Taste Test

I didn't like my milkshake because I found it too sweet but my friend that just got scoops of ice cream was so good! The mural inside was so cute too!

Great options at a great price

The variety and quality of the ice cream is fantastic but I was also pleasantly surprised to see similar prices to regular ice cream shops (rather than having marked up prices)

Delicious but small portions

Loved the unicorn poop flavor but two scoops was practically 4 bites of ice cream. Seemed like a rip off, unfortunately.

Pros: Lots of vegan ice cream choices

Cons: Expensive for small scoops

Ok I took one bite out of the cone and maybe a bite out of the cup, but not a ton of ice cream for what we paid. at Sweet Ritual in Austin

Get a Shake!

The shakes here are mind-blowingly impressive. However, I was never really that thrilled by any of the other types of creamy goodness they sling. Though, that may be because nothing can compare to those shakes…

Best milkshake in town

Their coffee shake chocolate sauce is amazing. Even my omnivore, coffee loving dad thinks it's delicious!

Yummy ice cream

I had the nicest interaction and the ice cream was perfect. They have lots of options to individualize which many places that sell vegan ice cream still lack.

Pros: Lots of exciting options, Wonderful staff

BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM

I love this place probably a little too much. The flavors are delicious and really you can't pick a bad flavor. They are always coming up with new seasonal flavors.

Pros: Excellent food, amazing staff, nice vibe

Good ice cream

I’ve had better vegan ice cream but definitely very solid. Many different flavor options and fairly priced.

S’mores. Solid flavor. However there was no chocolate at Sweet Ritual in Austin

Peanut butter chocolate. Medium size. Great flavor/taste and solid size for reasonable price at Sweet Ritual in Austin

So many choices!

The largest vegan ice cream parlour I’ve ever seen! Love that they have soft serve and hard icecream. Lots of sundae topping choices too. They have chocolate and peanut butter dip!

The very best!

Every time I come to Austin, I visit Sweet Ritual as much as I can. I was pleased to find that their ice cream is offered in restaurants and by the pint in markets around town.

All flavors are incredible, but the peanut butter chocolate chip and lemon poppyseed were my absolute favorites this visit.

You have to go here when in Austin!

Pros: All vegan , Lots of flavors, cakes, ice cream sandwiches, Like no other—completely delicious

Cons: None

Sweet indulgences!

One of my favorite places in Austin. They have the traditional ice cream flavors including a yummy coconut soft serve and always some unusual ones. My favorite is Rocky Road with mini Dandy marshmallows. The friendly staff will give you testers until you find your new favorite.

A really solid vegan ice cream shop

They have ice creams of all different bases, including coconut, sunbutter, peanut butter, cashew butter and almond butter. I sampled four different flavours, all of which were delicious. The 'unicorn poop' which they are somewhat known for was a bit too sweet for my tastes, but I really liked the ice cream that I ended up getting, which was peanut butter chocolate, made with a peanut butter base. The service was also really friendly and the store was clean and nice to look at.

Pros: Lots of different ice cream bases, Great selection of flavours

3 this place

I love this place. I've gone with 2 non vegans and they also seemed to enjoy it. My husband loves chocolate shakes and I know he has high expectation, but Sweet Ritual did not disappoint! He already knows where to get my bday cake next year😄

Pros: everything is vegan, different types of plant milk used as bases, shakes and banana splits are also options

I really enjoyed this place.

Lots of different flavors, very tasty, and everything is compostable from the cups and bowls to the napkins, spoons, and testers. This is a must visit.

Very yummy nice cream

My wife and I love this place! Every time we visit we are well pleased. Our favorite is that they have edible vegan glitter that you can put on your ice cream. There are several gluten free options which makes me happy, and there is never much of a wait. This is a fun spot to bring friends. We've found that a lot of our non-vegan friends like this more than dairy ice cream. Sweet Ritual knows their stuff and is a great addition to Austin.

Pros: A lot of flavors, Gluten free options, Easy parking

Ice Cream for Everyone (especially vegans!)

I was fortunate to go with two other people, and we all picked different flavors, so I was able to try about 8 flavors. Rocky Road was my absolute favorite. Sunflower Butter Chocolate Chip also unreal. Cones and toppings galore. If you're vegan, go. If you're not, definitely go.

Pros: rotating flavors, customer service, toppings and extras
