Sooooooo gooooood!!! Thank goodness someone finally had the brilliant idea to open a fully plant-based “ice cream” store!!! Flavorful combos like Pistachio Almond and Guava Panetela with guava sauce ripple and almond cake. While it may not be as true-creamy as dairy, it is more flavorful and sits so much better with your belly and your conscience. Definitely a destination for dessert! Please open more locations!!

Their ice cream is just next level, everything is prepared at their own place with exquisite flavors. I highly recommend to visit them, they also offer delicious cakes and more! 📸🍨

The owner is incredibly passionate, and it shows in the ice cream. They literally roast pumpkins to make the pumpkin flavor- how amazing is that? I love having a place that puts so much care and intention into their vegan treats. We’re

Very tastefully designed ice cream shop (see what I did there?) with a great variety of ice cream flavors, real wholesome ingredients without junk made in-house! You can't ask for anything better. The owners are friendly, informative, and fun to talk to! Highly recommended for meeting up with friends, outings with family, or on a whim!

Loved the Praline flavor! Staff was really nice and quality of ice cream was really great — honestly couldn’t tell that it wasn’t a milk base. Would go again but only if I’m okay with splurging.
