Community leaders welcomed a new
ice cream pop-up shop in Flushing on
May 24.
Unicorn fl oats and Japanese-style fi shshaped
waffl es were served with ice cream
at the grand opening of Taiyaki, located
at Queens Crossing Food Court at 136-17
39th Ave., where hundreds of people were
lined up at the new shop.
Taiyaki is a classic street vendor snack
in Japan that consists of a warm fi shshape
cake with red bean fi lling. Th e waffl
e-like Japanese snack is very popular at
street fairs and festivals in Japan.
Striving to keep their customers happy
and satisfi ed while leaving a minimal
footprint on the planet, Taiyaki NYC
focuses on quality and consistency in the
products provided to the community.
Th e shop serves diff erent fl avors of ice
cream as well as other ingredients placed
in the mouth of the fi sh-shaped waffl
e cone.
Taiyaki’s ice cream and waffl es are made
from the highest quality ingredients from
socially responsible vendors and distributors,
according to its website. Th e Taiyaki
waffl es are made fresh on-site, and their
soft serve ice cream is produced and
churned in small batches to preserve
the true integrity of how a real soft serve
should taste.
Taiyaki also has other locations in
Chinatown; Williamsburg; Miami,
Florida; Boston, Massachusetts; and a
new opening in downtown Toronto,
Canada.
All weekend long, during the grand
opening celebration, orders over $15 will
receive a complimentary Unicorn Float
balloon (drink not included and while
supplies last)!
Th e Taiyaki NYC pop-up shop will be
open from now until Oct. 21.
