Maybe you avoided the Design District during Miami Art Week because you’re not really into art. But there’s a new reason for dessert lovers to head to the neighborhood ASAP: there’s a new ice-cream parlor, and it has quite a pedigree.
Frohzen, located in the Paradise Plaza shopping block on NE 41st Street, opens its doors today. It’s the brainchild of pastry chef Salvatore Martone, who worked under the late all-star chef JoÁ«l Robuchon. The spot happens to be located across from L’Atelier de JoÁ«l Robuchon and Le Jardinier and designed by Pierre Yves-Rochon, who outfitted both restaurants. It’s definitely a part of the Robuchon family tree growing in the luxe neighborhood.
Frohzen will offer ten flavors of ice cream and sorbet, several inspired by Miami, and a topping bar to make them “extra photographable,” according to a press release. Plus, the shop will sell unique dishes that fuse ice cream with other dessert items. An ice-cream cupcake with soft-serve frosting and a cherry on top is available in red velvet, birthday cake, and tres leches. Macaron ice-cream sandwiches will be rolled in toppings such as Oreo cookie crumbles and Fruity Pebbles cereal. Finally, the ice-cream cakesickle is a cake-inspired take on the paleta, with Miami-esque flavors such as mango-passion coconut. The shop will also serve espresso.
Perhaps owing to its warm climate, the Magic City has become a hot spot for cold treats in recent years. A study by WalletHub released in October shows Miami tied for first place as the city with the most ice-cream and frozen yogurt shops. Other ice-cream parlors in Miami include MadLab Creamery and Aubi & Ramsa in the Design District, Dasher & Crank in Wynwood, and Azucar in Little Havana.
Frohzen. 151 NE 41st St., Miami; 305-402-9060; frohzen-miami.com. Tuesday through Sunday noon to 8 p.m.
