Delicious ice cream!

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
came with my class (all were non-vegan) and they LOVED it! They also have two kinds of waffles. Super friendly owner, too.

Pros: Delicious ice cream, Friendly staff, Well-priced

Many thanks and kindest regards, Hilde

Good all vegan Ice cream

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.

It 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

Good morning,

thank 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

Best vegan ice cream

Cosy ice cream spot in the city center. Offers a variety of vegan ice cream (and other sweet things)
The place is run by Hilde, she's a lovely lady and will take some time to have a little chat with you. The ice cream is the best i've had so far! Would highly recommend this place!
--------
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!

Zalig ijs en wafels

Wij zijn grote fan van de producten van IceLab.
Ze zijn niet te zoet.
Je kan 2 smaken in 1 bol nemen.
Je krijgt een grote bol ijs.
De aankleding is fris en aantrekkelijk.

All the flavours

OMG. This place had the most amazing flavours that it was hard to choose only 2 or 3 scoops! It's busy so be prepared to wait but it's worth it.

Pros: Amazing flavours , Free cute waffle

Cons: Busy but not surprising it's a popular place!

Unmissable!

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!

Cons: Expensive

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!

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!

Pros: many different flavours, FINLANDIA-flavour!!!!

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.

EL HELADO MÁS RICO DEL MUNDO

Mis favoritos son stracciatella, coffe y Amarena, el de chocolate también es increíble.
En 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.

As it is custom in Southern Europe to have tap water freely available in city centres, it is not a custom in Northern Europe. The city of Antwerp does not provide free tap water, for no one. Kindest regards and we look forward to welcoming you again soon, Hilde

Heaven!

It's a treat to be in a fully vegan ice-cream shop!
There 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

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.

Pros: Best vegan icecream texture with great taste, Wide range of products, Kind service at a great location

Cons: None!

Outstanding ice cream

Too much choice when everything is vegan! They kindly provide half scoops so we could try 6 flavours in 1 large cup! The best two were amareno and cheesecake. We will be back for more of those.

Pros: So much choice, Cherry in the amareno is absolutely delightful

Best vegan ice cream

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.

Pros: Delicious flavor, Creamy

Cons: Expensive

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
