Noona's Ice Cream
Trailblazing Ice Cream Inspired by Asian-American flavors
After winning “Best Flavor” for their signature Toasted Rice Ice Cream at an annual New York ice cream contest, Noona’s was founded in 2016 with the goal of making a line of Asian American ice cream flavors and doing it with a whimsical and playful palette unlike anything else in the category.
Inspired by founder Hannah Bae’s passion for creating bigger, better, and more inclusive shelves in the ice cream aisle of American grocery stores and beyond, flavors range from beloved classics (think Black Sesame, Taro, Thai Iced Tea and Yuzu) to whimsical fresh takes (imagine Toasted Rice, Turmeric Honeycomb and Vegan Rose Ginger). All of Noona’s flavor inspirations come from Bae’s story of growing up Asian American and her passion for creating flavors that taste good and authentically reflect the joys and struggles to make sense of the world and feel a sense of place.
