Omg! Banana splits away!

It’s been forever since I’ve had a banana split! I used the vegan chocolate chip ice cream as my base with vegan strawberry sauce, vegan chocolate syrup, and vegan raspberry sauce. Each mound was created with vegan whipped cream and a vegan maraschino cherry. All of it was topped with a vegan nut topping. So happy.

Great amount of vegan options!

They’ve got vegan ice cream (all soy based), shakes, and vegan ice cream cakes! 🍦🍰

Vegan Sundaes!

I had a really good vegan brownie sundae from here. The only things keeping it from being amazing is the soy ice cream they use. It’s not as creamy and yummy as cashew milk, oatmilk, or even almond and coconut milk. It was still good though and I would return if in the area again.

I love all of the vegan toppings that are available and the other vegan goodies like shakes, ice cream cakes, and ice cream sandwiches.

Vegan ice cream classics

So many options and everything tastes so yummy. Vegan whipped cream is so rich without any hint of coconut flavor. Highly recommend crushed cones as a topping as well as espresso Oreo and raspberry nebula soy ice creams. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Pros: The taste!

Cons: Outdoor tables on busy road

Pretty good.

I can get a vegan banana split. How can I hate that?

Vegan ice cream!

Vegan and non-vegan ice cream shop. The raspberry soy nebulla is my favorite. Topping options are clearly marked as vegan. They only open during the winter months. Great spot on a street full of cute shops.

Really good, I usually don’t like soy based ice cream but this tasted just like the real thing.

YUM!

They had a few vegan ice cream options and all of the cones (that aren't chocolate dipped) are vegan. There were also sundae and ice cream sandwich options. I tried the espresso oreo soy in a waffle cone and YUM! It was so good!

Pros: Vegan options, Good prices, Nice staff

pleasant surprise

We happened to walk by Babes and take a chance. Well worth it. They had 3 soy flavors and 2 Italian ice flavors. The ice cream was nice and not super hard packed. After paying I noticed the freezer on the back wall that included a few ice cream cakes labeled vegan and a tray of ice cream cookie sandwiches! Will go back to try one of those for sure.

Pros: good selection, ice cream cake/sandwiches

Vegan sundaes!!

Several vegan soy flavors (oreo, chocolate chip, raspberry chocolate chip, plain chocolate, espresso oreo) and lots of options for sundae toppings!! Brownie, chocolate chip cookie pieces, chocolate sauce, whipped topping, etc., plus shakes and homemade vegan ice cream sandwiches. They also do vegan ice cream cakes with cake from east side ovens. All the vegan stuff is clearly labelled and the staff is really nice. Definitely stop in if you need an ice cream fix!

Pros: lots of flavors and toppings, friendly staff (they'll give you samples!), vegan items clearly labelled
