Great flavor!

We split a vegan ice cream sandwich (which was a good quantity). Tasted great, my only nit is that there were only 4 vegan ice creams and 2 vegan cookies. That's not bad, but I was jealous of the non-vegan options they had.

Best food I had in Asheville!!

I was too stunned to speak. This was one of my favorite vegan desserts I’ve ever had. I got a mint chip ice cream sandwich and I have no negative remarks for this. I almost went back and got another.

Tasty vegan ice cream cookie sandwiches

The combination of fresh cookies with ice cream makes for a great dessert. We enjoyed our chocolate chip cookie sandwiches!

3.5 stars

I love the softness of the cookie sandwich and if you don’t want as much you could get a scoop of ice cream and a cookie on the side. My least favorite thing is that they don’t have many vegan flavors especially seasonally! I would ask all the time if they were getting any and they said they were working on it but never got it when I still lived there at least. The staff was so kind though!

Sammies are gigantic

The chocolate chip cookie was really good. The ice cream is slightly too coconut tasting for my liking. The sammie was way larger than I expected and couldn't finish it

Vegan ice cream sammies

Really cool concept! Vegan ice cream sammie. I did think it looked better than it tasted but it was still enjoyable.

YUM

Came here after 9 on a Friday for a sweet treat. They had vegan chocolate chip cookies, and either vanilla or strawberry ice cream. The sandwiches are BIG - my fiancé and I split one and I’m so glad we did. The cookies are DELICIOUS. The vanilla ice cream was super tasty, just be warned if you’re not a coconut fan, def a big coconut flavor! (Which I loved 🤗)

Nice find

They had one vegan ice cream sandwich option available. I don’t usually get chocolate chip ice cream, but I still enjoyed it.

Pros: Vegan cookie and ice cream

Cons: Plastic packaging

Delicious!

Got the vegan vanilla chocolate chip. The cookies are soft and delicious. I could have just eaten the cookies! The ice cream has a very strong coconut flavor. It is delicious but it definitely tastes more like coconut flavored ice cream than vanilla coconut milk ice cream.

Best vegan ice cream cookie Sammy

Must try while visiting Asheville!! Ordered the only vegan option which was vanilla ice cream (coconut based/taste). The chocolate chip cookies making up the sandwich were absolutely divine- soft and fresh. I would eat the cookies on their own. They are pre packaged now due to covid:

Pros: Extremely delicious , Affordable

Cons: Only one vegan flavor , Ice cream tasted like coconut

Delicious!

(Eaten during COVID-19 kerfuffle) Currently, all sandwiches are pre-made and individually wrapped. There was one vegan option today, which was coconut milk based vanilla with chocolate chip cookies. It was superb! The ice cream was creamy and the cookies soft. Even after finishing my sandwich, I could taste the individual flavors of the ice cream, the cookie, and the chocolate chips. My husband had a sandwich with ginger cookies and peach ice cream. He said the cookie was the texture of (and looked like) an oatmeal cream pie but tasted definitely ginger.

So Good!!!

This place is the best! I crave it all the time. The ice cream is perfectly creamy and the peanut butter cookie are to die for. So big too, I always eat half then put the other half in the freeze for the next day.

Pros: The ice cream recipe is perfect

Cons: Not a lot of vegan options

The best vegan ice cream in Asheville!

While they have limited flavor options and the chocolate isn’t that great, their other flavors are PERFECTLY creamy and full of flavor. They have lots of topping and cookie options. It’s a must-stop in Asheville!

Pros: The creamiest vegan ice cream ever , Lovely employees!, Soft cookies

Cons: Minimal flavor options

Wowzas. Delish and sustainable.

After reading about the ice cream sandwiches,I had to have one. I had the coconut vanilla ice cream between two flourless peanut butter cookies. It was bigger than my fist so I made my husband share it with me. It was DELICIOUS! My husband isn’t vegan and is an ice cream lover and said he approves too. Wowzas. The service was fast and helpful! And I forgot.. they use compostable spoons and bowls!!

Pros: Vegan ice cream sandwiches. , Serving size was huge, Compostable spoons and bowls!!

LOOOOOVE!

Man do they make a mean ice cream sandwich! They have several vegan cookie options and several ice cream options.

Peanut butter, chocolate chip, sugar (a flavor I haven't had in so long!) cookies

Matcha, peach, chocolate, vanilla ice creams.

Mix and match! They're huge. They're divine!

Their store is small and parking is a struggle. Head to the parking deck on up a bit where the first hour is free.

Pros: Multiple vegan options , They attend vegan festivals, Huge (big enough to share)

Cons: Downtown, Limited parking

Delicious treats in a cheery environment

Sunsine Sammie's offers at least two flavors of vegan ice cream. The chocolate sorbet is absolutely decadent; you can't even believe it's sorbet. The vanilla coconut is also really good. More vegan flavors should be coming soon. They've got at least two vegan cookies from which to make the sandwiches. The flourless peanut butter is to die for.
Each sandwich is huge, and can definitely be shared. Ask for it to be cut in half and put in a bowl. They're pretty messy otherwise!

Pros: Verry high quality, Nice industrial space, Convenient walk from downtown Asheville

Cons: No parking
