One of our favorite spots for vegan ice cream in the area. We usually go for the golden spice or caramel almond crunch.

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan. Cashew based.

I just wanted some ice cream, and I was surprised with lots of flavors and gigantic scoops. It’s a must-go-back.

Strawberry - good 7.5/10 - could be sweeter and fruitier, and was a bit too chalky/thick of a texture, needed to be wetter? when melting if that makes sense

Love that their are fully dairy-free! The other non-chocolate ones I sampled were just okay, definitely need to be sweeter and less chalky/dense. Have had much better vegan ice cream. Maybe they could have it split up so that some could be lower sugar, and others could be full sweetness, for those still looking for the occasional indulgence, but just looking for a plant based alternative to dairy ice cream.

Nice that they use organic sugar tho that isn't refined with animal bone char!

It is delicious but extremely overpriced since the brothers sold to new owners.

A little over a year ago, a single cone was $5.00.

Then it went up and up and now a single cone is… wait for it…$6.25.

For some reason, if you go down the street to Piedmont Grocery, an entire carton of Mr. Dewie’s can be purchased for around $8.00.

the cashew flavor is my favorite

Extremely helpful and friendly staff!They explained the different flavors in detail and were very patient with me and 3 friends deciding while there were a few people behind us. This was also like 10 minutes before closing!Got the matcha and strawberry which were such a good mix. Their matcha is perfectly balanced sweetness with a hint of bitterness from the strong matcha.I'm not a specifically dairy free person but their ice cream is the only non dairy ice cream that I have tried and really enjoyed. Will be back for more!

A charming little corner shop! I’d never had cashew-based ice cream before, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were rich, flavorful, and satisfyingly creamy. The guy at the counter was so accommodating with our group of 5, patiently letting us sample a wide range of the flavors.I was very pleased with my kid’s scoop of matcha! The matcha was fantastic - you could really taste the slightly bitter graininess of the matcha. As another option, you can also get a split scoop of two flavors with a single, which is pretty nice.The only slight downside was parking, though after some circling through neighborhood streets, we were able to find some street parking. I’m sold on cashew ice cream!

Lots of choices and am able to get vegan hot fudge.

Overall an excellent experience. Staff is friendly. I love that it is organic. Interesting that it is cashew based. The issue is flavor. The chocolate is very rich and is a blast, 5/5. However, the vanilla isn’t vanilla enough. It tastes odd, not bad, but plain. Had a sample of the maple and walnut, which is rich, but too sweet. Would have been 5/5 if the flavors can be further fine-tuned.

Omg! We finally found an ice cream parlor that served non dairy, only wished we found this ice cream place sooner. Taste way better than dairy ice cream and the flavors are out of this world, the coffee and banana nut bread is my fave, they also split the scoops too, big generous scoops!! Kids are happy. This is our go to spot for a sweet treat. Nice and friendly service.
