Tribeca Ice Cream Friedrichshain

Plant-based ice cream made from nut milk, cocoa butter and coconut oil, with no refined sugar, near Boxhagener Platz. Flavours like Hazelnut Baobab.

The idea for Tribeca Ice Cream was born in New York. Founder Klaus lived in the Tribeca neighbourhood, tested ice cream recipes there and eventually quit his job in finance to make ice cream. In 2017 he opened the first shop in Berlin with his brother Frank and business partner Paul, on Rykestraße in the Kollwitzkiez. The branch on Gabriel-Max-Straße is in the Boxhagener Kiez, a few steps from Boxhagener Platz.

The ice cream is entirely plant-based. Instead of milk, Tribeca uses house-made nut milk, cocoa butter and organic coconut oil, with no refined sugar. The flavours change. Typical of Tribeca are pairings like Hazelnut Baobab, hazelnut with the fruit of the African baobab tree, or Pistachio Lucuma, pistachio with a fruit from the Andes. Among the house favourites are raw chocolate and pistachio.
