It really bothers me that they knowingly and willfully violate the NYC law that requires accepting cash.

Only 2 Vegan Gluten free flavors and one was sold out. So 1 star per flavors I could have. I had 2 scoops and it was delish but I was sad I couldn't have more options at a place that understands dietary restrictions so well. Add more flavors and I'll add more stars😀
