Alongside offering matcha and chocolate dip soft serve desserts, the newly opened Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co. in New York City's Upper West Side also serves a pickle-flavored option. The green-colored pickle soft serve costs $5, with many adventurous foodies calling the serving size generous and the flavor delightfully unexpected.
There are some other pickle-centric menu items available at the Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co., including everything from Sriracha Pickle Slaw to The Lucky Pickle, a vegan-friendly sweet and sour serving of veggies.
Over the last few months, plenty of pickle-centric food and beverage products have emerged—with Sonic Drive-In adding a Pickle Juice Slush to its menu and some brands now offering salty pickle brine cocktail mixers.
