New Blue Marble ice cream parlor will have soft serve!

The Brooklyn Paper

This time, it’s all about the soft serve.

The tiniest of the three locations of the mini-ice cream chain, Blue Marble, will open on Court Street in Cobble Hill on Sunday, and while it will sell Jennie Dundas and Alexis Miesen’s deliciously sinful ice cream made from the organic milk of grass-fed cows, this time, custard-style cones are part of the mix.

“Soft serve has such a bad reputation,” Dundas said the other day at her Atlantic Avenue flagship. “We’re going to restore it to its rightful place.”

And that place is the former Tasti D-Lite on Court Street at Wyckoff Street, though the shop is barely big enough to fit a refrigerator case.

“We won’t even be selling coffee,” Dundas said. “There’s no room.”

But there’s always room for ice cream. Try the chocolate-chocolate — hard or soft.

Blue Marble (196 Court St. at Wyckoff Street, no phone). Other locations at 420 Atlantic Ave. between Bond and Nevins streets in Boerum Hill and 186 Underhill Ave. between St. Johns and Sterling places in Prospect Heights.
