Very good soft serve

I finally made it down here.

This place is essentially a vegan Dairy Queen. They make “Snowstorms” like the DQ Blizzard. They make shakes. And they have soft serve with all of the toppings and such.

Great ice cream!

Amazing soft serve ice cream and they even make some of their toppings, which are basically vegan versions of famous candy bars, themselves!
I haven’t had a McFlurry-like soft serve for so many years and it was so good. I will definitely come back

Dairy Queen, Who is she?

I used to be a fan of Dairy Queen. The Blizzards were my all time favorites in the summer. Now, I’m Vegan and I highly enjoy Snowstorms instead at Runaway Cow! Kudos to the owner!

Pros: Robust flavors, The choco/van is a “hit twist”, Great customer service

Yessss! Who needs a blizzard when you can get a snowstorm!? We worked hard to recreate that classic ice cream shop, so we are glad you loved it! Come back and visit us again soon!

Vegan ice cream with tons of options

I grew up going to scoops (an ice cream shop that used to be in the same location) so was thrilled to find it had been replaced with a vegan spot! Super generous portions and the owners were really nice. I love how large the selection is with sundays, milkshakes, cones and more.

Thank you for stopping in! We want to be the neighborhood ice cream shop, so we are glad you weren't afraid to try us after seeing Scoops was gone. Come back and visit us again soon!

I can’t wait to come back!

So great to see a fully vegan ice cream shop on the south side of Chicago! We visited for the first time, and the staff was nice and explained everything they offered to us.
I ordered the Oreo hurricane and it was super creamy and satisfying. I’m looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Such a treat on the south side!

Every vegans dream - soft serve ice cream! Can do dips or “blizzards”. They make their own vegan toppings and have GF cones and Oreos.

Pros: Delicious!, Lots of options , Easy Parking

Overwhelming # of VEGAN options

I had a really decadent nut chocolate bar, something vegans don’t really get to enjoy that often!!! I can’t wait to return to try another sundae.

DELICIOUS

When I heard about this place just opening I had to try it! It’s basically a Vegan Dairy Queen. Super reasonably priced. Tons of options.

I got a vanilla cone dipped in cherry. Hit the spot. My husband got the chocolate dipped in chocolate, and my mom got a fudge nut bar—which she says tasted just like the Dairy Queen buster bar (neither her nor my husband are vegan and they loved it). I plan on trying the snow storms next!

10/10 recommend
