Notable vanilla soft serve in NYC:

- Ray's Candy Store (East Village)
- Softside (Nolita and Greenpoint)
- Ralph's (East Village)
- Soft Swerve (many locations)
- the Solato machine (22 Vanderbilt)
- Mr. Frostee (trucks)
- New York Ice Cream (trucks)

Not in order, I've tried all of these. Love soft serve.

May I recommend the following:

- Caffe Panna for an Italian take that is more pure cream flavored than full-on vanilla 
- Marvel Frozen Dairy in Astoria for a killer old-school classic ice cream shop approach

The closest thing they have to a vanilla soft serve is a vanilla banana vegan soft serve. So unfortunately, like all vegan dairy products, it is terrible and a crude facsimile of the real thing. I can't recommend it.

Morgenstern's burnt banana ice cream is fantastic though.

I remember Morgensterns being pretty solid too, though I forget if they have soft serve

Ray's is an 8/10 in absolute terms but a 9/10 for soft serve enjoyers. They use Panza's soft serve mix and Bosco's chocolate syrup, which are increasingly rare iconic ingredients that make it one of the last authentic representatives of the classic NYC vanilla cone.

It's been a while since I had Ralph's, though!

what's the rating out of 10 for Ralph's and Ray's? they are nearby!

Homemade soft serve at Pasta Louise Cafe (not restaurant) in Park Slope is great if you can make it down

Grab some and walk in prospect park 👌🏼

a bk ice cream truck tried to charge me $15 for a small vanilla soft serve 

my trust has been broken 💔
