Ice cream in NYC is always a good idea—but this summer, Kith Treats makes it unforgettable with two limited-time swirls worth chasing.

Summer in New York is a season of fleeting pleasures—golden-hour strolls, rooftop toasts, and, if you know where to look, scoops that turn into stories. This year, Kith Treats is offering not just one indulgence, but two—and both tap into a sense of playful nostalgia, with layered textures and flavors that invite a slow, satisfying pause.

Just in time for National Coconut Day, Kith Treats has partnered with SkinnyDipped, the buzzy, health-conscious snack company known for its chocolate-covered almonds, to release The Dipped. A coconut-studded swirl that turns a simple ice cream cup into a small, golden indulgence.

And if you are in the mood for something cinematic, their Treats Cinema series returns, blending movie-night nostalgia with a sugar-dusted sense of play.

Welcome to your summer double feature—scooped, swirled, and dipped in flavor.

Why Go

In a city overflowing with soft serve and street cart cones, what makes Kith Treats worth a stop? It is not just the creativity—it is the curation. Each release feels personal, as if designed for a specific kind of New York summer moment: late-night walks in SoHo, rooftop afternoons in Williamsburg. Or that spontaneous decision to treat yourself after a long day. These are not just desserts. They are miniature moodboards—edible expressions of culture, play, and pleasure.

The Dipped: A Coconut Day Collaboration with SkinnyDipped

Launched on Thursday, June 26 and available through Sunday, July 6 at all U.S. Kith Treats locations, The Dipped is a warm-weather indulgence layered with flavor, texture, and nostalgic charm. It is a tribute to coconut in all its toasted, golden glory—sweet, crisp, and just slightly unexpected.

At the core is Kith Treats’ signature vanilla ice cream, swirled with SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites and Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Bites. Pantry classics like Honey Bunches of Oats and shredded coconut bring in a satisfying crunch that feels both familiar and elevated.

The finishing touch is all about contrast. Silky caramel drizzle, another scattering of coconut flakes, and a final handful of SkinnyDipped bites—just soft enough to melt slightly into the swirl, just firm enough to keep you going back for another spoonful.

For longtime fans, the collaboration marks an evolution of SkinnyDipped’s signature style. Playful, better-for-you snacking made with fewer sugars, real ingredients, and no artificial fillers. The Seattle-based, mother-daughter-led brand now reaches over 26,000 retailers, but this partnership leans more personal: a summer treat with purpose behind the sweetness.

SkinnyDipped also supports the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative, a global youth leadership program founded by Forest Whitaker—proof that even dessert can be rooted in something meaningful.

The Dipped may look like a simple swirl, but it is doing a little more. Delivering pleasure with purpose, nostalgia with nuance—and yes, it is very photogenic, too.

Treats Cinema: The Scoop Goes to the Movies

Also playing this season is Treats Cinema, Kith Treats’ ongoing homage to movie theater classics. This year’s lineup includes two brand-new frozen creations that bring iconic concession stand snacks into the world of ice cream.

The Treats Cinema series has become a signature Kith Treats experience—often appearing as part of summer and capsule releases. Past riffs have included s’mores, cookie dough, and other nostalgic flavors that turn simple ingredients into playful indulgence. What keeps fans coming back is not just the creativity. It is the sense of seasonal ritual. Much like an outdoor screening in Bryant Park. Or a rooftop DJ set, it is an experience that feels fleeting, nostalgic, and beautifully timed.

The Cherry Cola Chiller takes a fizzy, retro twist on the soda fountain float. It blends vanilla ice cream with frozen cherries and cherry drink mix, and is topped with frozen Coca-Cola and a maraschino cherry. It is a nod to vintage drive-ins and soda shop counters—but one you can enjoy on any street corner in the city.

Then there is The Movie Night: a rich and salty-sweet dream featuring vanilla ice cream infused with buttered popcorn, mini M&M’s, and salted pretzels. The topping of more buttered popcorn and Maldon salt adds that finishing touch of cinema-style flair.

Both items are available from Saturday, June 28, to Sunday, July 13, at all global Kith Treats locations. And as always, the experience is more than edible—the release is paired with an exclusive drop of graphic tees inspired by retro movie posters.

Where Ice Cream Meets Culture

Kith Treats has long positioned itself at the intersection of fashion, food, and cultural memory. These two summer launches deepen that narrative, whether it is a thoughtful brand collaboration or a playful nod to the concession stand. I
It is more than a scoop—it is a sensory snapshot of summer in New York.

So whether you find yourself wandering SoHo on a humid afternoon or soaking up the buzz of Williamsburg on a Friday night, stop by Kith Treats. Grab The Dipped or indulge in a Treats Cinema special, and let yourself taste the joy of a summer well-lived.

Every new Kith Treats collaboration is a treat for BKLS—equal parts indulgence and imagination. These are not just seasonal specials. They are little cultural moments, thoughtfully scooped and styled for summer in New York.

It is that rare intersection where dessert meets design, and local flavor meets cultural rhythm. Which is exactly the kind of New York we love to celebrate.
