The shop is on Seaport Boulevard, making it an easy dessert stop while walking around the neighborhood.

Treat it as a casual counter-service visit; the business doesn’t take reservations. You can order ice cream in a paper cup if you would rather skip the cone, and vegan soft serve is available. The cones themselves contain milk, eggs, wheat, and almonds, so ask about ingredients if that affects your order. Flavors and toppings are worth checking at the counter.
