i absolutely loved that everything here was vegan!! all the flavors i tried were amazing. i ended up choosing the chocolate cookie monster in a waffle cone and it was so so good. my (non-vegan) friends loved their ice cream as well!!

The storefront is small, but the employee who helped us was very friendly.The serving size for a double scoop was generous, and the quality was good.Try the mint chip! It's a really excellent version of what it is.

Vegetarian options: All of the ice cream is vegan.

Dietary restrictions: This place is good for anyone eating vegan or gluten-free. It's even Celiac-safe!

Parking: Easy parking, though the storefront itself is tucked into the office park.

I've been getting ice cream here occasionally ever since they opened. I am biased since I'm vegan, but I've brought at least four non-vegan friends here and we ALL have enjoyed it. Lots of flavors with different bases (coconut, almond, sunflower, etc.) and some tasty fruit sorbets as well. It's a little pricey, I can't lie about that, BUT it's a specialty product, so I get it and to me it's worth it when I want a treat. Also helps me not eat excessive amounts!

Dietary restrictions: Actually it's vegan!!!

I tried 4 different ways to order my sons birthday cake, starting nearly 2 weeks in advance to give enough time.I tried ordering online. After selecting everything, the site stated online orders for cakes not accepted.I emailed, no response. Messaged on Instagram, no response. Called and left a voicemail, no response.He hasn't had an ice cream cake in over 5 years since we went vegan. He was really looking forward to one this year.

Amazing ice cream and exceptional customer service!! Always love supporting vegan/gluten free establishments and was not disappointed by the flavors. My two favorite flavors were the chocolate chip cookie dough and birthday cake. Unfortunately we didn’t catch the lady’s name, but on 11/25 at 6pm she provided the best service we’ve had in a while!

Wife said it was the best gluten free ice cream she has had in a very long time

Best vegan ice cream on the planet. You can get hand scooped cones and cups here. Also now serving excellent ice cream sandwiches.

From left to right: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coffee w/ Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans, and Chocolate Java Chip.The customer service was great from the moment we walked through the doors! We were greeted, and encouraged to share and dietary restrictions. All ice cream is both Vegan and Gluten Free, and are all created with a different nut base (sunflower, coconut, cashew, almond, etc) for all other allergies. My husband and I tried as many samples as we wanted before choosing what to purchase. My husband got the Monster Cookie milkshake with soy milk and I got the 4 mini scoop sampler!Definitely give them a try and buy their pints at local small businesses ☺️

Found this place via Google maps. My husband is lactose intolerant, so finding good ice cream can be a challenge. I'll say that I love their options, but for someone who can enjoy dairy, I would prefer the good old fashion ice cream. It is a bit pricey, but I think that is the norm for vegan ice cream. But if you are vegan or can't have dairy, this is a great place. Pay the extra to get a waffle cone, it is delicious! Service was awesome and he was very patient with my very indecisive husband!

Super friendly and lots of dairy/nut free options. I’m usually stuck with one choice or out of luck when it comes to ice cream shops since I’m lactose intolerant and have a tree nut allergy. Kula is the exception!! Flavors that are sunflower & coconut based, and multiple of each. If I lived anywhere near here, I’d be visiting so often they’d be sick of me!!

Visiting San Diego and decided to try this out. The ice cream is delicious, organic, vegan, and gluten-free. Great place!

Local, woman-owned shop scooping up a great selection of creamy, vegan ice cream and cookie/brownie sandwiches? Yes, please!! Got the strawberry with blondie and loved it. Will be back for more!

This is the place to try for vegan, dairy free, and gluten free options! I finally found a place that I can get more than just a single sorbet option and I love every one. If you haven’t had it, try it and you won’t regret it.
