Little Rat Ice Cream

Little Rat is an ice cream and hospitality project I co-founded with my wife, Susan Flores. What began as small-batch ice cream produced from our kitchen in Ridgewood has grown into a broader brand centered on playful, highly considered flavors and the social experience around eating them.

We’re currently developing Little Rat’s wholesale and packaged-pint program with the goal of expanding into bars, restaurants, and specialty retailers across New York. At the same time, we’re working toward our first permanent brick-and-mortar concept: Rat Bar, a neighborhood ice cream, cocktail, and snack bar designed to function as both a local gathering place and a home for the wider Little Rat world.

The long-term goal is to build Little Rat into a recognizable hospitality and consumer brand, using the flagship as a foundation for broader wholesale distribution, future retail locations, and collaborations across food, art, music, and culture.
