• Best Ice Cream

I’m an ice cream fan and have enjoyed it in establishments all over the globe. And I have yet to experience ice cream better than what they make at Vanilla Jills. I consistently enjoy the vegan and dairy flavors. I can’t stress enough how delicious the vegan and dairy ice cream is. They also make paleo ingredient flavors. These have been a little more hit-and-miss with me, but more hit than miss. There are often tasty new flavors added to the selection of favorites regularly available. Some of my favorite regulars are Aronia Berry Cheesecake, Peanut Butter, Coffee, and Ginger Berry. Some of the flavors (like Peanut Butter) are available with dairy or vegan ingredients and delicious either way. Like their ice cream the waffle cones (also very yummy) are made in store. The Blair St. location provides scoop ice cream (my preference), while the Coburg Rd location is mostly soft-serve. All locations serve kombucha on tap. The Blair St. location also serves food. They serve really great waffles that are made on-site. Flavors include Pumpkin Sage (my fav), Buckwheat Cinnamon (my wife’s fav), and Chocolate Chia (yumm). They also serve delicious and nutritious soups. Every day there is a Vegan option and a Bone Broth option. I am not normally a big soup eater, but I really love their soups accompanied with a Pumpkin Sage Waffle. A lot of thought and love is put into the food. The ingredients are fresh, organic and non-GMO. They use real xylitol (from birch not from GMO corn). For the dairy selections kefir is used, increasing the health benefits of the food from the probiotics and more digestible ferments. And the waffles are gluten and corn free. On top of it all the owners are lovely and service has always been very friendly. Do your ice cream craving a favor and give it a taste of Vanilla Jills...how's that for a jingle? ;-)
