Delicious ice cream! - Edit
We came here three times during our stay in Antwerp. My kids loved their ice cream (we got the stracciatella, cheesecake, hazelnoot, and chocolate flavors). I also

Good all vegan Ice cream - Edit
All vegan Ice creams, so it's nice you do not have to worry about that, since they are pretty specialized in making things getting pretty close to what people are used to eat as non-vegan Ice creams.
Read moreIt really show that you don't have to give up things when going vegan!
It is a nice experience to taste what they are capable of making being all vegan.
The down side for me was that the owner was not very warm welcoming and it is quite expensive (especially when eating on site).
Now it is all home made and artisanal, so normally that it is more expensive then the industrial stuff.
Pros: Nice vegan ice cream experience
Cons: Rather cold owner, Expensive
IceLabNiceCream
Good morning,
Read morethank you so very much for the 5 stars you have given us and your kind feedback about our products. I worked hard on my recipes for almost a year and a half together with a gelato expert, as I wanted to create the very best possible vegan ice cream :-)
I am very surprised and truly sorry however to hear that you found our reception cold. In all honesty, customers find us very warm and welcoming as you can read in other reviews. Who did you talk to? We value our customers very, very much and wish to give them the best possible experience when visiting our shop.
As far as prices are concerned, most of our ingredients are biological and we have to apply the Belgian food tax system (6% when take away, 12 en 21% when eating on-site). We cannot help this but are very transparent in our prices so customers can choose. Thank you once again and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Hilde

Cosy ice cream spot in the city center. Offers a variety of vegan ice cream (and other sweet things)

Knus zaakje in het stadscentrum. Heeft gevarieerde smaken ijs (en andere zoete lekkernijen)
De zaak word (met liefde) gerund door Hilde. Een hele vriendelijke vrouw die ook graag een praatje met je maakt. Het beste vegan ijs dat ik/we tot nu toe heb gehad! Ik raad deze plek zeker aan!

Unmissable! - Edit
Honestly we were a little overwhelmed to discover a 100% vegan gelateria! So many choices! Fortunately the owner was super friendly and explained all the delicious flavours on offer and even gave us some samples. The quality and taste was amazing. The owner is clearly very passionate about what she does and explained that she spent over 1.5 years perfecting the recipe. It was worth the wait as this was definitely the best ice cream and waffles we’ve ever had!

We only use the real deal, no flavour enhancers or colourants. And like everybody else, we were confronted with huge price increases : electricity, products, staff; rent...

Loved it! - Edit
They had many flavors, but we chose cherry cheesecake and Finlandia. Wanted some different flavours and got them. In Finland normal ice cream is about 3,5 euro a ball, so the price wasn't much for us. Both ice creams were really good, and liquorice was very authentic!
Read morePros: many different flavours, FINLANDIA-flavour!!!!
IceLabNiceCream
Good afternoon, thank you so much your kind feedback and the 5 stars you have given us. We are so happy you enjoyed our ice cream. The Finlandia flavour is a flavour I discovered in Oulu many years ago. I liked it so much: the liquorice, pineapple and vanilla combine very well😄 Thank you once again and kind regards, Hilde

EL HELADO MÁS RICO DEL MUNDO - Edit
Mis favoritos son stracciatella, coffe y Amarena, el de chocolate también es increíble.
Read moreEn precio-cantidad es súper justo (las bolas son súper grandes) Las galletas siempre son crunchis
También he acumulado sellos y ha funcionado al reclamar mi helado gratis, SABÍA A DIOS!
Lo único que cambiaría es la posibilidad de tomar agua del grifo, un mundo más justo siempre tendrá acceso a agua libremente😄
Recomiendo que pidas para llevar y lo comas en el jardín botánico (3min caminando) o en Stad Park o al frente hay banquitas y brisa frente a plantitas.

Heaven! - Edit
It's a treat to be in a fully vegan ice-cream shop!
Read moreThere were twelve flavours of ice cream, but also waffles and cakes, and tons of toppings.
You can get two flavours in one scoop (so half scoops really) to try more flavours.
They're leading by example: we need more shops like this.

The very best vegan icecream - Edit
Have been coming here almost since it opened, and still the very best vegan icecream I have tried, including many high rated vegan icecream shops in other countries. Add a great selection of milkshakes, coffees, teas and especially the wonderful vegan waffles, together with kind service and this makes it a place definitely worth a visit. They also serve vegan cakes, cookies and chocolates from other local makers to top it off.
Read morePros: Best vegan icecream texture with great taste, Wide range of products, Kind service at a great location
Cons: None!

Good afternoon Tom, thank you so very much for your kind words of praise.

Best vegan ice cream - Edit
This is the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had. So creamy and delicious! It’s true that the price is quite high but for me it was worth it! If you order it to take away it’s a bit cheaper.
Read morePros: Delicious flavor, Creamy
Cons: Expensive
IceLabNiceCream
Good evening Angie, thank you so much for your kind review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your ice cream! As far as the price is concerned, all products are plantbased, and mostly biological. Our portions are generous. We only work with quality ingredients: no flavour enhancers, no artifical colorants. Apart from that we too are faced with increased costs: everything has gotten so much more expensive😒 And in Belgium, you are taxed differently whether you eat in or take your food away. We cannot help that, unfortunately. But apart from all this, we are truly happy you enjoyed your ice cream and we look forward to welcoming you again soon! Kind regards, Hilde
