Ices Plain & Fancy

General information

Ices Plain & Fancy is St. Louis' Nitro Ice Cream Parlor - Serving the finest quality ice cream, flash-churned to order using liquid nitrogen. Visit us in the historic Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis to taste our Classic Nitro Ice Cream, Fancy Ices, Boozy Ice Cream Cocktails, Non-Dairy Offerings, Seasonal Sorbets, Floats, Soft Serve, and more!

Flash-churning our Nitro Ice Creams at -321 degrees is not only exciting to watch, but also forms very small ice crystals for a supremely smooth texture that can’t be duplicated with traditional slow-churning methods. We also have very little “overrun” – an ice cream term for the amount of air whipped into the mixture. The end result that emerges from the nitro cloud? A silky, dense, decadent treat that you will never forget!

We use only the finest ingredients, from our premium ice cream to our rich Belgian Chocolate. This assures that in addition to the nitro process being fun to watch, the end result is a product of the highest quality. Partnerships with local farmers keep our seasonal offerings as fresh as possible. Our chef balances and crafts each fl avor with a
sense of adventure, whimsy and nostalgia to produce ice cream treats that will have you and your friends talking!
