is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture. Fans of maple creemes, the iconic Vermont maple frozen specialty, will find a similarly styled dessert in Brooklyn from a new ice cream shop. Maple Creamery opened in Crown Heights at 653 Sterling Place, near Franklin Avenue, on Saturday, July 26. Maple Creamery's menu is full of vegan ice creams made with maple syrup sourced from a farm outside of Vermont. Co-founders Collin Whyte and Bailey Rollins tell Eater over Instagram direct message that the soil from the property in Vermont, where the team sources their maple — which has been running since the 1800s — 'gives the syrup a unique taste of butterscotch.' Flavors include matcha lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and, yes, maple. There are also vegan baked goods such as cookies and cakes. New bookstore cafe alert The recent Upper West Side location of the Strand debuted a new cafe this summer, as reported by West Side Rag. Cafe Fred opened at 2020 Broadway between West 69th and 70th streets on Wednesday, July 23. There's the typical cafe menu of coffee, espresso, baked goods like tahini chocolate chip cookies, and sandwiches. There are some indoor seats, with a plan to expand with outdoor seating. The name, per the publication, is in honor of Strand founder Benjamin Bass's son, Fred Bass, who was key in turning the bookstore into a New York legend. NYC bakery keeps growing in Queens Growing NYC French-style bakery Somedays is opening its fourth location this summer.
