• Screams of delight don't do this place justice

C'mon vegans - you know that you love frozen desserts, and when non-vegans are out and about for fro yo or hand dipped deliciousness, you secretly yearn for as many options as they have... then you remember that there was this place in NYC called DF Mavens that you visited and now need to go back to devour all their amazing vegan options. This is the place you wish could replace every non-vegan ice creamery the world over.... because you know that everyone in this shop is not vegan, and everyone eating in this shop or leaving while eating frozen desserts from this shop is amazingly happy. For those who say: "Oh, I don't like soy"... ok, go for the coconut or almond, soy haters. For those who say: "Coconut is too fatty".... ok, so just go for the almond or soy. For those who say: "I don't eat nuts"... ok, go for the coconut or soy. Geez. For those who say: "I don't like vegan, gluten-free"... make them try this stuff, and they will shut up, because their mouths will be overly busy eating these divine desserts. Vanilla, chocolate, coffee and berry, for the traditionalists. Some fresh fruity flavors for those so inclined, like the beautiful mango or blackberry. Some nice mixes of almond mocha or cookies and cream. So darned good, no one who is honest about the flavor offerings here can say vegan gluten-free is inferior to the "traditional" dairy stuff. Cone (gluten free) or cup - it's up to you.... but, just a helpful suggestion: go for the cone if you are counting calories, and go for the cup if you want as much as you can possibly eat before exploding. Also, take them up on the rewards card if you're a local. Locals can also benefit from the freezer cases with pints of the frozen treats or popsicles. Yum. Beverages if you need them, but maybe you'll wait until after you've eaten your ice cream and think: I need a coffee or water. Amazing vegan offerings! Also some vegan baked goods, too, without wheat, but not gluten free (spelt flour). There are some nice places to sit by the windows in this spacious store. I just wish they had a cone stand while you are paying. If you like or have ever liked ice cream, do yourself a favor while in NYC and eat here.
