The first time I visited Yolkin, they sold four flavours of ice cream macarons out of a trolley during the hours of street food market Street Food Union in Soho (Yolkin Macaroon Ice Cream Sandwiches). A lot has changed for them, and since early 2018, they have occupied a shop on Rupert Street around the corner form Chinatown and Piccadilly Circus and offer many more ice cream macaroon sandwiches and much more. I visited Yolkin in their permanent shop for the first time this summer.
Since they now have a permanent shop, Yolkin offer seasonal macaroons and products. My last visit was this week, and in the run-up to Halloween, Yolkin have several Halloween-inspired ice cream macaroon products. I had the S'mores one, which was chocolate macaroon and a marshmallow ghost on top. Pandan was a green-coloured macaroon with a white chocolate bone on top. Pumpkin latte was a pumpkin-flavoured and coffee ice cream product, and the mummy macaroon was red velvet.
A spider web design was a black sesame flavour, and it looked really good as well.
Yolkin also make macaroons, and I picked up a couple Halloween ones. The pumpkin is a pumpkin-spiced macaroon, which was delicious. The black cats are a pandan macaroon.
In the middle of the summer and during the hot days, I picked up a salted caramel ice cream macaroon inspired by a mermaid. It had a white chocolate mermaid tail and whipped cream on it.
On that same day, lemon meringue, peanut butter, and birthday cake were other flavours of macaroon for sale.
Yolkin is located at 24 Rupert Street, W1D 6DQ. They are open from 1:00 to 10:00 during Sundays and the weeks and open until 11:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
I recommend a visit to Yolkin if you're in the area and are craving ice cream after a meal in Chinatown or an afternoon shopping.
