Playful ice cream brand TeemTonefai opens its first brick-and-mortar store in Sheung Wan

Ice cream brand TeemTonefai, celebrated for its unique and artistic frozen treats, is set to debut its first physical store in Hong Kong's Sheung Wan district. This marks a significant milestone for the company, as its products have thus far been available only through pop-up events across the city. The flagship store is scheduled to welcome customers starting August 21, providing ice cream enthusiasts with a permanent location to indulge in TeemTonefai's delectable creations.

The brand prides itself on crafting flavors infused with Hong Kong heritage, utilizing fresh ingredients and eschewing artificial colorings or additives. Their latest menu features a variety of teas, spices, and local ingredients, offering a genuine taste of home. Notable options include the lychee bi luo chun, caramel apple da hong pao, and the white peach oolong flavors.

For those seeking a hint of Sichuan, the brand offers sea salt green Sichuan pepper, da hong pao Sichuan pepper black sesame, and red date and purple rice-infused options.

In addition to the specialty and classic flavors, TeemTonefai will continue to serve its signature ice cream, including the distinctive corn cob-shaped sweetcorn ice cream. The store's interior embodies the brand's penchant for experimentation and retro charm, with deep brown wooden walls, tiled floors, a reflective ceiling, and a custom-built dragon ornament adorning the wall. This nostalgic design harmonizes with the antique shops and vintage stalls that surround the area.

Pricing ranges from $50 for a small cup containing up to two flavors, $75 for a large cup with up to three flavors, and $85 for a banana split. Homemade waffle cones are additionally available for $10. During the store's soft opening, which begins on August 21, the first 50 paying customers will receive a complimentary special-edition metal ice cream spoon while supplies last.

Furthermore, customers can take advantage of a buy 10, get two free promotion, allowing them to purchase ice cream vouchers or box sets. TeemTonefai is situated at 19 Upper Lascar Row, Sheung Wan.
