Wish there was a location in SW MI! - Edit
Really enjoyed! Has several vegan ice creams & mixer options. Note that Mixes are meant to be chunky.
Read moreThe Chunky Monkey was delicious. Ate every drop. The Sorbetto was good, but the mixed in berries ended up too frozen to eat.
Will return when in town again!

Vegan rocky road, not good - Edit
I order the vegan rocky road ice cream and asked for cookie dough added in. The base was chocolate and it really didn't taste like chocolate ice cream. It had a peculiar after taste. The cookie dough was in very compact chunks that didn't taste like anything. I was pretty disappointed in the specific menu item. I'm sure the sorbets/fruit based flavors were good but this was not good unfortunately.

Great vegan ice cream! - Edit
I tried the Mumbai curry (10/10) and the tooty fruity (8/10). Tell them if you have a dairy allergy and they will not use shared equipment.

Wonderful summer reset - Edit
A few great vegan options: chocolate, vanilla, curry spice. I went for the Tooty Fruity which has a vanilla base and fruit mixed in. The portion size was HUGE. I did a medium and the server piled it high over the top. My Reducetarian family enjoyed their non-vegan options. My son bonked on his small size about halfway through and wished he had gotten the kids size instead.
Read morePros: Delicious, Multiple vegan options, Large portion sizes
Cons: Maybe order a size or two smaller than you want

Tasty vegan treats - Edit
They have several options for vegan ice cream mixes and a handful of vegan ice cream flavors. We tried two vegan mixes: the Matcharoon and the Mumbai Spice. They were both very unique and the flavor combinations worked nicely together for both mixes, yum! We'll definitely be back.

Tasty options - Edit
They had about 6 vegan mixes as options. All looked pretty good. I went with the Mumbai Curry, which sounded great. It was generally tasty but the peanut butter clumps were a bit overwhelming. I'm trying Rocky road or chunky monkey next time.

Awesome vegan ice cream! - Edit
Nice variety of types (ice cream, froyo, dairy-free, gelato) and flavors. Contrary to the animal-product-based name, this is a great spot for vegan ice cream, and they had some delicious unique mixes!

👍🏻decent spot - Edit
Enjoyed taking the fam here and having options, a lighter take and less creamy than what would be expected. I’d go again, but it wasn’t insane.

Loved the vegan ice cream - Edit
Multiple vegan ice cream options, and one vegan sandwich option. I tried the vegan Mumbai and the vegan chunky monkey, both very good! I would recommend just getting a small, any more would be too much for me personally.

Love their vegan ice cream! - Edit
They have really great vegan ice cream options. My favorite is the vegan rocky road! They have a frost top (like Coldstone) where they mix the toppings into the ice cream.

Vegan ice cream! - Edit
It's basically like Cold Stone creamery, however they have multiple vegan ice creams and ready to order vegan menu items (as opposed to having to figure it all out on your own). I definitely recommend stopping here - nice to have a ice cream option for vegans in northern Michigan!

It's coldstone that has vegan stuff - Edit
There are 5 vegan flavors: vanilla (oat blend), chocolate, a fruity lavender, blueberry sorbet, and a spiced vanilla like flavor.
Read moreThen you get to mix in some toppings. They have a small assortment of house recipes, but you can make your own.
It is a little pricey, but a small serving is plenty of ice cream. So like $7.
It's a bunch of kids working, so I don't know what the company is like as some other reviews have mentioned.

Decent ice cream but got my order wrong - Edit
There's always a line going out the door here so I ordered online. I ordered a waffle cup and peanut butter added to my ice cream... Charged for it but didn't get it. Ice cream was decent.

Good ice cream but bad people - Edit
Their vegan options are good but they wouldn't sell my friend a cake for his husband's birthday because they don't agree with the gay lifestyle and I can't get behind that.

Good but icy - Edit
Ice cream was tasty but icy. Place has a cute Cold Stone vibe with a good number of vegan mix-ins. Prices are a little high for what you get.
