Sydney Arkin was laid off from her job at the height of the pandemic. She took it as an opportunity to begin her own ice cream service. Making every batch from scratch (even the mix-ins), Sydney has actually built a dedicated following to her lactose-free ice cream. Because recording, Bad Walters continues to grow and has actually vacated your home and into the Korner Kitchen in Oakland CA.

Thank you for showing this special ice cream.
Definitely supposed to be an alchemist in another time 🧙
THESE LOOK SO GOOD, greetings from cali , from east coast to west coast, WE WELCOME YALL, pick up ur trash and be nice😹lol im kidding but not really
I have sickle cell disease. To make a long story short my medical situation has also given me gastroparesis due to all the drugs slowing down my g.i. tact. Keep up the work of trying to do more good than bad hell you might be the first person to win a Nobel Prize for Ice Cream Manufacturing. Hopefully, you’ll get big enough that I could grab a pint here in the sunshine state. 👏🏿👍🏿
Hoping to figure out shipping this year!
As someone with chronic pain seeing someone doing something like what I want to do WITH a chronic illness makes me want to cry a little
It’s not easy ❤️
looks awesome but would not be possible over here to produce food at home – too many rules and terms for producing food from the different authorities 🙁
It wasn’t possible here either 🤣 I was shut down for 7 months but now I’m back up and running legally!
@Sydney Arkin hopefully you’re not eating over the entire batch of ice cream stilll …
You use Lactaid milk! That’s amazing.
ice cream kingpin is the coolest thing to be called. i aspire to be somewhat like her hahah
I want your ice cream💙
Look at Munchies looking out for the little entrepreneurs!
GO SYDNEY!! 👏 Love your story and journey. We started the same way making ice cream at home and slowly grew our business! Best of luck 🧡
Gastroparesis is really tough. Your flavors sound so decadent.
“I’ll never make icecream you can buy at the store” – Sydney.
This has to be the mindset of every business to be extraordinary.
Continue to thrive Bad Walters and may God increase you!♥
Thanks Munchies for another solid one.
I think Covid has all taught us to ‘Choose Life’
This could be called the ChristinaTosi effect. Let’s give props where they’re do.
Also, how does she pay that mortgage selling pints of ice cream.
Flavors do look bomb though.
These flavors sound so good damn, I’m in NY and want it
what a beautiful sweater (:
What a refreshingly balanced person! Kind of jealous that she’s on the other coast.
