The Frigo Mint Company

South Street Seaport has long been a crossroads for goods moving in and out of Manhattan. Among the suppliers who keep the neighborhood’s kitchens stocked is The Frigo Mint Company, a food-products distributor that specializes in refrigerated ingredients. These businesses rarely get the spotlight, yet they’re the ones ensuring pastry chefs, delis, and small grocers have what they need before the morning rush.

The operation runs from 200 Water St, New York, NY 10038, a warehouse address that blends into the brick-and-cobblestone streets near the East River. While most passersby hurry toward the piers or the retail storefronts, a steady stream of delivery vans confirms the building’s quiet role in the city’s food chain. The category demands precision—perishable items arrive on time, stay cold, and move quickly to their next stop.

To place an order or confirm delivery windows, call (228) 224-7386. Directions to the loading docks can be found on the map; look for the blue roll-up door just past the fish market. If you’ve ever wondered how your corner café keeps its mozzarella fresh, this is one of the places making it happen.
