Sweet Janes 27-17 24th Ave., Astoria While you’re squeezing in a few more afternoons of day drinking at the Bohemian Beer Garden this August, make sure to swing by Sweet Janes just a block up 24th Avenue for a treat sure to please anyone of any dietary persuasion: the FudgeStickle. Nut-free, non-dairy, non-GMO, gluten-free and without a drop of corn syrup in sight, the FudgeStickle is a throwback to owner Jane McGill’s childhood summers full of icy, fudgy deliciousness. Grab a stick of guilt-free goodness (they’re only 141 calories!) in fudge, mint, chocolate or chocolate stout. Try some of their non-dairy vegan ice creams, like the coconut-based blueberry lavender, almond-based carrot cake or cashew-based peanut butter chocolate swirl. The sorbets come in unique flavors like raspberry red wine and pear ginger riesling. If you’ve just got to have that lactose, dig into traditional ice cream in untraditional flavors like rosewater cardamom or salted caramel pretzel. Astoria Coffee 3004 30th St., Astoria Aside from its mind-blowing redeyes and ultimate chill-vibe interior, Astoria Coffee on 30th Street also scoops a pretty chill game. Grab an ice cream sandwich by Lower East Side’s very own Melt, made out of freshly baked cookies. If you’re in the mood for a well-caffeinated drink with just a hint of sweetness, try an affogato using local vanilla ice cream from Sweet Janes. It’s hard to beat — and what’s wrong with a little dessert for breakfast? 42 I BOROMAG.COM I AUGUST 2016 sECTION TITLE
