More Than Just Ice Cream — a longtime sugary staple of Washington Square West — has announced it won't renew its lease at the end of the month, closing its doors and the books on more than four decades of decadent memories.

The scoop shop — which also serves "mile high" apple pie, gazpacho, burgers, and grilled-cheese sandwiches — will close on Sept. 27, and the announcement is proving bittersweet to some.

"MTJIC was my go to place for my icream fix or share a slice of apple pie … sorry to see it go," wrote one Facebook user.

"I'm devastated!" wrote another.
