New Business Spotlight: Low-Cal Delight Arrives in Village

In a new feature, Patch highlights new business openings and other downtown news.

After much speculation and anticipation, the new franchise D'lites is open on the corner of Main Street and Fire Island Avenue.

The former convenience store has been remodeled into a low-calorie ice cream shop, complete with a bright and funky decor seating area decked out in black, white and pink.

Open until 11 p.m., the "ice cream with a twist" spot, as the chain's slogan goes, has the potential to be a post-movie gathering place. D'lites claims its product is low in sugar, carbohydrates, and fat while being kosher and free from artificial sweeteners. A clerk at the Babylon shop explained that the dozen available flavors rotates every two or three days.

A four-ounce serving of the D'lites ice cream is 50 calories, according to the company's website. Babylon Village joins Woodbury as the second Long Island location for the brand. Full nutritional information is available in the store.
