Choosing the Ingredients for his mess-apiece!
But what’s the scoop?! How does one make their own ice cream?
There’s a few easy steps to make your mess!
Each table is equipped with a small ice cream maker, allowing for ice cream to be made right from your chair. The placemats act as your ingredient list. You can choose your own, or follow suggestions called “messipes” to make certain flavors.
First: You choose your base flavor – either vanilla or chocolate from Brooklyn’s own Blue Marble Ice cream.
Second: Choose a baked good from a yummy list including cookies, brownies, pound cake, or doughnuts. Then, choose 4 ingredients from an excitedly long list of sweet treats.
Third: Add all to the ice cream maker and watch your mess be made! In a matter of minutes the mixture churns and freezes to create ice cream.
Fourth: The best part – enjoy the mess!
The attentive staff were friendly and quick to help!
Lil Kid was quick to choose his own ingredients. Today’s creation: chocolate ice cream base with strawberries, M&Ms, chocolate chip cookie bits, and chocolate pretzels.
The mixture arrives! Pouring in the liquid chocolate that will soon be ice cream!

Time for fun! Owner and fellow mom Marguerite helps Lil Kid add the ingredients!
A fellow New Yorker, Marguerite has three children of her own. She created CoolMess as a fun, creative outlet for her children and the young at heart alike. A believer in small business and family establishments, she strives to create a safe and fun environment for families to enjoy.
So inspiring! We loved hanging with her and her team.
