Sugar Hill Creamery

Harlem went decades without an ice cream parlor until this husband-and-wife shop opened in 2017, funded by a $21,000 neighborhood Kickstarter. It has since grown to three storefronts and a seasonal truck with no outside investors.
The Big Picture
A husband-and-wife ice cream maker that opened Harlem's first scoop shop in decades and has grown to three storefronts with no outside investors on record. As a small neighborhood business it has little public labor or environmental track record to date. The company answers to no one but the Larsens themselves.
