I gave up dairy and gluten almost a year ago at the urging of my naturopath. I did it grudgingly because it impacted eating out so much. And how was I going to survive an entire summer without ice cream??? It's un-American I tell ya. Fast forward 10 months and 30 lbs later I survived summer but had tried several store-bought coconut milk, cashew and other type of ice "creams". This is TMI so let me move on.
So one night hubs wanted a cold sweet treat and we decided to try this new place which is just a mile from our new pad. We walk in to the warehouse-y feeling place and notice on the flavor board there are 4 vegan ice cream options using coconut milk and agave. Dude!! My arms shot up like we got a touchdown. I got to have a treat too. But to be honest I had limited hope that it would be good so I tried a couple. I tried the Sea Salt Chocolate and the Cookies and Cream vegan options. The Cookies and Cream was legit y'all. Seriously amazing. I decided to cheat on the GF because I'm less sensitive than dairy because this was seriously the best non-cream ice cream I've ever had. In fact hubs tried a couple regular flavors and ended up with something good but not as amazing as my Cookies and Cream vegan ice cream! He said he'd order it next time. The consistency isn't as smooth as typical ice cream on the spoon yet in the mouth it's perfect. Also I've obviously had a lot of coconut ice cream before and this one tasted the least coconutty I've had. Sometimes I don't mind it if it goes with the flavor but this was perfect. Touchdown indeed.
I do have to agree with Camille that the lighting was a little freaky so it doesn't create an appetizing ambiance but that's OK because I'll get it to go or eat outside. We are totally going to be regulars.
