UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Dessert lovers rejoice! The popular Blue Marble ice cream shop opened a new location over the weekend on the Upper West Side.

The new neigborhood ice cream haven is located at 2578 Broadway, on the corner of 97th Street. It has taken over the former home of Earth Cafe, which closed in September after a five-year run in the neighborhood.

"After a long year, we're looking forward to becoming part of a new community," wrote Blue Marble in its Instagram.

The ice cream shop offers scoops of ice cream and pints in both vegan and dairy options. Blue Marble also offers Colson pastries, coffee, and a boutique.

Jennie Dundas, the co-founder of Blue Marble, is a successful actress with roles in The First Wives Club, Desperate Housewives, and Law and Order.
