Max & Mina's is a 1997-opened, family-run scoop shop known for rotating through 17,000-plus invented flavors, per amny.com. On Saturdays the shop is open late (10pm-1am), and visitor reports cited via web search describe a line already forming by around 8:30pm.
Reviewers note that waits build during peak evening hours but say the eccentric flavor rotation and novelty of the shop — described by owner Bruce Becker as feeling like 'a museum' of pop culture, per amny.com — make the wait worthwhile for regulars.
