In the middle of this month, new ice cream pop-up shop "Soft Republic" opened its doors in Spitalfields Market. The ice cream pop up serves soft serve vanilla ice cream, which can be purchased in a cone, box, or choux bun. The "burger" and "hot dog" are two of the offerings made of choux pastry. They are filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with a syrup and two toppings of choice.
There are several different types of syrup to choose from, including strawberry and chocolate. There are also over a dozen toppings, including raspberry slices, fresh fruit, nuts, fruit pieces, chocolate pieces, popcorn, salted caramel, and marshmallows.
I went for the "hot dog" option, which is a hot dog bun-shaped choux bun. I had chocolate syrup, pistachio nuts, and fresh strawberries. This tasted delicious.
"Soft Republic" is serving ice cream for another six weeks, so sometime until mid-September. A burger or hot dog offering costs £5.00, and the cheaper options are £3.00.
