The IC Pasta Story
IC Pasta started with a simple idea: desserts should be an experience.
From spaghetti ice cream to our constant development of new ideas and flavors, we built a shop that doesn’t just serve ice cream—it starts conversations. People don’t forget us. They bring friends. They take photos. They tell our story..
We’ve refined our recipes, tightened our operations, engineered cost-effective equipment setups, and built a brand that delivers both hype and healthy margins.
Now we’re partnering with driven people who want to bring IC Pasta into their story.
WHY IC PASTA WORKS
-
We serve desserts people haven’t seen before—but instantly understand. We are an immersive experience. From the moment guests personalize their menu, watching ice cream being made live on the cold plate, to the conversations and questions asked. Guests are part of the process. Not just distant spectators. That means excitement and repeat customers.
-
Most dessert franchises require $150k–$400k to open.
Our Operator Partnership model starts at $20 - 30k, thanks to a lean footprint and a curated equipment package. We can be very flexible with initial budgets. This allows room to work with your buildout budget. -
Our ice cream base, dessert formats, and cold-plate workflows are designed for consistency, speed, and low waste. We are constantly A/B testing and developing ways to improve.
-
Our products are designed to be “instagrammable.” Making guests our main marketing tool.
Our product line is naturally viral. Your shop becomes shareable even before day one. -
You’re not buying a franchise—you’re becoming our partner in a joint venture.
Shared ownership. Shared upside. Shared support. This is OUR business.
