"Basically what we're doing is reinventing the use and perception of cream cheese in showing how it can be fun and exciting in new and inventive ways," founder Becky Rosenthal told Gothamist. "We like to describe it akin to an ice cream or frozen yogurt shop, except we're using cream cheese as our palate."
