About Noona’s Ice-cream

Korean Inspired Made in Brooklyn

Noona’s Ice Cream is the first ice cream company in the United States to offer a collection of Korean inspired ice cream flavors. Our flavors are a bridge between tradition and innovation, and based on recipes inspired by the cultural connectedness and culinary history of Korean cuisine that has brought us together and creates smiles.

누나 – NOONA

Noona means “big sister” in Korean.

Queens native Hannah Bae founded the company by entering Hot Bread Kitchen’s Incubator Program in the Spring of 2016. After graduating the program and sharing her Korean inspired ice cream flavors at local outdoor markets, Noona’s Ice Cream quickly became a crowd favorite. With a successful start, Hannah was able to move production to a scalable kitchen in Brooklyn and is growing the company steadily and sustainably. Noona’s goal is to build an ice cream company that celebrates culture and family while instituting a Big Sister mentorship program for employees who look to become food entrepreneurs.

Growing up, I remember when my younger brother Jonathan would run straight home from his friend’s house if he knew I was cooking. Noona’s Ice Cream comes from the pride I have from Jonathan looking up to me. I feel a similar sense of responsibility and joy reimagining the flavors of my youth for Noona’s Ice Cream. To me, the word noona stands for everything I am passionate about: family and food.

-Hannah Bae, Founding Noona/누나
