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.

The shop on Montague Street remains today.

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.
