HISTORY

It all began in 1960 with two Polish immigrants from the Bronx.

60 years ago, two Polish immigrants from the Bronx decided to create a new luxury in ice cream. They invented a recipe, dreamed up a name and made it happen.

Today, we still stand for that kind of creativity and imagination and continue to transform the finest ingredients into the most luxurious ice cream to be enjoyed by all. Take a look at our journey.

1976

Reuben’s daughter Doris opens the first Häagen-Dazs® shop in Brooklyn Heights, NY, introducing Brooklynites to his delicious, velvety ice cream in every hand-pulled scoop.

The shop on Montague Street remains today.

2021

Inspired by the passion and creativity of our founders, we’re tapping into a new generation of tastemakers to share their vision with the world.

Because we believe luxury is defined by the many, not the few. And you can always find it right where you are. That’s Dazs.

Häagen-Dazs® launches the Belgian Waffle Cone

Inspired by the waffle cones you love from your local ice cream scoop shop, Häagen-Dazs® created a crispy, crunchy waffle cone that has a beautiful artisan-style pattern on it and looks like a Belgian waffle. It is complimented by the classic velvety, smooth ice cream that Häagen-Dazs® is known for and features a delicious surprise in the final bite, with caramel, fudge or raspberry sauce at the bottom of the cone, making every moment truly worth savoring.
