Best vegan ice cream - Edit
This place is going off this summer with their vegan flavors. So dang good. Green tea, salted caramel, rocky road. What I really appreciate is the separate section/case for all the vegan ice creams. I really see there’s no contamination and it makes the experience better.
Read morePros: Clearly labeled , Great flavor selection , Normal ice cream experience with friends

Few Vegan Options - Edit
I got to sample their Cookies & Cream Almond based option which was a hit. The workers had to go to the back to get the sample to avoid any cross contamination which I really appreciated. Super creamy despite it not having heavy dairy cream and good chunks of cookies to satisfy my cravings.
Read moreI ordered a kid's size which came out to $4.95, which was different than what it listed on the sign at $3.95... turns out the vegan option is more expensive which I'm not a fan of honestly. A bit too pricy but still good ice cream.
Either way, I was happy with my decision to pop in here. The server was sharing with me that they're trying to get more non-dairy options to create the full experience (cones, whipped cream, etc.) which is really accommodating. Good on ya Cruz Creamery!
Pros: Actual vegan options available
Cons: Vegan options cost more

3 vegan flavors as of August. - Edit
3 vegan flavors as of today. Also nondairy froyo. There were some sorbets but when I asked for vegan, I was directed to the three items in a separate freezer.

Whole vegan menu! - Edit
The reviews from 2020 are outdated - There's now a whole selection of 8 vegan flavors (I added a photo of it). I had dragonfruit and Thai tea. The cone was starting to fall apart so they gave me a cup as well - I guess the vegan cone is a bit flimsy.

Sorbet only - Edit
We came and they only had two sorbet options plus another fruit froyo option. They said they normally have chocolate but were out. My son got the strawberry sorbet and said it was good.

Don’t listen to the other reviews - Edit
Don’t listen to the other reviews. Their is a lot vegan options that are not sorbets. They always have a vegan froyo. The machine that is used is actually always kept vegan. The staff was SUPER helpful.

Bad service - Edit
The girl who treated me somehow looked annoyed and with a bad temper. I don’t think it’s professional.
Read moreThe ice cream was good but the service very bad 👎🏻.

Very few options - Edit
It’s nice that they have a few, but not nearly enough and only fruit sorbets. Previous reviews that say dark chocolate is an option seem to be outdated (or at least it is not a regular staple).

Meh. - Edit
The only vegan flavors are sorbets and sherbets. A little disappointing.

Delicious vegan ice cream - Edit
I was very happy to see that Cruz Creamery offers several flavors of vegan ice cream when they recently opened! I had the dark chocolate and it was very good. They source their ice cream from Polar Bear ice cream (now made by Marianne's, the same ice cream shop across the street on Ocean St.).
Read morePros: several flavors!
