Pretzel Face

Okay, pretzel cone, what. I don't know if this is a thing already but it really brings out the already amazing Butter Pecan icecream I got. Trying the chocolate chip, you could really tell the off taste of soy, but the Butter Pecan goes straight to the heart of an ice cream lover. And with the salt added to the pretzel cone it made my face twist n' twirl.

3 words: vegan cake balls

When I went they had two vegan soy ice cream flavors and two sorbets. The vegan ice cream was good but I've had better. I'd go here for the homemade vegan cookies, cake balls and whoopie pies. Also free no-password-required wifi and lots of seating makes George's great.

(If they had just a couple more vegan flavors I'd give it 4 stars.)

Vegan scoop ice cream in a vegan waffle cone? Sign me up!

George's generally carries 3-4 flavors of vegan ice cream. My favorite is the butter pecan. They have a couple of different cone options. The pretzel cone is heavenly. The butter pecan ice cream in the pretzel cone provides a perfect combination of salt and sweet.

I find the ice cream to be very creamy and flavorful. This place is my go-to in Chicago.

Wisconsin Soy Ice Cream

I've actually had this in Madison Wisconsin, they ship it down, its a little chauky and artificial tasting for me, go for Chicago Soy Dairy Softserve at Chicago Health Foods instead! I recognized the cows on the labels after I ordered and then noticed the familiar "off" taste! to each his own, try this if you haven't before, maybe my expectations are too high

George's Ice Cream

George's is pretty awesome...especially since they carry 4 (rotating) vegan ice creams and vegan cupcakes. I've been here twice already and I will say that the vegan ice cream options are phenomenal -- the ice cream is made by a vendor in Milwaukee, WI. My favorite thus far is the butter pecan ice cream, highly recommended. Plus George's makes for a perfect dessert following a delicious vegan hot dog from Huey's Hot Dogs (just down the street).
